Find Me in 1000 Years

Grand Master

That morning at breakfast, Lucille did not see Ken among the waiters who served the dinner table, but the man was always there and never absent. He called out to Danzo who passed in front of him. "Danzo's."

"Yes, Miss." The man bowed a little.

"Ken, where? Why is he invisible? Is he sick?"

"Oh, no, Miss. Didn't Miss ask him to be the coachman yesterday? He told this to the Chief Mother, and the Chief Mother sent him to Mr. Donovan's stables. There due to free study, instead, he had to help take care of the horses in the stables this morning."

"But I didn't tell him to study as a coachman, because I thought he could."

"Now he's learning to please Miss."

"But ...." There was a sense of pleasure because the man thought about it and was sad, because the man wasn't there, but what could be done, Ken wasn't there to stop.

But Ken was very happy to work at the stables that morning, which was also enough to help the workers there do their jobs. Starting from moving straw, cleaning the horse stable, also cleaning the horse equipment to be used.

After lunch with the workers, he not only learned to be a chariot driver but learned to ride horses from the workers there with the permission of the owners of the stables. It didn't take long, he could master it.

The dark night left no trace of the human struggle that day. A cold and lonely night just listening to the sound of the night birds accompany silence.

A black luxury car entered the yard of the house. A waitress ran into the spacious kitchen. He wanted to tell her something so that he could catch his breath, so that he could speak fluently. The woman swallowed her saliva and spoke. "The Great Lord is coming!"

The whole kitchen turned and then boomed. They are busy with their work and in a hurry.

A middle-aged man got down from the car followed by a young man behind him. His cold and pale face looked around the house. "Coscow ... Cosow!"

Before long a fat and striped cat of yellow and white rushed over. The man crouched down while putting on his armpits, his short stick and thrusting his hand at the cat. Instantly the cat approached and rubbed his body on both hands.

The man smiled. "Coscow ... Do you miss me?"

The cat meows slowly. The man rubbed the cat's neck, making the animal feel comfortable. "Let's go in!" he said, standing up and stepping into the house. He held his wand back.

The man walked in with a swift pace followed by the cat and the young man. The young man looked just as pale as the middle-aged man. Although their faces were both cold but the young man was impressed indifferently.

The servants in the house immediately formed a line in the corridor when the Great Lord came. The man looked at his one servant until their faces were bowed and did not dare to look at his master's face. Until he passed the last servant on the other end, the Chief Maid. He frowned and returned to the woman.

The woman seemed to know what the man wanted to ask. "Eh, he's dead, sir. Uh, but there's a replacement."

The middle-aged man spread a glance around. "Where is he? Why isn't he present?"

"Eh, sorry, sir." The face of the Chief Maid's Mother suddenly turned deathly pale. "I sent him to study as a coachman, sir, because Miss Lucille protested, she couldn't run a horse-drawn carriage, yesterday."

"Mk." The man shone on the woman's face. "Why can you accept people who can't work?" he said with a sharp voice.

The look on the woman's face grew louder. "Eh, I'm sorry, sir, but the man who was looking for the waiter said, it's hard to find a replacement because it's empty. Only this man exists but has no work experience." But soon he added. "Eh, but this replacement man is quite deft at work, sir."

"Eh, fine, sir."

The entire servant bowed his body until the two men left. They breathed a sigh of relief when the two had passed.

Soon Ken returned home in a carriage owned by Mr. Donovan who happened to pass by the house. He got off the coachman's seat and then thanked the middle-aged man sitting inside the carriage. "Thank you, sir, I can hitchhike up here." The Japanese man bent his body.

"Oh that's okay," replied the old man who touched the beard that was as white as his hair color. His other hand rested on a one-legged wooden stick. He lifted his hat high as the train left the Japanese man.

Ken then turned around and approached the tall gate. The guard immediately recognized the man and opened the fence.

Inside the house, the middle-aged man's wife greeted her husband by going to the study where he was. He came with Lucille. "Oh, Edmon. You just came?" the middle-aged woman said. Her face still looks beautiful at a young age. "Why are you here? Why don't you just go straight to the room? Isn't it tiring after your long journey?"

The middle-aged man who was sitting behind his desk, only glanced at the woman before him, then he turned back indifferent as he rubbed the Coscow cat that was lying coiled on the table. "no need. I do a lot of work, so starting tonight I sleep in a separate room."

"Edmon, I don't care if you have to wake up in the middle of the night ...."

"Eh, this is going to disrupt your deep sleep. It's my decision anyway."

"God ...." The woman looks confused. That man if he wants can't be rejected, but why? Why split the room? "What's wrong with you?" Seen from her eyeballs, she stared at her husband. "God ...." Something changed with him, but he didn't know what was going on.

The middle-aged man stared intently at Lucille but only briefly, then returned indifferent. Lucille had no idea what was going on with the man who was her father. His gaze was so sinister as if he wanted to strangle his neck.

Suddenly there was a knock from the door. When the door opened, Mother Chief was stunned. "Oh, sorry ...."

"It's okay. Just come in," said the middle-aged man casually while the young man sitting on the sofa, still looking indifferent.

"God ...." The middle-aged woman was still looking at the man.

Mother Head entered a bit awkwardly as she came carrying Ken, but she was also confused to be in a place where there was a conflict. The lady looked tensely at her husband.

"Gillian, I'm sorry I'm busy" the man said without turning his head and welcoming the arrival of Chief Mother and Ken.

Ken could also feel the tension in that space. Especially seeing Lucille who looked stressed.

"Everything out! Including you Ivan. I want to talk to my husband!" Suddenly Gillian spoke in a loud voice. He drove out everyone who was there.

"Gillian, why did you kick my son out?!" edmon shouted furiously.
