The next morning
Kaito opened his eyes, noticing the tear marks on his face. "Looks like I cried while sleeping," he thought. He turned and saw a woman beside him. Blinking a few times, he gently touched her cheek to check if it was real.
Surprised, Kaito thought, "Why is Sam's mom here? Did I walk into the wrong room?" This could turn into a big issue. I better leave quietly, but if people find out, that could be a problem too.
Kaito tried waking her gently. "Mom... wake up. Why are you here? Missing your son already?" he whispered.
She groaned, waking up slowly, eyes focusing on Kaito. "Oh, Kaito? Why are wake up so early?" she asked, still sleepy.
Kaito paused, unsure how to explain without causing confusion. " but why are you here ?"
" It can cause problem if someone know " .
She said, "I just wanted to sleep next to someone. When I was a hostage, I felt so lonely."
Kaito was unsure. "But, I'm also a man. If we sleep together, people might think something wrong. Maybe you could sleep with my friend in the big bed in the other room."
She laughed lightly . "What do you mean by 'something wrong'?"
Kaito blushed. "I mean, people might misunderstand us," he said awkwardly.
She smiled gently. "Kaito, it's okay. I trust you. Sometimes, having someone close just feels comforting."
He relaxed a bit. "Alright, if you're okay with it, it's fine with me too."
Kaito lay back on his pillow, trying to change the subject. "How long were you a hostage?" he asked softly.
She looked at the ceiling, thinking back. "Too long. It felt like forever. But every day, I hoped to be free, and now I am."
They talked quietly for a while, sharing little stories and making a bit of a friendship. other. "Thank you, Kaito, for being a good friend," she said kindly.
"Anytime," Kaito replied, feeling glad everything was okay. They got up, ready to start the new day,
Bang! Liora burst through the door. "Kaito... where were you last night? I missed you!" she exclaimed.
She paused, noticing the woman next to him. "Why are you sleeping with this older woman? Do you like bigger women? I'm big too, you know," Liora said, pouting a bit while hugging Kaito tightly.
Kaito was taken aback, trying to calm the situation. "Liora, it's not what you think. She's just a my mom friend , and she needed some company last night," he explained gently.
The woman smiled reassuringly at Liora. "Hello. I'm naoko his friend mother , and I needed someone to feel safe with. There's nothing more to it," she clarified.
Liora looked from Kaito to the woman and back again, slowly nodding in understanding. "Okay, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions," she said, smiling shyly.
Kaito laughed softly, patting Liora on the back. "No worries, Liora. It's nice to know you care," he said.
"Let's have breakfast," kaito suggested. "Come with us, Naoko. It's been a long time since you had breakfast with family. Think of us as your family."
Naoko blushed a little when Kaito called her by her first name. Liora, excited and cheerful, gently pulled Naoko by the hand. "Let's go! Alissa is making pancakes today."
They headed to dinner hall , where the aroma of fresh coffee and sweet pancakes filled the air. Alissa, Kaito's personal maid, was busy at the stove. She greeted them with a warm smile, flipping pancakes with skill and grace.
"Good morning!" Alissa said cheerfully. "I hope you're all hungry."
Naoko sat down at the kitchen table with Liora and Kaito. The breakfast spread was beautiful, with fluffy pancakes, syrup, fresh fruit, and a pot of steaming coffee.
As they started eating, . Alissa's pancakes were light and delicious. "These are amazing, Alissa. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast."
"You're welcome! It's my pleasure," Alissa replied with a smile. "I'm glad you're enjoying it."
Liora nodded enthusiastically. "We should have breakfast together more often. We're like a little family here."
Kaito agreed, looking pleased. "Yeah, let's do this again soon."

A week later
At night, while Kaito was reading his book, Sam suddenly appeared on the balcony. "Hello, young lord. You look as bright as ever. Did something good happen while I was away? Don't you miss me ? "
Just then, the door opened, revealing Sam's mother, dressed in a sexy nightgown. "Young lord, I brought you the coffee Alissa asked me to deliver," she said warmly. Noticing Sam, she shock , "Whoa... Sam... when did you get back? I've missed you!"
"Hello, Mother! How's it going? When did you get here?" Sam asked.
I'm good," replied Mrs. Naoko with a smile. "Kaito has been taking care of me like his own mother, and yes, we've even shared some late-night talks and sleep together "
Sam looked at Kaito with a sharp gaze. "Oh, really? Mother, did I hear that right? You've been having late-night conversations with him?"
Kaito felt the pressure of Sam's piercing look.
"I've got something to do," he said as he moved towards the balcony. "You two enjoy your reunion first "
Once alone with his mother, Sam took a deep breath. "I've missed so much. Everyone seems so okay now."
. "Yes, the community here has become closer, all thanks to Kaito and his efforts to bring everyone together."
"He's always been a good friend," Sam agreed. "But sometimes it seems like he's been keeping secrets, especially about you."
Mrs. Naoko laugh . "Oh, don't worry. Kaito just enjoys our late-night conversations about books and life."
Sam seem know that his mother lied and look like she start seeing kaito as a man .
"Just go to sleep now mom and now i will protect and handle you " .
Once she was settled, Sam headed out to the balcony where Kaito stood gazing at the stars.
"Hey, Kaito," Sam began, a hint of suspicion in his voice. "Who are you really? You're not the Kaito I remember. The Kaito I knew was, honestly, a bit of a mess, doing anything for Sylvian without thinking twice."
Kaito turned to face Sam, sincerity in his eyes. "It's still me, bro," he replied calmly. "But the soul is different now. I remember how he used to be—playing with hearts and driven by selfish desires. But trust me, the me standing before you now isn't like that anymore. I'm focused on saving this world and improving this estate for everyone."
Sam let Kaito's words sink in, seeing the honesty in his friend's eyes. "So, you're saying you've changed, huh? From playing around to becoming this... protector?"
"Exactly. I have the memories of the old Kaito, but I've been given a second chance with a better vision. I know this sounds outlandish, but every day I strive to do better—to be better."
Sam nodded, his skepticism slowly turning into curiosity and maybe even a touch of awe. "If what you're saying is true, then maybe it's for the best. This world needs more people like the Kaito you aim to be."
"Alright, let's see what you've got," Sam finally said with a challenging grin, extending his hand towards Kaito.
With a firm handshake, Kaito nodded. "Deal, together we'll make this place better."
