I, Augustus Lawrence, was a young and wealthy duke. I always loved my family and would do anything for them.
Hugo: "Father, please save me!"
A powerful man offered me a partnership, which I refused. That man killed all my family members, and only my son survived.
Augustus shouted: "Hugo!"
The man, holding Hugo, sneered and said, "I warned you that if you stood in my way, this is what I would do to you, Augustus."
Hugo, crying, shouted: "Father, I'm so scared!"
Augustus, shocked, begged the man: "Please let this child go, he's just a child!"
The man threw Hugo to the ground.
Augustus: "Hugo!"
Then the man approached Hugo and stabbed him.
Augustus, shocked, said: "No, this can't be, why did you..."
In the end, the man killed Augustus too.
Augustus wanted to torture Fabian and then kill him. Fabian woke up and saw that he was lying on a bed and still alive. Augustus was sitting on the bed opposite him.
Augustus was sitting on the bed opposite him.
Augustus: "You have to play a role for me."
Fabian: "Play a role?"
Fabian thought: "I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind, I shouldn't do anything to make him angry and come after me again."
Fabian got up from the bed and said: "What should I do, I'll do anything I can."
Augustus stood up and came towards Fabian.
Fabian: "Is something wrong?"
Augustus: "You're very dirty, you need to take a bath first."
Augustus took Fabian's hand and led him to the bathroom to clean up.
Augustus: "Finish it quickly."
Augustus left and closed the door.
Fabian was happy and said: "I really wanted to take a bath!"
Fabian wanted to get dressed and saw that Augustus had left a set of clothes for him.
Fabian looked at the clothes and said: "Do I have to wear these?
Fabian was wearing an almost childish outfit and was walking in the hall.
Augustus approached Fabian and said, "It suits you more than I thought."
Fabian thought: "Is he mocking me?!"
Fabian: "Excuse me, but why do I have to wear these clothes?"
Augustus gave a faint smile and said, "Because Hugo is a ten-year-old boy."
Fabian thought and said, "Hugo? Who is Hugo?"
Augustus: "He's my son."
Fabian, curious, said, "I don't want to interfere, but where is Hugo now?"
Augustus smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe in heaven."
Fabian was shocked and thought: "Is he dead?!"
Augustus: "You look a lot like Hugo, so play Hugo's role for me."
Fabian smiled and said, "Ah, one more question, what is Hugo's relationship with you?"
Augustus: "He's my son; I lost him years ago."
Fabian, saddened, said: "It must have been very tragic. I lost my father when I was a child, so I can understand you."
Augustus took Fabian's hand and said, "Talking is enough, let's go."
Augustus took Fabian to the dining room, which had a large table full of various foods.
Augustus sat at the table, and Fabian sat opposite him. A servant came to serve food next to them.
Fabian thought: "I swear there were no servants here yesterday!"
A female servant stood next to Augustus, who gestured for her to leave.
An absolute silence appeared. Fabian felt uneasy, sensing a scary atmosphere. Augustus, with his terrifying face, was looking at Fabian, and Fabian couldn't even lift the spoon from the table.
Fabian thought: "I'm very hungry, but the way this man is looking at me makes me lose my appetite!"
Augustus, with a cold look, said: "You haven't eaten anything since morning; I thought you'd be very hungry."
Fabian smiled and said, "Of course, I am hungry."
Augustus: "Why aren't you eating? Don't you like this food?"
Fabian, trembling, smiled and said, "Of course not, it looks delicious."
Fabian picked up the fork and put the meat in his mouth.
Fabian thought: "It's delicious!"
Augustus smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it; otherwise, I would have had to punish the servant who made this food!"
Fabian thought: "He has quickly slipped into his role again!"

Augustus took Fabian to a room. Unlike other rooms in the house, this one was neat and clean. The wallpaper was green and gave a very good feeling.
Fabian smiled and said, "This room still looks new after all these years."
Augustus: "This is Hugo's room, but now you are Hugo."
Fabian stuttered, "I see, thank you, father."
Augustus placed his hand on Fabian's head and smiled, "Welcome, my son."
Fabian thought, "Why do I feel comfortable?"
Augustus thought, "He's just playing a role, I shouldn't get too emotional."
Augustus: "If you need anything else, tell the servants, they will prepare it for you."
With his usual cold look, Augustus left.
Fabian lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and said, "I don't know how long I can hold out; I need to escape at the best opportunity."
Fabian got up and went towards the door, opening it slightly to see that the hallway was completely silent.
Fabian thought: "I need to be careful; he could find me at any moment."
Fabian quietly walked down the hallway towards the stairs, going down slowly and reaching the hall.
Fabian took a deep breath and said,
"I've been lucky so far!"
Augustus grabbed Fabian's shoulders from behind and said, "What do you mean by lucky?"
Suddenly, Fabian turned towards Augustus in fear and said with a trembling voice, "Please forgive me, I won't try to escape again!"
Augustus smiled and said, "Escape? How do you plan to escape?"
Fabian was speechless with fear, staring at Augustus.
Augustus, with a terrifying expression, looked at Fabian and said, "I gave you everything you wanted, I was even kind to you, and yet you talk about escaping?"
Fabian: "Mr. Augus—"
Augustus: "I didn't give you permission to call me that!"
Fabian: "But I..."
Augustus leaned closer and looked directly into Fabian's eyes, saying, "You have no other choice. If you don't play the role, I'll kill you."
Fabian, with a trembling voice, said, "Alright, I'll play the role..."
Augustus: "Good, now you can go back to your room."
Fabian: "Alright, okay..."
Augustus: "Okay, what?"
Fabian: "Yes, father."
Fabian took a deep breath and thought, "My heart is pounding, I need to be very careful."
Augustus sat on the couch and said, "Aren't you going back to your room?"
Fabian: "Um, well, I'm bored, I have no entertainment."
Augustus: "I see, you can go anywhere in this house."
Fabian thought in surprise: "All this time I could go anywhere I wanted?! This means he keeps the key with him!"
Fabian, embarrassed, said: "Can I sit next to you, father?"
Augustus smiled and said, "Of course, sit as long as you want."
Fabian felt extremely uneasy, thinking, "I just need to endure a little longer, I have to find a way to get the key from his pocket!"
Augustus crossed his leg over the other and said, "I thought you'd have a hard time getting along with me, but you seem too comfortable."
Fabian smiled and said, "Yeah, it's strange, isn't it?"
Augustus looked at Fabian and said, "It's better this way, you play your role better."
Fabian reached towards Augustus, but suddenly Augustus grabbed Fabian's wrist and said with a sneer, "You're still thinking about escaping? But there is no key in this house."
Fabian, surprised, said, "If there's no key in this house, then how..."
Augustus: "All the doors and windows in this house open and close with my magic, so forget about escaping."
Fabian, disheartened, said, "So I can never leave here?"
Augustus grabbed Fabian's waist from behind and pulled him closer, then said in a chilling voice, "You are my puppet, I give you a role, and you must play it."
Fabian: "Mr. Augustus!"
Augustus angrily pushed Fabian back and said, "You are now in the role of Hugo. From now on, if you call me anything other than father, you will be punished!"
Fabian: "Yes, father, I will remember that well."
