Cindy’s old pocket watch displayed twenty-five minutes until midnight. She’d been standing on the dirt road outside Lord Gerard’s large manor for about ten minutes now, wondering if she was doing the right thing. Her inner voice kept telling her that she was being silly, that perhaps the medals weren’t worth the hassle, but then memories from the past contradicted her voice of reason. Ida, Cindy’s stepmother, had been treating her worse than usual lately, and Cindy wasn’t sure what was causing it.

Cindy suspected that this change of attitude must have had something to do with her father’s will. Apparently, Ida’s counsellors were analysing it again, trying to find a way in order to cancel it out completely. Either way, Cindy didn’t care. Ida had no right to sell her dead father’s possessions—she was only her guardian. Everything, including the estate itself, still belonged to her, and would so permanently as soon as she fulfilled the clause in her father’s will.

The medals were priceless. Cindy’s father had gotten them from his great-great grandfather. He had often removed the medals carefully from their encasement, polished, and then just stared at them for hours. Cindy had never asked what they’d truly meant to him, but many memories of her father were in those precious items.
