Chapter 1: Prologue

The morning in the Takarada mansion is as peaceful as ever, with only the large, living room occupied by a single man in his white bathrobe.

Takarada Lory is currently sitting before his ridiculously large wall mounted television, tapping an impatient finger against the surface of the coffee table just in front of him.

Should I hold his hand? Or should I just kiss him? Hm… but wouldn't that be too straightforward? Hm… Here goes nothing…

"Master, your guest has arrived." Sebastian, all wrapped up in his usual Arabian getup, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and bowed.

Lory agonized over the 'Game over' thrown at his face in big, bold letters as he flung the game controller on the ground.

"It's very funny to see the messenger of love losing in a Dating Sims, Lory-sama." An amused voice called out from the doorway.

The dark haired gentleman looked back with his 'you-kicked-my-favorite-puppy' face, tears brimming in his black eyes.

Sebastian brought a box of tissue to his employer, in which the dark haired man spent them like waterfall.

After recovering, albeit with countless balled-up napkins lying around the couch, Lory gestured for the young guest to sit down opposite of him.

The guest, a young kid with neck-length ochre hair that was in a shaggy wolf cut and almond shaped blue topaz eyes, stepped on the used tissues without batting an eye and settled down on the couch across the elder.

"I suppose you know why you're here, Shion?" Lory asked while lighting up his cigar, definitely from an expensive brand.

The young boy smiled; scratching one of his fluffy, wolf ears protruding from his head, "Not really. Explain to me so that I know?"

Sighing, Lory took a drag from the brown tobacco, exhaling out the smoke, before letting a sly smirk pull his lips up.

Leaning forward, he pointed a finger at the boy, "I want you to play 'Cupid' with me."

Blinking, Shion stared dumbly at the still-posing gentleman for a few seconds before fishing out his cellphone and started typing furiously.

Frowning, Lory snatched the device out of the kid's hand and snapped, "It means to bring two people together as a couple, you idiot!"

Scratching his ear again, Shion huffed, "Why do I have to do this?"

"I heard you're still searching for him?"

Blue topaz narrowed into dangerous slits, "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not, who do you think I am?" Lory pouted, crossing his arms childishly, "Well, even if you don't help me in this, I would still tell you where he is."

Shion sighed, shaking his head, "I may be a 'Servant beast', but I'm not heartless."

Dark eyes sparkled as the love messenger bounced up from his seat with a cheer, "If this ever succeed, I'll drag him to you even if I have to beat him senseless!"

Shrugging, Shion turned to Sebastian, who handed a cup of tea to the child.


I will explain about 'Servant beast' in the later chapters, so please bear with me for a while.

Please R&R!
