Chapter 554 - 13.52
[Twelve years later]
"Young Master.... Wake up...."
Jean could hear the sound of someone calling him while he was asleep. He ignored it because he was still sleepy. He didn’t have any intention to wake up early anyway because it was the weekend.
"Young Master... Birthday..." that deep but gentle voice told him.
Jean opened his eyes immediately, looked around his room, and saw Wolf standing at the side of the bed. He was wearing his silver knight armor, complete with that badge he never took off on his chest.
’Jean Favorite’s Badge.’
Wolf was very tall, probably almost 190 centimeters, and he had short crimson hair. He looked scary for most people, a giant with a fierce gaze and extraordinary strength and skill as a knight. But for the likes of Jean, he only saw a big, shy guy serving him every day.
Wolf’s cheeks reddened a bit after his Young Master stared at him for too long.
"Y—Young Master... please don’t stare.... too much...." Wolf said as he bowed his head. "Wolf... embarrassed...."
’Ah yeah, he still has that speech development problem. I think that’s permanent,’ Jean thought. Though it didn’t dismiss the quality for Jean nonetheless.
Jean rubbed his eyes and stretched his body. He was so tired yesterday since Big brother Maximillien always gave him a lot of homework. He had been tutored by the best tutors the Empire could offer since six years ago when he was just 11 years old.
