Chapter 24 - Endure 2

Hyemi,

The first family first son,

The sound of panic filled footsteps were suddenly heard; follow this soon after, by the sound of harsh breathing, then the appearance of a male servant who then after his greetings rushed to say breathlessly from the other side of the door.

"First young master, the third family's first young master Tau, he... He is crying," Castries felt his twin hearts squeeze from fear. Clenching his fist, he slipped deeper into the shadows to watch the reaction of his master. From the vein that pulsed upon his forehead alone, Castries knew that his master was on the verge of losing it, immediately Castries thought to himself; perhaps if he brought the first madam...

Hyemi, on the other hand, snapped feeling his annoyance continue to rise, threatening to overflow beside his pulsing vein his exterior showed no other telltale signs of his rising anger, even when he spoke to the servant his own voice did not betray him.

"So? He is a Pingui allow him to cry!"

"No, he has signs of-" the servant could not help but tremble in fear as he spoke those last words. The first family's first young master. Even though he looked aloof as he normally did, he seemed to strike an almost paralyzing fear within him.

It was even worse when he snapped again. Truly, the servant wished to flee!

"what! Spit it out!"

the servant flinched before replying in a small trembling voice.

"He has signs of elemental power and something else... "

"Find her! Find her immediately before the boy loses control of himself!"

Hyemi roared, disappearing in a blink of an eye using his sun steps.

As a body training master who had already mastered several techniques, he could move so fast it seemed as if he teleported.

A while later he found the girl in question who was drenched in her own sweat walking in his direction, her clothing though acceptable gave Hyemi the almost uncontrollable urge to rush towards her and wrap her entire form into something that would hide her from head to toe.

For a moment Hyemi found himself becoming dazed from looking at the small girl of eight approaching him. Wondering if he had somehow sunk into the depths of depravity.

Catlike eyes wide and innocent in her face, narrow forehead, wide cheeks and chin with the small dent in the middle of the area emphasising the upper area of her face somehow balancing it out.

Together Guai was a beauty even with such dark skin and the lack of hair, but an innocent like beauty. This with the beads of sweat...

Hyemi allowed those thoughts to trail off, then spoke in his usual tone of voice.

"Guai, Tau is-"

"Guai greets first brother...thank you, first brother, I will head immediately to him,"

after her courtesy, greetings and thanks, Hyemi watched Guai who had cut him off mid-sentence stare at him with those pretty wide eyes of her's,

"mmm," Hyemi said, understanding that Guai had been only waiting for his acknowledgement before turning in a rush to the child she only showed due care to.

why is it that this little girl only focused on him?

could she not show as much care to him as well?

For a moment so brief it seemed like a mere illusion viciousness flashed across Hyemi's face before disappearing quickly, clenching his fist and schooling his features Hyemi walked away.

Endure.

Hyemi must continue to simply endure.

"Guai, when you are old enough, my frustration, fury and dislike for you, will be vented. I don't care what occurs in the past, but you must later pay for all of these spiralling emotions!" Hyemi growled in his mind, using his sun step Hyemi left.
