A Small Journey

Wilhelm lies weary alone in his home one night, the sounds of rain pounding against the roofing on Carrington Estate. His brain was scrambled from the events of the Social Season, having decided to take time, showing up to no more events since the Rosius Ball. Fully awake despite the darkness surrounding him, he would sift through old files of his mothers. He read the letter she had left him, many of her own documents she had left behind, finding several letters that would detail surprising information though they would not be what he looked for. Not that even he knew exactly what he was looking for. He spent the next few days pondering, living his life normally despite his new refusal of attendance to events, then he would begin to pack, scribbling a small note which he would leave at the entrance of Carrington for any visitor, likely his sister, to find upon arrival. It would seem hastily written by an eager hand.

 

“Dearest whoever,

     I don’t know why you are at my home but if it is in search of me, look no further! I have done much thinking these last few days and realized that I have some business I must attend to before I am ready to be the person I want to be. It plagues me these days, and for that I have elected to take a year or so in search, though do not fret I will be back eventually, likely quite soon. I don’t think there will be any emergencies but if there are, feel free to try and write to me, if I receive it I will be sure to reply as soon as I can. Until then, I will see everyone in some time! 

With Love, Wilhelm!”

 

With that settled, he excitedly made his way to that same Henrys Wharf that was so speculated about, though surely he would return unlike the rest.

Weeks past- perhaps months- into his journey. After sailing around, the Baron found what he was looking for. Face to face he saw the dream that had been kept hidden away only in the nights. Two familiar smiling faces- an outreached hand- a hug. Finally reunited if only for a little.

Without knowledge of her brother's leaving Mary scribes a letter to him, departing on her own trip months before he had.

Upon the Baron's return a letter rests atop his desked, devoid of any seal or markings except for a simple name printed on the front of the letter. The envelope reads "𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓶", and upon opening one would discover the following letter held within.

"Dearest Brother, 
I will travel to the countryside for a couple years and will not return for some time. Until I have reunited with the city I have left my children in your care, for I fear for their lives being watched by anyone else. I'll miss you dearly while I'm away and look forward to when I return, we will have much to talk about.
 

Signed with love,

Your Sister."
