Aiming to be the perfect butler for my lady

Chapter 79- Returned

"But how did this happen?" There was a sense of agitation in his voice, as the security chief of the Starfall Academy made his way towards the records office where the information regarding each student was kept.

The subordinate, who brought the information to the chief, sweated profusely. While wiping his bald head, the subordinate responded, "The security guards weren't sleeping. They did see a figure enshrouded in black, however, before they could ask the intruder anything, they were struck with something hard and blunt."

"And those glass dolls fainted?" Hearing the sharp snarl of the chief, the bald man felt shivering all across his body in fear.

The incident occurred last night when someone invaded the records room and stole information regarding some individuals.

The records room was also, naturally, under the security of the security chief assigned by the capital to keep the Academy and the data they possessed, safe.

And now, under their nose, someone stole such vital information regarding some of the students...wait,

The security chief turned toward the man beside him before halting and asking in a dreadful voice, "Please tell me that Princess Alatia wasn't the one whose information was leaked."

There was evident stress and trepidation in the chief's voice when he asked that. If the information regarding the princess gets stolen, then forget about the job, and the chief might lose his life.

However, much to the chief's relief, the bald man shook his head before telling him, "No, sir. The file of Your Highness wasn't touched...however,"

"However?!" The chief widened in eyes and pressed forward

The other one became even more nervous however, despite in a stuttering voice, he finished what he intended to say, "The file of Your Highness' butler was stolen. And not only him, every student and servant who goes by the name 'Kyle' has been stolen."

The chief's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he contemplated the matter closely and a little composedly now that the Princess was no longer in danger(?).

After a brief pause, he asked, "Who is the most important Kyle we should be concerned about?"

The bald subordinate didn't think much before responding, "There are four Kyle in total: two servants and two nobles. The servant of Your Highness and the one serving Stephen Williams. And the other two are Viscount Jones' son and Baron Willson's child."

There was a frown on the chief's face as he asked, "Student Stephen Williams is Your Highness Princess Alatia's current butler's brother, right?"

"That's right, sir. Count William lost his title some years ago, but thanks to his service in the trading field, he was able to build himself a reputation and retain his surname. Stephen Williams is Count Williams's first child, while Butler Kyle is Stephen's younger brother."

The chief hummed, "Is it just a coincidence that the big brother has a butler of the same name as his younger brother? Was it some kind of family feud which urged someone to steal information?" Turning towards his subordinate, he commanded, "Investigate Stephen Williams and Princess' Butler for me."

The bald one replied instantly, "On it, captain!"

***************

Alatia and Kyle were back in the academy but since they returned by afternoon, Alatia decided to start classes from tomorrow. She had the permission of the headmaster so there was no point in worrying.

The trip back to the academy was quite uneventful; however, looking at the content smile she wore, Kyle was relieved that she enjoyed the journey.

He was currently kneeling before his mistress to help her remove her boots. Although she was a warrior, it wasn't surprising for her to become tired after such a long journey. And since they took only a single break on the return trip, it becomes even more justifiable why her eyes were half closed, and she was barely holding herself from falling into a slumber.

Kyle slowly removed her boots before getting up and scooping his lady in his arms fluently. He had done it a couple of times, so he knew where to place his hands, even with his eyes closed, to comfortably pick up the feather-weight girl.

Seriously, he wonders where all the meat she eats goes.....

"Where are you staring at..." Alatia grinned to find Kyle's eyes suddenly moving toward her breasts, but she didn't hide it; rather, she snuggled closer to let him feel them a bit.

She was hoping for a reaction, but as expected of her lover, who was currently in his butler mode, he didn't react at all.

After putting her down on the bed, he extended his hand behind her head and was about to pull the ribbon tying her hair—only to find his hand being held by her as she whined,

"You said I look pretty with my hair tied." She was resistant to letting go of the look which her lover complimented. She wanted to look like this for the rest of her life!

Kyle softly smiled at her antics as he pulled the ribbon and allowed her silky hair to fall down like the sunrays of early morning.

Softly he whispered after seeing her pout, "You always look adorable in my eyes, regardless of how you style your hair."

He can't let her sleep like this, or her hair would start falling, and she would cry. That's why he had to take extra care of her hair.

Alatia stopped pouting, and while holding his hand, she lay down on the bed.

"In exchange for not listening to your mistress, you have to sleep together with me tonight."

Kyle smiled fondly at that. He was not letting that offer slip.

However, before that, he excused himself and made some lie that he had to see if he had brought everything from the capital. He didn't want to make her worried.

"Sure...but don't take too long~"

Kyle made his way out of the room and directly walked out of the dorm.

He had a feeling that someone had been watching them since earlier when they entered the academy. He didn't see Alatia reacting, so he assumed that this might be him being over-cautious. However, he didn't take a chance and utilized Beta to check his surroundings.

He searched everywhere around him but couldn't find anything or anyone that could be regarded as suspicious.

'I must be tired...' With those thoughts, Kyle decides to head back into the bed and hold his lover to sleep.

What he failed to notice was the figure of a woman sitting on top of the cottage with a crazed smile on her face. Her legs were dangling down while she merrily watched Kyle searching, only to fail in the end.

Holding the fragment of a wooden mask near her chest

, she whispered under her breath,

"Found you."
