Just as Roland plopped his butt on the wheelchair, his demeanor changing faster than the weather, hurried steps were suddenly heard as Roland's back instinctively stiffened exchanging glances with Ivan. The old butler pushed open the door taking in the sight before him.
On the floor sat Roland looking pale and shocked as if his ghost had left his body and was just slowly returning or as if he saw a ghost itself while his bedroom was a total wreck.
When asked what happened he teared up stuttering while answering, "I- I - I I got off the wheelchair and was about to head to bed when a cat came out of nowhere and scattered everywhere. I was so scared and jumped out of bed landing on my butt."
Roland said in one breath trying his hardest to keep up the act with extra teary eyes.
The butler named Alfred took one good look at him and burst into hearty laughter while Roland was left looking lost like a cute little puppy internally battling with his thoughts if his act and made up story was not convincing enough.
The man continued laughing his heart out holding onto one of the broken chairs in Roland's room, almost lost his balance but just kept laughing.
"Hahahaha, our young master is scared of cats now I'll inform the King and Queen. Hahahaha." Old butler Alfred said breaking out into hearty laughter once more.
"No, no, no please." Roland begged bringing on the waterworks and pouting dramatically just so Alfred would drop the matter as he internally hailed girls for being experts in such field that a tear from them brings coos from everyone but that wasn't the case for the boys as they would have to work their way through.
Just when all hope seemed lost Old butler Alfred finally agreed holding his chest and laughing out once more as he made his grand exit just as much as he made his entrance.
