William Le Swisston Aubert Heartifilia.
Also known as the crown prince of the kingdom called, 'Arumnia'. At the age of 6, he was already considered a magic prodigy amongst all the mages in the kingdom.
It's no doubt that he's strong.
But- the prince has a secret nobody knows; he has an obsession for pretty things. Wherever and whenever he sees something he deemed pretty, he follows. Yes, he's a big flirt. That's because all the girls he had flirted with were absolutely beautiful. But, after a few tea sessions with them, he quickly got bored.
It seems that their face aren't really the problem, but their heart is.
Seriously, what a shame.
They only see him as a ticket to become the queen of this country. How absolutely disgusting. They don't understand the responsibilities of being a royal, yet they continue to brag that they could do anything because they are nobles. Just because their positions are higher than the rest.
Louis was the same. He was like other girls. Pretty on the outside, shitty on the inside.
But he changed- How? Its not possible for one to change overnight. From a rotten little thing to become so angelic..
Unless- he's not really Louis is he?
A deranged smile stretched on the red-head's face as he recalled the innocent look on the youngest's master of the Cliffard household.
"What a pretty little thing he is~"
George would understand. Oh, how lucky he is being brother's with an angel. Oh, Louis.. so fragile, so angelic, so pretty! How lovely! Just his type!
It doesn't matter if he's Byton's favorite child. He wont get away. Whatever pretty little things William wants, he'll get. Maybe his collection would look so much lovelier with Louis in it?
You see, William has sharp and observant eyes. It's also one of the perks of being royal. He knows if a person is good or bad. Somehow- Louis has gone from bad to gone overnight. Its also probably due to his instinct too that's why he has such a good intuition of others.
But.. It just simply doesn't make sense.
It does not matter though. He could always find out after he have him.
What matters the most is Louis. How- just how will he be able to obtain him? Louis might be the most expensive thing William had ever owned in his collection.
Hm? What? You guys actually thought that there will finally be someone sane in this game?
You see, despite the royal having a clean reputation, only the ones close to him truly knows his personality. The prince has a secret room in the castle where he keeps all his dolls and only his father knows about it.
Cold orange eyes looked at the girl sleeping beside him. Yes, she was a beauty. But like most others, her heart was ugly. Seeing this, only made him want his best friend's brother more.
No one knows this complex obsession of his other than his father, of course. That's why he's very hard to read. One moment, he could be all flirty and flowers, the next, all gloomy and dark. His personality is seriously complicated to understand to say the least.
He rolled his eyes and got of off the bed to the window. It was practically already late at night, yet he couldn't sleep. Maybe he should pay a visit to the Cliffard estate tomorrow? Possibly convince the old man to let him have the youngest.
No- that's not possible. No matter the cost, Byton would never let someone else touch his youngest son. But that doesn't mean he cant try.
Surely the cutey wont mind to have some company, wont he?
Another small but now innocent grin made its way on his lips.
Honey, wait for me~
Sumi unintentionally shivered, feeling some kind of bad vibes.
Steel eyes looked at the brown-haired maid. Maurice sweatdropped as she had her hands on her lips to keep herself to gasping. Sumi sighed and dusted of the white on his pajamas.
The hell? It's just Maurice.
But- Sumi narrowed his eyes sending glares at her. There is a chance that she might tell on him. Byton wouldn't care if one staff goes missing right? I mean, he's never killed anyone before but he's open to try it.
Maurice might be one of the higher ranked maids around here, but she could always be replaced.. right? Sorry, but.. Sumi's freedom is much more important. Sometimes, risks must be taken.
Anyways, if his father heard of this, his movements might be restricted. THAT CANT HAPPEN. So that's why, Sumi shall eliminate her before words get out.
What was she doing in the middle of the night anyways? Possibly, its probably because of the noise he made when he knocked the jar of salt.
"Y-y-y-young master!" She stuttered.
Shut up, he's trying to think. That's it. He got it. His freedom is 10x more important. For this, he apologizes and he'll mourn for the maid's death after he kills her.
'I don't really know her. But if I'm gonna commit murder, i atleast have to give her a proper burial.'
Sumi placed the jar of sugar down as clapped his hands to remove the access sugar. It was obvious that Sumi underestimates the young lady. After all, what could Maurice do?
Don't worry. He'll make it as painless as possible. He isn't that cruel, he's human after all.
'My deepest apologies, Maurice. You've been kind to me.' Some kind of deadly aura emitted out of Louis.
Maurice only came to work at the Cliffard mansion to pay off her dept her father made. The pressure was unbearable, but she made it. The pay was good, and the food was good too. When she got promoted, she was ecstatic and decided to not quit after she paid off her dept.
Maurice was a kind lady with brown hair and brown eyes. She was plain, but also had some kind of appeal to her. It was a fact that she is smarter than some of the servants working in the mansion, but was usually pushed aside because of her clumsy attitude.
"What is going on here?" A strict and dark voice suddenly reached Sumi's ears.
Sumi paled. Oh, god. What is Collins doing here?! Sumi internally panicked. With Collins here, Sumi cant kill the maid! Sumi's deadly aura immediately shrunked as small as a mouse as Collins took a glance at his master.
Before Maurice could say anything, Sumi panicked and pointed at Maurice (but still keeping that no emotion face on). Sumi is basically a god at manipulating people. This cant be so hard right? Put the blame on the servant and his movements wont be restricted.
As compensation, Sumi decided to make sure that Maurice atleast wont lose her job, he'll also make sure to give her a bonus.. So please Maurice.. Take the blame.
