Fabian: "Why do I have to wear these clothes?"
Augustus had forced Fabian to wear a special suit along with a decorated necktie. Fabian didn't feel comfortable, but he had to do whatever Augustus said.
Augustus: "Because you are now my assistant."
Fabian: "But these clothes are for nobles, I'm not sure that—"
Augustus frowned and said, "You talk too much, just do what I ask."
Fabian: "Yes, father."
Augustus frowned at Fabian and said, "You are not in the role of Hugo now, from now on you must call me master, understood?"
Fabian, with an awkward smile, said, "Sorry, I've forgotten that, master."
Fabian, with an awkward smile, said, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, master."
Augustus: "Remember, escaping is useless. If I find out you're trying to escape, there will be severe punishment awaiting you."
Fabian: "Yes, master."
Fabian thought, "I like playing Hugo's role more, he caresses my head when I'm Hugo."
A carriage was prepared in front of the mansion, and a servant opened the carriage door for Augustus, respectfully saying, "I wish you success, master."
Augustus: "Thank you, Louis. Take care of the house while I'm away."
Louis: "Yes, master, I'll do my best not to disappoint you."
Fabian thought: "What is he going to do?"
Fabian walked towards the carriage, got in, and sat opposite Augustus.
The carriage moved towards the location of the party.
Augustus crossed his legs and looked at Fabian with a sneer.
Fabian: "Excuse me, but your smile is quite scary."
Augustus gave a proud smile and said, "Are you saying that after living with me for a week, you're still afraid of me?"
Fabian: "Well, just a little."
Augustus: "As long as you play your role correctly, you don't need to be afraid of me. Just do what I ask."
Fabian thought for a moment and said: "Who should I spy on?"
Augustus paused for a moment and said: "I want you to get close to a man named Alexander Olivers and gather information about him."
Fabian: "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Augustus frowned and said, "Well, I
can't tell you the reason, just gather information about that man for me."
Fabian: "Alright, I'll do my best."
Fabian entered the party with Augustus. There were many people, which made Fabian feel a bit dizzy. Fabian held his head, thinking, "How
am I supposed to find someone named Alexander in this crowd?"
Augustus looked at Fabian and said, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fabian smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a bit dizzy."
Augustus frowned and said, "Don't make excuses, do what I asked."
Fabian: "Yes, master."
Fabian carefully observed all the guests. Suddenly, among the crowd, he saw his friends.
Fabian approached a woman and smiled, "Margaret, I didn't expect to see you here."
Margaret turned to Fabian and said in surprise, "Fabian, you're still alive?!"
Fabian said in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Margaret, crying with joy, said, "I heard many people were killed that night, and you suddenly disappeared. I thought you were dead too."
Fabian: "Really? What happened that night?"
Margaret said in surprise, "You don't remember?"
Fabian held his head and said, "No, I can't remember anything from that night."
A man came next to Margaret and said in surprise, "Is that Fabian?!"
Margaret smiled and said, "Yes, it's him. I'm so happy to see him again."
Fabian looked at the man and said, "Raphael?"
Raphael smiled and said, "Fabian, do you remember anything from that night?"
Fabian: "No, I get a headache every time I think about it."
Raphael thought: "It seems the drug I gave him worked. Even if he survives, he won't be a problem for me."
Margaret: "Did you find your father?"
Fabian said in surprise, "My father?! But he is dead..."
Margaret thought and said, "But you said yourself that you were looking for your father."
Fabian thought: "It's very strange, I feel like there's something really important that I've forgotten."
Suddenly, Fabian, with fear and stress, said, "Please save me, a murderer wants to kill me!"
Margaret: "A murderer?"
Raphael chuckled and said, "Sorry Fabian, but there's no way a murderer could be here, and if that's true, why are you still alive?"
Fabian: "Well, I..."
Raphael smiled and said, "You must be hallucinating, go get some rest."
