Go figure. Another fucking boring day, The young boy watched as the carriage went down the path away from the mansion from his window, another fucking whore of a suitor. He rolled over and went back to his puzzle. He was laid belly down on the floor, legs kicking in the air as he put one puzzle piece at a time together.

"Eighteen and still without a wife! I swear, that boy is going to ruin everything his parents have done! He's their only son. The only one who can inherit their wealth! And was does he do? Turn down every suitor! He's not going to have any chance of having an heir at this point!" He could hear the servants very clearly from inside his room; he was right by his door, after all. "And with this family having so many enemies, he really needs to step up. His Father's getting old! That last assassin nearly got him!" But still he slowly and carefully put together his puzzle, focusing more on it than the servant's talk. He looked up when a small plate with food on it was laid beside him. He looked up at the servant who had brought it. A short little thing with bright red hair smiled at him. Well, pretty much everyone but his father was short to him.

"I thought you would like something to snack on, Master." She giggled.

He stared at her, "Are you new? I haven't seen you around here before."

"Yes, I am." She nodded. He chuckled and reached over to get one of the tiny cookies she had brought and stuck it in his mouth, chewing slowly as he went back to the puzzle. The servant stood there still. After a while he looked up at her again.

"Do you want something?" He raised an eyebrow. She shook her head. "Then go away. I'm busy." She nodded and turned to leave. His world suddenly started to spin and he had to hold his head in his hands. His focus blurred and he whimpered in pain as a massive headache exploded inside his skull. A sudden memory hit him. His parents would never hire a new servant without telling him. He looked up at the girl, who sneered at him, "Good night, Master." He groaned and shut his eyes as his body succumbed to the poison.
