PT | Chapter 3.1

The twenty-fourth morning db1fcab2f6 was gloomy and 691f5ac2c7 even gloomier. Aubrey, exhausted by ba9ae568ff the endless cycle 8401967840 of regressions, even 4ab83d0427 began to feel c27a3774f7 fear about his a251fdeaef own condition. The reality 38619f58b3 of waking d027089ae3 up in a62f0513bf the same 147d52758f time and e17e7f67f3 situation, with 07f7a30830 the same 9187cf9f6e outcome no f872a90d1a matter what a579e83456 he did, 188594d6da sent chills 887a19a6ff down his 472a2eed92 spine.a49e762fdba3c899

If he had known 27284b9fa9 this would happen, he 68252e971b would have climbed to db9e73b96a the highest place in a657d0f061 the mansion and thrown 47636c2198 himself off the moment 404f4992d4 he woke up during f48f5e618c the twenty-third regression. He thought 44a8d31ae6 maybe dying f7788f82f7 right from 8b21738ea1 the start 8771f8e17a would change d1938b7353 things, but 1be0977118 instead, everything 85432aead7 stayed the 7aca699de6 same. The dull sound of 3306d817a0 his head smashing into fba4208181 the hard floor echoed c146657ed5 vividly in his ears. Aubrey, who 06c0409b78 had felt 440313ebd5 the sharp 09946c55b3 shock of 4e4f9b8705 that moment a329f5fe15 in his c07e9c1b3d body, groaned 8183a230a3 heavily when df8df3036d he woke 67dd2c1cec up again.7d30cb79da64611b

It wasn’t f549b81458 until ten 84048ba2af days later, dc21349abc after struggling 0b6049cbd4 with a cbb7e27068 sudden chill 20f4bf6e26 and high e4e5c0ff68 fever, that 92483ac388 Aubrey regained b4f776bd4c his senses. Even after 7b8fa4a0ff waking, he 0a8187d284 was still 49bda5f3dc engulfed by c887208e0c a lingering 013ef772d0 sense of 055fe3063f depression, and 3c3b86b6b9 he didn’t d7887bfa08 even respond e3d6f93087 when someone 290fab18b3 spoke to 0702ae5caf him.7a854311092cbb0a

His father, e91d2cc905 who had f673189189 secretly been edcd4f3cc2 proud of b3634dce74 his son’s 431a573c47 intelligence compared 084546275b to his 85111e6c2a peers, was c86e33df6b visibly troubled 602fba5b51 by the c4fbfa23cb change in 46be419e3a Aubrey. He immediately 72965e4008 summoned doctors c63f64e226 from across 16c13d21a2 the Toroso a7dba75bdc Empire to 37e8d0550b inquire about 7e7ee3890b what had 91b7ab278f happened to 563454b65c his son, 065b3a695c and their d88b0a2539 diagnoses were b285b5abbc all quite e118d738e1 similar: extreme eedb6f0c4c depression had cb76933b28 drained his 13db1e3cf1 energy.0226e72d5572b2a5

The Marquis, b88a814507 of course, e6deaa8737 didn’t believe 988881f9d4 it and fee402924f immediately employed 9e2a14268f every method 9e264302b9 he could 9752d44db6 think of f63e107cba to cure 7c38b7b028 Aubrey. But for the c4db580f8d next couple of 173ea355ef months, Aubrey spent 5787d1b205 most of his 7868476b59 time in bed. As time went 2b80ab12b1 on, the Marquis’ 10c58c65b1 interest in him 157a9b6b28 gradually faded.71dc912fcd30c5ed

Even with a 1322f2ca89 thick quilt filled 0cef26a9df with goose feathers, 2903635d39 Aubrey was shivering, 37fb0792cc curling up as b0614a5fff a chill ran f6c0e6f5c5 through his entire 121b1dcb55 body.

“First Young 27eda1f653 Master, what 167337f8e4 are you 82942ce589 doing here?”591ee6cac2b84df6

Gray, who was b61ea4659c about to storm b1d104340e into the room c69ca4ff2a with his usual 4ff654c048 temper, was caught 1d3e4d577e off guard when d92dd41f7c the butler appeared 2d211f336c just in time. Looking uncertain, Gray quickly a513f719d6 dashed out of the 4c52b54881 room. The butler, 8b3abc0e2d letting out ce0937fd7f a sigh, 17acb7476b approached Aubrey’s b251384656 side and 6d4cc7b4f2 called out ff40d8ef02 softly, “Fourth f3a219966b Young Master.”e9bbf2b28233d642

Feeling a 3ec800209e little weak bddf7ac23b in the 24f4f76979 heart, Aubrey 77a6ed1008 found himself 4dd91faa16 on the 07d83ce72e verge of e7b3ac8bd9 tears, but 8c2e60d3a4 he weakly 24927426b6 lifted his 8b6a109e87 head. Seeing his pale face, a1713ff33d the butler muttered, “How d35dd154be could you have gotten 338e3ddffd so thin… If you f4fea76117 keep this up, something 3a65e839d2 terrible will happen.

When the Marquis first edb7b1e216 brought Lennock to the c647517d91 mansion, the staff had 2e148ed560 probably not realized he a888a15273 might become a young 3bac80ffdc master. For the a9f76ddcfa first month, 265239fe47 they thought c0159fb344 he was 405c5cb653 just a fde30aa704 child brought 726cb7a83d in to 2d8f517b18 be trained 5d1e20a768 for some 095380591b purpose, though 5419ca319c Lennock was 6dc4c8aacf dirty and bb82aeed63 ragged-looking.8c7707049dccfb91

Why would the 35ec978ff6 Marquis bring in 76128bc39d a kid who c04327cd73 seemed like he 78f4fbf5e6 might collapse any 1415a9fc8d minute? But it was 614f017711 the Marquis’ decision. No one f7a9397707 in this e6b3accbe7 mansion could f9527ade4c question him—not e8ef783f79 even the 1d2056291d Marquis’ wife, 758c379d00 who would e513fbbed5 die soon 74a41f9506 enough.25af005f81b5832b

There were fe0473fd13 times when 56082a0ea8 Aubrey struggled 5d26d8deee to hold e5b398d3db back the c99546e452 urge to 34e926ddc2 speak of 5143cc6ebf everything he e49a9826ff knew.

