Chapter 18 Young Master To The Rescue! (3)
"Yep! That's right, your beloved young master is here to save the day."
Damien calculated the risk of interfering with the events but he doesn't remember Calen and Maelys meeting at this early stages.
But it was also not like this was due to him. Maybe their abduction just happened while their main goal was Calen and his family.
'I hope this doesn't affect the story that much. Having control over the events is much needed as I want to enjoy this life to its fullest.'
"Who are you? Where is my baby brother?" At that moment he heard her voice. An annoying and embarrassed tone. Like she was disappointed that it was him that came to their rescue.
'She's a tsundere, alright.'
In the novel, Celeste was a formidable character and the only true character to make Calen obey almost all her commands. He doesn't even listen to his lovers but his sister was another thing.
He ignored her and went straight to his party.
"Yo-young master, it's you! You came to our rescue. Thank you, young master. I'll be forever in your debt." The old butler along with the other servants bowed toward their savior.
Not in a million years they thought this day would come. The useless and sickly young master of Zadkiel saving his servants. It was truly a miracle.
"Of course, how can I abandon you all? You'll are my servants, the servants of Zadkiel duchy. As a Zadkiel, there is no way I'm gonna let you all die."
He unlocked the shackles on their hands with the keys.
Luther was the only one in his party to not say anything. He was too astonished to even speak.
'That's right, bastard. Take your time and praise me more. Be my dog. He~ He~ He~'
After freeing the servants, the young master looked towards the astonished second-in-commander.
"Don't worry Luther. They won't be here anytime soon." He said as he twisted the key on the lock very slowly. He was deliberately slowing the process as to make Luther feel more about him.
Clack!-
The lock came undone and Luther suddenly kneeled on the ground.
"Young master, I'm forever in debt to you. Wherever you go, I shall be your shadow. I'll serve you with dignity and honor." His voice becoming emotional and wavering.
For Luther, this was a wake-up call.
For all things, he has said about the young master, all the laughter and teasing just made him more guilty.
He never thought the cowardly and perverted young master would be the one to rescue him. Yet here he is, kneeling in front of his young master, as he rightfully earned it.
"We can do this later. Get up. I need your strength, Luther. Can you help me?"
Luther nodded enthusiastically. "Whatever you need, young master. My sword is yours to command." He had a look of determination on his face.
'Nice. Now to the rowdy one.'
"Here, free them." He handed the keys to the old butler.
"Young master, what happened to your arms?!!" They were all in shock to see their savior being the young master that they forgot about the injuries on his body.
"Oh, this? An idiot tied me with a rope on a tree and left me in the middle of the forest. Breaking free was not easy." He shook his head in sadness.
"Who? Who would dare to do such a thing?!" Luther gritted his teeth.
"Some loose nuts. I haven't seen him again. That's not important now, let's get out of here, shall we?"
"...As you wish."
Everyone got ready to move out but there was someone who was looking at Damien with suspicious eyes.
"...Hey, what about my brother? He should be here somewhere." She asked him.
"I don't know who you're talking about. There is a battle going on on the outside and this is the perfect opportunity to get out of here. Are you guys coming or not?" He flashed her a smile.
"...Mmm. Yeah. He'll be alright and thank you for saving us."
He nodded in acknowledgment.
Though she didn't fully believe the young master she was more than relieved to get out of the prison. There are more pressing things to do.
"Young master, do you know a way out?" Luther enquired.
"Yes, I happened to find a shortcut out of the fort. It is out of sight, so chances of getting caught are slim but we've to hurry."
"Lead the way, young master."
On the way outside, Luther equipped the spear from the knocked-out guard. He wondered if the young master was really hiding his powers or if was it just because of the situation, he was like this.
"What exactly happened to you? You're not someone who gets caught like this?" Damien inquired as he also doesn't know the details of Luther getting abducted.
"Sleeping gas. It was strong enough to knock every one of us." Luther said through gritted teeth.
'Maelys must have used her wind to control the gas.' He thought. 'They must be after something if they were taking everyone without any harm. What would that be?'
He glanced at the blond girl running beside him. 'What does she have that Maelys wanted so much?'
He decided to push those thoughts to the side and decided to get the hell out of here but he vowed to return here and when that time comes, he would be on the bed with Maelys.
'Yes! I'll be waiting Maelys, for our happy reunion.'
He wanted to talk to Celeste but she seemed too wild for him now. He didn't want to take a risk right now. The girl was a tsundere and a punch from her could possibly kill him.
All the tsunderes are like this. He hated that. So many nights he has wondered why they can't act normally.
'I should become strong and court her after that. Must be nice to bend her unwavering will and submit her under me. He~ He~ He~'
