MacEwan Castle. One year later.
The castle was just as Aaden remembered it, though it had been very long
since he had last stepped foot on MacEwan land. It towered over the hill,
stretching up to a grey sky, a colossal structure of stone that was as majestic
as it was intimidating. Like all castles, it did not only speak of wealth; it
also spoke of power.
When he reached the castle gates, Aaden handed the paper he had been
clutching in his hand all the way there to one of the guards, who proceeded
to have the door opened for him. Riding inside, the few memories Aaden
had of the place rushed back to him. There was that oak he had climbed as a
child, falling from the lowest branches and scraping his knees. There were
the stables where he had first learned to care for his horse, and the kitchens
where the maids would give him apples and sweets in secret.
He wondered how many of those maids still worked there. He wondered if
any of them would remember him now that he was grown, now that his face
was covered by a short beard and he would no longer be looking up at them
with wide, mischievous eyes.
Despite everything, Aaden had missed the place. He only wished he could
have returned under different circumstances.
The invitation he had handed to the guard outside had come as a surprise.
He never expected to return to this place, given that his uncle didn’t want to
even look at him. He knew there was only one reason why he would ever
call Aaden there; it meant he wanted something from him and whatever that
was, it couldn’t possibly be good.
After jumping off his horse and passing the reins to the stable boy, another
servant came to fetch him. Aaden followed the young man inside and soon
found that even all those years later, he didn’t need a guide. He remembered
where everything was, the details slowly coming back to him.
Still, he doubted his uncle would allow him to roam freely around the
castle. If anything, Aaden was surprised that no guard was following him,
but then again, there was no real danger for Ruadh. His uncle was the laird
of the clan and as long as Aaden was in there alone, he was powerless, even
with all the weapons he carried around his waist.
Weapons, he noted, that no one had taken from him.
They came to a halt in front of a large door that Aaden identified as leading
to Ruadh’s study. The servant announced him, and Aaden walked in to see
his uncle there, sitting behind his grand desk, surrounded by all his riches:
colorful tapestries, thick rugs, heavy, dark furniture that had a presence even
more imposing than the man’s own.
