Oliver was waiting under the tree while reading like he always does, it's been 3 weeks since the first time he came here. He has already known the situation here, he also found out he was still 12 years old right now. Which means, the game takes place 6 years later, when he was 18 years old. Which also means, he could get ready for the things that will happen in 6 years from now.

"Oliver!!!"

Someone screamed from a distance, Oliver who knows who that was, he turned his head to the scream. And there he was, Nathaniel who was calling for him, Oliver smiled a little when seeing him.

"Hello, to you too, Nathaniel…"

Nathaniel sat beside him. And started to talk about the books that they had read for 3 days, talking about the things that they like about the book. It turns out Oliver and Nathaniel had started their own book club to talk about the books that they read.

By the distance, Albert was walking towards his Young Master and his new friend, bringing a tray with tea and baked goods. For these 3 weeks, the Young Master had change drastically from cold and rude to cold but kind. Albert wonders what exactly happened to the Young Master these days, maybe something had happened that made the Young Master act like this. He's going to consult this with the Duke later.

Albert went outside to check on the Young Master with his new friend, since it was time his afternoon tea with his noble 'friends', but to his surprise, the Young Master and his friend had fallen asleep under the tree while still holding they're books in hand. Albert smiled, now isn't this a rare occasion? Who could've known that the Young Master could be sleeping outside, not to mention with his newly friend that he just had 3 weeks ago? How interesting the Young Master and his act more like brothers these 3 weeks than the Young Master with his own older brother? Nathaniel is a year younger than the Young Master, which makes the Young Master the older brother.

Albert went inside to get a blanket from his daughter, his daughter, Victoria Chamberlain was the head maid in the Star Duchy, and she was in her mid 30's. For Albert, Victoria looks and acts like her Mother, she is a strict and independent woman, but she's still his daughter, she'll always checks on Albert from time to time. After Albert got the blanket, he went back outside, then gently covering them with the blanket as he sat by and watched them.

He remembered that was supposed to leave his Young Master and serve his brother, but, Albert is going to stay with his Young Master as he had promised all those years ago, when that unfortunate 'accident'. He had promised to stay by his side for the rest of his life, how could he even think on leaving his Young Master? He's going to stay with him, whether if he will actually change or stay the same, he will always be his Young Master.

"Rest well, this butler is sorry for even thinking on leaving you, Young Master. I'll be here when you wake up."...
