"what's interesting?" Clayton asked him.

Alton placed the paper down and looked at Clayton with a smirk on his face. "my father have said in this letter. That I am in charge of the people in this estate and keeping everything up to code." Alton said.

"Okay?"

"He said. . . "Residents of this estate" he didn't just say staff so that means I'm in charge of the family members too." Alton smirked.

Clayton realized what mistake the count made as soon as Alton explained. Clayton looked at his young lord and gave a sweatdrop. Once again his plan worked. . . He managed to say something to get into the counts head. . . To make him slip up like that. .

Clayton stayed stood Infront of Alton and saw that the young lord was thinking about something else. Clayton noticed something in Alton's eyes that was a bigger shock then what he was thinking before. His eyes. . . That mischievous glint in his eyes. . . Nyoria doesn't have that. . . And the count don't have that look either. . . There is only one family that looks that way in this whole kingdom. . But how is Alton looking like them? Is Nyoria. . . No she couldn't be she's just a maid. .

"Clayton. I think it's time I retire to my room now." Alton said taking the document with him a smile on his face.

~Next day~

At 5am you could hear the knights training in their training grounds. However you could also hear them training a certain black haired boy. "My lord, are you sure this is your first time holding a sword?" Arther asked him.

Alton looked at him smiling some, so far he was doing everything right. He nodded his head as a reply to the captain of the knights. Arther looked at him and gave a small smile as he watched Alton swing down with his sword. Right now it's doing some strength training.

However after Alton having to:
Lift and pull a waggon,
Carrying heavy boxes and bags to the stables,
Lifting some of the animals when needed

His muscles and strength are already up there. Holding a wooden sword is nothing to him after having to do all that. The captain could see some of his scars on his body and he frowned. The young lord must have been through some hard ship. . .

That's when the knight noticed something. Alton wasn't wearing clothes fit for a member of the count family he is still wearing commoners clothes. "my lord. . . Why are you still wearing the commonest clothes?" Arther asked him.

Alton stopped and looked at the man that is only in his twenties, dark purple eyes and light brown hair that had a small ponytail. Alton smiled at him and looked up at the ceiling some. "It's because I'm different from them and I never want to forget that. No matter how much my life changes I want to always remember where I come from." Alton explained smiling.

Arther looked at him shocked as he heard his young lord say that. He then started to smile and nodded his head as he said that. "My lord . . . It is coming up to 8am you should get going." Arther said.

Alton gave a small whine as he heard that come from the captain's mouth. "Already? No fair I was having fun!" Alton whined.

The captain gave a small chuckle at the young lord as he watched walk off. To his surprise though Alton stopped and looked back waving at the captain bowing his head to say thank you to him too. The captain was stood there shocked as he saw Alton do that.

"I like him." A soldier said.

"Yeah, so do I."
