Crimson Blood [DISCONTINUED]

Father

CHAPTER 6

"Did you hear that the son of the Count didn't even shed a single tear when his mother was being buried?"

"What a monster"

"I know right"

Countless whispers can be heard inside and out of the Henituse manor as the people started to gossip about the son of the Count.

Its been a week since the Countess died. The first few days, the manor is silent and gloomy but after that they went back to usual as if no one has died.

And Cale.

Cale, he-
he looks exactly the same, his face was still stoic as ever but in his eyes, you can see how dead he is. And to make it worst, he started to locked himself up just like the Count who drowned himself into the paperworks.

The only one who can talk to the young master right now was none other than Ron, the head butler.

And that same butler right now was standing in front of the bedroom where his puppy young master currently is.

Creakk

He opened the door just to get welcomed by the dark surroundings. Its gloomy. Its cold. And in the corner of his eyes, he saw how the blanket squirmed. 'Its probably the young master'he thought.

"Young master" he said making the latter flinch underneath the blanket. "Young master please wake up" he said again after receiving a silent response.

"Ron"

"Yes, Young master?"

"Please prepare the bath" Cale said as he started to get up from his bed. And he then frowned his face when he saw what is the assassin is holding right now.

It was lemonade.

"Ron that's-"

"Young master please drink this tea" Ron cutoff when the young master is about to say something about his lemonade.

Cale, who's afraid of the assassin, quickly took the tea then smelled it. Its sour. It makes him frowned even more.

"Ron is there any sugar-"

"Unfortunately, no young master, as we just run out of sugar" he said while smiling benignly.

'Run out of sugar my ass' Cale thought while averting his eyes away from the assassin.

"How about honey?"

"We just run out of honey as well young master" he said again as his smile grew bigger.

'Shit' Cale cursed in his mind.

He then drink the tea in just one sips while trying to not to show how much he dislikes it. But unfortunately, the butler saw this.

Shiver

He then averted his eyes away from the butler who looked at his puppy young master in amusement.

Before he came to the bedroom of Cale, he heard a lot of gossips about Cale from the maids, saying that he has no heart because he didn't cried when the countess had died.

But Ron saw it. He saw how his puppy young master trembled trying to stop himself from crying as no one has tried to comfort him, even his own father. He just lost his mother and as a kid, he must be expecting his father to console him.

But what happened is the other way round.

Because instead of getting consoled, he was the one who is consoling his father from the death of his mother. That's not all, after the Countess was buried the Count started to drown himself in works ignoring his child who needed to get consoled.

Sometimes when the Count saw Cale in the distance, he would always flinch and go to a different direction.

And the Counts behavior angered Ron.

Because he was a father as well.
