Chapter 247 - Solve The Mystery

    Lord Zorander did not believe the man. How could he? He clearly saw that this man had fallen into trance when he took his son''s hand.


    "Even if you misunderstood something you can still share it with us, that way we would be rest assured," lord Zorander said. He did not want to worry about a hidden enemy. It was best that they clear the misunderstanding or pay compensation if there was any.


    Prince Sébastien agreed with lord Zorander. It will be very problematic if his most trusted aid has something against someone that was related to his sunshine.


    Moreover, it seems his sunshine was close to this uncle of hers. Even Queen Agatha has come to visit them and try to establish kingship.


    "You can say it," prince Sébastien said when he saw that Jeffery was going to remain quiet. Since prince Sébastien has commanded him, Jeffery could no longer remain silent.


    "it like this, when I was fourteen, I meet a boy who had a similar scar as lord Zack. He said his father has given it to him during the war. It was supposed to be a way for them to find each other should they get separated," Jeffery said. He was unwilling to tell them he was the boy. If he was mistaken these people may get angry and feel that he must be trying to play some tricks. He was not even sure they had a missing child.


    When Lawrence heard this explanation, he was shocked. How could he not remember? He had used charcoal to create the scar. It was during the war and treating a wound caused by a dagger will not be easy. So when he saw the burning fire that night he had an idea.


    Of course, he did not dare try it on his son first. He had taken the hot charcoal and place it in his hand first.


    "This boy did he tell you how his father gave him the scar?" Lawrence asked. His voice trembled as he spoke. After many years there was finally a clue about his son. Although a person can have a similar scar but the cause should be different.


    He felt his heart tighten. He only hoped that Jeffrey''s next words will not destroy his hope." He said his father had used hot charcoal at night when they were hiding in the bush," Jeffery answered. The scene in his dream only forced on his father''s words and the scar he was not so sure of anything else.


    He did not know if they were other people, moreover, it has been years and Jeffery had fought in different wars. Some of his dreams overlap his experience in the war in recent years.


    When Lawrence heard this reply he took Jeffrey''s hand. He becomes certain that the boy referred to, must be his lost son. "Tell me, sir, this boy you talk about is he still living? Can you bring me to him?" Lawrence asked.


    Jeffrey was taken by surprise, he just looked at the man and did not know how to answer. When Lawrence saw Jeffrey''s face he thought it was because something bad must have already happened to his son. He swallowed his grief. He knew there was a chance for such a thing. But at least I could visit his final resting place.


    "Even if he is dead, can you take me to his resting place? At least I will be able to wish him farewell," when Lawrence said these words his heart was very bitter. He was unwilling to part with his son after just finding out he had survived the war that year.


    But what could he do? Since he force himself to speak his voice has come out a little louder and the grief in it was not hidden.


    Lady Bridget and the other ladies were returning to the welcoming hall, so when they heard the loud voice coming from inside they thought something big had happened so they fasten their pace.


    When they got into the reviving hall they saw Lawrence holding on to Jeffrey''s hand and looking at him as though his life and death were in the hand of this man.


    They were all surprised. They have only been away for an hour what could have happened between these men. The most panicked was Ellen. She was scared that her uncle had unintentionally offered prince Sébastien so Jeffrey had stepped forward.


    Lawrence on the other hand did not seem to notice the presence of the other people. The more Jeffery remain quiet the more anxious he became. It was also the same for lord Zorander. He had always felt guilty about his lost grandson. Although he knew Lawrence was stubborn but if he had asked him to return to Bozoa the day the war started, he was sure that his grandson could not have gone missing.


    Jeffrey on the other hand did not know how to react. He has never thought he will be able to find his family. It was too much to believe.


    The only person who could guess what was going on was Prince Sébastien. Jeffrey has been by his side for years. He knew that Jeffery got separated from his family during the war.


    Moreover, he has seen Jeffrey looking at his left hand many times. Each time Jeffrey looked at the hand he will fall into a daze. After a long time, Jeffrey will take a deep breath and cover the hand.


    After hearing the conversation between the two men, prince Sébastien could easily come up with a concussion. This lord Zack is the father of Jeffrey.


    It was no wonder Jeffrey was able to learn to act like a noble so easily. It was because he already had the training from childhood. Although Jeffery had lost his memory due to the fear of that year, he did not lose the things he had learned.


    Even if he did not remember them, once he was in the situation he was able to act out the role.


    Princess Ellen was the first to react. She walked over to the prince and pulled his robe gently. When prince Sébastien saw the worried look on her face he decided to help them solve the mystery since Jeffery has lost his tongue.


    Prince Sébastien stood up and walked over to the two men. He easily separated Lawrence''s hand from Jeffrey.


    When Lawrence saw this he realized he had acted out.. He was about to apologize when he saw prince Sébastien folding the sleeves of Jeffrey''s robe and showing him his left hand.
