Unforgiven

With the grand duke's awaited return to the manor, the butler's workload had once again reduced, as the young lord of the house preferred to do most of them by himself. Thus, it had come as quite a pleasant surprise to the butler that the lord had left certain important work duties in his care for the week. Something that had been even more shocking was the fact that young master Kira had left the quiet manor that he enjoyed only to reside at some hotel in the rowdy city centre, despite the fact that he could not bear with the thought of being around noisy places.

The butler could still remember the quiet, shy, bruised child he had encountered, who was too scared to step out of the darkness of his room, always in hiding. Away from the sight of his parents.
