A Butler.... Apparently (TOTCF/LOTCF FANFIC)

6•The Polite Butler's Promotion•6

Hello lovelies! I was actually supposed to update "A Little Change" instead of this one but I haven't finished the next chapter there. So I decided to publish this one instead!

Sorry about that, my face to face classes will start tomorrow and my class is at 6 freaking AM. I have a lot to prepare (‘◉⌓◉’).

  'Beacrox, of all people....'

  Ree was absentmindedly twirling the needle in his hand between his fingers. He was sitting on top of a three branch with one of his hand on the back of his head. (AN: Yes, it is called senbon. But for my peace of mind I'll keep calling it "needle".)

  A small bird then landed on his hand that was holding the needle, making him stop. Ree didn't chase the bird away and just let the little guy rest on his forefinger.

  Sigh

  "Nevermind that. It wasn't important now. What's more important is that I somehow still got entangled as young master Cale's servant."

  With how things were going, Ree already knew that the chances of him getting involved directly to young master Cale was high.

  Still, knowing the young master's personality, there was still a chance that he would reject him as his servant. Because Cale hated getting involved with complicatedly strong people.

  And Ree was one of them.

  "I just hope young master will really reject their suggestion."

  Ree sighed again before moving the bird on his head and using both of his hand as a pillow before falling asleep.

  The little bird also nestled on his hair before taking a nap along with the brown haired human.

  The Capital's new hero, the one who saved everyone at the Plaza Incident, the Silver Shield Hero, Young Master Cale Henituse, was now back at the mansion.

  This news travelled throughout the whole mansion in the speed of light. Literally.

  The moment the young master stepped out of his carriage, everyone in the mansion was already assembled outside to welcome him.

  And Ree was also there.

  The brown haired butler was bowing along with the others as they greet the young master.

  He was, unfortunately, forced to stand at the very front to greet the young master. Courtesy of the old head butler of the mansion.

  Cale swept his impassive gaze at the servants bowing on him before landing on a familiar face. He flinched before staring at the uniformed butler.

  'What is that guy doing here? No wait... he was working here?'

  Cale couldn't help but stop on his tracks and stare at the brown haired butler. It was the same one he saw who was with Lock's siblings at the Inn.

  Ree could feel his young master's stare but didn't dare raise his head. Inside, mini Ree was screaming "He recognized me!" while running around in circle with his hand up in the air.

  "Young Master, is there a problem?"

  Finally, Cale moved his gaze away from him. Ree couldn't help but sang praises inside to the orange haired deputy butler.

  Hans, who noticed Cale's stare at the brown haired butler named Ree, immediately spoke.

  "Ahh, were you curious about that butler? His name is Ree and he's one of the recommended to be young master's servant."
