Percival had Beatrice’s family forcibly sent back to their rural home.

At first, they kicked up a fuss and refused to go. Percival’s men were not gentle, so Michael ended up with a broken leg. Only then did his family reluctantly agree to leave.

But they didn’t succeed.

“Do you want to return to the Brooks family?” Percival intertwined his fingers with hers as his grip tightened.
