Unexpected Guest 

It was the fourth watch of the night. Amelia, dressed in her night clothes, lay asleep on her bed. And slowly, her wake was opening up.

'I'm thirsty.'

Amelia was half asleep, sitting on her bed, pouring water into her glass from the jug lying near the bed. And while putting it, her eyes went towards the place where the sofa was kept.

'Has this boy not come into the room yet?'

The sofa was empty. There was no one on the couch where Roy lay yesterday. He didn't come into the room all night.

'Where could he go?'

Roy should have entered the room by now, but he had not arrived yet. Due to this, Amelia wondered where Roy could go.

'Didn't he come because of what happened this morning?'

Thinking of this, Amelia's eyes went downwards. She felt terrible because of the way Amelia treated Roy this morning.

'I must go see where he is.'

After looking down for a while, Amelia started leaving the room by putting her coat on herself. There was a wrinkle of tension on Amelia's face.

'This relationship may not have happened with consent, but now the string of the relationship has been tied, so I should fulfill it.'

Keeping this in mind, Amelia left the room.

*********

Some time had passed while looking for Roy, but till now, Roy had not been found. Amelia looked around the room in the Mansion, looking for Roy.

'Where could he be?'

The Holt Mansion was massive, and all the servants were asleep at night, so it was very difficult to find a single person in such a big mansion. And Amelia had not even been in the Mansion for long, so she was facing trouble in finding Roy.

'Maybe he'll be here.'

While searching, Amelia had reached in front of a room from where the light was coming. Amelia started going towards that room.

On reaching out of the room, when Amelia looked inside the room, Roy was sleeping with several papers on the table.

'This boy is sleeping here and I am getting upset about it here.'

Amelia went inside the room, going to Roy. Looking at Roy, it seemed he had fallen asleep exhausted while working; he still had a pen in his hand.

'He should have taken at least some blanket to cover himself; it is cold. ,

It was cold weather, and Roy was sleeping on the table wearing a shirt. A shawl was lying inside the room. Seeing this, Amelia started going towards that place to take the blanket. And taking the mantle in her hand, she started giving it to Roy.

'This boy is really very careless.'

Amelia, after placing the blanket over Roy. looked at the book lying on Roy's table.

'What work was he doing all this night?'

Amelia wanted to see what Roy was doing without coming to the room the whole night.

Amelia slowly removed Roy's hand; she looked at the book lying down.

'What is this book.'

As Amelia read the book's title, a drop of water fell on the ground from Amelia's eyes. There was so much silence in the Mansion that even the sound of that drop came.

That book was about learning sign language. And perhaps, seeing that Roy had been reading it all night, Amelia's tears began to flow from her eyes.

Amelia did not try to talk to Roy. She didn't even treat Roy well. she thought Roy was wrong, but Roy did not say anything to her.

Instead, Roy was trying to learn even sign language to talk to her. What else would be the reason to learn from it other than to talk to Amelia.

And Amelia's heart was aching very fast as if someone had squeezed her with her hand.

Amelia started crying with her face on her feet on the ground.

'Does anyone take revenge in this way for someone's bad behavior.'

Amelia's tears were flowing. They were not ending.

'You are really bad.'

Amelia just sat and cried.

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

Night had passed, and sunlight was starting to enter the room. Slowly, the sun's rays began falling on the black-haired boy lying on the desk in the room.

The boy's wake was opening due to sunlight falling in his eyes.

'Did I fall asleep?'

Yesterday, the whole day was spent inspecting the Territory; not even a single corner of the Territory was completed because the part was tremendous. But most of the things that I did not understand very well, I came to know what is.

And I also got the idea of how it works.

'This task is more difficult than I thought.'

Creating new tax for the Territory and checking the old tax status, whether necessary or not, is very difficult. Maybe it may take me two to three weeks. The work is really too much.

'And now I have to learn this sign language too.'

To understand Amelia's words, I need to know a little about her gesture. Whether she wants to talk with me or not. But I need to have a little idea of ​​what she is talking about.

Yesterday I didn't even go into the room; I slept here on the desk; maybe Amelia would be happy to see that I didn't go into the room, and perhaps her fear has also subsided a bit.

'But it's more difficult than I thought.'

