My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 55 Upcoming Danger!

?

The butler, Josh entered the grand hallway, his white hair and mustache standing out against his black butler's suit. His face was lit up with a wide smile, which caught the attention of the Viscount, his wife, and their son.

"Good morning, my lord, my lady," Josh said, bowing respectfully. "I have received some news from the border town."

The Viscount raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What news, Josh?" he asked.

The butler's smile grew even wider. "Our scouts have found two individuals who match the description given by Master Jayden," he said, his tone filled with excitement.

Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise, and Jayden leaned forward, his expression filled with hope. "Are you sure?" the Viscount asked, his voice low and serious.

Josh nodded emphatically. "Yes, my lord," he replied. "The scouts have followed them and reported that they have been staying at a nearby mansion," 

"They have been seen meeting with other hunters and discussing something in hushed tones."

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed as she spoke. "Do you think they are the ones responsible for what happened to our son?" she asked, her voice tinged with anger.

Butler Josh nodded, his expression serious. "It is very likely, my lady," he said. "Our scouts have been keeping a close eye on them and will continue to do so. We can send some of our men to apprehend them."

Viscount Lewis stood up from his seat, his expression determined. "No," he said firmly. "I will handle this myself. I will not let anyone harm my family and get away with it."

Jayden looked up at his father with admiration in his eyes. "I want to help, Father," he said, his voice firm.

Ethan looked down at his son, a sense of pride filling his heart. "Of course, my boy," he said, placing a hand on Jayden's shoulder. "We'll do this together."

The Viscount rose to his feet, his expression fierce and determined. "We must act quickly," he said, his voice filled with authority. "Gather the men, Josh. We leave for the border town at once."

The butler bowed. "As you wish, my lord," he said, before hurrying off to carry out his orders.

As the family watched Josh disappear down the hallway, their hearts filled with anticipation and a sense of purpose.

Viscount Ethan leaned in to brush a few strands of hair away from his son's forehead, his fingers gentle as they smoothed down the unruly locks. "My dear son, you have my word that justice will be served. Whoever did this to you will pay dearly for their actions."

Jayden's eyes glinted with determination, his small fists clenching in excitement. "I know you can do it, Father. You're the smartest man I know."

A flicker of pride shone in Viscount Ethan's eyes at his son's words. "Thank you, Jayden. Your faith in me means everything."

But as Elizabeth spoke up, her voice dripping with malice, the atmosphere in the room shifted. "And when we find the culprit, they will regret ever crossing our family. I will make sure they suffer, every last one of them."

Viscount Lewis chuckled darkly, the sound sending shivers down Jayden's spine. "Yes, my dear. We will make them pay, and pay dearly."

Jayden watched his parents with a mixture of awe and fear, wondering just how far they were willing to go to avenge him. He knew one thing for sure - he never wanted to cross them.

Viscount Ethan Lewis stood by the window, his eyes fixed on the sprawling grounds outside. His wife, Elizabeth, stood beside him, resplendent in a new gown that accentuated her curves in all the right places.

"You look absolutely stunning, my dear," Ethan murmured, turning to look at her with admiration in his eyes. "That dress I gifted you on your birthday was the perfect choice."

Elizabeth smiled, her lips curving into a sultry grin. "I know, my love. You have exquisite taste."

As they made their way towards the hallway, Ethan's thoughts turned to their son. Jayden had been through a great deal in the past few weeks, and Ethan knew that his son was eager for revenge.

"My poor boy has suffered so much," Ethan said, his voice heavy with sympathy. "I can only imagine how eager he is to get his revenge now."

Elizabeth's eyes gleamed with a fierce light. "Yes, and we shall make sure that he gets it. The one who did this to our son will pay, and they will pay dearly."

Ethan nodded, a fierce determination in his own eyes. "We will not rest until justice is served. Our family will not be trifled with."

With that, they stepped out into the hallway, where their son Jayden stood waiting for them. 

The news of Jayden Lewis' brutal attack spread like wildfire across the kingdom, leaving the once-proud Lewis family reeling. Everywhere they turned, they could feel the mocking glances of other noble and aristocratic families, their once-unassailable reputation in tatters.

For Viscount Ethan Lewis, the shame was almost unbearable. He had always prided himself on his family's prestige and standing in the kingdom, and now that had all been taken away in one brutal blow.

As he walked through the halls of his opulent estate, Ethan could feel the weight of his shame pressing down upon him. He knew that no amount of money or influence could ever fully wash away the stain that had been placed upon his family's name.

And yet, even in the face of such adversity, Ethan was determined to fight back. He vowed to find the person responsible for his son's attack and make them pay for what they had done. He would do whatever it takes to restore his family's honor and prove to the world that the Lewis family was not to be trifled with.

But even as he plotted his revenge, Ethan knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult. The shame of his family's humiliation would follow them for years to come, a constant reminder of the brutal injustice they had suffered. And yet, somehow, he found the strength to keep going, driven by a fierce determination to set things right and restore his family to their former glory.

They arrived in the hallway where their son Jayden was waiting for them. His face was lit up with excitement and anticipation, his eyes darting between his parents.

Viscount Ethan placed a reassuring hand on Jayden's shoulder. "Are you ready, my son? It's time for us to bring justice to those who wronged you."

Jayden nodded eagerly, his small fists clenching with determination. "I'm ready, Father. Let's make them pay."

Elisabeth stood tall and regal, her eyes fixed on butler Josh as he made his way towards them. As soon as he reached them, she wasted no time in getting to the point.

"Josh, is the carriage ready?" she asked, her voice firm and authoritative.

Butler Josh bowed respectfully. "My lady, the carriage has been prepared with the best horses and a man of 50 troops of mages to accompany you. We have made all the necessary arrangements for a safe journey."

Viscount Ethan's eyes widened in surprise and admiration. "Well done, Josh. You truly are the best butler a man could ask for."

Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "Yes, Josh, you have outdone yourself once again. Now, how long will it take us to reach the border town?"

"It will take two days if we travel at maximum speed, my lady," Butler Josh replied, "but if you prefer a more comfortable ride, it will take us three days."

Jayden's fists clenched with anticipation as he heard the news. "Two days... that's all the time I need to make that bastard suffer for what he did to me."

Elisabeth shot a sharp glance at her son, her voice firm. "Remember, Jayden, we are not to act on impulse. We will execute our plan with precision and caution."

Jayden nodded, his eyes blazing with determination. "I understand, Mother. But I won't rest until justice is served."

Elizabeth pursed her lips in thought. "I don't want to be cooped up in a carriage for three days, but I also don't want to rush and arrive exhausted. Two days it is then, but we'll need to make stops for rest and provisions along the way."

"Very well, my lady," Butler Josh said with a nod. "I shall make the necessary arrangements. Is there anything else you require before we depart?"

Elizabeth shook her head. "No, that will be all. Thank you, Josh."

Viscount Ethan nodded decisively. "We cannot afford to waste any more time. Let us make haste to the carriage and begin our journey."

Elizabeth agreed. "Yes, let's go. I can't stand the thought of spending another minute in this house."

The butler bowed once more before taking his leave, leaving the Lewis family to prepare for their journey. As they made their way to the carriage, Elizabeth couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. They were on their way to make those who wronged her son pay, and nothing was going to stop them.
