Late in the morning of the next day. Everything was ordinary, The Zarx manner was bustling with daily activities, Maids were sweeping the corridors, the Gardner was caring for the plants, and The Garrison soldiers were shouting 'Ha' 'Ha' in a specific rhythm during their training. The temperature was above average because of the summer even though it was the morning. The chef was preparing for breakfast. The Lord of the manner, 'Ron Von Zarx' was in his office going through some paperwork.
Suddenly he frowned after reading a specific paper. The reason was that one of the Zarx Family's businesses was raided by an unknown bandit group. he crushed the paper in anger. he yelled.
"Anyone there?"
A guard came in and bowed respectfully.
"Go find Sebastian and The Garrison commander, and have them come here!"
The guard left and shortly after Sebastian come in with the garrison commander.
Sebastian was as exactly as you would imagine a butler to be. broad visage, and a very elegant demeanor, he was wearing the Butler's coat over a white shirt, he had a sharp pair of eyes. At first glance, you would think the old man must be of aristocratic standards but the scars on his hands told another story entirely.
On the other hand, Mark Roxy who is also the Garrison commander of the Zarx Family looked rather simple, He wore armor and had a sword hanging on his waist. He was a Rank 6th Warrior.
On the Amaron Continent, Warriors And Mages were divided into 10 ranks. The first 3 being 'beginner', later four were 'intermediate', And the last 3 were 'high'. After that, there is the 'Demi-God' Level which has 3 stages, and finally the Godhood Stage. For a Family to have a Rank 6th Warrior as a Garrison commander was considered pretty good. Of course, every family had its trump cards and Secret forces which were a lot stronger.
"My Lord" Both bowed.
"Our Business was raided again! this is the third time this has happened! How dare they!"
"The investigation is ongoing, My Lord. currently, we have found out that the bandits are not what they appear to be." Sebastian said.
Ron raised his eyebrows, he asked,
"What do you mean by this?"
"My Lord, The bandits have high-quality equipment. otherwise, how can they win against our guards?" Mark said.
"What do you mean?"
"I think that someone is instigating them to attack our businesses."
"Did you find out who it is?" Ron asked narrowing his eyes.
"Forgive me, we haven't found it yet. they ran away as soon as the reinforcements were about to come. We have caught some of them but they don't know anything."
"Damn it! what a bother! increase the security for now. We will deal with them later.... by the way, what about the other matter?"
"My Lord, We tried many times, but in vain."
"It's been two years now, why did he suddenly go into a coma?
an illness? Impossible! my son would never be this weak! This matter is not so simple, but we can't find anything."
"Forgive me, My Lord, I couldn't protect the Young Lord." Sebastian and Mark said in unison.
Seeing his loyal subordinates, Ron's heart was somewhat softened, He said.
"It's not your fault, he is the only heir to this family! we must wake him up, we must!"
At that moment, a scream came from Rudra's room.
"My Lord! My Lord!! The Young Lord is reacting! come fast!"
An uproar arose in the mansion. Everyone's eyes went wide with surprise. They ran towards Rudra's bedroom.
~~~~~
- A few minutes ago.
Rudra's bedroom was quiet. he was sleeping soundly in his room like always. Suddenly the door opened and a 14-Year-old Maid came in. She had black hair, fair skin, and a petite body, her bosom was small but it certainly had potential.
The Young Maid looked at Rudra, complicated emotions flashed in her eyes before quickly disappearing. At first, she did not think highly of him, he was arrogant and rude. he would not talk much with others as if it was beneath him to do that, At least that's what she had thought. But one day he suddenly collapsed and did not wake up even after two years. As Time passed she realized that even though he was arrogant he was not evil like those 'Young Masters' of other noble families. She also realized that he was very hardworking, people around him gave him the title 'Genius' but in reality. He had to work hard for it, and perhaps that's why he did not like to speak much. Now she only prayed that her Young Lord would wake up as soon as possible. Thinking of this she remembered when Rudra had told everyone in the mansion to call him 'Young Lord' and not 'Young Master' because he did not want to be associated with those 'Young Masters', she chuckled thinking about it.
After dozing off a little she began to do what she came for, she first cleaned all the furniture in the room to the point that it began shining, then she began sweeping the floor and after that cleaned it with water. The things in the room did not move much as no one came in. After doing the minor tasks she went out for a while and came back with a clean white towel and a bowl of water. She looked at Rudra and blushed slightly because she was going to clean his body. She always did all these tasks but when it came to cleaning Rudra's body she would always turn red with shame. Today too was the same.
She carefully removed his outer garments and cleaned his body with the towel after dipping it in the water bowl. Some time passed and just when she was about to remove his underwear, she noticed that Rudra's brows were furrowed and his eyes were moving rapidly; as if he was in a terrible nightmare.
The Little maid was startled and didn't know what to do so she shouted.
"My Lord! My Lord!! The Young Lord is reacting! come fast!"
