The horse carriage glided with mesmerizing speed, leaving a trail of dust behind. Charlotte gazed out the window with wide eyes, while I smiled at her enthusiasm.
"Whoa, is this what the world is like?! I've never ridden a fast carriage like this," Charlotte exclaimed, amazed.
I chuckled softly. "Haha, this journey will be exciting."
The horses continued to gallop, the carriage wheels spinning rapidly, and the breathtaking scenery outside the window was a feast for the eyes. I was accompanied by Isabella and Charlotte, my new friend full of energy.
I opened the map given by the Queen, searching for the location of the harbor I was heading to. Suddenly, I was surprised to see that the road to the harbor went through Quenstown, my hometown. I smiled, memories of my childhood flooding my mind.
The morning sun began to shine brightly, and we would soon arrive in Quenstown. My longing to see my aunt grew stronger, and I couldn't wait to meet her.
We entered the Quenstown area, the gate opened wide, and we were warmly greeted by the gatekeepers. We were almost there, and my aunt's house was just a few blocks away.
After a while, we saw my aunt's house, nestled among other houses. We quickly got off and knocked on the door several times.
"Aunt May?!" I called out softly. "Hiro's here, I've come back. Aunt May?!" I grew impatient.
Wait a moment, someone responded from inside. After a while, the door opened, and my uncle stood before me.
"Uncle!" I hugged my uncle tightly. "Where have you been, Young Master? We've been worried sick about you for years."
My uncle hugged me back tightly, while Aunt May ran towards me and hugged me tightly.
"Where have you been, dear? Aunt misses you so much," Aunt May said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Forgive me, Aunt. I didn't want to trouble you. I could take care of myself," I replied, hugging her back tightly.
Meanwhile, Charlotte suppressed a laugh, and Isabella nudged her shoulder. "Sorry," Charlotte said, covering her mouth.
"Let's go inside, Young Master," my uncle invited me. I nodded, "Okay, Uncle."
We sat in the living room, waiting for a cup of tea, while Isabella and Charlotte busied themselves with Sophia, Aunt May's child.
"Wow, isn't she adorable?" Isabella cooed, pinching Sophia's cheeks several times.
"Yes, how can a human be so cute?" Charlotte agreed.
I was taken aback, remembering something important. "Uncle, is Mother's house still occupied?"
