Asshole Harold

Meanwhile Tobin had time to reflect on his life after Naomi had left him. He knew for sure he wasn't suppose to do anything with Naomi but she looked very excited to be around him. She was surprise at how nice he was to her. It made Tobin wonder if guys were not nice to their women in this era.

He noticed how all her anger vanished the moment he he displayed niceness to her. He even went the extra mile of planting a kiss on her forehead when she was going. He didn't know if he should have done that but was sure he was not suppose to allow her go just like that if he wanted her to believe he was Lord Harold or so he thought. He expected that Lord Harold would be nice to her but then he would have to draw the line between their relationship. He would not want to touch her since she was already betrothed to the real Harold. But what man would miss the important detail of having a betrothed.

His stomach suddenly grumbled and he remembered that he was hungry again. This whole adventure started with that fact that he wanted to get something to eat but since he has been too occupied that he didn't remember his hunger.

He picked himself lazily from the bed making up his mind to go outside his room to get something to eat. He didn't know how long Tyre or Calvin would take befor coming back. He thought of changing his outfit first to suit his present situation. He recongise what looked like a wardrop at one far end of his room and went to it. On opening it all what he saw were long black robe like the one he was putting on.

"Does the man wear nothing else apart from these? Tobin asked in frustration as he looked around hoping to see something casual to wear. And why were all the robes black. What kind of sense of dressing does he have? Tobin questioned himself as he slammed the wardrope in frustration.

He was shocked to see Calvin standing in his room and he almost jumped out of skin. Wondering how he entered without making a noise. But he quickly composed himself.

"Lord Harold are you having any difficulty? Calvin asked looking at him. Tobin felt he was better composed this time. As he was now daring enought to stare at him while speaking.

"Yes, let's start with the clothes. Is there nothing apart from this for me to wear? Tobin asked.

"No my Lord, these are you best outfits. You have your tailor specially make only this for you" Calvin replied

"I will definitely need a change of clothes. I can't stay in this cloak for three days. " Tobin concluded in his heart.

"What about food, I am hungry "Tobin complained rubbing his hand on his stomach as he remembered his primary source of concern.

"Your food is being prepared specially by your betrothed, she asked the servants not to assist as she insist on making something special for you. That is why it is taking some time. I must confessed that Lady Naomi looked very happy after coming out of your room. Have you finally accepted her? Calvin asked almost reluctantly hoping he didn't cross his boundary.

Since their return from the hut he also noticed a change in his master. The aura around him had changed and Calvin could feel he was more approachable now. He feels the hut had some kind of magic that brought about this better side of his master. His suspicion was confirmed when Lady Naomi asked him where they have been to.

Before he could even explain it to the best of his ability she had dismissed him. He heard her say something like she doesn't even care to know as far the place finally made Lord Harold see her differently now.

"Tell me about Naomi, have I been unfair to her? Tobin asked

"My Lord, I wouldn't put it that way. Everyone knew for many years she has been trying her best to make you love her but you have never brought yourself to. According to you love was for the weak" Calvin replied.

Tobin could already pick what he needed from his answer. It was obvious Calvin was being careful not to answer him directly. Lord Harold must have really been an asshole to his betrothed. While for the time he was going to be around he would try to change that narrative but also try not to crosee any line.

"Calvin I will need you to do me a favour, I want you to give me run down on everyone in this house right now and what Lord Harold, I mean what I was befor I entered that Hut"

"Don't be shy come closer and sitdown with me" Tobin invited him to a single chair in his room.

If he was going to move outside the room he would need to know what to expect