I thought I would learn sign language much more quickly, so I asked Ben to bring this book. But it might take me a month to learn it. I tried to read a little but could only get the alphabet.

When Ben brought the book, he had a smile on his face. Maybe he was laughing at my stupidity that he would try to learn it in a day.

'leave it. I have to go for training also.

As Roy started standing from the table, his attention turned towards the blanket above him.

'Who gave this to me.'

I had not taken this blanket on myself, and my things also seemed confined. Maybe Ben is worried about me, so he must have come to see me and given me a blanket out of the concern and must have packed the same.

'Ben is a really nice person.'

As shown in the anime, Ben is exactly the same, with a clean heart. Who also tries to get a boy like Roy on the right track.

After putting the blanket on the table, Roy stood up from his chair and started leaving the room.

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

The time had passed,

Roy and Amelia were sitting on the chair by the table for breakfast in the morning. And Roy's eyes were on the food lying in front of him.

'Will I have to eat the same food again today?'

I ate the food with courage yesterday, and after that, I knew what my condition was like. I am still aware of this food's burning sensation on my tongue.

Now, do I have to go through that phase again like yesterday?

'But I feel a little different today.'

Roy was looking at Amelia. Amelia looked at Roy, smiling slightly and taking her eyes away from him.

'I don't see her smile like yesterday's; there is a difference.'

Amelia's smile seemed strange to me as if there was a little sadness in that smile. And she was not meeting my eyes. I couldn't understand what it meant.

'Now maybe I will be destined to eat like this in the morning.'

I'll have to keep Amelia here with me until Andrew arrives. No matter how much she wants to meet Andrew. My job is to keep these two lovers away until Andrew becomes strong.

With this, when Andrew becomes powerful and comes to save Amelia, their love will not only be strong but the well-being of the whole kingdom is also hidden.

Roy picked up his morsel of food in his hand.

'Roy, give me the courage to finish this meal today, just like yesterday.'

Roy took his morsel of food inside his mouth

'This food is a lot-'

Roy swallows the food

'....tasty?'

This food is delicious. I could not believe this food was the same as what I had eaten yesterday. There was a difference between earth and sky in today's and yesterday's food.

Roy looked at Amelia with wide-open eyes in astonishment. Amelia smiled slightly, pointing to the food and asking Roy to eat more.

'Has her anger subsided a bit?'

Yesterday, the person who had put so much chili in my food, today I find that food so delicious that I can't stop eating it. But why would she have cooked such food today?

Amelia was pointing to Roy's food and asking him to start eating again, and Roy began to eat the food again as soon as she suggested it.

"This is, fine."

This food is delicious.

At Roy's behest, Amelia smiled a little and put her plate's food on Roy's plate. Seeing this, Roy started looking at Amelia.

"Isn't this your food? What will you eat?"

During Roy's talk, Amelia started shaking her head here and there and pointing out to Roy to eat again.

'What has happened to her today?'

Today Amelia is behaving very strangely. It seems to me that the resentment is gone. But how is it possible?

Seeing Roy stop, Amelia again asked him to eat. When Amelia gestured again, Roy started eating again.

The servants who were in the room were standing behind the wall today. They were afraid that Roy would get angry again today after eating Amelia's food, but they were all surprised to see Roy and Amelia's interaction.

They were all looking at them in surprise.

Roy was finishing his dinner and looking at Amelia in surprise, and Amelia was looking at Roy, smiling.

"Young Master"

While Roy was having his dinner, Ben came into the room and started calling Roy.

"What nonsense have you come to speak. You must have a good reason to disturb my food."

Roy looked at Ben. Ben started bowing as soon as Roy said.

"Young Master, I apologize for wasting your precious time. But someone wants to meet Master Harrison."

"Has your memory also become weak due to old age? Do you, the idiot, don't know that Father is not in the Territory. Go and tell them."

Harrison isn't home yet, so they can't meet Harrison until he arrives. They'll have to wait.

When I spoke to Ben, Amelia looked at me in amazement as if my words she hadn't imagined would come like this.

"Young master, I will go and tell him. But they had said that they had some urgent work. It is very important for them to meet the master."

Ben bowed down and started telling me.

"Do you not understand what I said, if he is not here, then how will they meet him? Go and tell them."

"Yes, young master as you say."

Ben started going back out of the room.

"wait, who are they?"

