Chapter 164 Discovering Her House.
\'This could be their house, this could be Lucia\'s house. Her father is a high-ranked chief, and these two knights in front of the house could be his. And the house looks appealing enough to be the home of a high-ranked chief\'. Aiden thought to himself still glancing at the knights and the house.
..But he wasn\'t sure, everything was still based on probability.
But even if this wasn\'t Lucia\'s house, this should be the house of an official in this kingdom...this Aiden was sure of, and his thinking was true.
Aiden was still glancing at the house trying to comprehend if it was Lucia\'s or not, and the knights had noticed it by now. One of the knights wanted to walk toward Aiden and ask him why he was staring when two men walked past Aiden conversing.
They were dressed in the same color of robes, yellow, and as said, they were conversing as they walked past Aiden. The moment they walked past him, they glanced at the house Aiden was staring at, they also sighted the knights.
And these were the words that flowed out of one of the man\'s mouths...
"Look at that, isn\'t this the house of that average-ranked noble?".
..Aiden heard that, and he immediately glanced at the two men...average-ranked noble?
"Yes". The other man said with his gaze focused on the house and the knights as well.
"I think, another official\'s house isn\'t that far from where we are currently, just a few more strolls, and we\'ll get there". The first man stated.
"Is he a noble or a chief?". The second man inquired.
"A high-ranked chief". The first man responded.
The moment Aiden heard that, his face lit up, and his eyes widened, he was searching for the house of a high-ranked chief, Lucia\'s house...it could be it was the same house they were talking about.
"Once we get to the house, show me". The second man said.
The first man just nodded his head as they were still walking...by now, they had taken their gazes off the house and the knights.
Aiden knew he\'d have to follow these men, it could be it was the same house he was searching for that they were talking about. He needed to trail them without their knowledge.
This house beside him currently wasn\'t Lucia\'s house since this man said it was owned by an average-ranked noble...and Lucia\'s father was a high-ranked chief. He glanced at the house one more time before he began following the men from behind.
..One of the knights that wanted to walk toward Aiden didn\'t anymore after those men walked past and were also glancing at the house.
Seems like it was a normal thing for people to glance at the house when walking past since it was the home of an official...especially when they are in front of it.
Aiden was following the men from behind without them knowing...he was doing it cautiously. The men were just walking and conversing, in this situation, they\'d never be able to discern that someone was following them from behind.
They had strolled for about three minutes now, and the moment they arrived at a certain house, one of the men stopped the other man, then he pointed to the house in front of them and said,
"This is the house of that high-ranked chief I was telling you about".
"Oh". The other man let out nodding his head a little, then he voiced out once again, "What a nice structure".
"Yeah, their houses are always beautiful...what do you expect, they are officials".
"Well, let\'s get going".
..And with that, both men walked away.
Now, Aiden heard everything that they said, he also sighted the house they said was owned by a high-ranked chief, it was looking awesome. He began walking toward the house so he could take a better look at it.
He reached the house and was glancing at it properly, and it was so cool. It was fenced round and gated. And though the gate was a little high, if you move back, you would be able to see the compound and even the below of the house.
..He wanted to see those, so he began moving back.
And when he had moved back properly, he was seeing the compound of the house, it was well-beautified. And he could see horses on the compound as well and some other animals...number one animal, sheep.
..And something else...he could see knights in front of the house.
About two of them, this was confirmation, this was the house of a high-ranked chief just as one of the men said. But was this Lucia\'s home? Was her father the high-ranked chief they were talking about? This was what Aiden wanted to know.
And how was he gonna know? He needed something to happen, maybe Lucia strolling out of the mansion, and that would be straight in confirmation for him.
He was glancing at the house, but he made sure the knights in front of it didn\'t notice him. Once they notice that he\'s been staring for too long, they\'ll start suspecting him.
People were walking past him from both the front and behind. But he made sure many of them didn\'t notice that his gaze had been on the house for some time now. Anytime someone was walking past, he\'d make it seem like he was standing there with a lot running through his mind...
..They weren\'t discerning that his gaze had been on the mansion for some time now.
We know how the human brain works, once they discern that he was glancing at the house, and he\'s been there for some time now...they\'ll start suspecting him.
And to make matters worse, the house he was glancing at was the home of a high-ranked chief...does he plan on doing something to the man and his family? Was he one of the wicked natives of the Tuvalon Kingdom?
This might be some people\'s thinking when they discern he\'s been glancing at the house for some time now.
But there was something Aiden wasn\'t aware of...some people recognized him as the son of Ethan Dankworth while walking past. And you know what ran through their minds at that moment?...
\'What is Aiden doing here?\'.
They noticed him, but didn\'t say anything nor did they approach him, they just walked past. He has his reason for being here, they didn\'t want to know the reason...they have their problems to deal with.
Aiden still stood there waiting to see if anything could confirm that this was Lucia\'s house. Yes, this could be her house or the other way round...he just needed some sort of confirmation before he\'ll leave...
..Was this her home or not? That\'s what he wanted to know.
And then something happened, he was still standing there when the door to the house opened, and he focused his gaze on that place to see who\'d come out of it. And did you know who came out of it?...Lucia.
Aiden\'s eyes widened the moment he set eyes on her, this was confirmation, this was truly her house, the high-ranked chief those men were talking about was her father...the two knights in front of the house belonged to them.
..He was a little happy at that moment, he had known where her house was situated, his efforts weren\'t to waste.
She was wearing a mixed-colored robe, a yellow and purple-cored robe, two colors mixed. And the robe seemed expensive, she was wearing an expensive robe at home?...wow!
And she was looking beautiful, Aiden noticed that the moment she walked out of the house, her skin was glowing. She didn\'t say anything to the knights after walking out of the house...she just walked straight onto the compound.
For some seconds, Aiden couldn\'t discern where she was heading, but after some seconds more, he had already discerned her destination. She was walking toward where the sheep were...there were more than ten of them.
As said, there were sheep on the compound along with some other animals. She reached the sheep and quickly bent as she was rubbing the head of one of the sheep. After rubbing the head, she put something into the sheep\'s mouth as it was chewing it.
..Seems like she had a liking for sheep, and seems like the sheep she fed just now was her favorite...Aiden was discovering things about her.
\'Seems like she has a liking for sheep\'. Aiden thought to himself.
The moment she had put the stuff into the sheep\'s mouth and it was chewing it, she glanced at it for some seconds before standing up. Then she began walking toward the house again...gosh! her walking was so elegant.
Aiden was just imagining having her in bed, she\'d most likely be sweet.
\'You are my first target, and I\'ve discovered where your home is situated, one mission accomplished\'. Aiden thought to himself with his gaze focused on Lucia as she strolled.
..He had discovered one thing about her, he knows where her house was situated now, but there were other things he wanted to know about her.
