Chapter 4: Worries

I could not sleep for many days and my wounds did not recover fast either. Then I realized that I had developed insomnia since I left.

There were many things and thoughts I could not convey to Vanessa. She had tried every little trick she had up on her sleeves. Sad for her, she did not find out any important info. I had trust issues.

Last night
"Jester.  We are friends right?"
"Hm.."
"I am leaving tomorrow."
"I see.."
"My butler has came to warn me about something, he said that you are suspicious and your info in the family was erased. Tell me what happened exactly in your house Jester! ,"

"Ok. Sigh.The coconut fell from a tree that i built in the backyard of the house i used to live in back in Quriz Grace, my father died from that exact coconut from that tree.." I say with my blank face. The serious atmosphere disappeared suddenly.

"Ikezu! Tell me the truth!"
Well the part that it was my fault was true.
I laughed, her face was totally priceless to look at.

We went out as Vanessa said that we finally ran out of supplies and we might starve to death. She did not question my choice on dropping by to a sword shop when i wanted to become her 'bodyguard' as there was pursuers trying their best to somehow take her as their own. I suggested to become her bodyguard as her parents left her to her own in this big 'vacation house' .

Vanessa agreed that and trust me to never get hurt. I willingly swear and from that on, she was my great friend.

Vanessa had cousins that envied Vanessa. Her cousins want the wealth and the same fame Vanessa had, she went to school at the nearest neighbourhood so that she can run away from her 'reality' for a while. I laugh, thinking we are almost alike. Almost.

"Vanessa, you have to rest."

My friend here, just thinks that the responsibilities she had to do was of her duty and what is expected of her and i am her therapist. My hands ache from not kicking butts. oh, i almost forgot, i had a duty too.

"You do not have to finish those documents sent from your father. I can use my authority to send them back if you do not feel like doing those..."

"Jester... Thanks but i am raised to become the successor and i have to complete these.." Vanessa's voice sounds so weak she actually sounds like she is going to faint.

Faint?!I turned from the bed to face her office table in her room, her face was flushed and she looked restless, i could sworn that there is a pair of panda eyes waiting for me behind her working spec.

I was not sure what i looked like, Panicky? Distressed? I did not care, i lead her carefully down her bed, rushed down the nearest pharmacy and brought pain killers and medicine to cool her fever down. I prepared a wet towel and place it on her forehead.  I had her eat the medicine and she fell asleep, forgetting about everything when i told her to just rest.

I return to her desk and i knew what she had to submit, all was related to her business, the report needed to be at least a thousand and there was half left, needed someone to fill it in. I knew about the politics, Vanessa gave me some information. Plus, i had the hand-written notes from the young heir so i sent a detailed explaination of the increasing visitors coming for their reasons, by the time i was done, Vanessa was sound asleep and it was already 12pm. I yawned before coming over to Vanessa's queen-sized bed and her fever cooled down.

I put away all of her unneccessary files, i washed and kept her cold-turned-warm towel and i went back to my room to recover my own energy.
