Chapter 81: Mother's Awakening

"Young master!" Sarah exclaimed as she finally recognized me. She moved closer, reaching out for me.

"Yep, the one and only," I replied, moving closer. Just as I thought she was going to hug me, she yanked my hand, grabbing it tightly.

"Come with me!" she commanded, dragging me with her.

"Head maid!" As the guards saw me getting away, one of them gathered enough courage to speak.

"What?" she replied, her voice emotionless as she glanced back.

"That man breached the castle; that's a crim-", he said angrily as he looked at my face. His words, however, were cut short as Sarah interrupted.

"And you guys got beaten up without even getting a chance to fight back. Go back and train!" she commanded, making them shut their mouths. Then she started to drag me into the castle.
