An Assistant to the Angel of Death
Prologues

Hair as color with yellowed wheat , Claude as hot as wheat straw that was being dried in the hot sun. His body was already extremely sticky by the sweat flowing down his back and his entire body.

Unlike the other nobles, his clothes were full of sand. His face flushed like an angry wasp. He had stood up long enough to get the punishment from Lady Gracia.

The maids had finished giving Claude a whip sentence until his skin gave off a red trace that seemed hard to lose in the near future, it may take weeks for the wound to disappear from his body.

To make matters worse, Marquez's newly demoted baron family vented his discontent with Claude. Had Claude been his other son, he would have gotten a lot of affection from both his parents.

Serving as baron Claude's illegitimate son was enough to get inappropriate treatment from his servants and other brothers.

Claude clasped his hand, which he was already quite fed up with all the treatment done by the Marquez baron family.

But at this moment his stomach was screaming in protest. Claude had endured his hunger this morning, but Chavis did not give Claude a piece of bread.

He can only swallow his saliva while still basking in the hot sun this summer. Laura, one of her youngest siblings, could not bear to see her sister not treated well by her family. but what power laura who was still young age he could not do anything but steal a piece of bread which he then secretly gave to Claude when no one saw him.

Lady Gracia halts her sentence on Claude, knowing that Chavis is gesturing to stop her punishment. Everyone dispersed themselves, each of them entering the residence. Almost half-fainted Claude collapsed onto the sandy soil. All his body felt limp, not a single servant helped him to stand up.

Being born the son of the impoverished Baron Marquez was the greatest curse for Claude. He turned his body and saw the sun shining brightly towards him, making him think that he might one day be able to live free from his rotten family.

Towards the night time unconsciously passed by. The room was so cramped, dusty and dark as a dungeon. A room that is not habitable by humans. It can even be said to be more suitable as a nest of rats or cockroaches. Claude took care of her a few times, but when he left his room for a while. The room will be back to how it was.

Who else if not the treatment from Carpel who could use magic, the noble family was almost all awarded an abundant magic mana, except for Claude. Although he was born from a noble family and the son of a great wizard at once. He still has no magic mana in the least.

Tok.dok..

Someone knocked on Claude's room door.

“Shi..” A call is heard from the crack of her bedroom door.

Claude approached the source of the voice and peered behind the door. He narrowed his eyes to see who was calling his nickname from behind the door of his room.

“Shi, can I log in?” The waiter whispered softly from behind the door.

Claude opened the door, allowing the maid to enter his room. The waiter entered carefully while closing the door slowly so as not to cause sound or sound from the sound of the door hinges that have been rusty.

“Shi I have good news, tonight your ladies and gentlemen are attending Duke Pheron's banquet, which means you can escape tonight.”

A very happy face from that woman. Not all of the maids treated him badly, but this woman was one of Claude's best servants and was the only one who made Claude alive today.

“Make what?” Claude was silent for a moment thinking about his next words. While the waiter was waiting for the next words that Claude would say. “Why did you help me to escape, when it was noon.” Claude seemed to be unable to continue his words anymore as he was a very crybaby boy.

“Sorry I hit you this afternoon because of Lady's orders, in exchange I will help you out of the residence. You'd better get your stuff done quickly You'll be gone by midnight tonight.”

The woman really loved Claude like her own sister. Actually he did not want Claude to leave, but he really could not see himself every day had to torture Claude because of the orders of Lady Gracia and her children.

Right at midnight Claude was ready to clean up the things he had to carry. He only brought a few Upice coins and all his mother's belongings. In his pants pocket he carried a small dagger in case someone did him any harm he could fight.

“Shi are you ready?” the waiter convinces Claude to make sure Claude is really ready to live up to the bigger challenges out there.

“I'm ready Ra.” Claude was really excited when he was really going to get out of that rotten house.

They're slipping out. Be careful not to be seen by other guards and servants. They walked through the hallway of the house slowly without making a sound, until they arrived at the garden behind the house, there was a tall fortress but behind the bushes growing below near the fort was a dog hole enough for little Claude to go through the hole.

For a long time they felt the bushes to look for the hole, it turned out that the hole was located a little more to the southeast. The waiter pulled the bush open the way for Claude to pass. Without any hesitation Claude instantly knocked himself down and crawled into the hole. Claude bowed his head and crawled out of the residence, until last on his feet he immediately stood up and cleaned his clothes which had been hit by a lot of sand and soil.

Claude looked up at the hole hinting to the servant to immediately give the cloth package containing his luggage. With a sip the waiter gave the cloth away quickly. Because he began to feel the sound of someone's move towards the back garden seems to be according to the weight of his step maybe someone is a guard, who is in charge of guarding on this night.

Shortly after he took out Claude's cloth package. The servant immediately went into hiding so that he did not have time to say goodbye to Claude one last time. He could only pray for Claude to get a protection from the creator.
