War for Genius

11.- Finalizing the preparations

Or so they believed.

"Dewey, Louie," the housekeeper called. The two children turned to her and, speaking at the same time, replied innocently:

"Yes Mrs. Beakley?"

The woman put her hands on her hips told the two boys:

"You'll help me clean the rest of the house."

Both children opened their eyes wide, and their protests didn't wait:

"Wait what?"

"Why?"

They seemed offended at the idea of ​​having to help clean the whole house. Why did they have to do it? That wasn't their job, they were part of the McDuck family, they didn't have to do housekeeping.

Beakley looked at them both, and crossing her arms she responded to their protests by explaining:

"Don't think I didn't see how you two hid while I was speaking with your brother. Picking up the room is your daily chore too, I also know that Huey is the most orderly of the three, so come on, you'll help me."

The two children seemed to be defeated by that explanation, so they had no choice but to do what the woman told them. And they spent the rest of the day cleaning the entire mansion, much more work than they would have had if they had only to picked up their own room.

Scene

Webby was in Scrooge's office inspecting what appeared to be a world atlas while the rich duck was reading some kind of old document with the help of a magnifying glass.

Suddenly the young girl looked up from the atlas and said excitedly:

"I think I've found the valley where the dragon Kilgharrah's great lost treasure could be hidden."

Scrooge also looked up from what whatever he was reading, and with a huge smile replied:

"Very well lass, I've almost deciphered the entirety of this scroll that will allow us to overcome the various obstacles that we'll encounter there."

Webby stood up and clasped her hands, saying to the adult duck:

"It'll be a truly exciting adventure, won't it, Mr. McDuck?"

Scrooge let out a soft laugh and replied:

"I think so lass, and if ye come, we'll surely succeed in finding that treasure."

Webby's smile faltered momentarily before adding:

"Yes, but not just me, the boys will also help, for sure."

Scrooge stopped smiling, and looking away, said under his breath:

"Yes... some more than others, I'm afraid."

Webby widdened her eyes with some surprise and concern, then said:

"Don't say that Mr. McDuck, we all love going on adventures with you."

The duck with a top hat again smiled tenderly. Speaking softly, he said:

"I told ye lass, call me, Uncle Scrooge"
