Someone To Have

20: Abducted

As the rise sun brightly Cale woke up. He woke up early unlike his usual just because he slept earlier than he always do and Violan kissed him a good night kiss on his forehead, he felt warm, he miss his mother that he cried right after Violan closed the door.

He felt refreshed and a bit motivated to do his research about the last rune lesson Alex gave him.

He studied it carefully and deeply, because the rune is complicated and powerful that could kill him for a missed one letter. 

"What should be the best substitute for this letter? What does this mean? How could I read this?" is what he is mumbling while scratching his head. 

It is expected to be hard for him, it was an ancient rune languange and not all words has the current meaning, mostly forgotten.

"How many days has it been? I miss Alex" he whispered

Then suddenly, a figure appeared infront of him, it was huge. And his face got covered by a huge hand that prevented him from shouting, he struggled but he is weak and he panicked, he only scattered papers and overturned his desk and chair. He bit the big hand enough to draw blood and scatter it on the floor, and he got hit on his nape to faint.  Everything is a mess. And a bright light swallowed them.

As the personal butler of the first born son of the Count, everything must be flawless no matter what the ward is. It was Ron's motto as he held his ward for the first time. He felt relief when he got his job to protect himself and his son from those who pursue them dead like they did to his family, but he is suspicious of his employer, Countess Jour Henituse. He is grateful for the protection and everything they needed the most that time, but he always question the Countess' decision, because she let them in to their home without looking at their background and gave them everything and even treated them like family, and she didnt ordered nor requested them any dirty like those corrupt nobles, she did nothing harmful to anybody, just doing her job as the Countess and the wife of her husband and the mother of her son. And he is forever indebted and grateful to her. They experienced to lived like a normal citizen, however every night is their time to polish themselves in the underground arena Jour lent them.

Even though she passed away,Ron will not forget the kindness of the woman who saved them, he will show it by raising her son like his own.

However, his ward is a bit weird, he is independent and mature but still does act like a child everytime he is with them, specially with his son, Beacrox, mostly in the kitchen as they have their cooking session time to time.

Ron could get angry to Deruth but he is professional, but he also felt pained whenever he saw Deruth cry because he lost his wife. He too, lost his wife and family and never had the time to grieve and mourn for them. He once imagined how will he grieve and mourn without neglecting his son. He felt a great hatred towards Deruth everytime he hears and sees his ward cry and even having empty eyes, and more when Deruth misses opportunities to mend their bond as father-son. He belives that Deruth is a shame of all fathers and husbands.

Just the day before, they heard the late apology from Deruth, and how he promised to mend their relationship. And now, he couldnt wait to see how will the Count mend the broken relationship.

After he combed his hair he is ready to serve his young puppy. The west wing as usual is silent, no one has heavy footstep even if they run, they musn't. However he felt iffy of something, so he is wary.

As he is near to his young puppy's room, he suddenly smelled blood. And he ran to the room as he followed the scent. 

"Young master? Are you awake?" no one responded

Feeling panicked he knocked again and silence answered, and again.

It was a protocol, if the knocked isn't answered for 3 times the servants may come in for protection purposes.
