There goes Elliot finally enjoying the bliss of having two dazzling people pamper him with care. He just came back from Victor's gigantic palace, at first Fey was close to dashing out and killing the people who caused his lord to look ghostly pale and just overall, not his self. But he didn't want to leave Elliot with that green frog and snug away all his attention.

"Master, what did they do to you?" Llohel asks while holding the white haired boy's right hand, carefully squeezing it.

"Don't worry about it...how is the shop doing? I'm sorry I left you guys for so long." Elliot felt like he was overworking and neglecting his workers a bit, he felt disappointed in himself. He's the boss, he should be taking care of things but instead—for the whole five days—he was cooped up inside a fancy room being treated like one of those spoiled rotten kids.

Llohel and Fey immediately took notice of Elliot's mood slowly turning pessimistic.

"M'lord! It's nothing to worry about. The businesses is booming and everyone loves their job, no one has even uttered a single flaw about the environment if that is what you're worried about, " Fey's words surprise Elliot as he sounded mature, "we are all grateful to you, the pay is also good and it's not like we only have one cook who could move inside the kitchen." He proceeded improving Elliot's current dissatisfaction with his performance.

The frosted haired individual can only smile and be thankful he has people like Fey and Llohel.

"Elliot."

Elliot who was settled on his comfy bed uttered.

"Master?"

"Call me Elliot..." He said giving them both the most sincere smile he had ever given to anyone after falling in these reincarnation shenanigans.

"But—/HECK YEAH!" Llohel seemed to interject but Fey's booming voice drowned out his concerns. Llohel still wanted to call him 'Master' since he is his owner but seeing Elliot's pleasant smile just made him stop on his track and turn his head away in embarrassment.

The silvered eye boy quickly took notice of this and worriedly ask, "Llohel are you feeling fine?"

"U-uhm...i'll just prepare you some food, Mas—Elliot." The youth could barely see the rubicund tinted ears of the green haired demon spreading from that place to his cheeks. But Fey, of course, took notice of it.

Elliot doesn't know exactly what but he feels like—things are changing, he just hopes it wouldn't go sideways.

"God damn it Elliot don't jinx it." The said boy silently whispered to himself.

-

"This can't be! We finally found his whereabouts but he's surrounded by tight security. Ridiculous!"

"That damn Marquis caged him in his property far too long that I thought he would never leave."

"Do you think they found out about it?"

Count Sebastian can only shout back in displeasure, "DONT UTTER SUCH THING!"

"We will get him back. This opportunity is one in a lifetime and we cannot afford one single disadvantage in this plan."

"Dear, the orphan you took back failed." Angel even with how angelic her outer appearance and name is, cannot match her personality.

"Figures, we can only use him."

One of the person said that is concealed in a thick black cloak, no other design present to ensure secrecy and for people not to recognize and track them.

In Count Sebastian's office there, he is seated on his desk in the middle of some unidentified individuals easily blending with the shadows, along with his wife located on one of the couches holding an ominous glint inside her eyes.

"Let's start with the other plan." Her voice rang out, sugary sweet honey dripping each word. Not the good kind tho, one taste and you'll be surprised, instead of tasting dessert you were greeted with the horrible truth that it is poison in disguise.

-

"What are you doing here."

"I just wanted to see how's it going, kid."

Llohel who was in charge of the front desk held a harsh gaze at the newcomer who was acting close with his Elliot on one of the sits far away from him while Fey, he was not hiding his displeasure with that person and accidentally broke the iron made handle part of the mop.

Elliot pushed down his growing annoyance with Aldonis who was currently smiling brightly at him making the said boy cover his eyes because of the shine, he even caught a lot more attention from the outside—the shop has a glass wall at the very front, which Elliot designed like one of those in the modern world with a touch of vintage and also nature, he added some flower plants—a lot came dashing in the shop to buy and take a look at the handsome man beside Elliot.

Who wouldn't? They have the chance to take a look at one of the world's greatest healer.

"Business really is booming, huh?"

"You still haven't answered my question, sir." Elliot said not hiding his irritation.

"Is that how you treat a customer? How sad, I thought you were better than that, Elliot." The way Elliot's name rolled out of Aldonis's tongue made the latter's body weirdly shudder.

-

'What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what fuck, what fuck the, fuck what the—calm down Elliot, you're better than this! Don't fall for his temptation!' I aggressively said in my head mentally punching myself.

"You said my name."

"Oh? Did that turn you on? Did saying your name made your body tingle in anticipation? Elliot. Elliot. El~liot, how cute. Is your cherry still left untouched? Want me to pop it~?" Aldonis words made me grow flustered and bewildered.

"Shut up, I'm not a virgin. Fuck you." I stood up and left his side, it seemed he didn't follow me. Once I reached the back room I breathed a sigh of relief. Wtf was wrong with that dude?

"I am a virgin but i'm far more an expert than him, I lived in a world with free online books with really detailed sex scenes for fucks sake." I keep mumbling while walking away to help the other bakers.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't realize the shady individuals who manage to enter inside his shop. But of course, Aldonis has detected them, that was one of the reasons why he was there in the first place—one of the knights guarding Elliot notified them of strange people tactfully giving side glances at the boy—It's been so long since he had something fun happen.