As soon as Ben reached the room door, Roy started asking Ben by giving a voice from behind.

I need to know so that I can tell Harrison, who came to meet them

As soon as I said that, Ben started looking at me.

"Young master they was calling themselves Turner's."

Ben bowed to me and said.

"Okay you can go now."

As soon as Roy said, Ben started returning from the room. Amelia was watching Roy's words in surprise, as if something was going on in her mind.

'Turner?'

Why do I feel like hearing this name I have heard somewhere before? And why do I feel like I forget something?

Roy started eating his food again.

'Turner. Turner. Turner. ...…. Turner?!!!'

I remembered.

Roy stood hurriedly from his place.

"Old Hag! Wait"

Roy stood up from his place and started calling Ben hurriedly.

Everyone sitting there was a little surprised to see Roy's behavior.

"Yes, young master."

Ben quickly stopped by Roy's loud voice.

"Tell them that I am coming."

Hearing Roy's words, Ben looked at Roy in surprise.

"Young master, you will go-"

"Do as you are told, without asking any questions."

Ben bowed his head in fear because of Roy's anger.

"Yes, yes young master."

Ben hurriedly started going outside. And Amelia was looking at Roy.

'Why is he talking in such a way.'

He is not such a bad boy, but why is he behaving this way. Is he a bad boy? ….no if he was so, he would not have told them he would go to meet them.

'I shouldn't doubt anymore. You have seen that this boy is not that bad so you should trust him.'

Amelia shook her head, began to eat her meal, and Roy hurriedly finished the meal. Looking at him, it seemed something was going on in his mind.

'What I am thinking, it just doesn't turn out to be the same.'

Roy quickly started getting ready to leave to meet them.

*********

In a room, two people were sitting on a chair, looking at them; they seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Father, do you really think they will help us?"

From those two people, a boy whose age seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen and who had green hair was asking a man of forty and fifty years.

"I don't know. But we have no other way but to ask them for help. Fifty people have died in the Territory and our soldiers who went for investigation are also not known. That's why we can't do anything in this matter."

The man was telling the boy the answer to his question as to why he needed Holt's help.

"I understand. But I haven't heard anything good about them. Can't we get help from someone else."

"Daniel, we are Viscounts inside Marquess Holt, so we will have to ask for their help. And no one will help us."

In the kingdom, at the top was royalty, then came to the duke, marquess, count, viscount, and so on, and finally reached the knight.

Those in higher ranks like marquess have the responsibility of lower nobles in them so that they can only go to them for all their needs. And they have to obey all the things of the marquess.

It's the kingdom's complete nobility system.

"Father, because of these, we have to collect so many taxes from those poor people. Those poor people do not have even the roof and they are living in such a luxurious palace."

"Calm down Daniel, you can't say all this here or else there will be a lot of trouble."

"But-"

While they were talking, the sound of the door opening came.

As soon as the door opened, they became silent and started looking toward it. A fifteen-year-old boy with dark hair, red eyes, and a beautiful face came into the room by the door. As soon as he entered, he started looking at them.

The boy was looking at Daniel.

'Daniel Turner'

It turned out to be what I feared. Daniel Turner. the mid-level villain of the legendary hero game. And who joins Andrew's party after losing to Andrew in the end. But what is he doing here? It was not shown in the game or in the anime.

As soon as that boy came inside, that forty-fifty-year-old man started greeting him.

"Master Roy, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing the man bowing down, Daniel also bowed down to greet Roy like him.

'Maybe he will be Daniel's father, Lawrence.'

In the anime, Daniel's family is dead. Due to the disease named Kiyamiya. But if he is alive now, it means that the disease has either not spread yet or the reason for its arrival.

"I have no interest in over-interacting with you. Tell me what work have you both come for. I have many more jobs to do."

I hate this tongue of mine that doesn't bring good words.

Daniel clenched his fist as soon as Roy said, perhaps in anger. But Lawrence, keeping his emotion under control, started looking at Roy.

"Yes, Master Roy, but we have a job with Lord Harrison, you please call them."

Harrison is not at home, and I also want to know whether or not the reason for your coming is what I am thinking. That's why you have to tell me.

"They don't have time to face a guy like you. Tell me why you have come here.

I want to know, and I also have to keep in mind that Daniel will be on his team with Andrew and consider how I have to behave with them so that nothing goes wrong.

