Andrei sat on the castle window and stared out. He constantly glanced at the basement of another castle rather far away. It was Butler Salter's living quarters.
Andrei suddenly sighed to himself and got up from the window. He mumbled to himself for a while before proceeding to walk towards the door of the castle.
'It seems that they will be taking action soon' Andrei thought. He picked up his walking pace and looked as though he was sliding down the stairs. He soon reached a blue door. He immediately pushed it open and entered the room.
'Andrei~You're back!' A sweet voice travelled across the room. The next second, two arms were wrapped around Andrei's body. It was the Young Master, Frost. Frost was the same age as Andrei, five year-old. He was a very kind boy, which was very rare considering the fact that he came from such a noble family.
Frost dragged Andrei to his bed and made him sit down. 'Did you manage to get it?' Frost asked in anticipation, holding his two hands out. Andrei chuckled. He reached into his pocket and took out a small cloth containing many things. Andrei passed it to Frost in which he quickly opened the wrapped up cloth.
There were many small treats and Frost wasted no time nibbling on the cakes. Andrei smiled upon seeing how excited Frost was.
There was only one person Andrei wished to protect and that was Frost. Frost was the only one who was willing to pick him up from the streets and nurture him. Andrei was abandoned by his parents when he was young and was forced to live on his streets on his own. It was Frost who helped him and Andrei would do anything to repay this favour. After all, Frost was the only one who showed him kindness in the world.
Seeing Frost was well, Andrei started to walk out of the room.
'Andrei, are you not staying here longer?' Frost asked. Andrei said nothing, only shaking his head. Frost made a disappointed expression and started pouting. Andrei sighed and patted Frost's head.
'Don't worry, I will come back soon.' With that, Andrei left.
His next destination was the Duke's personal chamber. The Duke's chamber was around five times as big as Frost's. His had a more majestic appearance which fitted his appearance. Duke Arthur was a huge, muscular man. Most of the time, he wore a red armour with a giant sword the same size as him by his side.
An interesting fact that Andrei noticed about Duke Arthur was that whenever he was angry, he would start rubbing the tip of his sword.
Upon reaching reaching the Duke Arthur's chamber, Andrei knocked on it a few times and the door opened on its own, in which Andrei calmly walked in. Andrei bowed down at the sight of Duke Arthur and started making his report.
'Butler Salter will be making his move in a year at the Royal Banquet celebrating the Queen's birthday.' Andrei reported. Duke Arthur paused for a while before nodded his head and passed Andrei a letter, disappearing behind the curtains.
Andrei bowed again and walked out of the room.
'Oh yes, before I forget, Andrei, in a week, you will be going to Nixon Magic Academy with Frost as his study companion.' Duke Arthur informed. Andrei stopped in his tracks for a while before continuing with walking out of the chamber.
