Chapter : 8

It's already mid-spring season and the mana awakening day is a month away.

It's been a month since Lancelot arrived here. After that, they visited us a few more times quite frequently.

In the meantime today according to my father I will be learning the footwork.

He brought me 2 small bracelet-like things for my ankles.

"Kid these are weight straps, they contain around 1kg weight of each. Wear them and from now on any movement, you do from training and even bathing you must wear this. Until I tell you must not remove them." he said and tossed me the weights. Although 1kg looked like less it was still more for a young kid.

The momentum I wore them, and the weight experienced were very annoying.

"And today we will be receiving a new butler. His name is Jon, he is going to be your butler from today." my father said.

I quickly finished the rest of my exercise and went to see who the new butler was.

As I went towards my father's room, my father noticed me and called me in.

"Kid meet your new butler. His name is Jon, Jon Raquiss; Raquiss meet my youngest son Roy."

"Pleased to meet you, young lord," he said in a non-interested way.

He had deep black eyes and black hair, he looked as though he was made to be an assassin.

He wore a grey suit with a white tie.

He looked quite young, around the same age as Jenny. The most notable thing that must be observed is his stealth. His feet never made even an ounce of sound. This guy is not any ordinary butler. 'Why is such a talented guy here, for my protection, I don't think so, I have Jenny. '

I needed to write this incident down in my diary, I feel like I would need its help in the future.

I don't know why but I feel strange vibes from him.

When I saw that my father and the butler were discussing something I quickly went towards the dining place. I saw my maid reading a book.

She noticed my gaze and quickly stood up " How may I help you, young master?" she asked.

I felt embarrassed to disturb her, " Jenny I need you to keep an eye on the new butler, and report to me everything he does, starting from today." I said to her. Although I never gave her any kind of command, this was my first time and I felt like I had to follow my gut.

I quickly went upstairs and wrote down everything I know in the diary. Little did I know that this puny action of mine was the beginning of opening one of the biggest scandals in our family.

SCENE CHANGE..-

It was already half past noon and in the head of the Ishtart family's room, there were 3 people.

The head, Zenith; the maid Jenny and the butler Jon.

"My lord, young master seems to be wary of Jon. Should we tell him about Jon's truth and his reason for arriving here?" Jenny asked.

"No Jenny, we cannot tell anyone about Jon's true identity, not until we discover the traitor. Hmm even though I knew about his matureness I did not think that he would notice that your foot never made any sound." he first spoke to Jenny and then spoke to Jon.

"Yes, my lord although you did tell me he was a strange kid I didn't expect him to be wary of me," Jon said.

"My lord another piece of information, young master seems to be writing a diary but he.....he writes it in an unknown language. "

"I don't know how, but only he seems to know that language, it is as though he doesn't want us to let us know about the content he has written in his diary," Jenny said.

"He seems to be hiding something, my lord, the fact that he displayed extreme calmness during the whole attack 5 months back proves it," Jon said.

" He must have his reasons he will us tell when the time is right. For now, let us focus on the traitor.

Jon the fact that the traitor leaked information from Lancelot and even entered our territory are you sure about that piece of information? "

" Yes my lord, although I have been sent here by master Lancelot to assist you, he has sent others to different locations. That traitor seems to know something very important about even the empire, my lord. But we are not able to identify him, when he was in the empire he was called Xen. No surname and without any background. He was very much blended perfectly into society and it never made us doubt him. He was able to live a fake life in the empire for almost 6-7 years. He is not only strong but also a very excellent disguiser.

If that piece of information ever reaches the wrong hands there might be a war bigger than the 2nd war of the underworld." Jin said.