Sumi's face immediately turned to acting mode as his arm stretched out to point at Maurice. Maurice also panicked as she began to freak out, holding her head in distress. Collins looked at Maurice with his cold green eyes, as if scolding her. Sumi may not notice it, but his hand was shaking. Oh, god.. Collins sure is scary when he's mad.
"Why is there salt on the floor? Care to explain, Miss Maurice Florence?" Maurice had this look on her face. Nervousness, anxious, scared to loose the job she's worked on for so long.
Due to her personality, she was overwhelmed with nervousness as she kept stuttering words that neither Sumi or Collins could understand and fumbled with her fingers. Her reaction is just what the youngster has expected because he knew Maurice was really shy.
He felt bad, but atleast he didn't turn back on humanity that night. He was really prepared to murder someone.
Faster. Collins distracted so its time to make an exit.
Before Sumi could even take another step, Collins snapped his eyes at Sumi. The older gave a pretend smile and walked towards the younger. And in a blink of an eye, Collins was already infront of Sumi. Sumi swore he could almost feel his soul stepping out of his body.
Seriously, since when was his butler this scary?!
Before Sumi could say another word, his arm was grabbed and he was dragged out of the door. Sumi had to jog a bit to match Collins pace, but it was no problem. Sumi tried to keep his face as emotionless as possible to not raise any suspicion.
"Young Master, I shall escort you to your room and then report of this incident to your father."
Byton is a workaholic and he takes his work seriously. Its not going to be a suprise if his father is still awake at this time. Hearing this bit of information, Sumi actually felt seriously frightened even though he's already scared. This fear is much different. The enemy here.. is his dad!
How many more times could he endure those torture and kisses and hugs?! No! No! No! Not to mention, those paperworks weren't a joke! There's no way Byton can know about this!
His grip on the boy's arm was firm as the older had some kind of serious expression on his face as he dragged the small boy. Sumi was already thinking of a plan to get out of this predicament. After a few seconds, he gulped and looked down in contemplation as he already thought of a plan.
'C'mon.. just suck it up. Your pride means nothing compared to what's gonna happen.'
Imagine if his father got word on this. 'His son suddenly went crazy and snuck out at night to eat sugar.' While eating sugar itself wont probably bother Byton, sneaking out will. Because just imagine the possibilities. Sneaking out practically means escaping to him at the same time. That cant happen.
Sumi used his energy to get infront of Collins. Collins looked down at his young master, his brows raised. The butler observed the white stains on his master's clothing, already knowing what actually happened.
Sumi clutched the elder's jacket, rubbing his face against it. Sumi knew Collins loved it when he did this. Yes, Sumi is going to try to seduce Collins. It took a lot of sucking up but he decided that his little bit of leeway he has left is much more important.
Just suck it up and do it, Sumi!
He cant have anymore of his movements more restricted than it already is. He couldn't even breathe properly without feeling that something is watching him. Seriously, how did the old Louis deal with this?!
'I'm cute right? Hey, forgive me and just say that I'm cute already! I'm risking my pride for this!'
"Collins.. please don't tell dad." Sumi suddenly looked up at the male with teary eyes as he kept on tugging on the cloth. Collins sighed picking up his young master. Seriously, what would he do without him?
"Hm? Why?" The blonde teased, wanting to know what the boy would say next. "Collin," Sumi continued, hugging his butler's neck as he rubbed his head on his neck, hiding his face. "Please.." Sumi pleaded, his voice becoming softer and weaker as if scared of what's gonna happen.
'Ack- this hurts my pride!'
At Sumi's tone, Collins eyes softened a little. The butler sighed, already knowing he's gonna give in. "I shall refrain from telling the lord if that's what young master wishes." Sumi's eyes glowed in delight as he leaned in the kiss Collins cheek.
Collins smiled as his grip on the young master tightened, keeping himself composed. He also wanted to tell the younger to kiss him more, but he knows his place. Seriously, how can a boy be this cute?
In the end, Collins gave in to the young master's demand.
"Lets get you changed, shall we?" Collins smiled making eye contact with the youngest white-haired who visibly tensed and then faked a smile back to Collins, reluctantly nodding.
'This perverted butler!'
That night, Sumi unlocked a new skill called 'seduction'.
Hi Hi!
So i wanted to make the prince's info now. Lmao, some of you guys actually thought that the prince was sane but to me he's one of the worst character in this book lolololol
Meet William! One of my favourite characters in this book!
William Le Swisston Aubert Heartifilia is the crown prince and soon to be king. He's a player and always chases things of what he deems is pretty. Basically, he has a sick obssession with pretty stuff. He has a good intuition and also he likes to think that he is a good observer. His blood magic is really strong that even the strongest mage in Arumnia acknowledges him. He's basically that perfect student that everyone loves but secretly has a dark side in him.
By the way, if some of you guys took the killing part seriously, Sumi's not rlly going to kill Maurice. He'll probably try to threaten her or smth.
Anyways, i hope you like this chapter!
Also pls recommend me some reincarnation bl shit cuz i ran out of those stuffs to read and now im bored as heck.
Bonus:
Sumi looked at Collins, who was changing him out of his dirty clothes. For some reason, the butler had a small smile on his face, and he seemed the be satisfied with something.
'Ah.. would the young master consider giving me another kiss since im so good to him? Ah.. his skin is so tender.. so soft~' was what he was thinking. On the other hand, Sumi was making plans on how to get Maurice promoted because she did him quite the favor.
Meanwhile, Maurice was back in the kitchen cleaning out the mess Sumi had made.
She wasnt mad at the young master. No. She should've already seen it coming. She was already used to this, after all. Louis treats those below him poorly.
She's lucky that the youngest had only done this to him.
Thus she hold no grudge against young master louis and continued to do her job diligently.
