Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Hidden Secret

As the school day draws to a close, Azel sits at his desk, listening intently as the teacher announces that they will be dismissed earlier than usual. The anticipation of returning home fills Azel with a sense of excitement, eager to indulge in his favorite pastimes and enjoy the comforts of home.

Slowly packing his bag, Azel's mind drifts to thoughts of his father's impending business trip to a nearby city. Though disappointed by his father's absence, Azel resolves to make the most of his time alone, relishing the opportunity for solitary adventures in the sprawling mansion.

Hours pass, and the sun begins its descent towards the horizon as Azel arrives home earlier than expected. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he decides to play a game of "Don't let the maid see me," stealthily navigating the halls of the mansion without alerting the vigilant servants to his presence.

As Azel tiptoes past the grand master bedroom, a strange sensation washes over him, accompanied by an eerie silence that hangs heavily in the air. Pausing in curiosity, he strains his ears, his senses heightened by the ominous stillness surrounding him.

To his astonishment, Azel catches snippets of his mother's voice emanating from the confines of the master bedroom, punctuated by soft cries of distress. Intrigued and concerned, Azel inches closer to the closed door, his heart pounding in his chest as he braces himself for what lies beyond.

With trembling hands, Azel pushes open the door, his eyes widening in shock at the sight that greets him, a sight that will forever alter the course of his destiny.
