gentleman's servant

Mrs. Shirley's subject flashed by, and I interrupted hastily.

"Ma'am, did something happen to this Baron Uzak? Why did his son say that?"

The two people in front of me turned their heads to look at me, and the baron even raised his eyebrows.

"What? Are you interested in him?" Madam Shirley smiled.

"Uh..." I knew that my actions were very abrupt, a servant who was usually very silent, actually asked about a baron.

I couldn't find a good excuse for the time being, so I had to say: "This Lord Baron looks, uh... handsome and handsome, how could his son say such cruel things to his father."

"Good eyesight, Lord Yuzak is indeed handsome, you haven't seen him when he was young, so handsome that all women are fascinated by him." Mrs. Shirley looked at the dance floor, waving her fan and said: "See Is the lady next to the baron? That is his wife, Mrs. Dalia, who gave birth to a son and a daughter for the baron. They love each other very much. It is the son of his ex-wife who is also the future heir to the title who is arguing with the baron Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if they had a good relationship."

I couldn't help but focus on Mrs. Dalia. She is a beautiful woman about 30 years old, with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a gorgeous red and white long dress. Tiny pearls and emeralds are covered, and the rich and powerful appearance is very eye-catching.

She held her husband Yuzak's hand tightly, and both of them were smiling, but I found it a little strange that their relationship seemed not as harmonious as it seemed.

"It's getting late." The baron said suddenly, "I'm going to take my leave first, what do you think?"

Madam Shirley, like a playful girl, put her fan on her mouth: "It's too early, the night has just begun, if you leave early, you will be accused of arrogance again."

The baron just bowed to the lady reservedly, then turned to me and said, "Let's go."

The Baron strode away like the wind, and I had to trot behind him to keep up.

When he got home, he threw his coat and cane into my arms, glared at me bitterly, and went to the study without looking back, looking annoyed.

The grown-up is always moody, and I don't know why he's angry again.

After packing up the baron's things, I went into his study with a tea tray.He was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine in his hand, and the firelight reflected his face.

He glanced up at me, then looked away.

"My lord, would you like a cup of hot milk? This is just delivered from the kitchen." I said softly.

He suddenly put the wine glass heavily on the table, made a 'beep' sound, and even spilled the wine on the table.I was startled and stared blankly at him.

"Hmph!" He snorted again, hesitated for a while and said, "Bring it to me."

I brought the tea tray in front of him, and as soon as I handed it to him, he stood up and bumped into him, the cup fell over, and the hot milk spilled all over him.

"Ah!" he yelled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my lord, are you okay." I hurriedly wiped the hot milk on his body with my hands.

As he undressed, he complained, "You are really clumsy."

Under my surprised gaze, he took off his shirt, and the light of the fire reflected on his pale and naked skin.

I stared blankly for a while, then lowered my head in embarrassment.In fact, we have done very intimate things long ago, but we still feel embarrassed to look at him.

"Did you see it?" he asked suddenly.

My heart skipped a beat. He once asked me this question. That was the first time I served him to change his clothes. That's how he asked me.

"Did you see that?" he asked again.

I raised my head to look into his eyes, he was also staring at me, the reflection of fire light danced in his eyes, I was stunned for a moment, and replied stupidly: "Yes, I saw it."

"Do you find it ugly?" he asked.

Just as I was about to blurt out the words 'not ugly', I stopped him abruptly, but I couldn't bear to say 'ugly' to him, so I fell silent.

"I knew that you were laughing at me as an ugly hunchback just like everyone else." He said silently, "You also appreciate handsome people like Baron Uzak, so naturally you also think I'm ugly."

I suddenly felt very worried and wanted to comfort him, but my reason controlled me so that I couldn't do this.

I'm just his servant...it's not my job...

"There are so many women there tonight, and they are all flirting with me, saying they love me, but which one of them really loves me?" He took a step forward and stood in front of me: "Tell me, you know them Who among them really loves me?"

I looked at him in a panic, like a thorn in my heart, pushing in little by little, but my throat seemed to be strangled, and I couldn't say a word.

"You also know that no one loves me, right? No one will love me..." He lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's okay, go and get me a change of clothes."

I suddenly wanted to hold him in my arms like this, tell him my feelings for him, tell him that I love him, as if I was bewitched, and when I came back to my senses, I found that I had already held his wrist .

