1158 Words
"I'm so tired from the ball" We just got back from the ball, I'm now in my chamber ,resting. I did not expect that I am now ,one of friends with a crown prince, completely shocking right?
Before I go to sleep I recall all what happen today ,and after awhile I fell asleep.
The next morning
I told miss anna to prepare a carriage for to go to the capital city to find another place , I said my permission and say goodbye to my family to let them know and not to be worried like from what I have done the last time.
We're here now in the capital city , this city never make a day and night peace, it's always noisy and loud , still many people tend to visit capital city, even its dangerous.
As I walk further to explore more , little did I not know is that I lost miss anna in my way , I tried to find her but I couldn't find her "where could she be gone?" I asked myself confusedly.
After walking for 3 minutes ,I accidentally bumped to this young mercenary boy , he tries to attack me, I don't know why? But then luckily miss anna and mr. Johnson arrive as soon as it was happen and was able to block it for me, "Oh ,they're here! I guess they were looking for me too! "
I look at the boy in front of miss anna and mr. Johnson . "Hold there young man , what are you trying to do?" Mr. Johnson asked, the young boy still trying to attack us by using a small knife, but Mr. Johnson is an expert defensive man ,so he can easily get away with it.
The knife fell down and miss anna told me to stay still at her side but I told that I want to speak to the young boy ,but they refused I know the reason why they refused , it is because of my own safety.
I ask the boy why he attack me , but he didn't answer . She try to touches his hand but he quickly get away his hands . As I thought, this young man doesn't want to be touch and to communicate either.
"Erm...I'm sorry for touching you".
"Get lost!" He look at me angrily
"Hey watch your mouth young man!" Mr. Johnson warn.
"Don't talk like that young man" miss anna said after Mr. Johnson.
"Calm down...let me talk to him"
"But,Lady Chrysanthe..."they both said unison.
"Calm down...we're not bad nobles like the other nobles who uses Commoners or mercenary as a slave or what...Can I ak you why did you attack me?" She waited for the boy will replied.
"O-our master let us make this task or for more understandable he assign us..."
"Oh who is your masters names?" I ask.
"I-I can't tell you" I can feel and sense that he's shivering.
"A-are you okay?"Chrysanthe ask.
"Y-yyes" I think he is scared right now.
"Dont be scared " the young boy look up to chrysanthe.
"You didn't have to be afraid of us because, WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE!" she touches her chest confidently.
The young boy mercenary smiled. "You look so pretty when you smile " Chrysanthe smiled. The boy blush hard because it's his first time to hear that.
Chrysanthe ask the boy again who is their master , but the boy refuse to tell. Chrysanthe promised that she will help him if he's in trouble or anything .
"I-I cant tell you" he stuttered .
"If I-I told you I will be in such a great trouble and even today failing to stab y-yy"
"you?" Chrysanthe continue the sentencethat he couldn't continue.
"It's okay we'll protect you!"
"Yes that's right !" The coachman and her maid both said.
And so, the boy tells.
"My master is wholly"
"Wholly?" Chrysanthe ask confusedly.
"Last name dear?" Mr. Johnson ask him.
"Stedman"
Mr. Johnson expression became dark.
"I-i I'm for trying to assinate you" "I'm gratefully sorry !" He shouted apologetically and bowed at the same time. I accept his forgiveness. Then, after moment of silence I told him to spend time with her for a moment or whether to get help to find a place for her business. "Y-you're finding a place?"he stuttered and confused.
" Yes , I am, can you help me?"
"Yes, yes ,sure!" He agree happily ,and so the maid and the coachman .
After 3 hours of finding an interest , they still could've find even one.
"Aww I guess today we cannot find one today too!" Lady chrysanthe sigh.
"Uu-uh miss-s ,young lady?" The boy spoke.
"Yes?"
"Since we cannot find a place for your business ,how about I reccomend or reconsider a place for you?"
"A place?"
"Uu-uh yes , please come with me"
After 13 minutes of walking they are now at the woods
"Um young man? Why are we in the woods?" Mr. Johnson ask.
"To help you?..." he look at Mr. Johnson.
"This is the house or place you can say for your um..."
But this house is so small yet dirty, abandon and.." my maid spoke. I notice the boy got more sadder, his expression is somewhat... What could it be ? Is there any reason behind it and why he is bringing us here?
"T-this house is where I and my sick mother live." He stuttered
"When my mother die , a big man found me in the woods ,while I'm hunting a food to it and I thought at that time that he's going to bring me somewhere and take care of me instead it bringing me off to the..." his words got fainter and fainter.
"Oh my poor boy" my coachman spoke.
"I'm sorry for telling those words in front of you" anna ask for apology.
"It's okay young man , can you give us a tour, take us to look around ?" Chrysanthe said.
And so the young man tells them and guide them.
Lady chrysanthe and her maid and coachman got amazed at the inside of the house ,the interior design is so nice and comfy but different since its abundant .
"I love this place!" Lady chrysanthe said in amusement voice and show her hands like they are going to hug the whole house. The coachman and the maid agree also.
"T-thank you" the young man spoke
"Okay young man I'm going to take this place how much?"
"I-I.. " it seems he doesn't like to talk and take a money from us..
"It's okay we will give you a money for your living "
"What's your name your name young man ?"
" Alexander, sir."
"Oh what a nice name" Alexander blush.
After talking in few minutes they make an agreement and say goodbye to the young man, and promise that they will meet again .
