Live To Survive

Chapter 2

*3rd POV*

Albert James Moriarty, the future heir of the Moriarty Family. This young child have different views of the world seeing it...

UNFAIR

He always saw how nobles treat peasants awfully. How much his father forced him that being a perfect noble to care his family's wealth. How much his mother never tried to understand how he feel and how she continued to boost that she have a wonderful child. And his brother, who acts the same ways as his parents. He felt dirty to have the same blood running through his veins.

"Master Albert, are you alright?", a young voice from his maid cleared his dark thoughts away.

You look at him with worry. The way your eyes reflects the emotion of your heart.

You are there for him ever since you were a child. His bestfriend...

"Yes, I'm alright.", Albert gave a reassuring smile.

"Thank goodness. You have nothing to worry since I am here. Let me take good care of you while you rest. You deserve it for working hard."

Albert and (2nd/name), in the eyes of other, they were just a master and servant. But to them, their friendship grows instead. He remember a young child came to the manor. She was so young and doesn't know anything. But that doesn't stop him for knowing her.

"Your cheeks... Why are they dirty?", Albert moved his left hand touching her face and rubs softy to her cheek.

(2nd/name) tried to look away, thinking for some ways to persuade him into something else but how can she lie when there is a pop out scene right above Albert's head.

// Relationship: Best Friend and Master
Don't break his trust by lying.//

'Do I really have to say it to him?!', her inner self is in conflict.

'I know a lot of this situation by watching some dramas in anime but it doesn't end well because they tried to stay in place where they belong like being bullied or "this is just fine". Those kind of things! But...', she then looked deeper to his emerald green eyes.

'Albert really cares about this girl. I don't want to destroy this beautiful relationship between these two.'

"Master Albert--"

"What happened by calling me "Berty"? You used to call me that since you were a child.", he tilted his head curiously.

'B-B-B-Berty?!?!', her inner self screamed.

"Umm... Master Albert, that was when we were young. Please, we have to maintain our relationship as a Master and Servant in public.", she sweatdropped when she saw him nodding his head a bit.

"But no one is here except the two of us.", he gives her a close-eyed smile.

'He's not backing down, is he?', her inner self sweatdrops.

She sighed in defeat because knowing Albert-- no--- not only him in the near future but with the rest of the crew will not give up easily.

"Bert... Is that okay?", she gave her answer then Albert begins glowing like a sun.

'These anime effects... I need a sunglasses... At least, its better to call him Bert than Berty that almost rhymes with Birdy.'

"Then shall we go back to the previous topic, (2nd/nickname)?"
