After an hour, the sun rised, breaking the dark night.
The boy was still sitting in chair watching through the window as the morning light shined at him.
The boy's gaze wqs unfocused and dull, making him look like a statue. Completely devoid of emotion.
It was like his soul had left his body and an empty shell remained. It was an eerie sight for anyone to see.
Suddenly the door moved slowly opened. A head peeking through door.
A teenage girl with a maid outfit, Her red hair was tied neatly in a pony tail. Her eyes clear like deep blue sea. She was beauty with a youthful charm.
"Young Master? Are you alright?" Her voice was clear and soothing like cold water.
The young master twitched as his souls seems to return to his body.
His previously dull and unfocused eyes suddenly turned into a piercing gaze.
He turned around and studied the maid.
****
Basil looked at the girl from head to toe, while the maid was clearly embarrassed as she felt that piercing gaze, she felt bare from the Young master's eyes.
"Gorgeous. " Basil suddenly praised.
The girl's current red face turned even redder.
"I don't deserve such praise, young master." The maid's head lowered even futher.
After a moment of silence, Nobody spoke after she had said it, The maid was confused for the young master's bizarre attidude.
She slowly raised her head to peek but the Basil is still looking at her silently.
Confusion sprouted inside the maid's mind.
'What is going on? Why is he not speaking? Is there something wrong with me? Did I did something wrong?'
"Who am I?" The boy suddenly said, breaking the maid's pessimistic thoughts.
"Pardon?" Ask the maid just to make sure she didn't misheard.
"Who am I?" the boy repeated.
"Are you okay, young master?" The maid worriedly walked towards him and touched his forehead.
"I am fine, It was just I don't remember anything." The young master said.
The maid was shocked... He doesn't remember anything!
"What do you mean? what happened to you young master?" The maid cried out!
Giving Basil quite a fright.
"Why are you asking me, I don't even remember anything." The young master calmly said.
"Do you know who I am?" The maid asked
"No, I don't really remember anything." Basil insisted that he didn't remember anything.
"Young Master, I am Lillian, your personal maid..." The maid introduces herself while bowing.
'Why do I have a personal maid who hates me?' Suspicion started to sprout inside Basil's mind.
Just when the maid entered the room, a notification suddenly rang out Basil's mind.
1 Hate point gained.
'This girl's acting is really top notch, if I don't have the system I wouldn't not expect that this bitch hates me." Basil silently cursed inside his head and it really made him frown just thinking about it.
The maid saw Basil suddenly frowned, making her nervous for some weird reasons.
"Young Master, why are you frowning? Did I do something wrong?" The maid nervously asked him.
"Yes, something is wrong with you..." Basil deeply said and carried a little bit of killing intent causing the maid to feel a chill inside her heart.
'What happened to him!!! This is not like him at all! Her body froze in her spot.'
"Young Master, What is wrong with me?" The maid spoke it with more nervousness.
Basil didn't answer but just looked at her with many thoughts occurring inside his head.
After a while, Basil suddenly talked. Breaking the cold silence.
"Why are you just standing there? Inform them now that I have woken up." After ordering her, he looked towards the window again, not looking at her.
'What happened to the young master?' The maid was really confused but she obeyed his orders.
***
After a while, three knocks were heard and an old raspy voice calling out.
"Young Master, I am going in." The door was opened and an old man was going inside.
It was the same old butler that went searching for the Young master.
"What happened, young Master? Lillian said that you don't remember anything." The old man asked in a raspy voice.
Basil looked towards the butler, studying him.
"Indeed, I don't remember anything." Basil saying it all over again.
"What happened, Young Master?" Ask the same question of the maid.
"Silly old man, why ask me? I don't even remember anything, I should have asked you, What happened to me, Why I couldn't remember anything."
The old man was clearly surprised but he quickly calmed his heart, with hundreds of thoughts going through his head.
Both went into silence, a boy and an old man looking at each other.
"Young Master, do you remember who you are?" Butler is asking a silly question.
Basil is really annoyed right now. 'WHY DOES HE NEED TO REPEAT HIMSELF!! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!!' (Even though he already knows the name of this body.)
"Why do I need to repeat myself? Are you deaf or something? I don't remember anything about myself or you?" He snappily said.
The butler was clearly surprised at his young master's attitude, clearly this is not like him at all. The attitude he knew of his young master was elegant, kind and very cheerful person, who doesn't really get angry about almost everything, even if he is sad or faced with an obstacle, He will always answer them with a smile.
For him, what is the point of being angry or worried about it? In the end, if we fail or succeed, it is all up to destiny. Just dying without regrets is enough.
But now, something is clearly different from his young master. His personality is very different from before. Did something happen to the young master? That caused his personality to change.
"I am sorry, young master." the old butler apologized.
"We don't know what happened to you, young master? We found you in Lover's forest with all of your body covered in blood but when we checked on your body, you just suffered from minor injuries and didn't suffer from any internal injuries. " The old butler explained that as he studied the expression of the young master, he saw a surprised expression.
"Oh." The young master's expression suddenly turned into a blank one...
'So basically they found me in Lover's forest. Lover's forest... What a weird name for a forest, but anyway, why was the previous owner of this body found there? System, did the previous owner of this body die from what?' Basil asked the system.
"Host, the previous owner of this body didn't die from anything but rather he is heavily injured, his body was heavily injured but his soul is the one who suffered the worst injuries. An injury that is harder to heal than stage four cancer."
"So when I thought he would die, I thought that I should let you eat his soul for you to get his memories but I was clearly wrong, when I came contact to his soul, He strongly struggled and managed to escape from my grasp, he stood up and went for the run!"
I, of course, went to chase him! Even if he was really injured, he was still extremely fast, it took me a couple of minutes just to reach him but when I managed to catch his soul again, It was still extremely strong even it was injured, So even I managed to captured his soul, it would be really pointless as your soul is pretty much can't match his soul, The one who will be eaten is you! So it's really pointless to keep it, so I throw his soul out from faraway so he couldn't return to this body and I immediately merge your soul to this body and heal it.
The only problem is that we don't have much information in our hands." The system explained that giving Basil quite a shocker but he immediately pondered all the information the system provided.
The old butler saw the young master's blank expression, turned into a dull one, his eyes unfocused.
The butler just stayed there, waiting for the boy to react again and after a few minutes, the young master's finally reacted
The expression of the young master turned into a calm one.
"Old man, Who am I?" The boy suddenly asked.
The butler really had questions inside his head but he decided to keep it to himself and just honestly answered the question.
"Young Master of House Bloodwing, The House's most talented youth and in the entire Konozia empire, the youth who killed a Demon Lord, and the fiance of the crowned princess of Konozia empire.
Kyln Haine Bloodwing"
Causing Basil to feel he was struck by the lighting!
'I'm damn f*cked up!'
