Brakk!
The door was pushed by them. "Pardon us young master, for entering the permit sign. But you really have to—"
Betharia—si the ferocious maid suddenly closed her mouth when she found Carver's room so quiet.
In the next instant, they rounded their eyes once they realized that the boy had disappeared from within.
"T... young master is missing!" with a panicked face.
"Quickly search in all directions!"
"I'll look in the closet."
"I'm looking in the corridor."
All the existing maids immediately moved in search of the whereabouts of Carver who had suddenly disappeared from inside the room.
They stepped with panicked and agitated faces.
"Young master!" Sometimes they scream while they search.
...*...
You think I'm stupid? Of course not! I won't be that easy to catch. Carver smiled knot. He kept running all the way. Stepping in the park while occasionally hiding behind trees and bushes.
"I won't catch you easily" he muttered softly as he continued running.
Carver finally arrived at the end of the back garden. He stopped his steps when he saw some maids who were drying clothes while chatting together.
"Have you heard about the news?"
"News? What news?"
"News about Duke Karl. He had suddenly fainted," said the maid as she continued to dry some of the clothes they had just washed.
Carver hid in one of the bushes that were close enough to them making it easy to hear what they were talking about.
Carver rounded his eyes as soon as he heard what one of the maids said about his father.
"What?! How come?"
"Is he not sick?"
"Don't talk so recklessly. If until the news were to spread out, it would be a problem for master Duke," sambar one of the maids who looked more mature among the others.
"A. I just assumed…"
"But you still can't talk carelessly! Especially if the news is heard to the ears of the young master. He'll be very sad."
"Sorry…"
"That's it, stop gossiping and quickly get our work done. We still have a lot to take care of."
"All right…"
Some of the maids moved out of place as soon as they finished. Leaving an empty-looking garden with no one aware that Carver had been hiding behind a bush.
A... is dad sick? The child's face suddenly turned moody upon hearing what the maids had just said.
Is that true? Is dad really sick?
I should go visit him.
Carver moved out of place. Run towards the father's room.
The boy ran along the corridor and moved about slackly as several maids and servants looked for him.
"Young master?!" shouted a few maids who kept walking looking for Carver with eyes rolling around.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you screaming like this?" ask one of the maids who is walking from the other direction.
"We were looking for the young master, he disappeared from his room."
"What's? How come?"
"The young master refused to eat because Zelda was absent. Then he went on a rampage and finally escaped."
"Watch, let's find!"
