Chereads / Lady Isabelle / Chapter 10 - "The book of mythical creatures?"

Chapter 10 - "The book of mythical creatures?"

Andrew is sitting in library of the Castle.

There is a huge staircase in the library, which goes up to the top of the library, and a big blue chandelier in the centre of the library and mini waterfall blue chandelier around it in a near distance, each mini waterfall chandelier was scattered in a same distance from the centre one. Big curve windows and it's blue curtains were open, letting the sunlight reaching the staircase and landing on the red carpet, giving it a refreshing look.

The books were arranged according to its alphabet (A–Z). Shelf connected to the ceiling.

There was a time when he was completed lost in the huge library, but thanks to the stairs, he found his way. He moved his fingers, sliding across the shelf full of books.

Reaching his way up, he found a small open room in the end of staircase, bonded by big railings, a luxurious coach with a small stool beside it and a other medium sized table in the middle which was made of hard dark brown wood.

He came closer to the railing of the staircase and looked down. 'I will die, if I fall down from here, a horrifying dead' it must be 4 stories high'

Alone in a big library, he thought of travelling around for a little time being. His jaw dropped noticing a pile of books on the table and wondered to himself 'if the lady had read all of it'.

In his curiosity, he came close and read the titles of the books, but one book caught his interest and it was 'The Mythical Creatures'...It had a purple feather inside as a bookmark, the lady must be reading this book 'she must be curious about the unknown creatures'

After some minutes of silence, he opened the book to read, the writing seemed old, the pages turned yellow due to the passed time.

The book had information about werewolves, vampires, demons and many more.

The book had steps about,

How to kill such creatures.

How to tame them.

Where they can hide in the morning, or when they are the strongest, and many more like this.

Andrew was lost in reading, but a voice from behind took his attention.

"Do you not love your life?" Someone's voice came form behind a shelf warning Andrew.

The voice belonged to a man, but it was more like a female.

Then out of nowhere a appearance came in front of him, surprised Andrew backed a little and fell on his butt.

"WHAT ARE YOU!!?" in fear and surprise, Andrew yelled like his life was on bet.

"How rude!! don't you have manners, young boy"

After some exchange glances.

That man made a expression like he found something really catchy and interesting.

That man pointed his finger at Andrew and expressed.

"Wait a minute–

Oh,

Ohhhh,

you must be the new pet, the servants are talking about!!"

'pet?' Andrew wondered to himself and looked down on his hands like he was making sure that he is a human not a animal for making pets.

Andrew stood up on his feets.

"Lady Isabelle is treating you like a special person, but it does not gives you the right to read her books or enter her private places" That man changed his expression into a very strict teacher.

"What are you talking about? Me a pet and being special"

"You don't know?"

"What?"

"Yeah, a fool like you won't understand that"

Andrew and that man sat down beside the shelf, leaning their backs on it.

The man had short black hair with pink strips and long eyelashes like a female, his hair combed from one sided, his face holding heavy makeup, he wears square glasses and star shaped earrings, got thick lips like a pretty woman, his body slim, much more slimmer than a normal girl. He had a mole under his chin.

That man had a female like vibe.

Everything he did was like a high noblewomen.

His movements, his way of talking, everything was like a elegant noblewomen.

"Are you a– girl?" Andrew asked innocently, pointing at his chest.

"....."

"What are you trying to make out, PERVERT!!!!!?" That man with a female like vibe screamed.

"NO

NO, I am not a pervert, I was just CURIOUS"

Andrew crossed his hands in a cross shape, denying.

"CURIOUS???????"

The man's voice got more loud in shock.

After more passing minutes.

"You should not enter Lady Isabelle's private room or check her things, she is a very respected woman in the kingdom and outside the kingdom, her status is higher than the king"

"Forgive me, I understand"

Andrew wanted to know him more.

"And–"

"Santiago, kid"

"Huh?"

"You want to know my name right?"

Andrew nod in reply.

"And–"

Andrew tried to spell out his name again.

"I already know your name, silly"

"HUH?" he was surprised.

"Yes, congrats, you are famous inside the castle and outside the castle

"How come, I am famous?"

"Mhhh, you are famous because Lady Isabelle adores you a lot, –fool"

"The lady adores me?"

"You don't go again with your innocent look like you really don't know anything"

Andrew frowned,

"You didn't notice!!?" In surprise, he stood up, leaving Andrew sitting there, Santiago walked around the library.

"You are really a fool!! Stupid"

From the shelf Santiago grabs himself a book.

"Guess, Lady is going to summon me soon"

Andrew got up and followed Santiago,

"What are you mumbling? Santiago"

Closing the book with a 'slam'

Santiago was reading, standing by the shelf and questioned Andrew in a aggressive tone.

"How old are you?, kid"

"I am 16 and I am not a kid"

Andrew pouted his lips in disagreement.

"Oh you don't want to be called a kid then how about baby because you are only 16" Santiago said in a joking tone and laughed loudly alone in the big library.

Done with his loud laugh, he became serious and asked the same question.

"16!!!? You are 16?" – he turned his gaze away from Andrew and walked a few steps while keeping his hand on his month like he can't believe what he just heard from Andrew.

"16? You have a reason to stop calling me by my name and even if you are calling me by my name where is the lord in it?"

"Sorry, Lord Santiago"

"Good" Satisfied Santiago nod his head, crossing his hands in the back like an old man.

"You sure are a baby, Andrew, but I still don't understand why Lady Isabelle adores you–

He stopped in his steps.

Are you from kouvosto village?"

"Yes, my lord"

Andrew nod his head.

"Did you notice anything weird there?"

Santiago questioned him.

"No, my lord"

Kouvosto village is in the eastern kingdom, and many weird, strange things are occurring there.

Like murders, monsters and now a strange fire.

.....

"what do you mean that Master Andrew is not here?"

The butler asked.

"I searched every single corner, but I can't find Master Andrew"

The maid reported to Butler.

"Magic is also useless, and how?"

The butler mumbled in worry.

"Lord Santiago, he was with you the whole time"

The butler turning around to Lord Santiago asked.

"yes"

Lord Santiago replied.

"Then, where is he?"

The butler questioned him.

"you know if we won't be albe to find Master Andrew, we all will be in trouble, do you realise that?"

The butler again questioned Lord Santiago.

"Yes, I realise that, but, I don't know where he is, he just went outside for a second and then he did not come back"

Lord Santiago said proofing his innocence.

"you will be suspected for kidnapping, Lord Santiago"

The butler warned him.

"we will let the lady know that his father came and took Master Andrew with him"

The maid suggested.

"What are you saying, do you know that when the lady will enter, she will soon realise that something wrong happened here, when the lady was not present in the castle"

The butler said.

"I heard that in this castle, she has eyes and ears in every statue built in this castle"

Another maid said scared, looking around herself.

Every corner and every room was decorated with statues.

All statues seemed like they were watching at them, their every movement.

Everyone in the castle, panicked watching her carriage entering the Castle.
