Happiness and pain

A lonely child

Cale Henituse had the perfect life .

He was a bright and brilliant child born with a silver spoon in his mouth and to extremely loving and caring parents. He was the only child of the wealthiest noble house in the roan kingdom , the Henituse County.

He had a beautiful -
he was the spitting image of her!
- kind , caring and loving mother who shined like a bright star.

Jour Henituse was a quirky and compassionate woman who was loved and appreciated by the servants , visitors and residents of the territory alike.

Cale had lost count of the number of people she had helped since he first saw her taking in an orange haired kid and giving him a servant position even though she ordered the staff to never give any of the kids any actual work .
That was just an excuse .

Sometimes there were people who were different ? weird? Suspicious? Cale really didn't know how to describe them but his father always said that they didn't have identifications or documents of any kind so they were not allowed inside their territory as they could be dangerous but his mother always scolded father for that and told him to atleast investigate or just listen to them once , who knew their circumstances ? The count or guards certainly didn't.

But those were details, cale's point, was that she gave them a chance , not just letting them in because that would not be smart but atleast listen to them and if possible, help them.

Cale was surprised to find out his own butler was one of them ! He didn't know the details though, mom didn't tell him .

But it was fine ! he had the BEST butler ever ! And it was all thanks to mom!

He wanted to be just like her when he grew up , mom already said he would be a handsome young man just like his uncle!

Whoever he is.....

His dad was ordinary.....
But that was only because mom was too brilliant for him !

No!

That's not what he meant! He did deserve her!

Really!!!!

Anyways, he had a great father too .
He was a good count , who cared more for his own family and people than politics.

Which, was good for his father because the subject gave cale headaches and he was still learning just the basics! His dad loved his mom and him. He always made time to play with him and spent time with them. They were a happy small family .

The servants and people were all very nice too . He was loved and adored but everyone in the estate and they even gave him sweets sometimes! He was happy. His life was perfect. The world was a beautiful place.

Until it wasn't, and everything fell apart.

Now , curled up in his bed and clutching his pillow like his life depended on it ,he needed something to hold onto, or he would slip , he knew it , he was desperate for an anchor , the eight old child wondered where it all went wrong.

When his perfect world shattered he knew when , he didn't want to acknowledge it , wanted to think it was all just a nightmare, his mother never left only to comeback lifeless.

He remembered begging her not to go that village , he had a bad feeling. He didn't want to let her go but she went anyways, said it was important.

He remembered waiting, restless, looking out the window at the brewing storm . He had an ominous feeling, something was wrong , he prayed to god she would come back soon .
