Lost in the Path of Fate

Chapter 10 - Gideon Woodlock (2)

"Young Master..." Gideon lightly called when he saw that Pier was not changing into his usual noble clothes.

The latter was simply humming as he munched on the cookies.

"Hmmm?" Pier asked as he was looking outside.

"I thought... I thought we needed to go somewhere" Gideon spoke and Pier nodded his head.

"We do need to go somewhere" Pier responded and Gideon had a confused look on his face.

"But... but why is the young master not changing..." He asked and Pier smiled as he grabbed the newly washed black cloak that was placed on his bed earlier by Martha.

"I'll wear this" He spoke and the knight's eyes widened.

"P-Pardon?"

"Oh, we need to go to the Capital but I do not want people to see my face" He spoke and Gideon's confusion was cleared a little bit. 

However, there was still a question on his mind.

Why was his young master making him wear the expensive clothes?

"B-But..."

Gideon could only nod his head as he stood up from the sofa and he fixed the clothes he was wearing. 

He was still uncomfortable.

"Gideon" The young master called and Gideon stared at Pier.

"Yes, young master" Pier stretched his hand while he adjusted the golden ring with a diamond stone on his finger. He also wore the platinum necklace with a ring attached on it. 

"For this day, I want you to think about yourself alone. Do not mind anyone who tries to talk to you or ask you questions" He commanded and Gideon was silent for a few seconds before he nodded his head.

"As the young master desires" He responded and Pier smiled at him before he walked towards the door.

"Good. Let's go" Pier spoke as he wore the cloak over his black shirt and black pants as well. 

"Ah, another thing" Pier spoke as he held the handle of the door.

"Yes...?" Gideon asked.

"Do not address me by my title or my real name" Pier told him and Gideon's eyebrows furrowed. But he saw that Pier had a somehow serious look on his face.

"T-Then... what should I call you, young master?" 

"Liam. Call me Liam. I will be your assistant for today" Pier chuckled as he opened the door.

Gideon was left speechless. What is his young master planning? 

He did not know.

They both got out of the young master's bedroom and they immediately went down the stairs.

Gideon immediately felt many pairs of eyes staring at him.

He sighed as he chose not to think about it and just focus on the person walking in front of him.

Pier's entire body was covered with the cloak and the hood was over his head.

His strides were large enough that they easily reached the first floor of the mansion and the maids stationed to clean the area stared at the man who was wearing noble clothes.

"Who is the person coming down the stairs?" They all asked each other.

Gideon's usually unkept hair was combed properly to the back and his large build was very much noticeable by everyone.
