"WUAAAAAA!!!! WOLF, SAVE MEEE!"
Wolf's eyes lit up. He grabbed his dagger and dashed as fast as he could.
So fast that even the guard didn't realize a man had stabbed his arm and snatched Little Jean away from him. It was a little too late for the guard to realize that his hand had been wounded and the Young Master had been snatched away.
"Aaaaahhh!!" The guard wailed in pain. He clenched his arm and darted at the guy who snatched Young Master Jean away.Â
It was a young boy, probably around eight years old. He had crimson hair. His expression was deep and dark like a hunter's. He was wearing a tattered tunic while carrying Little Jean on his arm.Â
That boy had such a scary gaze that the guard didn't even consider him as a kid. He looked even more threatening than many adults.Â
"Young Master!" The guard yelled. The guard unsheathed his sword, ready to fight to the death to get his young master back.Â
He felt indebted to Young Master Jean because he knew how bad his treatment was to the Young Master before. He could've gotten fired if Young Master felt just a little bit petty.
But Young Master Jean never hold any grudge, and he got to keep his position as a palace guard.
"Release Young Master Jean. He is the little brother of His Highness Archduke Maximillien Eau Saumont! You will be punished by death for taking him!"Â
Wolf gritted his teeth. He wrapped Little Jean deeper in his arms, refused to let go. Little Jean had no worry that Wolf could kill or at least seriously injure the guard, and he didn't want that.
Thus he pulled Wolf's collar and whispered, 'Leave now, Wolf. Jean doesn't want to hurt people'¦."
Wolf nodded obediently, his eyes still darted at the guard. He took a step back and dashed through the woods.
"Hey!" The guard tried to catch up with Wolf, but he lost them when Wolf jumped agilely to a tree, then jumped from one branch to another.Â
"Damn it!" The guard cursed. But at least he knew that Young Master Jean was still alive. He rushed back to his group to report what he found to Archduke Maximillien.Â
Wolf brought Little Jean deep into the woods to hide from the guard. He could've killed that man, but Little Jean hold him. For the first time in life, Wolf had the urge to kill someone.
And it was to protect Young Master Jean.Â
They were about to go to the camp, but Little Jean pulled Wolf's collar and shook his head, "Jean is scared'¦ Jean doesn't want to go there'¦."
'¦
Thus, Wolf obeyed Young Master Jean's request, and they went to another place instead. Wolf was a resourceful boy. He had plenty of hiding or lurking spots in case he wanted to hunt for a specific animal.Â
Right now, Wolf brought the Young Master to a waterfall and hide inside a small cave behind the waterfall.Â
He put the Young Master down and then used his magic to lit up the torch that he already set at the cave.
Wolf sat beside Little Jean, waiting for his next order silently.
[Wow, this guy is so obedient and silent'¦ I LIKE THIS ONE THE MOST!]
[Pupa: I thought you liked the loud one like Altair and Javier.]
[Well, I like them, but I like this one as well!]
[Pupa: You just like everyone who is Han Ye's soul, don't you?]
[Ehe~]
Little Jean looked at Wolf and then asked, "Wolf, did you ever hurt someone?"
Wolf shook his head. He never intentionally attacked or hurt someone other than self-defense. Even that was the first time for him to injure a man, and that's because Young Master wanted his help.
Wolf thought about it and realized that he would do anything as long as Young Master Jean was safe.
"Wolf'¦ for Young Master'¦"Â
"Wolf'¦ will hurt'¦."
Little Jean understood what Wolf was saying. But he still didn't understand why Wolf would do that. They barely knew each other.
Little Jean's big brother, Maximillien, was very cruel to him at first. It took a while for Big brother to warm up.
But Wolf was just so obedient and trusting.
"Un'¦ Wolf will hurt people for Jean? Why?" Little Jean asked.
"Wolf'¦" Wolf gulped after he got confronted with that question. He would rather not answer it because he also didn't know the reason.Â
Maybe because Young Master Jean was adorable and looked fragile, that's why Wolf wanted to take care of him. At least protect him from any harm.Â
"Young Master'¦ beautiful'¦ Wolf will protect'¦." Wolf said.
'¦
[OH MY GOD! HE IS SO CUTE, AHHHHH!]
"Uwa'¦ Wolf will protect Jean because Jean is cute?" Little Jean asked.
And Wolf nodded involuntarily. He felt there was more to it than just cuteness. It was almost like an instinct for Wolf to protect Little Jean the moment Little Jean woke up from his faint before.
"Ehe, Big brother, and Raphael also said that Jean is cute!" Little Jean said. "I can show you more magic tricks!"
Little Jean closed his eyes, and then the butterfly hairpin on his head shone briefly. The butterfly hairpin then turned into a real golden butterfly who flew around Little Jean.Â
Slowly, flowers budded around Little Jean and blossomed. There were also plenty of flowers that gradually bloomed on Little Jean's hair, acting as a decoration.Â
The air around the cave suddenly became fresh, like a spring garden, and Little Jean giggled as he played with the golden butterfly.Â
Wolf watched everything and was fascinated by how Little Jean did his magic.
Wolf loved beautiful things like flowers, but he was always inside the woods, caves, or other dark places to follow his big brother, so he had no choice but to keep imagining how a spring garden looked.
And when he saw Little Jean did his magic trick, Wolf couldn't help but mutter.Â
'Heaven'¦ Wolf's heaven'¦.'
'Young Master... is Wolf's heaven...'
