Pier walked through the halls of the palace.

"Where is he?!" He murmured to himself while feeling frustrated.

He could not find Gideon nor could he find Caleb whom he left to tend the unconscious knight.

'God I'm so frustrated right now. I should've come back sooner!' He scolded himself while having so many thoughts running in his head.

What if Gideon was abducted by certain people while he slept? The knight had too many enemies right now and the biggest one was the Marquis Household.

He knew if the Marquis wanted Gideon dead, he would've already done it the moment Pier's disappearance was announced in the palace.

'Who sleeps for two days anyway?!' He clenched his hands and breathed a couple of times deeply.

'And who does some naughty things with a horny vampire prince for an entire day?!' Clicking his tongue, Pier wanted to slap himself and just let out his anger.

He hated himself for being too careless and getting swayed with his emotions.

Gideon should have been his priority and Pier always put that first. He never left the knight for consecutive days without anyone watching over him.

'What if Caleb goes missing too?!'

He knew Martha had been employed by the headmaster for the moment to run errands back and forth since the House of Masters is currently undergoing major renovations including the building of a new mansion.

Basically, there was no one else whom he could ask right now.

"Haah, I swear to god if something bad- ahck!"

Pier fell on his bottom after hitting a seemingly unmoving wall.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Feeling dizzy, the young master rubbed his forehead for a few times with a pained expression on his face.

"Goodness why did I bump into a freaking wall?!" Sighing once more and feeling the pain go away immediately, Pier opened his eyes to stand up.

However, he stopped when he saw a hand stretched out in front of him.

"Pardon, but I am not a wall." The person chuckled and Pier raised his eyebrow at the cackling man.

"Are you going to take my hand or not?" He asked and Pier became even more speechless.

'Who's this?' He asked himself while viewing the person.

The man had crimson red hair and was astoundingly tall. A mischievous look was plastered on his handsome face while watching the white-haired noble sit on the ground.

"Who are you?" Pier blurted out loud making the man produce a full belly laugh.

"Pier!" They both heard another voice coming from the way the young master had been.

Asher came in the scenario along with the knight and he also halted his steps when he saw the two.

Pier was sitting on the ground with a pained expression while the other person was offering his hand.

"Pier, are you okay?!" The prince rushed to his side and aided the young master to stand up.

"I'm good." Pier did not even receive his hand and just stood up on his own. While dusting off the dirt on his bottom, Pier heard the man who had crimson red hair laugh.
