Chapter : 10

I could not wrap my head around yesterday's events, the fact that even our chef, could tell that my butler was dangerous was a bit disturbing. 'If he is indeed a spy or whatever shouldn't he conceal or work behind the scenes, what's his goal?' I thought.

"Jenny," I called. I waited till she arrived at the door of my room and then asked her, "Anything suspicious?" I asked.

She quickly understood what I was asking and answered, "No young master, he is not even bothered by the fact that you have restricted him from going out."

"Hmm, fine call the butler Jenny," I said.

"Understood", she said.

The butler arrived way too quickly and politely made a small bow,

"I heard you called me young lord," he said.

"Can you do something so that what we speak doesn't leak out?" I asked.

He made a strange expression and replied,

"Noted," he said and quickly snapped his fingers.

"It's done young lord," he said.

'Interesting I didn't see him uttering any spells'

"WHO ARE YOU? I DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAME HERE TO PROTECT ME." I asked in a bit stern voice, (although some would say 'so cute' after all I'm only 5 years old LOL)

The man remained calm and looked at me for a few seconds, and then answered,

"Rest assured my lord, I'm not here to hurt you or my family, that is all I can tell for now my lord" he replied.

I don't know if he was lying or not, his face was very neutral and convincing too, in a way.

"Yesterday, at the diner hall why were you watching me?" I asked.

"I cannot answer that my lord",

"Although I do have a question.." he said.

"Yes."

"How do you remain so calm young lord, even asking me to put a sound barrier spell?" he asked.

I got to know what he is going to do and quickly answered, "Everyone has their secrets don't they, Mr. Jon, although I think you are the only one who ever asked me this question, "

"Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Jon, better watch your back, I still don't believe any of your actings," I said and turned around.

"You may leave Jon". I said.

'This guy is dangerous, but he didn't even flinch with my questions, although that too might be an act, he still looks believable.'

'If he is not even scared of my family's authority and asked me this question openly, then he must be someone from outside.'

'Then why did I feel the dangerous feeling at the diner hall, is it... is it the chef. Hmm, I need to confirm this' I thought.

"Jenny" I called.

"You can open Jon's restriction, but don't stop keeping an eye on him, oh and call the chef and tell him to prepare the same dish he did yesterday."

I said.

"Yes, young master" she answered.

I quickly changed into some simple clothes and went to the dinner place.

I quickly chatted for some time and ate the food. It was as delicious as it was, and I thanked him."Thanks for the food uncle Mark" I said.

'He is as normal as he was, and I didn't get the feeling, I got yesterday.'

I went upstairs and wrote down this incident in my diary.

'Hmm, was there anyone else, during that time, che I guess I should personally enquire everyone in this mansion.' I thought.

I went and enquired about every single one of them in the mansion and found nothing.

'I respect the policemen back in my earth, they sure must have had it tough.' I thought.

I wrote this down in my diary and went towards my mother's room.

She played with me for some time and she told me some fantasy stories ( such as irony..) and then I fell asleep.

Little did I know that this small incident caused someone's interest in me that could potentially be life-threatening.

SCENE CHANGE..-

In some place far away from the Ishtart mansion,

the man who wore a beak-like mask sat on a small rock and took out what seemed like a cigar.

It was around midnight and only the flame of the cigar could be seen, suddenly the mist around him thickened.

"You have never called me this fast, anyway I was about to call you too; what's the matter?" the man asked.

"I may have found something interesting," the voice said.

"Oh what might that be?" the man asked.

"It's the child, Zenith's child." the voice said.

"Roel or Ian specify properly and what about them?" the man asked a bit irritated.

"It's neither, I'm talking about the youngest," the voice said.

"What, what about him?" the man asked.

"That brat questioned every member of the mansion today, from the head maid to the cleaner, he is suspecting something," the voice said.

"How old is that kid, 5 or 6 right, have you gone mad, don't spout nonsense" the man shouted in anger.

"No, I'm sure it, that kid is far too mature for his age, I heard he went through 2 assassination attempts, one happened just a few months ago, but that kid.. he looks as though this is normal to him," the voice said.

"Huu, report me if something too serious happens, and by the way, I know where Alpha is," the man said.

"Where is he, is he safe?" the voice asked.

"He was safe, he got caught by one of the upper holy knights, even though he managed to kill the knight, he got too injured and the other holy knights seemed to be coming his way."

"Wait you are going to save him?" the voice asked.

"Yes, he has the ember seed after all" the man said.

"Wait are you telling me that he completed the objective," the voice asked.

"Yes, and it is going to be a long bloody night," the man said as he threw his cigar, and disappeared from the place.
