Emperor Alexander was restless ever since the news delivered by the butler that his eldest son won't be joining them for meals shouldn't have even paid attention to it, but something in his chest ached at the refusal of eating together.
The Emperor ignored it, focusing back on his meal as he told everyone the same. Once done with their usual brunch, he walked into his study just to find a young boy, no more than fourteen years standing besides his own butler.
"Who's that William?" Emperor Alexander shot the obsidian haired boy a frosty glare, before looking back at his old butler for explanation.
"This is Hamada Fuyuto. The new butler selected for the Crown Prince to serve him, as Mr. Wilson has clearly gotten way too old to serve him anymore." Butler William gently nudged the teenager ahead of him, "I have personally checked all his qualifications, and he was recommended by the royal family of Amaterasu."
"Greetings to the Emperor of the great empire of Medea." Hamada Fuyuto bowed down respectfully. It could clearly be seen that the young boy had been rigorously trained to be the perfect butler. Even though he hadn't really heard from the Amaterasu's royal family about anything concerning in regards to a butler being recommended in their palace, especially for the Crown Prince of Medea, but William wasn't a man to speak with no purpose, so the Emperor decided to rely on his butler's words for now.
"Fine. I'll allow this young one to serve the prince, but William, you must make sure about the Crown Prince Hayes' safety and everything else that comes with changing the butler in-charge for the prince." Alexander stamped the letter of approval with a slight trepidation, "Also, inform the prince of the changes as well. This must be done today itself; I would want no delays in such a trivial matter."
Hamada Fuyuto, the new approved butler smiled at the emperor before walking behind Butler William who was giving him a tour of the whole palace before walking towards the crown prince's palace. While the twins lived in the Imperial Castle with the emperor himself, Crown Prince Hayes lived in Caeles Palace, and the Empress lived in the farthest part of the Imperial Palace itself.
Life was strange for the imperial family and Hamada knew that all too well.
Hamada Fuyuto, a fourteen year old trained assassin was sent to the imperial castle to kill the Medea's Chosen One, and who would be, if not the Crown Prince? He belonged to the family of assassins and pirates that ruled the eastern oceans and seas; killing off a child who was just two years younger to him wouldn't be a tough job.
Though it might sound cruel, but that's all what Hamada had grown up seeing; money talks, and if it said murder, he would gladly do the job. And as for how did he forge the letter from the royal family of Amaterasu that was pretty easy; the butler walking in front of him to give him a tour was the source.
Oh yes, the classic betrayal.
Butler William had betrayed his own master, and probably even his country at this point. As to why the old man would so willingly do it, Hamada questioned it himself. He had asked his mother, the head of the family, why would such a loyal man suddenly turn his back on the master he served for so long?
His mother hadn't answered him in the way he had wanted but told him one thing, '... There will be times when you betray your mind to follow your heart, and if that day comes to you as well, send me the heart of the person that knows your identity and follow what you wish to. I shall not stop you. But do remember, send me the heart.'
