Marquis Seiren's Mansion
"Where is he? Where is that fucker!?"
A beautiful girl with a dazzling appearance suddenly stormed inside the hallway of his father's mansion, angrily shouting at the guarding maids of the hallway, where the door to the guest room was located.
"Where is he? Where is he?"
She aggravatedly asked the maids of the hallway, seeking the answer to the question she wanted to know, but the maids kept their silence in accordance with the order of the Marquis.
With her beautiful white hair signifying and resembling her father, the Marquis of Nevestria and his lineage, her beautiful blood-red eyes and white eyelashes that seems to resemble the gorgeous appearance of the nobles of the night, her perfectly accentuated nose and supple lips colored in blood-red that complimented her pale white color of the skin.
It's no wonder that she's considered as one of the most beautiful women in the high society of the Human World. Often referred to as someone whose beauty was equal to the Imperial Princesses of the Arkansas Empire, and the other nations. It's even rumoured that she even rivaled the beauty of the most beautiful races in the universe, the elves and nobles of the night, vampires.
Moreover, she's also extremely intelligent that she even passed the exam at the Earthen Academy without any backdoors and backers. A prestigious university for the Human World funded by the Universal Alliance to nurture and teach the young sprouts of the future generation of the Humans with no backdoor and backers.
Well, she's one of those sprouts and she's currently studying at this school too.
However, this time, that demeanor of a beautiful and noble woman was missing, as she continuously shouted at the honorable maids of the corridor, whose only role was to guard the guest room, the room where the second son of his father, that fucker Keizen, was lying in.
Her view went to the different maids of the hallway, and that's when he noticed a particularly insignificant one that you might not notice if you didn't observe the hall.
She asked that frightened maid on the furthest side of the corner beside those strong willed maids.
"Hey, you! Hey! Do you know where that man is?"
"I d-dont know, m-miss." The maid immediately answered with a cowardly tone looking at her with fear written in her eyes, as she's the daughter of the Marquis she was serving with.
While the strong willed maids keep observing and keeping their silence.
"Okay, I understand." She replied coldly to her answer which frightened the maid more.
The frightened maid suddenly went to the girl's location and immediately kneeled and begged for her forgiveness.
"Please d-don't fire me, young miss! It's the only job I have that can support my family. I'll do everything young miss, so please, don't fire me!"
She sobbed at the cold feet of the daughter of Marquis expecting for the worst, just like the rumours say.
She just sighed, and assured the deeply frightened maid.
"Okay, so for now, relax, and don't worry about it. I'm not my brother you know?"
She showed a simple smile that captivated the frightened maid.
"What's your name?" She asked the maid.
"It's Adelaine, young miss!" The maid answered respectfully.
"Okay, I'll remember it, don't be frightened to me, I'm not my brother, okay?" She said to the maid.
"Yes miss." the maid answered respectfully
Where is he, I wonder?
He's an abominable bastard that even she, with all her intelligence, can't think of a reason why his lovely father, the Marquis, was still holding on to that bastard.
I already gave up on that man you know? So why? My dear father...
That man, a despicable human being was notorious with various atrocities within the Empire such as; child trafficking, sexual assault, cheating in a prestigious exams, slavery of other races, grave coercion, fraud, scandals, money laundering and many more crime that might put him in jail if he's an ordinary citizen of the Empire.
You can name a crime, he probably does it once.
The Biggest Douchebag of the Arkansas Empire.
That's what he's known for.
But regardless of those heinous crimes that he committed in the Empire. It never resulted in him being jailed for a time period, never in his life.
It's because of only one reason, my caring father.
When this bastard was accused or found guilty of some despicable crimes in the Empire.
My father always does something with all of his power to make him unacquainted with the crime, or the judge will rule the court with just a lighter sentence for him.
I don't know the reason but my father seems to love him very much.
However, these past few weeks, my father seems to have a change of mind, and he gets tired of him.
It's due to an event that happened some weeks ago.
That bastard cheated with his fiance, the daughter of the Duke of Montague, Charlotte Montague, leading to the two families' relationship being strained.
My father also gives signs of wanting to give up to him, leading to him announcing to the world that he's already half-disowned by his family due to this event.
Well, that didn't end well with their relationship as it led to one big argument with him and my father.
It also resulted in him packing his things up and leaving our mansion.
However, after a few days, a big news came to us, something bad happened to that bastard.
Those who have a strong grudge on him, knowing that he's already half-disowned by the Marquis, initiated a hunt search on him in the Empire.
Well, according to the reports, they beat him up severely in the alleys of the Empire— when he was found, he suffered some despicable wounds all over his body and he was unconscious.
That's why he came back directly to the mansion.
And how my father was forced to care for him for the time being.
Due to libelous rumours that might spread in Empire concerning his good reputation and family's dignity.
Also, even if his child was a trash bastard, he's still one of his own blood and he still loves him.
That's why he can't see him get beat up this badly.
That's how kind my father is.
And according to my own sources, my brother was treated comfortably right now in one of the guest rooms in the hallway of the mansion.
For reference, there are a lot of guest rooms in our mansion signifying how big of a place it is. There's also a long hallway that many rooms are situated with.
It's also the reason why I can't find him right now.
My father seems to have a reason why he's not telling me which room that bastard was currently staying in.
Well, according to my father, that man did not wake up even if it's already for the past few days, maybe it's from the wounds? trauma? We don't know right now.
On the other hand, this was also the time that I went to our mansion after my school weekdays this week. The reason? To check on the condition of this trash of a brother.
"Well, it's also saturday... and it's my free time to laze around the house."
I have nothing to do in the Earthen Academy anyways. I finished all of my work beforehand so I won't cram myself in school.
Also, mingling with people of high society was mind-numbing as fuck.
The blatant sophistry of the nobles coupled with their hypocrisy and narcissistic tendencies was too astonishing for my dear naive self.
So I just chose to preserve myself and just go home to check on this man, and my dear father.
Then, something comes up in my mind.
Maybe those people who had some grudges gave their all on beating him in the alleys of the Empire, so right now, his damaged brain might get restarted and fixed, right? I hope that they make some sense to him.
However, I still don't know when he will wake up.
He deserved those endless beating for all I know after those despicable things that he did in the Empire.
Walking to the hallway, I planned to talk to one of my informers in the mansion.
I hired those people to gain information on many things that I want to know. It's also a precaution if something happens like I will be forced to arrange marriage, something like that.
Regardless, I spoke to them in advance to gather information about my brother and the place he was in.
"Do you where on what hell is that bastard was?!"
I asked one of my informers, the one who works as a stationary cleaner of the vases, and the walls of the hallway.
"He's in the 12th guest room, miss. The room was in the far right."
"The Marquis also ordered us to not let anyone enter his room excluding you."
My informant added with sincere caution in his face and voice.
But then, I replied seriously.
"I'm not just anyone you know? I'm the daughter of Marquis and I have the right to know about my brother's condition."
I answered firmly to the serious informer.
"Yes ma'am, I understand."
She entered the door to the guest room, the 12th room on the far right.
She found a white-haired man with the same as hers, sleeping peacefully in the simple bed of the room, the sunlight lightens up his beautiful face from the windows. The birds chirping was also heard that seems to sing him a harmony, with various sound from the rustling of the trees, the different voices of people, the busy streets of Empire created this harmonica of the nature that solidifies a slow yet rhythm breathing heart of a man, Keizen, the Biggest Douchebag of the Empire.
