Kapitel 8: To Meet The Beggar
"Good morning, young master"
The next day, Mira came to his room early in the morning. Henry didn't want to wake up. That bed was super comfy and he felt like he could sleep all day.
'How did ancient people have these super comfortable things?'
He lazily woke up and saw Mira was waiting for him to wake up.
"Good morning, Mira. Did you bring my breakfast?'
After getting off the bed, he saw Mira empty-handed.
"No, you can get it from the kitchen."
As she conveyed with a displeased voice, Henry's mood got ruined early in the morning.
'Are you fucking kidding me?'
He was the son of the duke. These servants were supposed to serve them well. So how could she ask him to get breakfast by himself?
'Is that how you want to play? Alright, then!'
Henry didn't say anything. He pretended like that pitiful and naive child.
This 20-year-old Henry was originally not such a kind person. He was originally born with an evil side. Even though he was all friendly, that didn't mean others could bully him easily.
When Henry realised that the maid, Mira, was initially treating him poorly, he thought back to something.
In the memories of Henry, he found out that even his maids bullied him. Stress and getting abandoned were the main reasons for him to let go of his innocence.
At first, he acted evil in order to get rid of those people's barbs and gossip. But later he knew it was the best way to control everyone. So he became evil for real.
Among those maids, this Mira also could have been included.
'So you want to bully me? Okay!'
Henry smirked secretly and turned to Mira who was looking outside the window.
"I am not hungry, so I don't need breakfast. Help me get ready. I want to go outside."
Henry said and sat down on the bed. Mira flicked her tongue and rummaged through the cupboard to find a suitable suit.
"Here we go! You have to dress more luxuriously. If not, that beggar will shine more than you. You need to be more competent to get the duke by your side."
As she kept babbling nonsense, Henry watched her changing his clothes roughly. It hurt. She was really reckless.
"You have such fair skin!".
She touched Henry's stomach and said. She looked like she found a treasure. She turned him around and touched his back too.
'What the hell?'
Feeling disgusted by her unnecessary touches, he tried to struggle.
To distract her from him, he kept asking her questions and acted like he didn't care about her touching him.
"What beggar?"
It seemed to work. She stopped touching him and put on more clothes. The clothes there had so many layers. For his upper body, he wore three layers. And for the down, he had to wear three layers including long shoes like boots.
He didn't want to be naked in front of her. But he couldn't refuse either. If so she would pay more attention to it then. So he let her change his clothes, closing his eyes and wishing her not to touch him.
Luckily, she didn't touch him anymore.
"Who else? That girl our duke brought! I heard she lived with beggars. I really don't believe she is his child. Why would she end up with beggars then?"
She talked very frankly. Maybe she never bothered that Henry might expose her.
Henry didn't reply to her. After it was done, he looked at himself in the mirror.
'Handsome! Is it really? Shit! I am not very handsome, but cute. This is hurting my pride.'
He noticed his hair was still a mess. He was looking in the mirror without taking care of his hair.
"Let me comb your hair."
She showed him the comb and let him sit down. While she combed his hair, Henry felt like she was taking a lot of time. She kept stroking and combing the same spot more than five times.
'Don't tell me she likes my hair too?'
"Your hair is very soft."
As Mira commented, Henry, who already expected that, "...."
"You must not let her steal your spot. I think it would be better to throw her away from the mansion, right? She doesn't deserve to be here. She must leave!"
She still kept talking while combing his hair.
'How dare you talk like that to the duke's child? I am sure he will kill you if he knew.'
Henry conceded those words must have affected the real Henry too. If he didn't know about the past and wanted to be good, he would have listened to Mira and would have tried to teach Ricarda a lesson.
'What a sharp mouth!'
Henry watched her combing his hair and finally tying it up into a ponytail.
He never had long hair before. He once saw how long Henry's hair was when he was 14. Long hair bothered him very much.
'Why do I have to grow hair this long?'
In his original world, he never saw any men who had such long hair even though some existed.
However, long hair matched well with his outfit. So he thought it must be the fashion style in this world.
"Where do you want to go?"
Mira asked while looking at the reflection of Henry in the mirror.
"To meet that beggar."
