All in my head

“So this is the market?” the young man asked.

He wore a classic attire that nobles normally wears. A butler hurriedly climb down the carriage and went to the young man with a tense expression.

‘Young master, I told you to stay at the mansion. Your father will get furious at me for bringing you here along with me in the market.” He said in a nervous tone.

Karen recognized the butler, he was the one who bought all the meat that she was going to display at the market a few days ago. The vendor beside her, Helen also recognize the butler.

“Isn’t that him?” Helen ask as she elbow Karen who recognize him as well. “Yes, that’s him alright. Hey stop poking your elbow at my back” she said as she tries to defend herself from Helen’s poking elbow attacks. “I did not expect him to be one, I thought he was some

“I assume this is the stall where you bought all those meat the other day?” the young man said as he points at Karen’s stall.

The butler’s head tilted towards the direction where his young master is pointing. “Yes, that’s where I got all those meat the other day.” He nodded as he answered in a cracking voice.

“I want to see the place myself, so don’t be nervous about father blowing your ears off. I have your back.” The young man said as he pat the butler’s shoulders.

He felt his body tingle as his young master pats his shoulders. [Have my back my ass. Last time you forgot to protect me from master after our recent journey.] he thought with a straight face.

He slightly open his eyes, revealing a green color with an upward slanting point pupil as it moved towards Karen at her stall. “Now if you will excuse me young master. I will go buy some meat again.” He said as he gently bow down. “Okay” his young master replied immediately.

[I have a bad feeling about this.] he thought as he pass by his young master so he turn his back after he traveled a few steps away from him and saw his young master behind his back. [I knew it!] he told himself as he smiles awkwardly.

“Oh, I thought you are going to buy the meat? Why are you stopping?” he c***k a sinister smile as he said in a playful tone.

“My apologies, I will got buy them now.” He said as he continues to walk towards Karen.

He saw Karen and Helen’s puzzled expressions so he turn his back and saw his young master behind his back, again. His eye brows started to twitch in irritation with his young master trying to make a fool of him.

“What is the matter?” his young master asked while smiling. “No-nothing.” [I swear this kid is making me look like an idiot.] He answered with his eye brows twitching.

Karen and Helen did not have a good look in his eyes on his recent visits because he always close his eyes during those times. “Wait, he is a demi-human?” Helen said as she poke Karen with her elbow again. “Don’t ask me, I just realized that just now as well.” She answered as she defends herself from Helen’s elbow pokes.

As the butler walk and turn his back he will always catch his young master behind him.

“What is it this time Mars?” the young master ask. “How long are you going to follow me young M-A-S-T-ER?” his voice unintentionally rose at the last part. [S**t. I unconsciously raise my voice] he thought to himself.

“Huh? Following you? Was I?” he justified in a lame voice.

Mars just stare at him with a straight face then he trace the length they traveled with his eyes. The young master saw him trace how far they have traveled from the carriage so he tries to erase his foots prints in a flash then whistled.

*Phew – Phu – Phew – Phu!*

“What?” he ask as he saw Mars’ eyes stops to stare at him.

After seeing the young master’s idiotic reaction and denial, Mars got so angry that he starts to grind his teeth while smiling awkwardly.

[This brat still denies it even after the cat is out of the bag already.] he thought to himself with his nerves nearly exploding from stress.

“We do not have all day Mars, get going already.” He said in a playful tone. [Just a little more push. He he he he.” He thought as he laughs internally. “Yes, young master.” He answered as if he was on autopilot.

Mars continues to walk towards Karen and Helen when he heard footsteps behind him and as he turned back he saw the young master following him. Something inside Mars broke into pieces. The young master blew up some fuse after he repeatedly toyed with Mars.

[Oops] the young master thought to himself as he saw Mar got pissed.

Mars completely opens his eyes as he walk towards the young master with the intent to kill in his eyes.

*Stomp*

*Stomp*

*Stomp*

His footsteps seems to have a strong force behind it, to the extent that it made all the cells in everyone’s body saying it is dangerous to interfere with the trouble.

The sight of angry Mars made the hair on the young master’s body stood like needles.

“Hey Mars, what are you doing? I was just joking you know. Hey come on.” He said as he slowly walk backwards while Mars is walking towards him.

Sweat drips from his forehead to his cheeks as his heart beats rapidly knowing Mars with a background as an outstanding fighter that almost rivals all of the elders in the academy.

