Volume 1 Chapter 2: Thank You, Young Master

Something is definitely wrong with the young master. May’s beliefs became certain. Keith’s actions these last couple of days were odd. He kept shaking his head in front of her. Inside the crib, he was moving around! It wasn’t a normal movement.

The only way to describe him was a mini tornado! He rolled around so much that May had to wrap him up with the blanket. Although, that was not what made May confused.

Why does he keep looking at me like that?

Keith kept staring at her. Her heart felt weird as she stared back. While thinking about what Keith wanted, May cleaned the room. As she thought about Keith,

Crack!

May looked down to see a broken vase!

Oh no!

What should I do next? Keith looked peeved as he lay in his crib, planning his next move. But there was nothing he could do.

He tried to act cute in front of May, trying to make her smile. But what he got was the blanket burrito. He was stuck there, not being able to do anything.

I can’t give up! Keith wasn’t going to let this happen. If he did, he would be stuck here all bored! He tried to get out of the blanket burrito. As he tried to wiggle out,

“What are you doing? How could you break such an expensive vase?!”

Eh? Keith tilted his head to see Gloria scolding May. On the floor was a broken vase. It seemed May knocked it down while she was on cleaning duty.

“Do you understand that vase is something the previous head bought?” Gloria was livid. May stared down at the ground.

It was only a mistake. Keith thought. But he realized.

Idea!

“Wahhh! Wahh!” Gloria and May turned their heads to the crib.

Gloria sighed, “The young master is crying. See to him. We’ll discuss your punishment later.”

“Understood.” Gloria left the room in a huff. May walked towards Keith’s crib, ready to soothe him. When she was prepared to hold him, May blinked a few times.

Eh? What she saw was a smiling Keith. His crying was nowhere to be seen.

“Ee! Ee!” Keith laughed as he stared at her.

“...Were you faking it?”

Keith’s mother, Sophia, would come a couple of times to his room to feed him. Usually, the maids bottle-fed him.

Sophia calmly fed Keith. It was a few minutes before she burped Keith. That was it. Sophia got up, ready to leave. The child’s expression turned blank before the unthinkable happened.

He started to cry!

Sophia stopped moving. Turning to May, “May, stop him from crying.” This order was the usual. It was more so since May had gotten closer to Keith.

May nodded and picked Keith up, trying to soothe him. But that caused Keith to cry even louder!

May was stunned, but then she realized why he was crying, “Madam, I think the young master wishes to be with you.” The way he stared at Sophia made it apparent.

“Huh?” That caused Sophia to freeze. She turned and stared at her son, who was still crying. It was only a few seconds before Sophia walked up. She took him out of May’s hand.

When she did, Keith’s crying expression became happy as he stared at Sophia.

That caused Sophia to be silent. Well, she was quiet before. She continued to hold onto Keith. For Keith, he only wanted to be with her more.

His mother disappeared too soon in his previous life. That was why he wanted to spend time with them as much as possible.

“Madam, please sit here.” May push a chair for Sophia to sit down. She did just that. It was a strange sight to behold. The maids didn’t bother them as they watched from the sideline.

Mother! Look what I can do! Keith started to move his hands, trying to get Sophia’s attention. It was adorable. However, Sophia continued to have an odd look.

It was a few minutes before a maid entered the room, “Madam, you have an appointment.”

“Yes.” Sophia got up from the chair and handed Keith back to May. When she did that, Keith frowned. He wanted to spend more time with her. Although, he understood. His mother was still the wife of the Marquis. She had responsibilities.

“Aggha Agha!” Sophia stared at her son, wondering what he was doing with his hand. As the translator, May explained,

“The young master wishes you a good day.”

“You can understand him?”

May shook her head, “Only a bit. The young master’s use of gestures makes it easy to understand.”

“Aga!” Keith’s smile was brighter! Well said, May! She was the only one who understood what he was saying right now. Well, she understood a fair amount compared to others.

There were times when she misinterpreted what he wanted to convey.

“I see.” Sophia didn’t question as she left the room. Keith raised up his arms and tried to pat May’s head. But what he patted instead was her face.

“Are you trying to thank me, Young Master?”

“Aba! Aba!” Keith nodded slowly. That caused May to shake her head,

“No need to thank me, Young Master. Please take a nap.” May placed Keith down on the bed. It was already past his nap time.
