Chereads / Alpine the servant / Chapter 4 - How I met Vicky

Chapter 4 - How I met Vicky

My mother and father left me to one of Dafya's maids during the summer season because they were going to do their job as servants, serving the emperor of the Manyl capital; the father of the princess that I'm now serving.

Every day, my parents leave me to this maid, who always teaches me about how to become a great butler, but her lessons were kind of boring, so I always escaped from her quietly, roaming the entire castle. I even found that there was a tunnel straight outside the capital, but I was a child back then, so don't be surprised why I went into that tunnel.

As I emerge from the tunnel, I am in a field full of various types of flowers, with only the sound of a fresh breeze passing by. I'm glad I came across it.

As I proceeded to that lovely location, I heard a crying girl, which is the only thing that frightens me. It was because of a story my father told me about it being a bait to lure you into their stomach. Which is ridiculously plausible. Yes, as expected, I slowly retreated to the tunnel, making no noise except for that girl. Her hearing ability is astounding. I was certain that I had made no noise upon my return, but she could hear it! As a result, I dashed away in a cold sweat. But then she exclaimed, "Anya?!" While sobbing, Anya, the maid who teaches me how to be a great butler, caught my attention. "I don't know how to get back!" she exclaimed. That girl has been crying uncontrollably. I pause for a moment and, of course, I will not approach that girl because I am still afraid if she will eat me or not. That field also has tall grass, which is why I can't see her face, and my height is good for boar fights, so I only made a "hello?" sound, which is silly, but hey, I was a child back then, so it's understandable.

She approached me slowly, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Anya?" My eyes sparkled as I saw her face; she has that cute blue hair and eyes, even though she's sobbing. "You," she exhaled heavily through her nose. I was so taken with her beauty that I didn't notice what she said. "You!" she said again, "do you know how to get back?" She questioned me solely to which I replied, "I— I don't know who you are." This is yet another blunder of mine. I lead her into talking nonstop, even though she can shorten it to "I'm from the castle playing hide and seek and found myself in here." At the very least, I know she's from the castle; perhaps she's also one of the king's servant's children. I grab her hand and lead her into her home, but she's crying nonstop! I can't stand it, so I use the magic my father taught me, a neon green thin rope dust lighten leading me back to where I came from, in the darkness of that tunnel. That made her stop crying, and her eyes sparkled. "You can touch it," I said, hoping to impress her with my ability and, more importantly, to demonstrate how cool I am. When she touched the dust, it spread and returned to its original location after a few seconds. Then she had this happy expression on her face as she ran back and forth with her hand in the dust.

"What's your name?" she inquires, her gaze fixed on mine, "ah—ahm Al—alpine, and what about you?" I took a step back in response. "My name is Victoria Dafya, Phine, you can call me Vicky." She responded, acting very close, despite the fact that we had only met a minutes before. But hearing the word Dafya scares me because it means she's the princess of the Manyl, but why does she dress like one of those maid outfits? I quickly act like a butler, but I don't know how to be a good butler because I always skip Anya's lesson "Vicky I—I will lead you into your home" I said, to which she replied, "you can come and play with me, and I'll tell Father to make you my butler phine hehe." She gave me a sweet smile. And after that, I always attend Anya's lessons because I want to be a great butler for her. Sometimes I come play with her, but if I don't play with her for three days, she comes and finds me. She even orders the guards to find me.

"That's all for today little brother" says Alpine

"Woahhh!! So that's how you meet your master" Troy eyes sparkled, "Must be great to serve someone you already knew since you were a child"

"Now that I told you my story little brother... Good night then" Alpine responded as he leaves the large circular bathtub and covered his body with towel.

"Wait wait wait wait! Big brother Alpine. I have a question..do yo—?" Troy questioned as Alpine quickly responded "No..." as he get out of the bathroom.

"So where is my room" Alpine questioned himself. the house is big though two bathroom, one kitchen, one living room, and at the second floor three bedroom. Good thing the young boy pass by, "ahmm young lord do you know where is the bedroom?" Alpine ask but the boy didn't understand a single word of Alpine giving him only a confused look. "Ohh I see" Alpine realize he can't understand elf language so he made an easy sign language he tries his best to make the boy understand but in the end he looked stupid. "Mother! The elf is doing a weird move!" The boy shouted, "my! Tom maybe he only doing some yoga thing from his time that's what your big brother Troy said!" The mother shouting from the kitchen. "Do they understand me?" He amazingly questioned himself. At that time Bell also finished bathing, "what are you doing you.." she said looking into his attempt sign language giving. "I'm explaining where is the bedroom, cool right?!" Alpine responded, "ahh.. no, you just look stupid" she said giving a disgust face to Alpine. She approach the boy holding his mind to transfer her question; "where is our bedroom" then the boy lead them straight to their bedroom.

"Never knew how useful mind reading and transferring thought was" Alpine talk while they walk in the hallway following the child. "It's called TELEKINESIS" Bell respond, "ah... so why didn't you use that in our duel to know my next attack?" Alpine questioned, "I just thought it would be unfair to use that" Bell countered, but the truth is she does, want to lose. "Ehhh I'm strong you know!" Alpine eagerly respond.

They reach their bedroom as they entered they notice that there were only one bed even though it's dark; but it is not really a problem. "I'll be making a nice bed of mine you sleep there" Bell said. The room is of course very future but it does not peek their attention. "How do we light this place?" Questioned Alpine, "no need to light it besides we'll just be sleeping here"

"ohh right..."

They lay at their own bed, silence was made and their eyes still open.

"I can't sleep... Bell tell me. Hows life serving a master like prince Jey?"

"Aaah just sleep already!" Bell respond

"I will repeatedly annoyed you if you won't" Alpine threaten Bell, but still she's silent, which make Alpine do a falling drop of water, a pebble, and he even poke her face using his portal. "Ahhhh!! Okay! Okay! I'll tell you, you annoying piece of crap" says Bell irritated. "Ahh so uhm i—it's hard, he always treat me like a useless pawn..." "But even though his like that.. I could read his mind.. His just unknowledgeable about how to be a prince he thought hurting others means you're a great king.... That's all now please let me sleep peacefully", "ehh?!" Alpine responded wanting to learn more about their bond but bell threaten Alpine "If you do that again I'll not hesitate killing you" which makes Alpine gulp and just went to sleep.
