Epilogue
Derek couldn't help himself peeping through the lady's closet. He heard this grim of pleasure that whatever his thoughts spoke of he would humbly comply to.
What more could a boy in his early ten seek other than his motherly presence?
"Derek..!" The court maid yelled after striking him momentarily on his long white hair that was parked gracefully way above his head.
Derek cursed at the pain of the impact as he held to the spot with whatever might her had.
"What are you doing here..?"
"That hurts.." without a reply, he let out a frown that wrinkled his facial features. His wrinkles found their way shaping his muscular short face.
"Derek..! I have warned you never to be present anywhere in the ladies changing room or even their closet." Madam Lee refrained from speaking more eloquently with him as she pulled him by the ear far towards the outskirts of the bricky red furnishings.
With an abundance of argument, the clear blue sky that roamed over their horizon heads cried chilled frost.
"Uhh, look it's snowing" Again Derek's amusing surprise shakes madam lee from her nonstop quarry.
"Mm." She signed and turned to the young boy who just walked past her without a guarantee of letting go. "Derek..- uhh, it's snowing." Her awareness became known.
"Yes, it is," Derek said with a peal of laughter that exposed his freshly grown teeth, with the wailing of his hands throughout the sky his palm caught foamy frosts that melted momentarily.
"This is an unusual phenomenon. Unless.-" Madam lee said when a tranquilizer sound blew through the trumpets of the higher guards who stood post at the apex of the castle.
"What's the sound for..? Madam lee." With Derek's mind all concerned again about the whole situation, madam lee's eyes stood in shock as her mouth murmured.
"A nine-tailed Fox is borne."
"Hmm, nine-tailed fox. Is it that bad?" With curiosity, the boy standing right next to madam lee from behind kept giving that grim that put her in a tough spot.
"A hunt would be sent out. Umm, you've got to head back to the palace Your highness." Madam lee bowed immediately and excused herself.
"Uhm.."Derek mumbled under his voice but it was no use as madam lee was nowhere to be found anymore.
Her trails were out of the question as it seemed like she disappeared out of Derek's eyes.
With a confused gesture, he turned back and forth as he lost interest in finding her anyway. Tossing the stone beside his leg, he yelled at the sharp cut it placed on his toe.
"Aish. I hate today"

TEN YEARS LATER
DEREK'S POV
From ten years back I never saw madam lee anywhere near the palace anymore. She never came back or even tried to check on me.
I was very lonely from that day forth. Anyway am in my early twenties now and I find it quite fun because I had a lot of opportunities to my self; like having to host parties, peeing at my most convenient spot,
Mmm, Yeah sometimes around the female spots. I didn't know why but I found it fun.
I was this wayward child, after all, I had no one to take care of me. After my mother died, madam lee took over but where was she now?
Mm, Now where?
I drank through the big jar of alcohol as the ladies couldn't help themself but found me, cute and very attractive.
I had the manly muscular shape no doubt but my face was more attractive than my bodily form. With my white hair royally chipped up, my eyes found their way displaying my tiny eyeballs with bags lagging right underneath them.
My lip was halfway shaped red as my nose curved foamy.
"Mmm, your highness, would you stay with us for the night..?" One of the ladies assigned to me whispered beneath me.
With approval, they kept rubbing and placing their hands on my chest whenever they found it pleasing. With their flirting eyelid, they winked constantly at me.
The reddish loony sun finally made it's way to bed. The whole climate turned dark. In most houses the light was right about time to go off.
Ours anyway stood lit because it was my choice of preference and I found it hard to sleep without the light on.
"Your highness.." The ladies kept calling to my name but I pretended to be fast asleep as my hand crossed over my eyes.
"Awwwn, he's soo hot when he sleeps.." The other said and got hit from another. They were three in number as they kept chatting.
"We weren't sent here to admire him. Get your acts together."
"Ohh sorry, keep watch on him. Keep watch on him until he falls asleep." Back to the other that kept the word as something to be chorused about.
Neither one of them had the glimps of idea that I wasn't asleep yet and wait what..?
Watch me fall asleep..? What was that suppose to mean.? Who gave the order..?
I had many questions but I wasn't ready to quit my act but play along.
As the rickets in the room whistled louder they decided to make their leave for the outside.
As the door opened and clutched back, my eyes opened up. Breathing out I sneaked behind to find who was behind all of the watch-out.
The three maidens wore a black dark cover ups immediately and started trailing towards the dark loamy woods.
On entry they stopped at the site of a lady who appeared right in front of them from the woods.
"Mission accomplished, ma'am. He's fast asleep already." With their heads bowed they echoed to the lady in front of them.
Smiles lingering along her lips she decided to pull off her cover.
Huh..? It..it..it
Was Madam Lee after all.
She sent them. She had been watching me. I couldn't help myself as I felt so much uneasy.
Didn't know why but I wanted madam lee to know that I was aware so I showed out from my hidden spot and whaled..
"Madam Lee.." hearing me she got caught in shock.
"Madam Lee.." I took a step and she moved back as the maiden ran along into the woods.
"What.." With her hands around her mouth she also ran through the woods.
"Huh, wait up. Madam Lee.." I whaled and chased after her.
