"Where's Athos?!" The youngest of the musketeers asked as only 2 offical members of the musketeers stood infront of Captain Trevile's desk in his small wooden office. Trevile's eyes didn't leave his paper work as Aramis and Pothos smirked slightly before their captain's head over looked the 3 men.
"Athos, is on a personal mission" He stated, D'artagnan 's brows furrowed
"What personal mission?" He asked curiously
"His daughter was forced to marry, so she ran away from her home with her mother and step father...So he has gone to retrieve her" Aramis said not taking his eyes off his captain's gaze
"Her step father is a powerful man, rumors had it he's sent solidiers out to retreive her and kill anyone in their path..."
"Even Athos?" D'artagnan said with suprised in voice.
"Expecially Athos!" Pothos grumbled as Trevile motitioned his arm for them to leave. The 3 men walked out the office silently and stood outside on the porch, rain battered down on the ground, the sky was dark and gloomy. The musketeers headed towards Constance's house where D'artagnan was staying, they was greeted by the brown haired female with a tray of hot tea and 2 cups.
"Oh Hello, I didn't expect you back so soon" She stated as the 3 men walked into the kitchen area, her eyes fixed on the youngest member of the group. Constance smiled as she grabbed 3 more cups
"How is it?...I mean the situation?" Pothos asked not wanting to reveal anything without getting confirmation from Athos himself.
" Quite bad, she's in the living area. I'm making her tea to calm her down" She replied as Aramis and Pothos nodded before Athos emerged from the room, a serious look upon his face. Th3 other 3 men stayed quite as 'the leader' got himself a glass of water. Pothos put his hand on his shoulder and patted his a couple of times.
"Don't worry, no harm will come to her" Pothos said reassuring him as he nodded in agreement but yet he remaind silent. Constance took a seat next to D'artagnan as he crossed his arms, glaring into the seating area of the house, trying to take a glimps of Athos's daughter.
"Come on we have a scheduel to attend" Athos finally said, as the 3 musketeers headed out the kitchen into the grounds, the youngest followed but was pushed back by Athos himself.
"You are not coming, You're going to protect my daughter while I'm not here...let no harm come to her while i'm gone" He stated as the youngest stood back and nodded in understandment.
"No problem, she will be safe" He said quietly. Constance walked by him then turned around to D'artagnan
"I'm going to the stall, I'll be back around supper." She said as he nodded and left him alone in the house with Athos's daughter who he had not met. He heard movement come towards him, he kept quiet and still standing in the middle of the kitchen.
Mean While...
"I trust D'artagnan to protect her" Athos said
"What if he falls in love with her...?" Aramis asked curiously, being the romantic type he is, Pothos let out a gruff chuckled and smacked him at the back of the head.
"I would trust D'artagnan more than any other male around her, but knowing he has a thing for Constance, I merely doubt he will." Athos stated ajusting his hat. "Constance on the other hand, by any chance he does fall in love with her, She will have the problems, I mean my daughter is a handful already" He chuckled slightly to himself.
