Let me be lazy please!

Arc 1.7

[He will reach close to you in 5...4...3...2....1!"

As soon as Leo heard the countdown reach at 1 he acted as if he lost his consciousness and let his body fall towards the ground and as he expected he did not feel the hard soil but instead a hand holding his waist and a body supporting him

Leo so badly wanted to smirk but he restrained himself and let himself figure the person, he could feel his body being gently brought down and supported in someone's hand and the voice of the person

"LEO! Wake up, love please wake up!" The person shouted

Leo who heard him was even more confused now, he have never heard this voice before so there was no way that this person could be someone he knows and moreover he was happy to know the gender of the person and the voice as he could figure out who the person was in the future by his voice

While he was in his thought he felt his body being picked up and carried, he wanted to curse at the person; his body was starting to feel the pain again due to the rough movements and this time he did not keep up his act and started moving slowly in the persons arms

The person abruptly came to a stop when he felt the person he was carrying move so he quickly looked down and was met with a frowning face

"Leo?" the person slowly called out

'What do you want now bastard? Because of you my whole body hurts like hell' Leo was cursing at the person in his thoughts but on the outside he slowly and weakly said "It hurts..." with tears falling of his still closed eyes, it's not that he doesn't want to open them and look at the stranger but he was in too much pain to open them

The person who heard his weak sound and saw the tears falling off his closed eyes felt his heart breaking looking at the weak body in his arms and without a second thought he quickly took Leo to his room and called the doctor along with Ximen

The doctor gave Leo an anesthetic as soon as he came as he knew Leo's body could not handle the pain for too long and checked him up

After checking him up he scolded the other two in the room for being careless and allowing him to walk around in that state and left the room

Ximen was now looking at the angered face of the stranger and could only look down after seeing the killing glare the person gave

"Aren't you supposed to be his butler!? How could you let him out after he woke up just yesterday? He is too weak and his body has not yet recovered, you are lucky that he was not too injured or else I would have made sure to make you remember this in the cruelest way possible, if from now on I hear him going out in this condition or getting hurt even if it is by a small scratch I will not hesitate to kill the people in this mansion" The stranger warned

Ximen was extremely scared as he knew who the person in front of him was and never expected the demon in front of him to care about anyone let alone his young master

Ximen could only nod his head as he was too scared to speak

"Inform me if something happens" The stranger spoke in a low voice as he left the room allowing ximen to finally let out the breath he never knew he was holding

Ximen looked at the boy sleeping on the bed and thought 'How did you make that demon prince care for you and only you?'

It has been few hours since Leo was put into sleep and he was slowly starting to wake up

When he woke up the first thing he saw was the emotionless butler having a hint of sadness in his eyes

"Ximen...what's wrong?"

Ximen who was thinking about the warning that the 'demon prince' gave was brought out of it by Leo's question

"It's nothing Leo"

"If it's nothing you wouldn't look like that, now tell me" Leo insisted

"It is nothing you have to worry about Leo, please take rest"

"Think of it as a gratitude for helping your mother, tell me your problem" Leo blackmailed

"I...The person who sends you those letters was the one who brought you back to your room after you collapsed... he...he got angry knowing you would have got hurt if he was not there..."

'Of course I wouldn't get hurt' Leo thought but asked a question completely different from his thoughts

"Did he take his anger out on you?"

"....."

"Answer me"

"....Yes..."

Leo was beyond mad now because 1. The lover boy took his anger out on his butler after all no one other than Leo himself could scold him and 2. Because if Ximen starts blaming him for the lover boy scolding him then his plan would be destroyed!

"Alright, I am sorry about that, I should have not went out, please forgive me" Leo spoke as he looked down

"No no no, it's not your fault at all Leo, I understand, you must have wanted to go out after staying in your room for so long and I do not mind him scolding me after all he just spoke the truth" Ximen hurriedly said

"Still you are my butler and no one is allowed to scold you or hurt you other than me myself which I do not think I will ever do"

"Leo trust me it's alright, you should take rest I will be outside if you need anything" Ximen spoke as he left the room

Leo quickly brought out his paper and pen and angrily started writing

"How could you scold Ximen? I know you were worried about me but that does not give you any rights in taking your anger out on my butler, I heard from Ximen that you were the who brought me after I fainted so thank you for that but do not think I will forgive you for lashing out on my butler, I do not know what you told him but whatever you did, did not only cause him to be sad but it made me sad too, Ximen has been through a lot and he is always the one who stood by my side and supported me, earlier today I didn't inform him or anyone that I was going out if I did I am sure that Ximen would have not allowed, he cares for me like a brother and it hurts me to see him like that so please apologize to Ximen and never do that again

-Leo Azkehle Xellos "

Leo wrote and kept it on the table and went to sleep, after a few hours he woke up he found another letter but this time he was hesitant to read it, he was still angry at the person but still went to read
