'If I were to search for my wife wedding dress, I would need to visit the maid's quarter, I'll ask for Arthral the head butler to come with me' The first thing that came out of his mind once he left his room to search for the beautiful dress of his wife.
Arden thought to himself before making a step, 'I think Arthral is at the butler's quarter right now, I'll go there to search for him' He began making his way to the butler's quarter.
Then he realizes something 'Wait, where is the location of both places in this castle?' Just like every time he just began to do something, he realizes that he didn't know the location of the places.
'ARDEN! You need to care more about your land and estate!' His own mind became mad at him and he soon realized his own mistake.
'Well, the best solutions would be to find the map of this castle, there should be one at my office' He changed his direction to his own office and then another thought comes to his mind.
'Even though I don't know about half of the locations at this castle, I still knew that in order to get into my office, I need to go through the lobby which is beside the eating room for me,' He talks to himself more and more.
'I think the steak Hans preparing is done by this time, I'll go eat the steak first!' He told himself excitedly and changed his directions for the third time, now to the eating room.
He came to the lobby and just amazed by the look 'Woah! I'm not paying enough attention to this castle, there are a mini chandelier and even some painting at this place!' Soon enough, he saw the 1 butler in front of the eating room's door.
He approached the door casually after calming down after seeing the look at the lobby. He tried to open the door, but even before his hand could reach it, the butler opened it for him.
"Thanks" He gave the butler his gratitude before continuing "Can you bring Arthral to me?" Then proceeded inside the room before the butler can even answer him.
He sat down at the chair he normally used and not long after he started sitting there, one maid entered the room.
Arden didn't notice and was just thinking, 'The dream yesterday is so good, what if it's true though? I heard from some people that dream is the picture from the future" The maid herself entered the room as quietly as possible.
When she placed the plate and utensils at the table, Arden still didn't notice her at all even though she is in front of him.
The maid started folding the napkin into fancy shape and that's when Arden noticed, he screamed loudly when he saw her "You scared me!" He quickly calmed down in mere seconds.
"I'm sorry my lord for making you shocked" The maid started apologizing instantly when Arden finished his words.
"Phew, no problem, from now on you're the head maid" Arden never thought of this in his mind at all and just blurted out some random words.
"What?" The maid responded with a confused tone at her voice and just stood there, all of her facial expression is indicating confusion, eyebrows being raised and her jaw dropped a bit.
Arden sat there and stared at the utensils "What?" Arden turned his head to face her, and he is confused as much as the maid confused, not knowing what he just did.
Both of them have some sort of staring contest and just stared at each other 'I think it's not good to go back on my words even if it's unintentionally' Then he opened his mouth.
"Uh… You heard me right? I think you are an excellent maid not like Rose" At this point, Arden just thrown out every word that came across his mind to make it as a reason.
The maid rushed out of the room with her face turning redder and redder every second. Some tears began dropping from her eyes but this doesn't make her became impolite.
She closed the door very politely and quietly, this made Arden thought of something 'What is wrong with her? That level of politeness is the highest I have seen in years!' The sound of the door disrupts his mind.
The door was being opened by Arthral, with both of his hand occupied by the plates of food, he was forced to open the door a little bit roughly, making the sound very loud.
'Finally! The food is here!' Arden waited for Arthral to finish serving all the food, then Arden realized he was not alone. There are 1 more maid and 1 more butler following him behind.
Arden saw who are the people following Arthral and thought to himself 'that butler is the one in front of the door and that maid is CASSANDRA!!' Arden realized and kept playing cool.
They are serving the foods and there she is, with her expression becoming more anxious, knowing something bad will happen to her.
Once they are done with all the foods, they stood at a place, shoulder to shoulder, with Arthral at the middle and began opening his mouth, "Is there anything you need sir?" Arthral asked with his soft voice.
"Yes actually, can you bring that maid to me?" Arden asks politely and Cassandra steps forward.
"Cassandra, where do you hid the wedding dress of my wife? If you cooperate, I won't do you any harm," Arden asks with a soft voice and an enormous smile at his face, while making a threat at the end.
"Be-below m-my b-be-bed si-sir, pl-plea-please do-don't d-do an-anyth-anything t-to m-me," She stuttered heavily, trying to hide her fear of her own lord.
"Arthral, bring that butler with you, search below her bed and find me after you found my wife's wedding dress!" Both of them rushed out of the room and started making their way to the maid's quarter.
"Now, for you, go get Rose!" She rushed out of the room without saying any words and started searching for rose, too scared to talk to Arden.
Arden began eating from the time all the maids and butlers left the room, he safe the steak for the last part and eat the other's dishes first.
'That dishes were delicious but now is the time for the big deal,' He thought to himself once he finished the other dishes.
As he pulled the plate the steak was, he could see the caramelization, the light being reflected by the steak itself and it made his eye glowing.
He used his knife and press it at the steak to test the tendency. The knife just bounced back up when he presses it down and it made his mouth watery.
He began cutting the steak in half to take a bite and his knife is like the 1000 degree knife slicing through the stack of butter.
Only a little bit of the resistance came from the meat. Used his knife as a fork (fork was not known on medieval period), he took the meat and put it in front of his eye.
He examines it and his mouth became more watery, he could see the meat talking to him "Eat me! Eat me!" And he ate the steak.
The juice from the steak came to his mouth as he chews it and every spice can be tasted by his tongue.
He finished it instantly and doesn't even realize when he finished the steak. He thought to himself, "Where did the steak go?" Took him long enough to realize he ate it all.
He just wiped his mouth with the napkin and waited for the servants to come to him. Not long after he had started waiting, Arthral and the other butler came inside the room, an ugly box in their hand.
They started walking as soon as they close the door, "Sir, this is the only thing we found below Cassandra's bed" He looked at it and examined it for a few seconds.
"This is the thing, Arthral, you can place it at my bedroom, just enter and when my wife asked, just told her I gave you the permission, your friend would be needed here," Arden said while smiling.
While talking about this, some of his salivae dropped down, his tongue still can't forget the taste of that steak covered in multiple steaks.
Once Arthral left the room, Arden turned his attention to the other butler and asked, "Hey, what's your name?" He is curious about it and always feel a bit awkward when he is talking to someone he doesn't know his/her name is.
"My name is Bob, an odd name given by my parents but I still like it!" Bob said excitedly and happily when Arden asked him a question.
Not a mere seconds, Bob and Arden are distracted by the door being opened and the sound of it…
