Master and his butler Mr.

"Master? Didn't you go hunting hares?" Mr. Housekeeper suddenly came over from nowhere.

Hernandez hugged his knees, sat on a big rock, and looked at him blankly.

"Ah, yes, hunting hares," he replied vaguely, "Luo, we didn't go there afterwards, there are some things..."

Mr. Butler looked at the incoherent young master strangely.

Hernandez was looking at his butler too.This person is gentle and powerful, silent most of the time, but somewhat mysterious.

When did you first meet Mr. Butler?Hernandez thought about it. It should be when he was eight years old that his father brought a young gentleman and told him that this was the new private teacher, Mr. Ace.

His two elder brothers were a bit rebellious about this, but Hernandez didn't care. He was a well-behaved child since he was a child, and he was a little timid.

Mr. Ace is a very gentle person. This is the first impression of Little Hill. He hardly loses his temper. Even when facing his brother who is always playing pranks, he just smiles kindly.

Mr. Ace is also very patient. Little Hill has never been a smart child. His spelling and grammar are always messed up. Mr. Ace just helped him correct it over and over again, tirelessly.

Mr. Ace is an excellent private teacher, but for a long time, he was just a background board in Xiao Hill's happy childhood, indispensable, but not too important.

When did Mr. Ace suddenly become important?

Two months before Hernandez's 17th birthday, when he was looking forward to his birthday party and gifts, his father suddenly said that he would take a long-distance trip for the whole family, and the whole family rejoiced, except for little Hill.

Unable to tell whether it was because of the sensitivity of young people or the discomfort of being ignored, he strongly opposed the trip, and even deliberately broke his leg.His father had no choice but to leave him alone in the manor, and asked Mr. Ace to take care of him.

While not looking forward to the trip, it was never pleasant to be left alone, and he had broken a leg.

Fortunately, there is Mr. Ace.

During those three months, Hernandez gradually discovered that Mr. Ace was a very knowledgeable and interesting person. He would read poetry collections to Little Hill, tell ancient hero legends, and occasionally discuss For some esoteric philosophical questions, he will also take little Hill to see the snow-capped mountains and see how the snow on the top of the mountains gradually melts and then gathers into streams, nourishing the cold and dry land.

During that time, Hernandez had a happy and fulfilling life, and successfully passed his youthful rebellious period.

Then, the bad news came.

What happened afterward left nothing but chaos in Hernandez's mind.

At first, he hoped that the news would be false, and then he hoped that his parents and elder brother would escape by chance. After that, he only thought about being with his family.

The manor was also in chaos. Some people fled and took a lot of property, but he didn't care, and there was nothing to care about.

At that time, Mr. Ace took the initiative to stand up and temporarily acted as the housekeeper of Mountbatten Manor, so that the chaotic manor could be settled again.

However, Hernandez's emotions are slowly collapsing.

The moonlight was just right that night, and he didn't know where to get strong alcohol. It was the first time he drank alcohol, but he couldn't get drunk anyway. Then, he took out the small dagger his father gave him.

It was a very blunt dagger, or maybe his hands were shaking from drinking, and his wrist was bloody cut by him, but he couldn't find the key position.

Then, Mr. Butler came.

He seemed very angry and shouted loudly, but Hernandez could only look at him in confusion, the young man's mind was muddled, he didn't know fear, and he couldn't feel pain.

Mr. Steward snatched his dagger and wine bottle, he struggled, and then became more bloody.In the tumult of tugging, an unconscious hug?Hernandez can't remember clearly, he only remembers the temperature of the skin contact, which seems to relieve the coldness of the whole body.

Then, he relied heavily on Mr. Housekeeper's warmth and hugs, which always calmed him down.

This kind of relationship was a bit too intimate, Hernandez knew it, but he couldn't help it, and Mr. Housekeeper didn't clearly resist these excessive intimacy, so he let himself enjoy this short period of peace.

He thinks Mr. Steward is an important family, friend, but more intimate relationship... To be honest, he never thought of it before.

But after seeing the kiss between Luo and Mr. Fermont... Hernandez covered his lips shyly.

Being able to monopolize Mr. Housekeeper as a matter of course, hug and kiss at will, and more importantly, they can always be together without worrying about contracts or other temptations, and they can truly become the most important each other in this world... Just thinking about it When I think about it, I feel wonderful.

But what did Mr. Butler think?Hernandez felt a little deflated just thinking about it.

Mr. Butler's rejection of the previous lady does not mean that he will be willing to maintain a relationship with a man, especially a little guy like himself who is almost worthless.

Hernandez agrees with what Audrey said: "For a man as outstanding as Mr. Ace, it is an insult to him to be a butler all the time, especially for a poor nobleman in a remote area."

Mr. Steward is richer than him, Hiernandez had to admit this fact.

Mr. Steward will leave sooner or later, and that day will not be very far away, and Hernandez knows it.

He is neither qualified nor able to keep such a person.

The only reason for Mr. Steward to stay until now is just worry and responsibility for him, but as he slowly recovers, officially inherits the title and property, and becomes the real Lord Mountbatten, these reasons will naturally disappear.

Continue to pretend to be sick and delay time?Hernandez would not, for a gentleman, such deceit would be criminal.

"Master, are you feeling unwell? Or is someone embarrassing you?" Mr. Butler asked gently.

Hernandez shook his head silently.

He had never been a brave kid, and he wasn't good at embarrassing anyone, especially someone he liked.He used to use his temper once in a rare way, and was severely knocked to the ground by the cold reality.

If only he hadn't realized it, Hernandez thought, he wouldn't have expected it, and he wouldn't have felt so bad.

"I just suddenly feel sad," Hernandez said in a low voice.

Mr. Butler bent down and picked him up, and gently stroked his back. Hernandez curled up in his arms, quietly listening to Mr. Butler's heartbeat. He said that he will gradually become stronger, so that Mr. Housekeeper won't be worried all the time.