"But Master Roy that work-"

"You are deaf, can't hear what I said. Speak quickly or else I don't have time to talk to a guy like you too much."

Daniel was looking at me angrily. I could see anger in his eyes about my behavior. But it's important because you're the one who will save Amelia with Andrew.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'll tell you."

Lawrence began to tell Roy apologetically after bowing his head slightly.

"Master Roy, a strange disease has struck our territory, due to which fifty people of the territory have died and the condition of many people is critical, for which we hope for help from Lord Harrison."

Which I feared. Kiamia's disease has started spreading.

"We suspect that this disease is coming from the water source because of some monster, but the soldiers who go to investigate it, they have not even returned yet."

You are right, this disease is caused by the Kreman monster, but if you do not know how to defeat them, you are doing nothing more than just going to them and inviting death.

"That's why we look to Lord Harrison to help us find the root of this disease and help us with the resources that have been contaminated."

Lawrence began to bow his head, and Daniels started imitating Lawrence, doing the same thing as him.

I now wonder why this scene might not have appeared in Anime; Turner may have been in the Territory of Halt, but since Harrison was not there, Roy didn't even try to meet him. They can't be able to meet Harrison. Maybe this is the only possible reasoning.

If we go through the game's timeline, Daniel's family and Territory will be destroyed; Daniel is an excellent warrior, and he will start killing people, stealing, and so on.

When Daniel meets Andrew one day, Andrew defeats him and asks him why he has become like this, which will lead him to come to Andrew's party and kill Roy.

When Turner later visits Harrison to ask for his help, he cannot help them, which becomes a significant reason for Harrison to be punished.

"Master Roy, please call Lord Harrison. This is a very serious matter of fact which we have to report to the Lord and we are in dire need of Lord's help at this time. Please call."

At the end of the game, I will leave the Halt Territory and run away. But Harrison is Roy's father, and I don't want him to be punished. And I also wouldn't like the Turner Territory to be destroyed and all of Daniel's family killed.

But even if I have to help him, it should be so that Daniel hates me and he can join Andrew's party in some other way. So that due to the change in the plot of the game, he can still stay in his place.

I must do it, being Harrison's son Roy. And because I do not want to take the burden of someone's death on myself, no matter the reason, I do not dare to bear all that right now.

Lawrence stood with his head bowed.

"Why should I call them?"

Roy started going to the table lying in the room and haughtily sat down on the chair.

Daniels and Lawrence turned to look at Roy.

"Whenever any problem comes to you dogs, you go to your master and wag your tail and ask for help. No, you are below dogs."

"Roy Holt!!"

Daniel got furious on hearing Roy's words. But Lawrence held out his hand to Daniel and asked him to stop.

"Father?"

"Forgive him, Master Roy. But we are in need of your help right now."

Daniel was angry, but at the behest of Lawrence, he started seeing downwards, biting his lips in anger.

Roy looked at Daniel.

"How weak you really are, without your master you cannot really do anything. This is the fate of Weakling. Go to the person who are stronger than you and beg him to help you."

Roy was mockingly insulting both of them. Lawrence also started clenching his fist after listening to Roy. And the embers were really burning in Daniel's eyes.

Both of them face down and listen to Roy insulting. And the hope of getting help from their Halt was slowly fading away.

Roy had put his foot on the desk. And he was looking at Daniel and Lawrence, smiling.

"But without the help of the master, even a dog cannot do anything on its own, so rejoice, for like you, this master will give you his mercy."

Seeing Roy telling him that he would help them, Lawrence and Daniel looked at him.

"Master Roy means you will call Lord Harrison."

Lawrence started asking Roy for hope.

"For someone like you, Father doesn't even need to come. I am alone enough. Rejoice, after three days Roy Holt will step into your Territory."

Daniel got angry as soon as Roy spoke.

"Do you think it is such a small thing that we have not been able to solve this disease yet and you think that you alone will solve it."

"Daniel"

As soon as Daniel's cross-questioning, Lawrence pointed his hand toward Daniel and gestured to silence him.

"Master Roy, how will you be able to do all this alone."

"What do you think you are talking about?"

As Lawrence said, Roy stood up from his table and looked at Daniel and Lawrence.

"My name is Roy. And no work is impossible for me."

