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

10•Need Sleep•10

  "Young master... Why am I needed here?"

  Ree, who was dragged along to ride a rocking boat the very next day they arrived at Ubarr Territory, asked calmly while holding a recipe book he was just about to study thoroughly.

  Ree purely expected that he would get to stay indoors today. After all, his main job wasn't to serve Cale like Beacrox, but to guide and babysit the wolf children. Therefore, he looked more casual than usual.

  He was still wearing his butler uniform, of course, but his black outer suit wasn't properly buttoned up and instead laid open. His hair was a bit messy while his calm brown eyes were covered by a pair of reading glasses.

  But nobody seemed to care enough to remind him to fix his appearance. Not even the usually proper Beacrox.

  "You don't want to go."

  Cale nonchalantly stated. Not asked, but stated. Noticing this, Ree simply smiled politely.

  "Not at all, young master. I'm actually quite interested in seeing the sea for myself as well."

  None of that was a lie. After all, although Ree was incredibly reluctant to run around this territory infested with important characters from left to right, he was still curious on seeing the whirlpool described in the novel.

  And indeed, seeing is really different from imagining.

  Looking out the small window of the boat overlooking the ocean filled with ravaging and extremely dangerous looking whirlpool, Ree couldn't help but be fascinated.

  Although he still looked as calm as ever, inside, mini Ree was already looking at everything with bright, sparkling eyes.

  "Hahaha. Young master-nim, isn't the whirlpool grand?"

  The fisherman's voice sounded extremely cheerful in the middle of the loud noises of splashing waves and wildly rocking boat.

  Ree couldn't help but raised the book he was holding to cover up his face, hiding his growing grin.
 
  'Indeed, it was extremely grand and majestic. And seeing Hilsman and even Cale suffering was an added bonus to it.'

  Mini Ree laughed sadistically inside.

  "Young master-nim, it is that island over there! The whirlpool in front of that island is the worst! You'll need to say goodbye to this world immediately if you get caught in that one! Hahaha!"

  At this, Ree shifted his gaze toward the front. The one he was looking at was the smallest island in the cluster of islands in front of them.

  "There is a legend that says that the whirlpool appeared because of a thief who stole something from a god, but, aiya!"

  Re calmly sat, un bothered when the boat leaned to one side. He nonchalantly fixed his glasses while still looking at whirlpool outside.

  "Aigoo, the boat almost tipped over. Hey punk, row properly!"

  "Sorry dad!"

  "That is why, young master-nim."

  "Hey."

  Hearing Cale's stern voice, Ree immediately shifted his gaze toward him. He could actually see his pale complexion turning paler than it already is.

  "Let's talk after making it to the island first."

  "I agree. It is unsafe to have your attention divided when in a boat, mister."
