Messy Plan

#Author's point of view.

They started their mission. Ernesto could only depend on Arsenio who was tasked with inciting Jamila. He was busy practicing magic and finding out about Evan's powers. Even so, he still believes that Arsenio is capable of doing that. And fortunately, Arsenio agreed to the task and did not complain.

This mission will depend on what Arsenio does, instigating Jamila. That way, they have succeeded in creating a conflict between Jamila and Evan. That was the plan they had talked about last night in the library.

Ernesto currently didn't have time to wander around the castle and observe Jamila's movements. He had to develop his magic because Evan had taught him every time, except at night. If he suddenly does not participate in the training that Evan has given, he will be suspected by Evan.

Ernesto must be careful so that Evan doesn't know that he has been suspected by Ernesto, that's why even if it's just training, Ernesto won't just let his enemy go.

Meanwhile, Arsenio, who saw a maid with long silver hair and a pretty face and a fierce look who was in a daze, looking here and there while in the corridor, quickly took the first step. Then, he pushed a maid so that the maid bowed down.

"Ouch..."

Because Ernesto told Arsenio to be natural, like a typical 7-year-old, Arsenio did so. He mounted the maid's body and made the maid his horse.

"Go! Time for us to fight the bosses."

"Eh? Young Lord...is that you?"

The maid, whose name was Helena, was confused as to who was riding her body. She could hear Arsenio's voice, but she couldn't confirm that it was Arsenio. That's why she tried to turn her head.

"That's right... it's you, Young Lord."

"Go! You must walk, my horse."

Helena wanted to refuse that. She didn't want to do that at all, became a horse and crawled, which Arsenio told her to do. She is a woman who will not embarrass herself. However, since this was a request from her lord, she was willing to do so.

She began to crawl.

When she had only crawled 5 meters, she stopped and turned to Arsenio who was lifting the doll.

"Why did you stop?" Arsenio asked.

"I'm sorry, Young Lord, I..."

Helena wanted to say that she was lost, which was why she was in a daze before Arsenio made her a horse, but she felt embarrassed when she said that.

"Could it be..." It seemed that Arsenio had noticed that. "Oh my, Lena, how many times have you been lost."

"I'm sorry, Young Lord."

Helena put on a languid face, feeling guilty for what she had done, lost in her workplace.

Helena very rarely put on a face like that. She was quite assertive as a woman despite having quite a pretty face with that long silver hair. She only gave Arsenio that kind of face for some reason.

"Very well, I will lead you to the right path."

Arsenio's words made Helena happy. She even held her breath because she was finally able to escape from her lost problem. She manages to find her hero, who comes to her and helps her. It was a miracle for her.

"Thank you, Young Lord."

Helena returned to crawling with Arsenio as her guide. She was like a horse ridden by her master, and it looked so ridiculous to her.

However, when she continued to crawl and was led by Arsenio, she did not know that Arsenio was also lost.

They climbed the stairs, leading to the 3rd floor, which shouldn't have been necessary to get there. Then, Helena continued to crawl and became Arsenio's horse along the corridor.

Arsenio quite enjoyed it. He raised the doll-like rifle. He even imagined being on a motorbike in battlefield conditions. It was a lot of fun for him, that's why he enjoyed it even though he realized that his diaper had to be cleaned now.

Helena felt something warm from the moment Arsenio climbed on her back. The warm feeling came from Arsenio's teddy bear being wet because Arsenio had wet his bed. She just felt that and continued to be a horse.

Arsenio is already behaving like a 7-year-old child. He had tried not to show his mature attitude with his petite body. Nothing is striking about him, even the maids think he is a little boy who has a silly attitude. So, he didn't mess up the plan.

Even if he often shows his silly attitude, the maids and servants don't mind it. They seem to accept Arsenio as he is, and even always do what Arsenio wants.

"Lena, try shouting: Hiiyaa," Arsenio ordered.

"But..."

It was a shame for Helena. She wasn't born to scream like that. She was quite a resolute woman, it could even be seen from the look on her face. She is arrogant, indifferent, and cold with people. If a foreign man wooed and approached her, she might put a gun to her forehead—and maybe pull the trigger, killing him. So, shouting "hiiya" like a horse was something to be ashamed of.

