Idiot.

" C-. . .cold..." Faith hollered as she hugged Ethan's back tighter and tighter to feel more of his warmth.

" Because it's snowing." Ethan answered to her complaint.

"?. . . Who. . .?" She opened one of her eyes to take a peek and saw the thick golden-like hair of Ethan smoothly fluttering with the cold winter wind, his eyes locked at her's.

" Your father" Said Ethan, jesting.

"! . . .?. . . Haha" she laughed faintly before fainting, leaning her head to Ethan's not so broad shoulders.

" Clyde, come out." Ethan ordered and Clyde came out of his dim shadow, standing beside him, Clyde bowed and asked:

" Would you like me to carry her instead?"

" No. I forgot the way back, show me the way." Said Ethan in an ordering manner, as if he's asking a dog to find him something with the use of its nose.

' Am I perhaps . . . a dog. . .rather than a shadow?!'

" What are you standing idly there for? She's heavy and my body's weaker than is."

'. . . Oh right. . . Now that I have think about it, Although he acts and speak high and mighty, he's as fragile as a thin glass frame. . .' Clyde thought as he lead the way to their base.

. . .

And just like that, without speaking to each other, suffering from their heavy silence, they reached their destination without stopping.

. . .

Ethan went in to the gate of their base after a guard in full black open up the gates, was greeted with tons and tons of scarful men guards and unordinary looking women maids. " Welome young master" all bowed their head down to their waist as their eyes watch Ethan's feet walk into the door before lifting them up again and stand on guard or do their works again.

Clyde went ahead of him to open the door, Ethan went right in and walked towards the long sofa opposite to where Lloyd is laying on lazily , Ethan laid her gently there and grabbed his left shoulder, complaining about how numb it is in his mind.

Lynn, after hearing about his arrival, goes straight to him as fast as light and nagged.

" Young master, please! We have dicussed about this already! Please do not pick up any trash on your way back!"

Ethan didn't even bother to take a glance at her and just continue wiping off the dirt on Faith's face. Lynn moved a little closer to Ethan and saw the giant bruise on his cheek which almost cover up half of his face.

" Young Master! What happed to your face?! "

" I got into a friendly fight" Ethan glanced at Lloyd and Lloyd almost rolled his eyes from disgust. 'Haha, good reaction you have there, my dear friend' Ethan mocked, and Lloyd who heard his thoughts stood up after clenching a fist and clicking a tongue, planning on balancing Ethan's face by punching his left cheek too. Of course, Lynn stopped them before anything and said:

" Lloyd O'Malley! To the punishment room n-"

" RHEALYNN. You mustn't forget, you are not my mother and you. will. never. be. one" Ethan cut her words with such harsh words coated in coldness, glaring at her eyes, as if ordering ' Don't you dare decide for me.' . She gulped and let go of Lloyd, slightly trembling as she stand quietly.

' No, No! How would the young master know?! He must've just guessed. . . But he's. . .a genius after all. . . ' Lynn pondered the truth and realization.

" Bath her. Give her clothes. Give her food. Give her whatever she wished "

And that was how Ethan made his first command to Rhealynn(Lynn).

" Pardon? I thought you liked her a lot, for you to come personally and get her. . . But you're just pushing her to me, are you not afraid I might do something unimaginable to her for revenge? We just made an argument."

Ethan who stopped walking away, looked over his shoulder and set his eyes on hers, " I dare you to try" he went to the stair downwards after he smiled on her.

" Don't think of doing something funny, the last time I saw that smile. . . my room was beyond restoration that I had no choice but to move out" Lloyd warned before muttering furiously as he walk away in rage towards his assigned room. His room wasn't destroyed, it was simply taken care of.

Of course Lynn isn't stupid enough to ignore two threatening warnings from her crush's son and only disciple.

On the other hand, Ethan watch as his father destroy all the pillow in the cell he's locked in, shouting all his might, as though hes suffering from an excruciating pain all over his body.

" Idiot" Ethan said, shaking his head in dismay. He opened the titanium door of the cell and entered, currently standing in front of his father who seems to not recognize his own son. Harold was about to hit him when. . .

" If only it's possible to sell you and just buy another father" Ethan said and Harold's shoulders along with his kness fell from the emotion of hearing those words. The excruciating pain he felt seconds ago can't even be compared to now, like thousands of arrows covered in acids are all penetrating him, arrows meant to hurt only and not to kill him.

" I didn't mean that. Are you crying? Don't look down, let me see your face" Ethan lift Harold's face and saw his father's dazed expression, eyes without focus and biting lip in anger to himself. " Idiot. Did you believe me? Surely it's just a jest" he comforted(?).

"No. I didn't come here to mock him. . ." Ethan muttered, feeling regret and (sadistically)satisfied at the same time. " I need your warmth. This may sound. . .uh. . .well, I'm freezing right now, can I at least use you as a teddy bear?" Ethan asked. Then he suddenly felt embarrassed. " No. . . What am I even asking to a person under influence of a strong drug that can make one person deranged? What were they thinking though, drugging a derange person a deranging drug? " Ethan face-palmed and lays on the bed nearby, Harold followed him and now theyre back-to-back to each other, sharing their warmth to each other on a winter weather.

' . . . This feels nice. . . Am I this hungry for a father's attention? Even so, it's his fault for sacrificing for nothing'

. . .

Harold woke up, startled to see Lynn staring at him. " What are you staring at?" He asked then tried to sit up. " Urgh! Tsk! My head!" He complained as he touch his head, groaning.

" Boss, you might wanna see this!" Lynn showed him a picture of him hugging Ethan in his sleep.

" WHAT THE FUCK!?" Harold shouted

" Boss." Lynn signaled him to queit down by putting her point finger over her lips, fidgeting.

Harold looked even more surprised, he turn towards an arising figure behind, the blanket fell and revealed Ethan who yawned, hair with stubborn bed hair. Both had their eyes and mouth open wide. Lynn secretly took a photo.

" . . . What? Don't look at me like I'm a ghost, it's both of your fault for being noisy so early in the morning" Ethan ruffled his hair and went out, leaving the two in trance.

As soon as Ethan went to Faith's room, a rather shocking scene welcomed him. He dragged Lloyd out of Faith's room and threw him to the floor (of course, considering Lloyd's strength and Ethan's, it's impossible unless Lloyd gave in). A knife is pointing at Lloyd's neck, threatening his life.

" I dare you to lay your hand on her again and you're. . . I

leave that to you're perverted imagination!" Ethan threatened.