He raised his eyes and looked at me expectantly, but I was burned by his sincere eyes, and let go of my hand hastily.

My heart was beating fast, my breathing was unstable, and I heard my panicked voice.

"I'll go right away, please wait a moment."

Then I ran out of the room like I was running away.

I didn't go back that night. I left the shirtless baron in the study, and ordered a maid to bring him clothes.This is a ridiculous move. The baron may be angry, but I don't have the energy to care about whether he is angry. I am afraid that after seeing him, I will do impulsive things.

Early the next morning, I found the housekeeper very spinelessly and told him that I wanted to go back to visit my mother, and the housekeeper granted me a leave of absence.They are not worried that I will escape again. On the baron's manor, if a mouse escapes, it will be found.

It was less than seven when I got home, and my younger sister, An Qi, was already making breakfast. When she saw the freshly baked bread I brought home, she excitedly hugged me and kissed me.

"I'm so glad to be here, Brother Owen," she muttered. "If only you could come home every day."

Ariel also led Sam around me, Sam bit a dirty finger, his big eyes flashed expectantly.

I picked him up and carried him on my shoulders. He first exclaimed, then giggled. The laughter changed from small to loud, and finally into a loud laugh.

"Where's mom?" I asked Angie.

An Qi rolled her eyes and said, "How would I know? If you gave her so much money, she must have had a drink. Is she dying of drunkenness in some corner?"

"It's getting cold." I frowned and said, "Remember to let her go home and drink. I don't want her to get drunk and freeze to death by the roadside."

"I see." Angie said unwillingly.

It wasn't until almost noon that my mother came back. She smelled of alcohol, her dirty hair was stained with straw, and she was still carrying a jug of wine.

"Owen, my dear son, you are back." She said pleasantly.

"Mom, I've already told you, don't go out to drink at night, your brothers and sisters are still very young, they need you to stay at home." I said dissatisfied.

The mother waved her hand and said, "You are still young, it's time for a girl to get married."

Angie put her hands on her hips angrily and said, "That's right, I must get married early."

Our family had breakfast together, and after breakfast, my mother looked at me flatteringly.

"I have no money son."

I fumbled in my pockets and gave her all the money I had on me.

She happily took it and hid it in her skirt.

I hesitated for a while, and asked, "Mom, do you remember Dad?"

"Why don't you remember?" She said casually. After she finished speaking, she paused and looked at me in surprise: "Did the baron find him?"

I sighed and said, "No, I told you a long time ago that it is impossible to find him again, so don't think about it."

"Really..." she said disappointedly.

"Mom... Dad... Where is he from? I mean who are the grandparents? Are there any brothers and sisters?"

"Your grandparents?" The mother thought for a while and said, "They are tenants of Mormont Manor, and your father is the only child. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, is Dad really the son of grandparents? I mean, I remember Dad is very good-looking..."

"Haha." The mother laughed, as if thinking of something happy, her eyes suddenly became very soft: "Yes, he has always been a handsome handsome boy, people say he is not like old Eric's child, laugh His wife gave him a cuckold..."

How many years have passed, and the mother still only shows the happiest smile when talking about her father.Other times she was spoiled, dull, and full of lies, like all alcoholics.

I walked over and hugged her, she froze for a moment, then leaned on my shoulder softly.

"Don't think about him." I said, "You still have us."

"You don't understand your son, he will definitely come back, your father loves us, and he is definitely not someone who will abandon us." The mother still said stubbornly.

No matter how much I dawdled, I must rush back to the castle before dark.

In fact, I was a little apprehensive. When I walked into the castle step by step, I heard an amazing news.

"My lord's uncle has passed away, and his title and manor will belong to our lord." All the servants were whispering.

"Then, is the master now the Viscount?"

"I still need to go to the Justice Hall to sign the documents, but do you know about Mormont Manor? It is a large hereditary land, and it is now under the owner's name."

The reason why the servants were happy was simple, because they would be the Viscount's servants now, it would be more dignified to speak out, and they could hold their heads up higher in front of outsiders.

Only I stood empty in the crowd, did Viscount Bruce die just like that?The person I have always wanted to avenge with my own hands, how could he die so easily...
