Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 128 Falconry Bonds

"I belong to a lineage of expert falconers," Sophia declared with pride.

This revelation left Violeta confused, but Hayden took a shot in the dark, "So, are you related to the Reid family?"

Caught off guard, Sophia admitted, "Indeed, I am!"

"That makes sense."

The Reid family is renowned for producing some of the finest falconers in the nation.

For Hayden, getting involved with cagles meant he needed to contact their family.

Over tea, he calmly observed, "You must be Charles's sister, then."

Sophia, clearly surprised, rose from her seat. "Are you acquainted with my brother?"

"I caught a glimpse of him at an international falconry exhibition."

Sophia beamed with pride, "Wow! I didn't know Charles participated in an exhibition abroad! He is truly my hero!"

Following this conversation, Sophia turned to Violeta with an eager proposal, "Violeta, if you accompany me, you'll get the chance to partake in our family's yearly Falconry Festival! It's an event filled with skilled falconers and even a rabbit-catching contest. Why not come along?"

Though the idea was enticing, only proficiently trained falcons were eligible for such competitions. Young fledglings like Hera, still mastering basic commands, were not ready to compete and could only watch from the sidelines.

Nevertheless, witnessing Zeus in action captivated Violeta, who expressed her keenness.

"Niall, what do you think? Shall we?"

Niall saw no reason to object since the outing was meant for their collective enjoyment.

"Of course, since we're exploring, we might as well partake,” Liam suggested.

"I'm all for it," Zoren concurred.

"Add me to the list," Jasper voiced.

Grinning, Violeta made the decision final, "Great, it's decided. We'll head out the day after tomorrow!"

They spent the next day recuperating at the inn.

There, Violeta achieved a new milestone for the longest duration spent training a hawk, garnering admiration from many onlookers at the station.

Impressed murmurs circulated among the crowd as she nurtured the hawk by the window.

"She looks no older than twenty, the same age as my daughter, yet her resilience is astounding!"

"Observe the golden eagle in the cage, albeit with some feathers missing. It has survived for seven days. That eagle is nothing short of remarkable."

"The significance lies not in the feathers but in its battles."

Chiming in, the innkeeper shared, "When the golden eagle was first brought here, it was blindfolded. I was baffled until its release, when it showed fierce aggression, nearly injuring me. It struggled vehemently in the cage, shedding feathers from its head. The girl's ability to calm it is indeed commendable. Her resolve goes beyond mere determination."

"With an eagle this formidable, it's conceivable hahaha."

Initially, Hera wouldn't accept any food from Violeta. Yet, after being tamed successfully, the eagle warmed up to her.

Post-taming, Hera indulged in a substantial meal.

Being a young eagle, it would take Hera about four to five years to grow into an adept and autonomous hunter.

Eagles stand among the avian species with the most extended lifespans, living up to seventy years. Unless unforeseen events occur, Hera might accompany Violeta for her entire life.

Before they set off in the afternoon, the innkeeper took a group photograph with a camera.

Violeta planned to pose with the birdcage for the photograph. Still, unexpectedly, Hera perched on her shoulder right when the photo was taken.

That moment was immortalised.

Following the photo development, the innkeeper displayed it on the wall in the inn's lobby and handed them a copy as a souvenir.

The Reid family's vehicle was ready to transport them to Willowbrook.

In the car, Violeta meticulously examined the photograph, noting numerous individuals, including her group and Sophia, along with the boy who secured the second spot in the eagle-taming contest, positioned prominently towards the front centre.

His bird, a magnificent goshawk, captured her attention.

After the contest, he and his eagle were mainly seen upstairs or in the backyard, rarely mingling with others.

He and Violeta never conversed, and their interactions could have been more varied. She only knew his name was Aaron, thanks to the innkeeper.

Aaron was both attractive and aloof.
