.....

It was evening that Leo decided to go ahead with his plan but what he never expected was another butler in place of Ximen after he made him take the pill, but worse of all after inquiring about this new butler guess who his master was? The one and only lover boy-our mysterious stranger

'Oi Bella, I'm telling you this lover boy is a stalker, it has not even been 2 hours since ximen took leave and he already received the news and got me another butler?'

[Host, did you forget that he is royalty? He must have had some connections to people in the mansion to ask about you]

'Still a stalker'

While Leo was busy conversing with Bella, his newly appointed butler- Noel was looking at him with extremely curious eyes, after all it was very rare for the prince to send someone to take care of someone else, it was almost impossible to imagine it was like wishing for the fishes to walk on land! Quickly recovering from his thoughts he remembered another reason as to why the prince had sent him

"Young master Leo, this humble servant has something to give it to master from the prince" Noel spoke as he took out an envelope from his jacket

Leo who was interrupted from his conversation with the system could only give curious glances towards the envelop as he took it to himself

"Thank you Noel..."

"Young master does not need to thank this lowly servant; this humble servant was just doing his duty"

Nodding his head, Leo decided to open the envelop and much to not his surprise it was indeed a letter

'This guy loves writing letters' Leo thought as he smiled at the letter, which caused Noel to be shocked

"To my love,

I am sure you are shocked by this sudden visit of your new butler but I hope you will accept him, I didn't want you to be alone, if you have any problems please feel free to speak to Noel

I know that it has only been a few days but I am already missing you, how are you doing there my love? I hope you are taking good care of yourself, and as I said fate indeed is on our side after all I will be able to meet you soon and trust my words love I will present myself to you on that day

I can't wait to see you and talk to you; if you want you can reply to this letter and give it to Noel who can send it to me afterwards but of course only if you want to...

Take care of yourself love; don't be afraid to rely on me

I love you...."

Leo wanted to cry at this point, not because he felt emotional reading the letter but because of the person itself, unknowingly that person is helping Leo complete his mission superbly

'Looks like it's time to put on my acting skills to use' Leo thought as he looked through the letter as if he was still reading it

Noel who was watching the young master read the letter silently was stunned to see him cry out of nowhere while holding the letter close to him, panicking he quickly knelt down to his to meet with his eyes as the other one was sitting on his bed and hurriedly asked

"Young master! Is there something wrong? Are you in any pain?!"

Noel was panicking because if he did something to make the person in front of him to cry what was awaiting him the next day was definitely his death!

Leo who lowered his head to hide his smirk simply denied it by shaking his head and then decided to look up and speak

"I-I'm s-sorry but c-could y-you please l-leave m-me alone for a m-moment? I-I need s-some time to m-myself"

"Of course young master please feel free to call me if you need anything" Noel spoke as he decided to leave the youth alone for now

Seeing that he was finally alone in the room he let go of his acting and the only think you could see on that tear stained face is a smirk

'Now, what shall I write as reply?' Leo thought as he took a paper and after a minute started scribbling down

Once he felt satisfied with his reply, he called for Noel who came in as fast as he was called and handed him the letter asking to give it to the prince

"Yes young master Leo" Noel obediently replied and left the room for the youth to rest

That night, at the palace Noel was summoned by the prince who asked about the youth

"Y-Your highness, young master Leo was crying...." Noel spoke softly

"Crying?! What happened? Did you do something?" The prince's voice filled with anger echoed through the silent room

"T-This servant would never your highness, young master Leo started crying after reading your highnesses letter" Noel spoke, his voice trembling

"My letter?" He thought of what he wrote in the letter and sure enough he didn't find anything that would hurt his beloved

"Why did he cry then?" The prince impatiently asked

"This servant does not know your highness b-but young master Leo had asked this servant to hand over a letter to your highness" Noel spoke as he presented the prince with the letter

Narrowing his eyes at the letter, he asked for Noel to leave

After confirming that he had left, his cold attitude did a whole 180 degree change and now all one could see was worry within his eyes, quickly opening the letter he read through its contents

"I never thought that you would care for me this much, thank you so much I am extremely grateful to your caring, and thank you for sending Noel, don't worry I have already accepted him

Answering to your worries if I am being honest I can't tell that I am doing well... in fact the truth is I'm scared...I really am, I-there has been so much going around here in the mansion, I am afraid that unlike how it looks people really do hate me ... I happened to overhear a conversation from one of the workers named Viola... and from the sounds of it she and some other people plan on ending me... I do not mind dying but I am just sad to know that I didn't really have a purpose in life... ever since my birth everyone seems to have considered me as an existence similar to a curse... the only exception that has ever been made was by yourself and by Ximen, you two were the only ones who cared for me in this entire world so I was really happy reading your letter....

Thank you for providing me happiness...

Leo Azkehle Xellos"

Anger... anger was the one thing clearly evident on the prince's face, hiding all the worry and pain in his eyes

He quickly wrote a reply and handed it to Noel who the next day gave it to Leo