"But-"

"I have not allowed you to speak and you do not even have the right to speak in front of me."

Am I not insulting them now? I thought I would speak a little wrong; I would not say too much bad, but the dirt from my mouth does not go away, and I have to act to match my words.

I hate Roy.

Roy came a little closer to Daniels and Lawrence. And they both started looking toward Roy.

"I will tell you what a true Aristocrat is like and nothing is impossible for him. Rejoice that Roy will step into your Territory."

Daniels and Lawrence were looking at Roy, angry and displeased with Roy's behavior, and Roy speaking to him with an evil smile.

Saying this, Roy raised his voice.

"Old Hag"

Standing outside the room, Ben entered the room as soon as Roy spoke.

"Yes, Young Master"

"These two will stay here for three days, show them their room and show them how lucky they are to have got a chance to live in Holt Mansion."

Ben bent over as Roy asked and looked at Daniel and Lawrence.

"Both of you, please come with me."

Lawrence was a little hesitant and paused to look at Roy.

"What are you looking at, hurry up, why are you standing?"

Lawrence started leaving with Ben as Roy asked, and Daniel's face showed that he was not happy with this meeting, but he also started following Lawrence.

Roy was looking outside at the window. And a thing was going on in Lawrence's mind seeing Roy.

'Will someone whom anyone considers less than a dog, will even give a place to stay?'

Lawrence started walking out of the room, looking at Roy.

Roy was looking out the window.

'I have told this work but it is very difficult.'

This was the only thing going on in Roy's mind.

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

Daniels and Lawrence were staying in the guest room of the Mansion.

"I hate that boy. He was becoming more of himself. Where his Territory has the responsibility to help us. He is very proud of his help."

It is the responsibility of Halt they will help the noble who comes under them. It is their responsibility, but Roy treated them with the fact that he would help them, which was very uncomfortable for Daniel.

Daniel was kicking the table angrily, saying.

"He thinks that that only fifteen year old boy will do what we could not do. And he didn't even call the Lord. In fact, he is an even worse boy than everyone says about it."

In Turner Territory, the disease has been going on for two months. He cannot solve it, and Roy said he would solve it alone. What else does Daniel think of this except his humiliation?

Daniel was venting his anger on the table.

"Daniel, what was meant to happen has happened. There is no use in getting angry for what has passed now. And I don't think Lord Harrison is even in the Territory."

As soon as Daniel listened to Lawrence, he started looking at him.

"How can you say that?"

Lawrence began to explain to Daniel.

"If they were in the Territory, wouldn't we even see it? We have been brought here after showing the entire Mansion in the room. have you forgotten."

Ben put Lawrence and Danielle in the best guest room a little inside the Mansion. Where the way used to come from most of the rooms of the Mansion.

Due to the passing of the rooms, he saw all the rooms in which Harrison was not there, and Roy did not call Harrison even once, so it can be inferred that Harrison is not in the Territory.

"Daniel, what would we have done if we told Lord Harrison wasn't at territory?"

Daniel was left in a bit of thought as soon as Lawrence's question was asked.

"We would have been forced to go home."

With Harrison not in the Territory, they have no other choice, as the Territory's Lord makes the decision, and in his absence, they have to wait for Harrison to arrive.

After Daniel's answer, Lawrence began to tell him.

"We would have been forced to go home. Isn't it? So, can't you wait three days and test this boy's point of view? Where we have been searching for a solution for two months, can't we stay for three more days?"

Daniel looked down after Lawrence's question.

"We can stay. But trust that boy-"

"We have no other way at this time than to trust him. So now you stop arguing and take some rest, we have come a long way."

Daniel wanted to say something, but after hearing Lawrence, he disagreed and went to rest.

Lawrence also started looking towards the window, seeing that it seemed that something was going on in his mind.

'I would like to see how and what this future Lord, can do.'

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

It was night; Roy was looking at the papers in front of him on his table with his hands above his head.

'This job is much more difficult.'

I did ask Danielle and Lawrence. What he said was the same as was shown in the whole anime. His words and the scenes in the anime matched.

But I was finding it difficult to remember some scenes, and the bigger problem was that.

'How do I make way for Daniel to be included in Andrew's team?'

I'll have to help them, and I'll have to make way so Daniel can join the party with Andrew in the game ahead. I must think carefully about each step, which one to keep, when, and how.