[Did I play with him a little hard? His killing intent is oozing out of his body like perfume, the stench of death. I did not know that he will snap before my prediction limit.] he thought as Mars is looking down at him with extreme angry in his face. [This guy is not joking at all, he really is trying to kill me! I need to ask for help.] he continued.

“I have had enough of your bulls*** you stinking brat! And you have the nerves to say that you are not following me and making me look like an i***t! You think just because you are the successor to the throne means you can do anything?!” Mars said as he poke the young master hardly on his chest with his finger that it made him walk a step back with every hard poke that Mars do.

He consciously raise his voice loudly with veins in his forehead bulging like worms under his skin. His face turned red like a tomato because of his extreme anger that almost boiled every blood in his body.

[This guy is not joking at all, he really wants to kill me.] he thought to himself with his body shaking in fear. “I was just joking Mars, you know I did not mean anything bad.” He pleaded with his clattering teeth.

“It is far too late to regret everything you did! Last time you said that you had my back, yeah I guess you really have my back. I had a hard time dealing with the punishment he gave me!

Mars drew his sword and points it towards the young master. “I am going to make you pay for everything you did you bastard!” Mars screamed as he swings his sword towards the young master who, too drew his sword to defend against Mars’ swordsmanship.

*SHVING!*

The sword of the young master got cut I half. [The monstrous strength that even made my platinum sword break into two pieces. Eh? Why is my underpants wet?] his fear of Mars’ strength got interrupted when he noticed that his underpants are wet.

His face instantly turned pale, he pissed himself. Everyone around them saw him pissing himself that he is forced to go back to the carriage with a towel covering his head.

“Serves you right you piece of s**t.” Mars said as he laugh at how much piss he did to his pants.

*FWOOOOOOP!*

“What are they doing?” Helen ask Karen. “Maybe a demi-human tradition before you buy meat?” Karen answered.

The both of them are staring at each other for a while that made Karen and Helen think that they are both idiots.

[Is what I want to happen, but whatever right?] he thought as he walk towards Karen’s stall.

(Everything that happened is only in Mars’ imagination.)

“Good day madam, would you allow me to buy all of your meat again?” Mars said as he smiles awkwardly after remembering their idiotic scene a few moments ago.

“Helen told me that you would wait for me to set up shop so I guess it is okay since I have some place to go to after this.” She said as she nodded her head.

[Isn’t the meat today a little few?] he ask as he saw the meat on the table being displayed are a lot fewer than the last time he bought. “Isn’t the meat today is a little few?” he ask Karen.

[How come a market as rundown as this got the most delicious meat the city has to offer?] he told himself as he take a look at the perfectly cut meat on the table behind Mars.

The young master was a little interested in the meat that Mars brought in the mansion a few days ago.

“Of course not, Helen can you help me lift this container?” she answered Mars and ask Helen for help. “Sure no problem.” Helen agreed. “Haaaa!”

*Tak!*

“That container is ridiculously heavy, how come your son had no issues carrying that thing from your home?” she asked as she held her back.

Mars and the young master both stare at the container that Karen and Helen placed at the table. Karen and Helen find both of them staring at the container a little strange since there is nothing special about the container.

[Why do I feel like there is something strange inside the container?] the young master thought as his eager eyes scan the container.

[What is this strange feeling? I have never been intimidated by a container before in my life. Except for-]

Both of them had the strange feeling after the vendors placed the container at the table.

[What are they staring at the container for? There is nothing special about it – except for the ice that never melt inside.] Helen’s eyes widened as she remembers the ice that never melts.

“Is there anything wrong with the container?” Karen ask as she look around the container hoping to find what they are staring at. [Hmmmm, strange. Helen did not have the same reaction before, how come these gentlemen had a different reaction. Well, maybe they are quite shocked by the size of the container.]

She decided that it was nothing worth thinking about so she slowly take off the lid of the container.*PSSSSH!*

[What is this strange shift of temperature in the atmosphere? Just from opening a container?] Mars thought as his sweat started to drip to his cheeks. [Huh? Sweat? I did not break as sweat with the tension with the young master earlier, how come opening a container made me break as sweat? I am pretty sure there is mana involved.] he thought as he brush of the seat from his face with a handkerchief. His eyes move towards the young master to see his reaction in the moment. [How does the young master take this moment-] his thought instantly put to a halt when he saw his eyes glowing with a red color.

[Is this really a big deal that he had to use his the royal family’s skill?] his sweat starts to break a lot from the shock of seeing the young master going all out from just opening a container.
