CHAPTRE 8

" So, that man is Marquess Sanjay's son. " The man with long black hair, gazed towards the exit.

" Yes, you're right. He was the 3rd son of Marquees Sanjay. Is there a problem? " Task Amon.

The man with long black hair, glanced at Amon with a cold and mysterious look.

He said with a serious expression on his face in response to Amon's question.

" Amon, you can't be too curious about all my business. Do not exceed your limits. " That's a warning to Amon. That he should not interfere too much in his affairs.

Hearing the warning, Amon nodded in understanding with a reluctant face.

" Then, continue with the task. " Say the long black haired man.

The Marquess Sanjay Castle dining room.

Inside the dark and cold dining room, Violet sat on the dining table chair with great hope and confidence.

Violet had been waiting for Berick for 3 hours, she kept confirming her heart that Berick was coming.

" It's been 3 hours. Why hasn't he come yet? " Violet wondered, with eyes constantly looking towards the entrance of the dining room.

| Though I was hungry, but for her, I held back my hunger. | Thought Violet.

" No, Berick may still have business so he can be this delicate. " Violet strengthened her heart and mind.

Hopefully, Violet sat there and waited for Berick.

He waited and kept waiting there. Eric came and asked.

" mrs? " Eric called out to Violet who was still sitting on the dining table chair.

| Nyona is still in the dining table chair, does the mistress each remember her first meal with the young master? | Thought Eric.

Violet looked at Eric and she asked, What's wrong.

" What's up Eric? " Ask Violet.

" No, I just wanted to ask how was your breakfast with young master Berick? "

Eric asked like that, because he thought Violet had finished her breakfast and still wanted to remember how it felt to eat together with her son, for the first time.

Violet who got such a question, she with her tired face smiled and answered Eric.

" I haven't had breakfast with Berick. He hasn't come yet. " After Violet was a little disappointed.

Eric who heard it, he was astonished and confused. He met Berick, and Berick said he had breakfast.

" Mrs, I just passed the young master, and he said. Had breakfast. " Eric said that to Violet.

Violet was silent for a moment, her face turning moody.

" mrs? " Eric asked.

| He knows, if food will be given to workers if it is past mealtime. He's mirroring me. | New Violet remembers that.

...----------------...

Berick is my son who I have noticed most often, because he was a child. I always take the time to look and stroke her hair at night.

Sometimes I pat her finely, when she has nightmares. He might not know if I did it for him.

I kept waiting for him on the dining table chair thinking that I should be nice in front of him.

I've been waiting 4 hours for him to have breakfast with me. Maybe he still has business, so he can be this close.

I kept thinking like that, until Eric came and told me that Berick said he had breakfast.

In fact, it's not like that. I was just waiting for him in front of the empty and silent dining table. As well as eyes that kept staring at the entrance of the dining room.

I thought, how should I behave in front of him when he arrives. But as it turns out, Berick was just playing me.

And I just remembered, if the food in this castle will be given to the workers after mealtime.

And that's an absolute rule, here.

Berick, he's playing me. I think he's changed. But in fact it's not.

Eric who was still standing next to me, he asked again.

" mrs? " Erik asked worriedly.

I stared blankly at Eric, because I was confused by what I was doing right now.

I stared at him blankly for a moment, then turned around speechlessly. And I stood up from my seat.

Eric who saw me standing up, he asked in fret.

" mrs? do you not eat at all?? " Ask Eric.

I replied, leaving the dining room.

" I'll eat outside, just. " My words are cold.

...----------------...

Violet returned to her room, and she shut herself inside.

Eric, feeling guilty, visits Berick and asks him.

" Young master, why didn't you come that time? do you know, if the madam is waiting for you. " Eric asked.

Berick who was writing, he spoke in an indifferent and uncaring tone.

" Do you think I want to eat with him? Of course I don't want to. I could have died young from eating with him. " Say Berick indifferent.

" He hasn't even eaten anything, sir. You can't keep it that way. " Eric.

Berick asks Eric to leave, because he doesn't want to hear anything about Violet.

" Go Eric. " Word.