And with this, I also have to check the territory papers, and I also have to read this sign language book because if I can extend it even for a day, then I will not be able to start again.

And with all this, I will have to do more training to be ready after three days because if I want to kill the monster, I will have to remember a few game attacks for my safety.

'Ahhhhh, that's too frustrating.'

Roy then began writing on the paper.

While Roy was writing on the paper, someone opened the door of Roy's room.

"Old hag, you have come on time; make me a cup of coffee so I can't sleep. And go to sleep after that, or your old bones may break because of too much work.

You work a lot, Ben, so sleep; we also need to rest along with work.

Roy was speaking without looking while doing his work.

As soon as Roy asked, the one outside closed the door and went to make coffee.

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

Fifteen minutes later, Roy was still working at his table, and the one outside opened the door again and started coming into the room.

"It's done quickly; you are really something, old hag .come here, give it to me. ,

Roy began to take the cup of coffee from his hand. And as soon as Roy turned his gaze to the person holding the cup, Roy was shocked.

'huh?'

Ben was not holding the cup, but Amelia was standing holding the cup.

"What are you doing here? Where's that old hag?"

What is Amelia doing? Wasn't Ben outside my room? Did I take Amelia to be Ben and ask for coffee?

If so, why did she bring the coffee?

As soon as Roy asked in surprise, Amelia turned the cup of coffee towards Roy and asked him to take it.

Seeing Amelia turning the cup towards Roy, Roy took the cup in his hand. Amelia was not taking her eyes off Roy.

'Has she mixed something in this?'

Does she want to take revenge on me at night after having a good meal in the morning? Will she now get revenge by giving me dinner every day?

Have some mercy on me. Andrew will save you, but till then, don't harass me so much.

Roy was cursing his luck. When Roy saw Amelia after cursing her luck, Amelia held a book in which she had written something.

(Do you still have to work all night today?)

Roy was surprised to read the words written in that book. He could not understand the meaning of these words.

'Why is she asking such questions?'

After Amelia's question, Roy paused to look at Amelia. And without saying anything to his question, he nods his head.

Amelia looked a little sad after hearing this, seeing Roy's words.

'Perhaps he is working to help those who have come.'

I thought he was wrong; his words are definitely dirty, but I don't think he is bad at heart.

I thought about what happened to Andrew, then when I thought carefully, it was Andrew's fault. And if all this, he could have punished him more severely, but he did not.

I think this boy is dirty on his tongue, but he is not such a wrong person.

Roy was still looking at Amelia in wonder what Amelia meant. Amelia starts writing again in her notebook.

(You should also take a rest. Don't overwork. If I can help with some work, you can ask me too.)

And started showing it to Roy by writing.

'Is she worrying me?'

No. It is impossible but then why is she asking such questions, which gives me the misconception that she is worrying for me.

"No, there is no need. Go and go to sleep."

After Amelia wrote, Roy refused to seek her help. Amelia felt a little sad when Roy refused but obeyed her, and Amelia started going out.

Roy takes a cup of coffee and takes a sip

'It's normal.'

Amelia did not put anything in Roy's coffee and probably brought coffee too. Roy could not understand what Amelia meant by behaving like this.

Amelia was about to leave the room when she stood at the gate and stopped for two seconds.

"What happened, you need something."

Amelia wrote something on the book and pointed it toward Roy on Roy's asking.

(Good night, and don't overwork.)

Amelia's eyes were on the right while holding the book; she could not make eye contact with Roy's eyes.

Roy looking at the book, it was difficult for Roy to believe whether he was reading correctly.

Amelia quickly left the room after seeing Roy. And Roy stared in surprise

'What was it just now? Is it my illusion'

The way Amelia said, does she not know how beautiful she is, even though I am nineteen years old, but still, my heart started beating fast.

No, Kazuo, You are a good person. She is just a fifteen-year-old girl who will be in class close to the 10th standard. A college student cannot shy away from a school student.

Your work is very much, concentrate.

Roy tried to do his work again. And as Roy took a sip of the cup, Roy would remember what had just happened.

Roy's cheeks were also showing a slightly red appearance.

'concentrate'

Roy started working again, hitting his head.

But the whole time, Roy could not concentrate on work.
