MOIRAI (Man*Man)

Chapter 38

*

Elmer knew that this would happen when he gets back to the castle and that is exactly why he didn't want to leave when it was time to say goodbye to Bert in the morning. Even after what was happening now, Elmer regrets nothing and if possible he would do it again and again. Elmer hasn't been sad or mad after that time with Bert, all he does is smile through everything that he does because it was all worthy, time with Bert is worthy. He would want to see Bert again because he misses him a lot yet it has just been one hour since they separated, Elmer didn't want that to happen, he wanted to stay with Bert for a few more hours.

Elmer closed his nose again as he got ready to clean the toilets again, he has always hated this job but with Bert's thoughts in his head Elmer doesn't care about this job. It helps him get away from his kitchen duty and away from Oda and Logan, anything that could get him away from those two always seemed nice. Elmer cleaned the last toilet with a smile remembering Bert and he can't wait to see him again, Bert said he will be back in three hours after training and Elmer can't wait for him to get back, he wants to be done by the time Bert arrives.

Elmer was done in a few minutes and after taking his tools back in their storage, he made his way to his room but before he could reach his room he stopped when he found almost every servant standing in front of his room all staring inside, this made Elmer stop walking a bad feeling downing in his heart. This looked bad, no one has ever tried getting near his room, they take him as a thief and they all never get to his room this made Elmer wonder what happened and why they are all at his room.

He knew he didn't steal anything because he isn't a thief but why would they all be at his room. Elmer was still asking himself in his head when one of the servants spotted him pointing his way capturing everyone's attention. Elmer has gotten used to the disgusted looks but these are not those looks, these are 'We want to kill you looks' Elmer took an unconscious step back when Logan walked out of his room "Why did you take it?" Logan asked anger and sadness in his voice while holding up a wooden board with a face engraved in it.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Elmer didn't know what Logan was talking about, hell he didn't know why they were all at his room.

"You stole the last thing my dead mother gave me" Logan was not having any of it, he cried for the entire night when he couldn't find his mother's board, the only thing that he holds and feels close to his mother, Logan loves the board so much that he felt like he would die if he didn't find it.

"I didn't steal anything" Elmer wasn't even around to be able to steal Logan's 'Whatever he was talking about' Logan was already angry that Elmer would dare steal his board that when he denied it Logan felt like he was going to burst. Logan punched Elmer straight on the jaw so hard Elmer fell down landing on his wrist. Logan kicked him again with a yell in anger "Stay away from my room and my staff" Logan spat jumping over Elmer walking away while wiping his eyes holding the board on his chest.

"I knew he will rob us all"

"He will never change, he deserves death"

"Only if the prince saw who he really is, he doesn't deserve to be here"

Elmer heard all of them as they walked away giving him looks that showed utter hatred towards him and all because of things he didn't do. He doesn't know how Logan's board got into his bedroom or who put it there, why someone is making it their job to flame him. The worst part is Elmer knowing that no one is ever going to believe in what he says, no matter how much he tried to defend himself he always comes out as the thief, the criminal who steals everything and this is the worst feeling Elmer could ever feel. The feeling of everyone taking him as something he wasn't made him feel worthless.
