Chapter Text
3rd October, 980th Year of Our Lord.
I thought I would be safe from the nobles hiding in Lukedonia, but Gechutel K. Landegre and a Rayga Kertia detected me to detain me to the Lord. I was able to escape, but they outclass me in terms of power and ability, despite my usage of Dark Spear. They are aware of the destructive nature of Dark Spear. I am unsure if I will be able to escape Lukedonia, but I found what appeared to be a large and uninhabited mansion located north of the location of our altercation. It is dark and dusty, and there are no servants. However, there is a silent tall male, whom I pretended to be a servant for. Dark Spear took much out of me, but he noticed I was wearing his shirt as he walked away.
4th October, 980th Year of Our Lord.
The man is incredibly attractive. He is litle and lean, and his face is a study in beauty. All nobles have a regal look, but this man is a different kind of beautiful.His aura is overwhelming, though I suspect it is being dampened.
He seems so very lonely. I saw him staring out the window, but he noticed I was wearing his shirt. It is safe to assume he is very particular,and that his powers include the changing of outfits.
I will have to acquire more uniforms. It appears he has accepted my ruse as the new servant, despite no evidence of prior servants.
It appears I am here to stay.
He knows of my powers, and his name is Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, he is not the lord but of equivalent standing. I can sense the fear of him from the two nobles who were out to detain me.
I am now a butler. It appears He has accepted me.
2nd December, 980th Year of Our Lord.
Relations have improved with the two nobles. They help me to control Dark Spear, though i am not sure if they are just trying to curry favor with Him.
I continue to serve Him, but the majority of my time is free.
I appear to have contracted a minor illness.
My master’s health is questionable.
8th February, 982nd Year of Our Lord.
I have been serving Him for two years now.
I have restarted my research.
It appears my minor illness is a side effect from overexertion. It may be from overexertion. I have been training the Dark Spear, but my illness has persisted since I arrived. It is unknown if this is due to the climate or another factor. It may be due to the high concentration of power in Lukedonia.
31st November, 987th Year of Our Lord.
My Lord has an unknown ailment. He has allowed me to do non-invasive treatments, but he still suffers.
My own unknown ailment worsens.
9th March, 991st Year of Our Lord.
The Lord called me before him today.
He is an odd fellow. He offered me his blood and asked why i had not come to visit him.
It appears the other nobles are used to his antics. Maybe i should really have gone to visit him earlier.
His energy was on the same level of my Master’s. What is their relation?
The Lord has never requested me before. What has changed? He stated that Master should have sent me, but Master rarely speaks. It seems to be in his nature.
The Lord does care for Master, but does not know what to with his reticent nature either. I am concerned.
My master’s loneliness fills my heart with pain, but after hearing that it is not a punishment from the Lord or others, i am more concerned. Now knowing he is the Noblesse, which appears to be another sort of Lord, his strained relations make sense.
My heart is deeply saddened knowing that my Master has no relations. I wish to help him, and care for him deeply. I do not know how long he has been alive, but it must bea thousand years at least.
My own ailment grows worse, so I suspect it has to do with being around beings of overwhelming power.
10th March, 991st Year of Our Lord.
Now knowing what I know, he stands imperiously at the window. The loneliness seems to emanate off of him as the breeze blows through his silky hair….
It is a good life I live, but i wish to help my master. His loneliness is overwhelming and I am overcome with sadness at the thought that he may never leave this cursed mansion.
A thousand years is a long time, noblesse or not. He has not left the house in ten years, since I first came to him. Why does he restrict himself so?
The other nobles annoy him with their company. But Master has not showed the same for me.
It appears he tolerates my company. I am very glad for this. But now knowing how the nobles contract, has he been offering the contract for years now? Have I been too blind to see it? Does he think I only attend to him out of duty? Or do not want the contract? Oh, Master, I am so sorry.
I will make the contract. The nobles who annoy my Master want something from him. I do not trust them.
18th March, 991st Year of Our Lord.
I sparred with Urokai yesterday instead of Gechutel. His soul weapon, Dragus, is a long and thin blade. I removed his eye, but was overcome by Dark Spear. Noble leaders are quite resilient.
He had Tesamu’s necklace. The Dark Spear overpowered me in a moment of weakness, and Master brought me back in front of the Lord and Family Leaders. I am so grateful to him.
His poor health has become increasingly apparent. He said it was not my fault, but how long has he been living like this?
19th March, 991st Year of Our Lord.
I spoke with the Lord today. He shortened his life ...for me?
What has my quest for power done to me? To require that my Master take care of me, to shorten his life for me. Exactly how much time did he lose in saving me?
How much time does he have left?
My master was forced to kill his brother with his own lifespan. This will never happen with me. Never . I just want to be with him forever. I want to care for him.
I made the contract this afternoon. It is as the Lord said, it was a simple exchange of wills. I noted no side effects for him, but I am coughing up blood much more than usual. This fits with my hypothesis that being exposed to their power has consequences for a human. This afternoon I coughed up what appears to be a flower petal. After later tests, it appeared to be an orange blossom, which do exist in Lukedonia.
It matters not. I wish to be with him forever.
