Thrown Into A New World: Let The Punishment Begin!

Chapter 579 - Sevenz's Child?

While Yvonne was staring wide-eyed at the two people who bore an uncanny resemblance to each other, someone had arrived at the gates of the St. Claire estate.

After gaining permission from the Master of the household, the guards allowed the man to enter, and was soon brought to the Parlor.

Seated before the Earl and Countess, the man did not state his purpose straightaway.

Instead, his eyes scanned the room only to find that two other members of the St. Claire's family were missing right now.

Raylene and Rutherford were quick to comprehend the reason for his gesture.

"The children have gone to meet a friend." The Countess revealed the cause of their absence.

"Shall I summon them home?" The Earl added next to which the man opposite them shook his head in response.

"That would not be needed, Earl." He reassured them as he had only glanced around, wondering whether he would have to wait for the rest to join them.

However, hearing the explanation from the parents, he did not wish for the children to be called back as their excitement for meeting their friend could be destroyed.

Therefore, he had refused the Earl because their presence wasn't necessarily needed at this moment.

'They can be informed later.' He surmised and prepared himself to accomplish the task that he had been sent here for.

Pulling a scroll out of his coat, he stood up and handed it over to the Master of the household.

Rutherford stood upright as he accepted the scroll which had the Royal Seal present over it.

The man who had arrived today was the same messenger who had announced the Decree to them back when they were in their native fief.

This was also why Rutherford had suggested summoning the children back as he had assumed that another decree of some sort had arrived.

However, it was the messenger's personal curiosity that had led him to scan the room to find the brilliant children of the Earl.

When his actions were misunderstood, he corrected the Earl and had completed the task which had brought him here to deliver an important document from the King himself.

Having fulfilled his duties here, he bid farewell to the Earl and Countess before following Butler Limo who would escort him out to his carriage.

The Earl and Countess too were courteous with the man who was one of the chosen few who were allowed to handle the letters written by the King himself and thus, they needed to be dealt with respectfully.

The couple watched until the carriage left their estate before they returned to the parlor to read the scroll which the messenger had come to deliver today.

"This is…" Rutherford raised his brow after reading the contents of the scroll before handing it over to his wife who seemed curious to know what the King had sent over.

At the same time that Raylene was reading what was written on the scroll, her daughter was blinking her wide eyes in shock as she observed what was right before her.

Back at Sevenz's mansion, the butler of this household had led the unexpected guests through the door that opened up to the backyard located behind this beautiful mansion.

Howard and Jax's eyes were scanning around the area they had been brought to by the old man.

The skies were bright with the warm spring breeze circulating around them.

Summer wasn't here yet but it was soon approaching and one could make its arrival out by the heat which was beginning to intensify with each passing day.

However, Yvonne wasn't concerned about the days which were getting hotter with time.

Her entire attention was focused on the two who were standing before her.

On one side was the man whom she had come over to visit today, her friend and business partner, Sevenz Oca, the owner of Ocular Caravans.

But today, Sevenz's glorious and foreign features hadn't been able to attract her eyes.

Instead, it was the one who stood on the other side of the young man who had gained the eye of this young girl.

Head full of thick black hair just like the older man, the boy with similarly foreign features had turned in her direction after feeling her steady gaze aimed at him.

Yvonne's amethyst eyes came in contact with his pale eyes which at first glance seemed to be white like Sevenz's but taking a longer moment to look into them, she realized that first glances could be misleading.

A light shade of pink irises, pale enough to make someone mistake them to be white was what she had discovered after taking her time to gaze into those eyes looking back at her.

If earlier, Howard and Jax were busy gazing around, now they were leering at the newcomer who was staring at the girl who was with them.

'Who is this now?' The elder brother was troubled by the appearance of this new person.

Sevenz's presence was enough to annoy him but this younger boy who appeared to be around their age only made him irked furthermore.

"Yvonne!"

The loud shout coming from the adult among the children shook them awake from their contemplative thoughts.

The little girl averted her gaze from the boy who resembled this man and turned in his direction.

"My surprise did not seem to work out as planned." She complained with a huff that elicited a chuckle from both Sevenz and the butler who had guided them here.

Rolling her eyes at him, Yvonne turned towards the boy who was silent ever since they had arrived.

When the door was pushed open just earlier, Sevenz and the new boy were facing each other as though they were conversing before they were interrupted by the arrival of the group of children.

As Yvonne inspected his features once again, she noticed how the boy looked eerily like a miniature version of Sevenz with just a few minor discrepancies between them

'Is this kid Sevenz's child?' She speculated as the resemblance surely was uncanny.

It was not just her who had made this assumption as even Howard and Jax had come to the same conclusion.

'He looks quite young but his son is almost the same age as me.' Howard shook his head at Sevenz's lecherous ways which could be the only explanation for what he was witnessing right now.

In his mind, Sevenz had spawned this boy at a very young age which caused a trace of disgust to coat his eyes and he leered at Sevenz, making his displeasure known.

The distasteful gaze aimed at Sevenz was so obvious that he had grasped what was running through their minds.

This made him widen his white eyes as he gasped out loud and clutched his chest as though it was painful for him to bear.

The rest who were watching him were surprised to notice this change as they were now worried that he wasn't feeling well.

However, that changed after hearing the sentence that came out of his lips the very next second.

"How could you doubt my purity that way!?" He whimpered and sniffled while wiping the non-existent tears which were flowing out of his eyes.

Yvonne had her brows furrowed when he had clutched his chest but looking at his horrid acting skills, she scoffed at him before crossing her arms across her chest.

Noticing her response, Sevenz was worried that his innocence was truly being questioned right now.

Therefore, he turned towards the boy next to him and leered at him.

"Oi, Brat! Tell them that I'm still pure!" He commanded but his voice wasn't stern nor menacing, rather it was slightly playful like one would speak to someone they had a close relationship with.

This statement made the three guests turn towards the boy as well and they waited to hear his side of the story.

"How could they even think that I would have a child who was already this old!?" He grumbled in a whisper and pouted but no one was even listening to him right now.

They all wished to hear what the kid would say as his answer would prove whether Sevenz had truly fathered him or not.

With numerous gazes fixed on him, the boy scanned their faces and there was a slight glint of annoyance in those pale pink eyes.

While Sevenz was getting impatient that this young fellow was continuing to remain mum, allowing their thoughts to run wild, the young boy finally parted his lips.

"Uncle." A two-syllable word escaped his lips as he pointed his finger to the adult standing next to him.
