"I see you are awake."

The young boy with pure white locks walks inside with confidence, Shiro knew he wasn't an adult and was just a child like him, but something about him made it hard to ignore him.

The noble boy sat on a wooden stool next to Shiro's bed with no expression.

"Are you feeling any better?"

In Shiro's eyes, he was like a sparkly dark angel, with the expressions of a dead man but an appearance of a pretty angel, almost scary in a way.

"Young master," A tall elderly man in a tight black suit with a monocle resting on his right eye, with brushed-up grey hair entered and a tight strict face.

The elderly butler switches to a different language of The Spade, "It appears all the resources have been delivered in time and are all being delivered to the storage units."

The two began to discuss things Shiro couldn't understand in a different language, to little Shiro, he couldn't help but admire how sparkly the both of them were, they spoke in such a fancy way, and elegance was in their every step and word, it was hard not to look away from them.

The young noble boy noticed Shiro staring and asked in the language of The Clubs, "Is something the matter?"

Young Shiro with a wide sparkly eye speaks nervously in an attempt to speak the language of The Spade, "I.... spark. Pretty."

Young Shiro could understand what they say but was unable to speak the same language as them since this was something his mother raised him to somewhat learn, Shiro's mother always told Shiro that Shiro's father was someone from the Country Of Spade, she learnt a bit of the language of The Spade from him. Shiro's mother tried to teach Shiro how to speak the language of The Spade but it was still rather difficult for Shiro as his main focus was survival.

The young noble looked surprised by Shiro's attempt at the language, although it was incomplete and lacking it was still surprising regardless.

The young noble speaks in the language of The Spade, "Nod your head if you can understand me."

Shiro nodded his head.

The butler looked at Shiro impressed.

The young noble looks back at the butler, "Do the children of this country have access to education?"

The butler shakes his head, "No they do not, their main prime focus here is agriculture and traditions."

Before they could ask anything else some of the other children walked up to the young noble with a rumbling tummy.

"Sebastian inform the cooks to have the children's meals prepared and take them to the dining hall."

"Yes, young master."

But before the young master left he looked back at Shiro who was still filthy and in rags compared to the other children who have already been cleaned up.

"Sebastian don't forget to get one of the maids to get this child cleaned up and fresh clothes before he comes down to the dining hall."

The elderly butler named Sebastian bowed his head and quickly acted upon his new orders.

A young maid in frilly white and black came along and guided Shiro to a small bath with warm water, the nice smell of floral soap sinks into his skin and the dirt finally slipped off revealing his skinny clean self in a warm clean white shirt and black trousers.

Shiro was still confused about what was going on, he was hesitant but decided to go along with everything as he has nothing to lose, especially compared to dying on the streets.
