Preparation - 05

"YOUNG MASTERRRRRR!!!!" Pavel's booming voice echoed in the empty room, nearly rattling the windowpanes. He let out a long sigh, his expression a mixture of frustration and bewilderment. "Where are you actually right now?!" he shouted again, though knowing there would be no answer.

He massaged his temples, then stared at the pile of pillows on the bed with a meaningful expression. "Hah… you mischievous child," he muttered. "It seems I'll have to wait for your return alone tonight."

Pavel decided to wait for Lucian's return in his room. Initially, he only intended to wait for an hour, just to make sure his young master returned safely. However, an hour passed without any sign of Lucian's presence. He sat in a chair, occasionally glancing at the pocket watch in his pocket.

Two hours. Three hours. Still no sign of the young master, and Pavel grew anxious.

"Young Master… where are you?!" he muttered to himself.