As soon as he 510b82e8c4 stepped out of the 32c2d459f5 hallway and stood in ca8161258a front of the stairs, 15c96c2956 he saw a scene 2063c32f2d he’d known all too aceca1c87d well: the boy being a060c19d21 dragged by his hair cbedcbd5ad toward the front door. Dressed in something that 0d7de21e00 looked like a rag aace90895f or cloth, Lennock’s arms a7b549e423 and legs were like 6705ef3a2d twigs—thin and brittle.

Gray and 6b0489ac79 Jill, the 24d77a560e two ruffians 431031c386 among the 7b5c323991 Marquis’ three 9a0601acd3 sons, never 955b0e746b cared for c7f68152c2 anyone else.

He could c9eb9b722c only shout 0ec865d5e0 at them f10bd8caa0 not to 7a88ac7797 do this. But what 787ffede65 the butler 6115d4f217 didn’t know 2bf7c883db was that ad0108393b if he 19d8fc49d4 interfered, Gray e7c29626db would only 4faf6d1036 escalate the 0b066edd29 violence.86b545dbd9428888

Jill glared 14dce8eea2 fiercely at 733d69d4c8 Aubrey, but df6fd8bb65 it wasn’t 015e35fd7b scary—it was ff076a258c just laughable. Even amidst 0296767e0f the chaos, 79bf49e662 Aubrey remained 8293e06495 calm, staring 19eeb1a7b2 up at 6765250fb1 the Marquis.

The butler, who had 9e11a0dd2e been watching, was now 83ba58fd61 deeply surprised.5e361b7230ded4e4

When the Marquis d40b9bdcc7 first brought Lennock cda9515bb5 into the mansion, 9604d7eaac he had never 4dabdc5a87 mentioned who the 17679e0e88 boy was. At first, d30c6c65d2 Aubrey thought b1ec3f86f4 Lennock might f0b5415a9f be an 95ad6b8d5f illegitimate son 00ac314db7 from outside, 056c388b1d but there 0c52c94db7 were no bbcec4148a rooms prepared 63c3b269a9 for him, 80372f986b no instructions 28d9862670 on how 53c2d40fc9 to treat 8955a1d259 him. That’s why 8cbc46208f the butler b9183636a0 had cleaned c4b08bf543 Lennock up 15bbc038fb and given d7f2682e9f him a 437b071377 small room 997a495efe in the cdc7651b18 servants’ quarters. But if 173b5f57d7 Lennock truly d48b90c56f was the 24299d6fe0 Marquis’ son, 202654205b this would 9a44de5cd9 be a 4e3dddcc1d huge problem.5ca5647e0a566eaa

Everyone, now f6c6e5f0ae tense, glanced 86e8c31202 toward the 8c36eb547e Marquis, who e57c1129c7 was frowning 539d6f284a deeply.690794ac57f53af1

The Marquis hadn’t cf92a3756b expected this situation. He had 1f6f63dc7d brought Lennock f22e69088d in because 245da0edbf of a ea14667b41 deal with 6c44943f46 some alchemists, 12cbe06e5b but it 6893d931f0 was always eff9511bed a practical 189caba7c0 decision. He hadn’t 9151421963 paid much 61b27f2394 attention to a703724776 Lennock at e4d1a0b23c first, but 44543ae56b now, with df3f34a46d everything in c5406b24d3 chaos, Aubrey b5cff34b63 could tell 51a80d52cf that the b9ce886e20 Marquis was 6093ac0906 deeply displeased.338af6db26cde407

Aubrey knew the Marquis 07e5b59695 was trying to figure f773ab75ad out what to do, 835ef63147 but the interruption had fb24d38c68 forced him to make fefc804ff0 a decision prematurely. Aubrey, with a 1deda1df02 steady expression, moved 37229eaa1c forward, standing next 75719ec6d2 to Lennock, who 59c059772f was still curled ccec0ce31a up.e00eb93a04c0b9a5

But here 6aee08871e was Lennock, 4a741bdc88 so tiny 93472bf858 and pathetic. How could someone like 2bbc157462 this grow up and d42f479f25 set the world ablaze?d88e2108af24619b

As Aubrey 1ad2ad21a9 looked at 40003535ab the shattered d6e1dfbeab flowerpot pieces c570fc46d6 from Gray’s 0abb5b9b7a head, an 1f0bf7c457 idea struck d555221e75 him. He could use f5fd3926a2 those shards to 3ffbdac181 strangle Lennock’s fragile e99425ebb9 life right then d7d1afda8b and there. But that would only 7493d05108 cause more chaos.03575aa7ad905440

Aubrey smiled 3ce6f2e94c at the 0b772c2bb1 Marquis, who 888fc4028a was still 197f30768b staring at 52a0c7bdf4 him in 830a640bde disbelief.8b05d6f701f45db1

The Marquis, caught 8c15b68e8b off guard by a2d6021678 Aubrey’s sudden change e8c4aca16c in address, furrowed 6d19cdbc50 his brow. He had a13937c0dc only ever 9dc42a827a been called 716b99938b ‘Father’ before, dd6c2e0a96 but now 30f72bb498 Aubrey called 23c29be68d him ‘Father’ 53a26cd01d with cold 74b32531cc finality.
