Chapter 547: 13.45

After that kidnapping incident, Wolf became the new knight of the Eau Saumont Archduchy. He was already a very skilled hunter and assassin at such young age, so it wasn't difficult to train Wolf to be a knight. He stayed close to his Young Master Jean, even refusing to leave his Young Master's side. Sometimes he even stood in front of Young Master Jean's door for the whole night to guard him.

Meanwhile, the news about Young Master Jean's kidnapping spread like wildfire in the Eau Saumont City. People finally knew the existence of Jean Eau Saumont, the adopted younger brother of Archduke Maximillien. 

And the said Young Master was now sitting inside his room, pouted as he got bored by his daily activity for a while. 

Why? Because his Big brother didn't allow him to do anything outside of Eau Saumont Palace! 

"Wu… what is this? Big brother doesn't even allow Jean to go to the lake outside of the Palace!" Little Jean complained. "Jean is so boooreeeddd!"

"Young Master… Tea…" Wolf poured the tea for his Young Master. His expression was as solemn as ever, and he didn't even budge when Young Master Jean pushed the tea away from him. 

"Jean doesn't like tea! Jean likes milk!" Little Jean protested.

"… Young Master… cookies?" Wolf picked up the cookies for Jean, and Jean shook his head frustratedly. 

"Wolf doesn't have a training to do? Uncle knight will scold Wolf if you stay here." Little Jean pouted. "Jean doesn't want you to get scolded, like what Big brother does to Jean…."

"Wolf's training…. I have to…. um… defeat him…." Wolf explained. "Wolf defeat… Uncle knight… in five minutes…."

[Okay, seriously, this kid is so strong. He could defeat that grown-ass veteran knight in five minutes?!]

[Pupa: I've checked it, the Uncle Knight is currently being treated by the Palace doctor because Wolf almost killed him.]

Little Jean sighed, "Jean is so bored… Jean wants to play!" 

Wolf instinctively went to Little Jean's toy box and then picked up some toys that Little Jean liked. He walked back and put the toys beside Little Jean. 

"Young Master… play…." Wolf said. 

"This is not it! Jean wants to play outside! Jean wants to visit the city again!" Jean protested. 

[For real, though, what is that Big brother of mine locking me up in this Palace? I want to go out and go to the capital. I might be able to see Matthew and find the hidden male lead as well!]

[Pupa: It's because he got traumatized with you getting kidnapped. So he doesn't want your little body to die out of random stuff outside.]

[Ugh, I will die out of boredom here!]

Little Jean jumped out of the sofa and then walked out. Wolf followed from behind, and they went to Maximillien's office. 

Little Jean told Wolf to stay outside, and he entered the office.

He saw his Big brother reading and signing documents as always. Maximillien glanced at Little Jean, who was staring at him with his doe eyes. 

"What?"

Little Jean dashed and hugged his Big brother's leg like a koala. He looked up and showed his glimmering eyes charm, "Big brother… Jean wants to go out…."

"No," Maximillien replied curtly. 

"Wu… Big brother, don't you love Jean? Please let Jean play in the city, okay? Jean will love Big brother more…."

Maximillien sighed. He continued reading while trying to ignore the Koala hanging on his leg. He had to toughen his heart because he knew this was just a Little Jean's trick.

But he didn't want to let Little Jean roam around without his supervision. That kidnapping incident caused Maximillien to be extra guarded. 

It's better to keep an eye on Little Jean and ignore his pleas rather than let him roam free and get kidnapped or harmed in some other way. 

"This is the third time you're doing the same trick. Aren't you tired of doing it over and over?" Maximillien said coldly. 

"Hmph! Big brother is a meanie!" Little Jean released his hug on Maximillien's hand. 

Maximillien stiffened. He really couldn't stand being called 'meanie' by Little Jean. He sighed and put down his document, "Fine, we will go to Capital city."

The pouting Little Jean brightened once more, "Yayyy! Big brother is the best! Jean wants to play with Matthew. Jean also wants to visit that bakery! Jean wants many things!"

"Not now, I still have a lot to do. I have a meeting with a merchant in the capital. We will leave in three months—"

…

"Humph! Big brother is a meanie!"

Little Jean looked away and stomped his foot as he walked out of the room. Maximillien sighed. Little Jean got even more troublesome as he grew up, he had expected it, but he just didn't know how to handle this.

"He will understand once he grew up…" Maximillien assured himself. 

Little Jean stomped the ground as he walked away, complaining that his big brother was a total meanie to Wolf, who silently followed him from behind. 

"Hmph! Big brother is boring, meanie, and annoying!" Little Jean slandered his Big brother endlessly. His voice filled the corridor, making the servants wondered if Young Master Jean was fighting again with Archduke Maximillien. 

"Wolf, don't you think that my brother is a total meanie?" 

"Wolf… follows Young Master… Duke… is meanie…." Wolf said. He was unsure to say yes, but in the end, the one he followed was Young Master Jean, not Archduke Maximillien. So if his Master said A, then he also said A. 

…

For some reason, it made Little Jean even more displeased. He walked to the maze garden and then paced through the familiar garden. 

[Pupa, is there any way for me to get out of the Palace? I really can't stand sitting idly in this Palace forever!]

[Pupa: No, you're just five years old.]

[Hmph, I'm a grandpa at heart. I've lived for so many years in the previous worlds!]

[Anyway, I remember that Raphael can teleport by using light as a travel method, right? If I can copy all his power, does that mean I can also copy that teleporting skill of his?]

[Pupa: You can try it. But teleporting is dangerous, and this is your first time as well.]

[Aish, trust me, you know how talented I am!]

Little Jean walked through the maze, and he took a different route than before, Wolf was following from behind, but he felt something was a bit strange.

His step started to get heavy, and when he looked down, he saw the vines started wrapping around his leg, trapping him to stand still. 

Wolf's eyes widened, he used his fire to burn the vines, but when he looked straight, Young Master Jean was nowhere to be seen. 

"Young Master?! Young Master!" Wolf searched Little Jean frantically. 

Meanwhile, Little Jean intentionally used some magic to separate himself from Wolf. So he could try teleport magic in peace. 

He was afraid that Wolf might tell his Big brother about this.

"Okay, let's try this… hippity, hoppity, your place is now my property!"

Little Jean's body was surrounded with light, and then his body shrunk into a ball of light before vanishing into thin air.
