A/N: Happy Halloween. Kind of an anticlimactic end but eh.


Vishnal made his way back to Selphia, ready to confront the fox with all of the anger and indignation he had built up. Unfortunately, he couldn't hold onto that anger for long, and by the time he made it back to Selphia he was completely cooled off. It wasn't in his nature to stay angry for long. He still planned to give him an earful, but he didn't know how well that would go.

Once he made it back, he found Leon casually chatting with Kiel. The butler approached with the most indignant expression he could muster and strode right up to him. "Leon!"

The two looked up, Leon's expression didn't change. "Oh, you're back already? And what happened to your uniform?"

"That's not important! I just wanted to say that my service to you ends now!"

Leon raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What brought this on now?" It wasn't like he was upset, on the contrary he was pleased that things were going his way once more.

Vishnal swallowed and tried to collect his thoughts. "I ran into Frey in the forest, and she told me all about your game."

Leon looked disappointed, but not too broken up. "Well, I guess it was bound to happen eventually. As your master, I hereby end your service."

"You were never my master to begin with!" Vishnal said indignantly, then huffed and walked off.

Leon looked at Kiel, who seemed deeply impressed. "Well, that worked out well." The smaller said, his voice full of intrigue.

"Yeah, I guess I can't argue with results." Leon said nonchalantly with a shrug.

-At the Castle-

Vishnal came bolting up to the butler's room, ready to beg and grovel for forgiveness from Volkanon for shirking work. As he entered the room, the senior butler regarded him as usual. "Good afternoon Vishnal, how's your service to Leon going?" His tone was completely calm.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't know your game was just- a game…"

"It's alright, I just expect you to complete all of the work you missed by sundown today."

"Yes sir! Right away sir!"

-The next day-

Leon waited by the gates, he had heard from Kiel that Forte would be coming by soon, and waited eagerly to start his torment. Though, she seemed to be running late, and the fox was growing somewhat impatient.

"Looking for someone?" A stern and not at all impressed voice said.

The fox's ears twitched and he looked behind him to see Forte. He raised an eyebrow, but his expression remained neutral. "Good morning." He said casually.

"Don't give me that, I know all about what you're planning." She wasn't pleased, she was as annoyed as she always was.

"Oh really?"

"Yes, I'm on to you and I'm not falling for any of your pranks. Stop acting so childish." With that she left.

Leon was left feeling perplexed, but out of the corner of his eye, he could Vishnal in the distance, whispering around, no doubt telling the villagers all about his secrets. The fox grinned then. This was going to be an interesting few days.
