A new life for a new problem

Chapter 2

He only regained consciousness the next morning with Ron knocking on the door.

"Young master are you awake? I didn't want to disturb you, you seemed busy."

He quickly got up before giving Ron permission to enter the office.

"It seems you slept well." He commented noting Cale's messy state, from his clothes to his hair.

"Yes." The answer was quick and a little annoyed. How could he not do it when he had spent the night passed out on the floor?! On top of that he knew very well the symptoms they had had it looked like the anemia attacks he had at the time. What bad luck even here?!

« I still don't feel very well, my head is still spinning...» Before he treated his attacks by sleeping, eating or taking his medication although the latter was more effective, he couldn't do it here.

"Young master you should wash up and then you can have lunch with the rest of the Henituse family"

"Can't I do that first in the office?" He wasn't convinced he could walk without fainting a second time.

"Young master..." Her gaze was stern on her, it was frightening.

He ended up following him, his steps were slow.In addition to his other symptoms, he had pain where he fell yesterday. He must have hurt himself, he unconsciously put a hand on the painful spot before moaning in pain.

«Damn, how am I supposed to explain this now?»

Once he got to his room he sent Ron away so he could get ready on his own.

When he entered the bathroom, he took off his clothes and he could see a bruise on his body.

"Ah great." He quickly took his bath and got dressed alone so as not to arouse Ron's suspicions. Once out he headed to the dining room followed by the butler.

During the meal he ate more than usual to calm his aching head, his family noticed the change but they saw it on the bright side the food seemed to be to his taste for once. Deruth made a note to congratulate the person who had prepared the meal; his son seemed happy to eat. Their gaze did not leave Cale during all this time but he did not seem to notice it. He thought they were simply keeping an eye on their problematic son he could not blame them it was true after all.

Once he was finished, he got up from the table but his movement was too abrupt, he had forgotten the bruise on his body. He groaned in pain as he held his side again, his family who were keeping an eye on him noticed. Count Deruth was already standing ready to come to him to help him but Ron was faster.

"Son are you okay? Hans call a doctor right away!"

Hans was about to run to carry out his lord's order but was stopped by Cale.

"There is no need. Ron just help me back to my room."

He didn't give the count time to say anything he was escorted back to his room by the butler once he arrived Ron opened the door and sat him on his bed.

"Young master do you need anything, a healing potion? Allow this servant to see the wound."

"It's nothing Ron there is no need to worry I just got up too quickly." Which wasn't really a lie after all.

He frowned at what his young master was saying he knew full well that he was lying or at least partly but at the same time he didn't understand why he seemed to be hurt. He didn't go out yesterday and he didn't seem hurt yesterday morning when he woke him up either, he remembered dressing him he hadn't seen anything on his body. Had something happened in the county that he didn't know? Without him knowing he was starting to worry about his charge, he was going to watch him more closely.

He leaves the room to let him rest. A few hours later Cale came out of his room, he had things to do in town. He deliberately ignored the butler who tried to talk to him, thinking that the less he talked to him the less the man might think something was wrong with him. It's not as if he cared to begin with. Contrary to what Cale thought, this worried the old man, who decided to follow him.

With that Cale walked out of the county unaware that his butler was following close behind him. He then took a carriage, to arrive at his destination.

"Young master, is this the right place?" The driver asked cautiously as he opened the door. He then glanced towards the shop in front of him. The driver's face was clearly filled with confusion.
