Uncle Bill!!!
The sound of Layla's cry echoed through the woods.
Bill sat in front of his cottage warehouse, watching the sun setting down with some work on his hand.
At Layla's frantic call, he turned his head in bewilderment and looked at Layla, who ran towards him with a crimson red face.

Bill Remmer
Did you greet him properly?
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
G-Greet him? 😥
She got reminded how embarrassingly she introduced herself and the stunning, yet scary man in the distance had stared at Layla and then turned away without saying anything. When he mounted his horse again, two men further into the woods.
Ensuring they were no longer visible, she climbed down from the tree and fled to the cottage.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)

Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Then the Duke...
Bang!
NovelToon
Just as she was about to say something, a cold shot suddenly ranged out, shaking the stillness of the forest.
NovelToon
Startled, she turned her head towards the source of the noise.
NovelToon
She soon witnessed surprised birds emerging from the far side of the woods.
NovelToon
One of the birds fell from the trees, with its wings drooped helplessly.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
