As soon the sun raised up, the maid came into the room where Timothy and Louis were sleeping. She forcefully pulled him out of the bed with that, Timothy hitting his head against the floor. She didn't cared for his health or injuries. She also knew that Louis was hard to wake up. As soon as Timothy his the floor, he immediately woke up, holding his head. "Ouch..." Timothy spoke with a whine as the maid forcefully pulled him up, off the ground. She looked down at him as he bit his bottom lip and rubbed his head. After he got his boots on, she grabbed his hair and pulled him by it. "Start to walk." She said with a smirk as he nodded and started walking, following the maid outside.
As soon as they were out, he saw a carriage with two white horses and a man on the carriage. Carriage was the pure brown, with almost no existing details on it. It was fully made out of the wood, looking like a cheap one. The leashes were tied to the horses and the ends were held by the man. He wore the black clothes, black long boots and had a brown messy hair and his bangs were covering his eyes. The maid forcefully pushed him toward the carriage as he didn't moved at all. He felt sad that he had to left without even saying bye to Louis.
The maid, for his surprise was really strong and easily lifted him off the ground. She carried Timothy toward the carriage and opened a door, tossing him inside on it. She whispered to the man what he is supposed to do with him nodding on her words. She smirked and backed away from the carriage as she waved at Timothy.
The maid was unusually weirder than yesterday, to Timothy. He found her behavior very suspicious. He brushed that feeling off as the carriage started moving. On the way, the carriage would often shake and rock from a unstable road in front of them. The road was filled with a hole and a rock in front of them. A dust would raise from the wheels and stomping of the horses while Timothy would sigh and thinking about the boy he met. The carriage, for his expectations was very uncomfortable with a seat he was sitting. The seat was supposed to be full of the soft material but it was just a wood, covered with a stuff that was supposed to be a cover of it.
Timothy, for some reason felt unsafe about this all while he shivered for some bad reason. A creep ran down his spine. After few minutes of him shivering, the man separated the horses and the carriage, letting the carriage going down a cliff. He didn't noticed it until the very last moment but it was too late for him to get out. The carriage was sending flying down the cliff as it started to break from hitting the various rocks and trees on the way. Timothy started shaking so badly, trying to open the carriage only to fail. All he could do is to hold onto something, to support him so he couldn't suffer a lot of injuries, but it was not enough. Last impact was the one where the carriage hit the rock and sending it flying really high, turning it upside down. The carriage hit the ground, but on its roof. Timothy feel down, onto it as his head started bleeding really badly. He would cough up a lot of the blood and he was unable to move, as the part of the carriage fell down onto him. He was unconsciously laying down, without any hope of surviving.
Louis' POV
At the exact same moment, as the carriage hit the ground, Louis woke up, trembling and crying slightly. He had a bad nightmare where Timothy died. It seemed so realistic. He looked to his side, where Timothy was supposed to be but he was not there to be found. It just scared Louis even more. He jumped out of his bed and started running and screaming Timothy's name. The maid heard the young boy and came pretty fast to him. "Young master. What's matter?" The maid asked as Louis looked up at her with a teared eyes. "WHERE IS HE?!" Louis screamed the words out, sending more tears down his cheeks as he remembered the boy. "Young master. King said that he would need to leave toda--" Before she could even finish, Louis cut her words with his. "WHY YOU DIDN'T CALLED ME?! WHY YOU DIDN'T WOKE ME UP?! Even to say goodbye to him..." Louis fell down, onto the ground, crying and looking in the pain as the maid smirked on his reaction.
The maid crouched down and hugged the boy, comforting him. As soon he got in her touch, he wrapped arms around her body and cried out loudly. As soon as he calmed down, he slowly spoke to her. "I had a nightmare... I-I just wanted to see him leaving safe..." Louis looked up at the maid, pretty sadly as she had that fake innocent smile on her face.
She comforted him by stroking his hair and convincing him that he was safe. "He is safe young master~ We picked our best carriage and the best horses for him~" She calmly said, faking her smile as Louis finally calmed down, knowing that he was safe. "Thanks..." He said with a small smile as he stepped away from her.Louis got up soon after and walked toward a dinning room as usual, without any suspicious left within him.
