"Well, if this is real, and they're not going to make any attempt to capture him, then they'll have no reason to get mad at us," Nestor argued. "They'll only have a reason to get mad at us if it's a trick designed to allow them to capture Kyle. So, if they do get mad... then, I'll assume it's just a trick, and I'll take Kyle home."
Anita still was frowning. “I doubt the king would do that.” She said sighing.
"Well, I have every reason to be paranoid," Nestor countered. "For the past few months, he's tried multiple times to take Kyle from me - both by persuasion and by force. Those efforts all failed... so all he's left with now is subversion and trickery. If he's not above military attacks, then he's not above that either. I realise the assault on our castle happened before you arrived here - so, I forgive you if you don't know about it - but, it did happen."
Anita still seemed confused. "But why? And why doesn't he live here? I mean shouldn't he be? And why would he live with you instead? I get why Jake doesn't...but Kyle...it doesn't make sense."
"Well, he used to live in Lennart Castle," Nestor clarified. "But then he ran away, because his father kept abusing him. And he decided to live with me, to be with his girlfriend Aliana, who is also my daughter. Though, he keeps trying to escape back here... to be honest, the only reasons why I don't let him are because I don't want to upset Aliana, and because I know he'll just be abused again here..."
Anita frowned. "I can't imagine Tom doing that...he hasn't with Kylie..." she said looking rather worried.
"Well, I guess that's because Kylie isn't his daughter," Nestor argued. "Sure, she is his granddaughter - but, she does have her mother to care for her - so, he doesn't need to look after her. I'd keep an eye on her, though..."
Nestor's guard was starting to grow impatient. "Can't we just go home already
?"
Suddenly Kyle started to stir. He opened his eyes groaning.
"Quick!" Nestor cried, as he signalled to his driver and guards. "Let's go, before he wakes up completely!"
Nestor then leapt inside the carriage - and slammed the door shut - much to the confusion and dismay of the Lennart Castle guards...
The guard and driver quickly got onto the carriage and quickly drove off.