"Do it! It's all for the sake of my fallen teddy bear. Do you want to disappoint him?"

"I-I..."

"Do it! With you screaming like that, he will rest in heaven."

"A-Alright, Young Lord. H-H-H-Hiiyaa~."

Her lips trembled, forced to scream like that with her cheeks flushed red, holding back the embarrassment.

"Well, that's my horse. Okay, we're going straight to their armory. Hurry up, this is all out of respect for my teddy bear who died on the battlefield."

"O-Okay."

Oh, what a shame.

Her cheeks were flushed, but she was able to crawl quickly and forget what had happened.

However, she didn't realize that another maid was peeking at what she was doing earlier. It was Cherly, another maid who worked for the De Jansen Family.

"Hehehe... I got something good," Cheryl said, turned, and left after seeing them.

***

After crawling for quite some time, they discovered that in front of them was a wall. In other words, their path was a dead end.

"Young Lord..."

"Umm... this is weird."

Arsenio thought. He thought that there should be a path in front of him, there shouldn't be a wall there.

"Who put up this wall in front of me?" Arsenio asked, remaining in a state of thought.

The wall had been in place since the castle was built. Arsenio was wrong if he thought that someone had put up a new wall there.

"Young Lord..." Helena made sure again that Arsenio didn't lead them astray. "This..."

"Oh, I know. It's time for you to be a bull. You must destroy that wall with your horns, Lena."

"..."

The request was impossible for Helena to accept. She did not have the horns to destroy the wall. When she did that, it wasn't the wall that was destroyed, it was her head.

"Oh, I know. You don't have to be a bull, you just have to be a buffalo."

Isn't that the same?

What Helena said in her mind was true. It seemed that Arsenio wanted a horn to destroy the wall. So, the bull and the buffalo both have horns, which can be used to destroy the wall.

"That's impossible, Young Lord. I may not have horns, but I can-"

Before Helena could finish her sentence, the door to the room behind them opened. Then, a woman appeared there.

"What are you doing there, Helena?" She asked, looking at Helena with an even expression.

It was Franciska, a blonde maid with a charming face.

"Oh, it turned out to be you, Franciska. I was taking the Young Lord for a horse ride," Helena responded arrogantly even though she was on her back.

"Oh, Siska. Why did you get out of there?" Arsenio asked.

"This is my room, Young Lord," Franciska responded politely. "This third floor is the rooms for us, the maids and servants."

Fransciska's words took Helena by surprise.

"Uh..."

Helena was surprised because she didn't realize that she was currently near her room. She didn't notice that at all, even forgetting that the corridor she had just passed was a street she used to walk frequently.

"Could it be..." Franciska could guess what was happening. "You lost again, Helena?"

"No, that's impossible," Helena responded arrogantly. "I told you, I'm currently taking the Young Lord for a horse ride, right? That's pretty much impossible for me. Lost? That's funny."

It was a lie from her that Franciska could tell. Even if she knew that, Franciska wouldn't magnify the problem. So, that's why Franciska changed the subject and carried Arsenio.

"Anyway, lunch will be here soon. You should hurry to the kitchen to prepare lunch."

"I know that. I'll be there later after getting something from my room."

Take what? You're just pretending not to look lost, aren't you?

Franciska realized that. She knew that Helena would not admit it and would continue to reason.

Since it was too much trouble dealing with her friend Helena, Franciska turned her gaze to Arsenio.

"Your diaper wet again, Young Lord? I'll clean it up later. I'll also prepare some pants for you. You just have to wait until lunch comes. Let's change your pants."

Arsenio responded by nodding.

Franciska took him away from there. But before that, Arsenio turned to Helena who was still there.

He saw that Helena still wanted to do that again, playing horse with her. The look on her face showed it all. Therefore, before Arsenio left her, he waved his hand at Helena and said:

"We'll be playing again after lunch. So take good care of your health, my horse."

Those words pleased Helena even though they were words that most women shouldn't expect.

That way, the plan that Ernesto had given to Arsenio, Arsenio didn't do at all. Even Arsenio couldn't remember what he had to do even though he had managed to act like a 7-year-old little boy.
