Chapter 8 - [Arc 1]Chapter 7

Casper Lawrence Landon's POV

CLAKLINK

A figure cleaned the cup that was in his hand. The figure sighed as he reminisced the past few month's events.

'Lately, the Young Master is behaving peculiarly.', the figure named 'Casper' sighed. Casper's mood was slightly gloomy, enough for his big sister - Isabella Isla Landon - to notice his displeasure.

"Mhm? Something wrong, Caspy?", he heard his big sister say while leaning towards him. Seeing how his big sister refered to him as 'Caspy' and not 'Head Butler' made him sigh even deeper.

"...Head Butler.", he muttered while pouting.

"Hmm? What did you say, Caspy?", his sister questioned as she tilted her head.

"I said! Refer to me as 'Head Butler'!", he screamed towards his big sister, which then his big sister replied with:

"No way. 'Caspy' is Caspy no matter where or who he is.", she instantly replied, which left Casper speechless.

'Her face is beautiful, but her head is a bit too empty.', Casper muttered in his head.

"So?", Isabella tilted her head while she was questioning him.

"So, what?", Casper blurted out.

"So, what's wrong?", she questioned even further.

"Oh, that.", Casper thought while bumping his fist with his palm.

"Yes, 'that'.", his sister teased smugly, which made him want to punch her. Casper sighed and then began to explain.

"Recently, the Young Master has been behaving oddly."

"Odd, how so?", his sister questioned.

"Recently he's been going to the [Spirit's Gazebo] in the northern east.", he explained.

"Wait! He can go there?", Bella's eyes practically sparkled as she sipped her hot chocolate. When Casper noticed that she was drinking on the job, he creased his eyebrow but decided to forgive her.

"Yes, and it also seems that his [Haki Aura] is getting stronger."

"By the gods... Do you mean the spirits are actually helping him get stronger?", excitedly looked at her younger brother.

Casper shook his head, as he reminisced his time questioning the spirits.

Casper himself was part Head Butler because of his immaculate expertise and the wide part was because, unlike many others, Casper can freely contact the spirits.

"No.", he said.

"No?", she once again questioned.

"The spirits said that he just dips his feet in the lake and falls asleep."

"Now, that's weird.", Bella said worriedly.

"How long has this been going on for?", Bella asked.

"Around three months."

"Three months?!", Isabella shrieked as she was immediately heading to inform her Master and Madams, which then she was caught by the neck and picked up like a cat.

"Let me go!", Bella tried to free herself while Casper began to continue the conversation.

"I've already told the Master and Madams.", he calmly explained.

"And then?", Bella questioned even further to get a more accurate explanation.

"Then, they laughed and spouted conversations about how he's a genius while so young."

"How, so?", his sister pondered.

"No idea."

BEEP... BEEP BEEP... BEEP...

CLICK

"Time for me to go.", Casper said as he straightened his attire and commenced leaving, which the his younger sister simply exclaimed:

"See you later, Caspy."

'So it's still Caspy, is it?', Casper wondered.

As both figures proceeded to leave their position they didn't notice one thing, and if they did notice then they did a pretty good job at not responding.

"So, that's what big brother is doing."

Sammuel Madeline Quartz's POV

"So, that's what big brother is doing.", Sam thought as he puffed his cheeks.

Sam Madeline Quartz. 1 year old and 4 months old, or to be more precise 18 months old in total, since 1 year is equal to 14 months.

Oh, while we're at it let me explain how time works in Lishiana - za warudo/ the world - and their names.

How time works in Lishiana:

30 days in a month

24 hours in a day

60 minutes in an hour

60 seconds in a minute

6 days in a week

5 weeks in a month

14 months in a year

420 days in a year.

Also, before I the 'narrator' explain what the days are, I'll first explain this. The world of Lishiana is far larger than earth, and the only reason that time is similar is because Lishiana orbits the sun faster. Now then, back to explaining the days.

There 6 days in a week and these are the names:

Day of Light

Day of Fire

Day of Water

Day of Wind

Day of Earth

Day of Dark

Now that's done, onward with the story.

"Muu...", Sam pouted as he walked down the stairs. The maids - Viola and Leila - saw Sam's behaviour and blushed and they huddled together.

"So... CUTE!", Viola screamed while whispering.

"I know, right?!", Leila agreed.

Viola cleared her throat and walked towards Sam and lowered her vision to his.

"What's wrong, Young Master?", Viola asked Sam.

"Muu... Big-bro Ray is ignoring me.". Sam complained.

Hearing this, Viola made eye contact with Leila and they simultaneously had the exact same thought:

'So, CUTE!'

"Ahem...", Viola cleared her throat and proceeded to give advice to Sam. "Maybe, you should wait for him and then follow him to play."

"I try to, but he always disappears! And when I find him he's always laying in the grass and says 'Just enjoy life lil'bro '.", he explained.

Just when Viola was going to give advice towards Sam, she heard footsteps and then curtsied towards her Master.

"Then, why don't you get stronger?", a masculine voice responded towards Sam's displeasure.

"Stronger? Why?", Sam tilted his head.

Seeing Sam tilt his head he chuckled and then explained:

"It's because recently your brother has been training himself to become stronger. If you both are aiming to be stronger then you should be able to spend more time with him.", Marquis Ernest Harold La Quartz explained.

"Is that right?!", Sam's eyes sparkled as he was given an idea that lit a fire between his eyes. Ernest chuckled and began to explain even further:

"If you want to become even stronger and spend more time with Ray then you should become as strong as him, so your on the same level.", He explained.

CLAP CLAP

Ernest clapped his hands and then a mini robot exposed itself in thin air.

"Take this. If you ask it how to become stronger then, it'll pave a way for you. It has a multifunctional AI with multiple guides on how to cultivate power."

"Multifunctional?", Sam tilted his head.

"Just think of it as a really smart friend.", Ernest sighed.

"Okay! Follow me, Muli!", Sam shouted with a smile as he headed towards his room.

Ernest looked at this and had one thought:

"Such cute boys."
