MATTHEW POV

Joven and this kid are walking down a path from the house and i call out to them

the kid, he has dark skin but littered with spots of white hes adorable though

Joven looks like hes seen a gost

i bent down to the kids level, he must only be like 5-7, and i siad "its okay everything gonna be okay"

"M-Matthew-" Joven scrambled for words

"please dont tell anyone they will have me killed please-"

"its okay I won't tell anyone Joven and stand up comon we are going back to the castle" 

"but Maddie needs to stay somwhere-"

i sighed 

im so going to regret this the king will have my head but fuck it

"the child can stay in my dorm Joven-"

"oh my gods thank you Matthew!"

"i swear if you sneak out again though-"

"i-i wont i promise thank you!"

without any warning Joven just- hugged me. it felt good he was happy it felt nice to make him happy...

i smiled slightly 

"whats the kids name?"

"im Maddie pleased to meet ya!" the kid stuck out their hand with a grin and i matched it.

Okay ik what your thinking, 

"you told Joven that you wernt gonna tell!"

 and your right i said that stupidly but if i dont tell Darrow and he finds out then im for sure dead along with Joven this was the best option okay?

I walked up to Darrow and bowed

"my lord"

he turned with a confused look

"i have to talk to you about an important matter"

my heart was in my throat i was so scared for this kid. gods i hope this turns out well.

"y-yesterday i caught the new blue escaping the castle during night hours-"

he raised an eyebrow "you made sure to punish him?" he asked

i bowed again go please let him not be mad

"no my lord, the new blue-" i hesitated and stared at my shoes

"he was escaping to rescue a child from an abusive home he told me that-"

please please please let the kid be okay after this

"that he adopted the child before he started working here." i was still bowing my eyes glued to the floor Darrow didint say anything

"the child, hes staying with?"

"me my lord"

"how old is he?"

"hes only 6 my lord"
