Beren remained silent as they approached his manor. The driver cam to a halt and the coachman opened the door. Beren was the first out he helped Sophia out and Elenar. His butler was at the door waiting for him.<br/><br/>"Master Beren, you are early." The butler looked at the two ladies and then back at Beren, a almost horrified look on his face. He knew what Beren was and his family had served the Mountcastle's for years. But Beren had never brought home food.... Beren shook his head.<br/><br/>"Please show these ladies to the spare rooms on the fourth floor. I know this is short notice but there was an emergency."<br/><br/>Beren turned to Sophia and Elenar, "This is my Butler Matthew, he will take car of anything you need."<br/><br/>Matthew sputtered a few times, "Sir.... um..... Vivian is here."<br/><br/>Beren looked up right away, "What!?"<br/><br/>Matthew nodded, Beren almost growled, I told her yesterday.<br/><br/>Vivian came out the front door at that moment, "Beren!"<br/><br/>She saw the two ladies and smiled even wider, "Look! Everyone is early."<br/><br/>Beren merely glared at Vivian, his eyes saying, 'We will be talking later.'<br/><br/>Vivian winked at Beren and shook Sophia and Elenar's hand, "Well I am glad to meet both you all now come on and lets settle in to our rooms! You will have to tell me all about why you all are early!" Vivian excitedly led the ladies through the house.<br/><br/>Beren frowned, "I will be in my office Matthew.... could yo bring me some of the reserves..... I have no time to hunt and I need to drink now."<br/><br/>Matthew nodded and ran to the basement. Beren walked up to his office and started on a letter.<br/><br/>'Vincent, please meet me at the mansion tomorrow at noon. This is urgent. I will fill you in when you get here.'<br/><br/>When Matthew came up he gave Beren a goblet.<br/><br/>"Thank you Matthew, now could you deliver to Vincent?"<br/><br/>Matthew nodded and left right away.<br/><br/>Beren leaned back in his chair when the door swung open, Elenar came in a murderess look on her face.<br/><br/>"You have a lot answer for sucker! Damn you! What have you done? what are you doing?!!"<br/><br/>Beren waved a hand, "Look this isn't what I expected either but for Sophia's life and her reputation she needed to be brought here and you needed to come! Look I am not going to do what you think. This is for her safety alright? Now I have things to attend and you should sleep. Please, I will talk with you later."<br/><br/>Elenar turned red, "Alright fine.... we will talk tomorrow though."<br/><br/>Beren sighed and took a sip from his goblet.
