Chapter 4: M-Mother...?
Christopher didn't care.
He had died.
And it was not a pathetic death either, he died as he avenged his parents.
He didn't have any regrets.
He was now free.
So what if he was in Hell?
So what if he couldn't understand what was going on?
He didn't have to understand it.
The worse that can happen is that they torture him. He was already prepared for this day when he chose to join the underworld. His thirst for revenge was so high that he, a 21-year-old boy who learned the truth about his parent's death, decided to join the underworld without any lower boundaries at all. If he gained something from doing something, he would do it no matter how bad it was.
That was how he rose to the point he did.
He was already prepared to pay for his deeds one day, whether that would happen on Earth when he was alive, or in Hell when he had died, it didn't matter.
So unbounded Christopher didn't care.
A random man dared to talk to him like that, that man had to pay. It didn't matter who this man was, whether he was someone with power, Christopher, who was mentally prepared to pay for his sins, let his instincts take over and decided to act wild for one last time.
And, he beat the shit out of the butler.
"T-That's Young Master Vaan...?"
"I have never seen him act like that in front of Aldric."
"Yeah, wasn't he usually tame in front of that guy? What happened? Did he finally get on Young Master's nerve?"
"No... that's not Young Master... Young Master may take out his frustration and look down on most of the servants, there were even cases of him hitting some servants in the past, however, something like this has never happened before.
Young Master has never hitten someone to the point that his entire face is covered in blood. I didn't even know the Young Master is capable of doing it."
"S-Should we s-stop him?" A servant spoke up.
"What are you talking about? He is doing that to Aldric, the man he usually acted tame in front of, what do you think he would do to us normal servants who he had been harassing whenever he is in a bad mood? Do you have a death wish?" The other servant simply shot him down.
There was no way they were going to make a move.
Young Master Vaan... his eyes were different than before...
Those eyes... they resembled a fierce demon...
"T-Then what should we do?" Another servant questioned.
Since the Young Master has already caused so much chaos, if they didn't make a move, they wouldn't get scot-free either.
"There is nothing we can do, just send someone and report this to Lady Astra. She is the only one who can deal with this situation."
A servant spoke up, then, one of the servants stepped forward,
"I'll go call her."
Other servants nodded, and the servant who stepped up turned around and rushed away. The rest of the servants turned towards their Young Master, observing everything while keeping their distance.
"I'll ask you one last time, who are you?"
Christopher questioned.
The butler's face was bloodied, even if he wanted to answer, with his mouth filled with blood and his broken teeth and Christopher lifting his head as he pulled his hair, it was impossible for him to say anything without choking in his own blood.
Christopher, however, didn't care,
*Bam*
He smashed the butler's face into the floor again, Aldric's nose broke. Christopher looked into his eyes again. Aldric's eyes widened in fear.
He had to answer.
"I... I am Aldric... Kwaakk! Kwaakhh!!"
Aldric replied, even if he choked in his own blood, he still replied.
"I... I am y-your butler..."
"My butler? And you still dared to talk to me like that?" Christopher narrowed his eyes.
"I... I apologize..."
"D-Did Young Master Vaan lose his memory?" A servant who was observing everything from afar questioned.
"T-That is not entirely impossible...
It would explain why he looks so different than before..." Another servant nodded.
"That is correct..."
"But how is this possible? Did something happen?" Another servant questioned.
The servants just glanced at each other.
Nothing happene- no wait.
The servants recalled.
"The Young Master was beaten up by those 5. Did one of them hit his head?"
"Where did they get the courage to attack the Young Master this brutally?" A servant questioned in shock.
"No wait, it has been a while since Young Master was attacked, I even met him once after that, he still remembered everything. How did he suddenly lose his memory?" Another servant questioned.
"I do not know..." The other servants shook their heads.
They didn't have an answer.
Young Master's sudden change.
They couldn't find a reason behind it. Right now, they could only watch the situation.
"This is not the first time you did something like this, is it? You were way too comfortable when you talked to me like that, tell me, who gave you the balls to act like that in front of your boss?" Christopher questioned.
He couldn't understand much, however, he was sure about a few things, this man was his servant and a servant who dared to be rude to his boss, that was definitely something not seen very often.
Christopher wanted to know more about it.
"I... I apolo-"
"I do not want your apology, fucktard.
Name, give me a name.
Who gave you the balls to act like this?"
"I-I was s-sent b-by Lady Serap-"
Before the Butler could answer the question,
"Vaan! What new trouble are you creating now!?"
A loud shout was heard.
"Haah!? Which fucker dare-" Christopher was about to shout back and lash at the woman who just shouted at him but as soon as his eyes fell on the woman who had just walked into the room, his eyes widened in surprise.
"M-Mother...?"
