The carnival was discovered by accident.
One of the housekeepers mentioned it at breakfast—a traveling fair that had set up in the nearby town with rides, games, and food stalls. Lily heard the word "rides" and immediately stopped eating her toast. Kyle saw Lily stop eating and immediately knew something important was happening. Within five minutes, both of them were begging to go.
"Please, Uncle Franz? Please? There's rides and games and I've never been to a carnival before. Leo hasn't either. Kyle hasn't either. We're missing important life experiences."
"I've been to a carnival," Kyle said.
"That was a school fair. It doesn't count. This is a real carnival."
Julian looked up from his coffee. "I don't mind going. Could be fun."