Raphael thought: "It's strange that he's still alive, it seems the drug I gave him has made him delusional."
Fabian: "I'm telling the truth, I have proof!"
Augustus: "No matter how hard you try, no one will believe you."
Suddenly, Fabian pointed at Augustus and said with fear, "This man is the murderer!"
Margaret looked in surprise and said, "Um, who are you talking about? I don't see anyone."
Fabian, in surprise, said, "But he's right here!"
Raphael chuckled and said, "Fabian, I don't know what's happened to you, but you need to see a psychologist."
Margaret, with sadness, said,
"Fabian..."
Raphael took Margaret's hand and said, "Let's go, it's better to stay away from him."
Raphael frowned at Fabian and left with Margaret.
Fabian, shocked, looked at Augustus in surprise and said, "Why can't they see you?"
Augustus sneered and said, "They can't see me because I'm not alive."
Fabian, staring at Augustus, said, "So, you're... a ghost..."
Suddenly, Fabian fainted and fell to the ground.
"What happened?!"
"Why did he suddenly pass out?!"
Someone checked Fabian's pulse and said, "It's nothing, he just fainted. We should take him somewhere he can rest."
Fabian woke up and said to himself, "Where am I?"
Fabian was lying on a couch, and a man sitting next to him smiled and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Fabian sat up, feeling a bit dizzy, and said, "What happened?"
Man: "I'm a doctor. You suddenly fainted in the middle of the party hall, so I brought you here to help you feel better."
Fabian went to the window and looked outside. Fabian thought to himself, "Was it all just a scary dream?"
Suddenly, Augustus grabbed Fabian's mouth from behind and said, "Stay calm and don't make any noise. This man works for Alexander Olivers. You need to make him take you to Olivers."
Fabian nodded.
Augustus released Fabian and said, "Good, follow the plan."
Fabian looked at the doctor and said, "Excuse me, do you know someone named Alexander Olivers?"
The doctor smiled and said, "I'm his personal doctor. Do you need something from him?"
Fabian: "Well, I..."
Augustus stood next to Fabian and said, "Show him the marks on your wrists and tell him you're a victim."
Fabian, surprised, said, "I'm a victim trapped by a terrifying murderer!"
Doctor: "A victim?"
Fabian unbuttoned his sleeve and showed the mark on his wrist to the doctor.
Fabian, seriously, said, "He's a murderer. He forced me to come here to see Mr. Olivers."
Augustus smiled and said, "Good, keep going, but don't mention that I'm here."
Fabian, desperately, shouted, "Please save me!"
The doctor thought, "This is very suspicious. If this man is here, then Augustus must be here too!"
Suddenly, a man entered the room and said, "Martin, are you here?"
The man looked at Fabian, saw the
mark on his wrist, and suddenly shouted, "Augustus, show yourself now!"
Fabian wanted to point to Augustus, but Augustus grabbed his mouth from behind to keep him silent.
Martin: "Alex, are you sure Augustus is here?"
Alex, with a proud smile, said: "Of course, I can feel someone's presence here."
Suddenly, Fabian bit Augustus's hand and shouted, "He's here, right behind me!"
Alex suddenly laughed.
Fabian, surprised, said: "Why are you laughing?"
Alex wiped his tears and said, "Sorry young man, but Augustus died twenty-two years ago."
Fabian, shocked, said, "He died twenty-two years ago?!"
Augustus wrapped his arm around Fabian from behind and smiled.
Fabian: "This can't be, he's right behind me and holding me..."
Martin: "I believe you. Help us as a medium to talk to Augustus."
Alex: "You must be very confused. My father was one of Duke Augustus's friends. I heard that all his family members were killed by a nobleman, and since then, it's been rumored that his house is haunted by ghosts and after that..."
Augustus: "Tell him to take you to his father, I want to talk to him."
Fabian: "If possible, can you take us to your father?"
Alex's face fell, and he said, "Unfortunately I can't fulfill your request."
