CHAPTER ONE
Lord Trenton glanced at his brother, Lord Reginald, as they made their way through the trees, attempting to be as quiet as possible. Their horses stood a short walk away, as they searched for the hares they had shot while riding. They were part of a hunting party, scouting the area for foxes and hares, but had only been able to shoot a few hare. The sound of the hunting dogs could be heard in the distance, but Lord Trenton paid them no notice.
Perhaps we should not trail any further, Trenton.
Where is your sense of adventure, Reginald,
Lord Trenton asked with an amused smile on his face.
Lord Reginald was the younger brother of Lord Trenton, and he of all people was aware of how adventurous his brother was. He loved being out of doors and the more time he spent in there, the happier he was. He had a keen sense of adventure and was the one who nudged his younger brother, and his best friend, Lord Wiltshire, to accompany him on his adventures. Once, the trio flew a hot air balloon over the English Channel to France.
Despite being absolutely terrified that they would die a most gruesome death, Lord Reginald and Lord Wiltshire never failed to be by Lord Trenton’s side. Lord Reginald glanced at his brother as he clutched onto his own rifle. They had strayed from the hunting party, but Lord Trenton did not seem worried at all. In fact, he was clearly in his element. Branches cracked behind them, and Lord Reginald glanced at Lord Wiltshire with wide eyes.
We are not hunting bears, or lions, Reginald,
Lord Trenton chuckled in amusement and made his way towards where the sounds came from. He disappeared into the foliage, and the other two men followed reluctantly. They did not possess as much courage as Lord Trenton, but they did not mind that one bit. There were times where they thought Lord Trenton was simply being reckless and careless with his life, but he certainly did not see it that way. He insisted that he only lived his life to the fullest, and that he did not wish to sit in his wheelchair one day when he was an elderly man, wishing he had done more things when he was able to.
Trenton?
Lord Reginald called out to him. Trenton, where are you?
I found a bear,
he answered with an amused tone.
If that is your attempt to be amusing, you have failed quite miserably,
Lord Wiltshire muttered.
Do not be such a boring fellow, Wiltshire. Adventure awaits.
Perhaps there is more that awaits us than mere adventure,
Lord Reginald muttered as well, but they followed the sound of Lord Trenton’s voice.
Perhaps I shall leave you in your estate next time.
Perhaps, but who will ensure that you do not find yourself in a spot of trouble.
There is not a spot of trouble that I cannot handle…
Before Lord Trenton could complete his sentence, he was silenced by the sound of metal snapping, and he screamed out in agony.
Reginald! Wiltshire!
Lord Wiltshire and Lord Reginald rushed through the trees and found Lord Trenton lying on the ground. A foothold snare trap, the ones used to trap foxes in the area was wedged into his ankle and a pool of blood had already formed under his foot.
We have to get it off, Reginald.
It will do more harm than good,
Wiltshire said in a panic. We will not be able to pry it open.
Get it off!
Lord Trenton screamed.
We have to alert the others,
Lord Wiltshire said.
I will stay here with him, you go,
Lord Reginald commanded. Lord Wiltshire nodded and quickly rushed to find the hunting party.
It is ironic, Reginald.
What is, brother?
Lord Reginald asked.
"We were hunting foxes, and hares, but the only thing this foothold trap has caught is the ones who hunt the thing it
