Standing in front a80b3f3c42 of my son’s 906b15608d bedroom door, I 908d39d349 listened carefully to 7906ed9ca6 the sounds coming 32e2e3ef5f from inside.7568a39196e42d8f

It was quiet, suggesting that e1859349d6 Jeremyon had fallen asleep early, 357137b3e0 likely in shock from his b7facbf502 heartbreak.a9eb745ea4a4137c

“M-madam…”fb3c9836e26cd488

Perhaps my behavior seemed f94d6d5641 too harsh, as one c4b8bd4b8b of Jeremyon’s servants hesitantly d8c6a79f07 tried to stop me. It seemed like he was 1d2051b6bb new, judging by his unfamiliar f54d2b5ca4 face.578e56fdc8d0244b

Hmph, foolish boy. This wasn’t the time to 005d431e84 be stopping me but rather 27d12b7149 helping me—that was the proper 34ec10f328 way to serve his master.d9e352e3fc0ac7f9

Jeremyon had skipped meals 006018b54e for four whole days! If he collapsed, the a96024e48e ones who would suffer 4e0a52b320 the most were the 9cfb89c645 servants attending to him.5e46bd539f90f2ac

Of course, even though they 592179bb40 served their master, especially someone 24f612fd02 as capricious as Jeremyon or 65ef676b9a myself, they couldn’t force him aeb9a5eba6 to eat, no matter how 3f8afbf5cc much it was for his 36eb11a609 health.36534d542af4d4a9

That’s why I had to 6f5fba050d step in… though this new f23094e96b servant was oblivious to that c305b5803d fact!c02f3dd49fc07ab3

Even when I 7eb2d6cd83 tried to give 8e9dfb3412 him things I f687b6e5ac thought he would ab2f762269 like, I couldn’t 3847920ae9 figure out what 0146811a4a that might be.8963a807e9bde06d

Jeremyon wasn’t particularly 28e9de593e greedy for money, cf0bd2a512 but that was 5533cc49da because his desire a5760f4c1a for power outweighed 51721e012c material wealth. He had always seen eb2974d38f money as a means 5ce855d72f to power since childhood.95ad8ae1e26b43c7