The Maid's POV
She had the order from the day before that she was supposed to wipe the boy out from existing. She knew what the king wanted while she had that sly smirk on her face. She was preparing all necessary stuffs for tomorrow. She called the mad which she known for long time. He was working under her. She was a head maid of the castle so every worker there needed to listen to her words. It was around the midnight when the meeting was held between her and the vassal. As soon she meet up with him, she explained what he was supposed to do with the boy. "You need to separate a carriage and a horses so the carriage would be send flying down the cliff," She said adding. "You must kill the boy," Speaking those words out, the vassal's eyes went widen as she asked for absurd order. "Those were the king's orders. Don't disappoint him or me or you're be facing a punishment," He nodded, looking down, even though he didn't wanted to do it but he doesn't want to face the punishment either.
She smiled slyly and handled him a bag of the coins as he took it and put it inside a pocket of his pants. She waved to him and leaved toward her room. She stopped a half way from the man who was standing there, looking at his feet. "Oh yes. As soon as you return, come into the dinning hall and tell Louis sad news~" With that, she left, leaving man looking pained from the request. As soon as she was inside of it, she changed her clothes into her pajamas and laid down. The smell of the room was full of the burnt candles that was supposed to give the scent of the flowers. Her room was nothing too better, comparing to the other workers here. It had a small cabin, next to her bed which was really uncomfortable. A wardrobe could be seen in the corner, next to a small window, which had a curtains onto them. The candle was on the cabin there, along with the bottle of water and a pot, filled with a various flowers. She soon fell asleep, excited about tomorrow.
As soon as the tray of the sun got in her eyes, she knew immediately what to do. She got up and really fast changed her clothes into her uniform. She combed her hair and properly placed her dress onto her body. She left the room, running toward Louis' bedroom. She saw the boy on the bed and kicked him out forcefully, not caring about him. She let the chuckle out, seeing the boy in the pain and not caring about him. She grabbed his hair and pulled him with her.
She left with him, with a sly smirk while she was going through the plan once again before meeting up with the man. She saw Timothy stopping moving as she growled and lifted him, off the ground. She opened the door forcefully, tossing the boy inside and closing the door, secretly locking them and making sure her plan would work out perfectly.
Moving toward the vassal, she came closer to his ear and whispered. "You know exactly what you're supposed to do, don't you?" The man only nodded to her as she had the smirk and backed away. He whipped the horses, making them start to run as she waved to the boy, out of the pity she won't ever see him again.
She walked back inside, walking around the halls until she didn't heard Louis. She immediately knew whose name he was yelling. She smirked and ran toward him as he had a pained look on his face. She simply didn't cared while she smirked whole time, moving closer to the boy. She spoke those words, faking as much as she could. "Young master. What's matter?" The maid asked as Louis who stared at her. "WHERE IS HE?!" She heard a loud screaming from his mouth as she growled under her breath, hating to comfort people, especially Louis. "Young master. King said that he would need to leave toda--" She had a death glare now, as her words were cut out by Louis who kept yelling and annoying her. "WHY YOU DIDN'T CALLED ME?! WHY YOU DIDN'T WOKE ME UP?! Even to say goodbye to him..." As soon as he fell onto the ground, she smirked and looked at him with amusement on her face, liking his reaction so much.
The maid crouched down and hugged the boy, comforting him. She did it out, knowing it would calm him down and stop him from crying and yelling. She greatly liked seeing him pained and teared. "I had a nightmare... I-I just wanted to see him leaving safe..."As he spoke the words out, she immediately smirked, knowing what kind of the nightmare he had.
She comforted him by stroking his hair and convincing him that he was safe. She hated that the boy hugged her but she needed to endure it as well. She was lying whole time so she didn't needed to deal with him anymore since he was pain in the butt. "He is safe young master~ We picked our best carriage and the best horses for him~" She calmly said, faking her smile as she was looking with a sly smile on her face. She didn't wanted to say anything anymore to the boy, since she would ruin the plan.
As Louis got up and walked toward the dinning room for the breakfast, she smirked, knowing that when the time was, the vassal will come running and telling the bad news for Louis. She was left all alone, for a few minute laughing evilly before walking toward the dinning room and entering inside of it soon after Louis and his whole family.
