Chapter 4: Chapter.4. Alfred.
Anxious.
That was the only feeling Alfred was feeling right now as he looked at the broken window and the empty bed infront of him. In his long career of working inthe Marione family household, Alfred has felt this feeling only once in his life time when the old master and madam took their last breath on the sick bed, living behind the seventeen year old, young master in his care four years ago.
He never knew he was going to re-live those terrifying moments today when he entered his young masters bedroom inthe early morning. Ominous thoughts were shouting inside his head when he slowly moved towards the broken window with shaky legs.
" ooohhh mighty god in heavens please let my young master be safe " Alfred was a firm believer of the holy church so he started praying to holy gods as he reached the broken window and held its edge with shaky hands. Taking a deep breath Alfred calmed his nervous heart and looked down from the broken window with stiff face.
"huh Yess!!! I was right, I was right ohh god thank you for the mercy on my young master " Not seeing a body from the second floor window of his young masters room, Alfred shouted in pure ecstasy not minding his domineering image he had in the household and the outside world. This kept on going for a few minutes when another ominous thought made its way inside Alfred's mind, making his breath tense again.
"If young masters body is not in the front lawn then their is only one reason that he is not inside his room and thats " Nervously speculating the incident infront of him, Alfred came to a scary reason behind his master disappearance who never went out of his bedroom after his parents died four years ago and that is
" H he is kidnapped by someone" Alfred muttered with shaky breath.
Comming to this ominous conclusion Alfred didn't waste his time in thinking as every second was precious for masters life. He bolted out with lightning speed and shouted in serious manner to the servants.
" Jack close all the gates and gather all the servants in the main hall right this instance, Markus go bring the city guards right now, I want them inside this mansion in few minutes " His scary domineering voice commanded the servants in the household.
Hearing the angry voice of Alfred who did all the work of Marione family, from household to business decisions for the young master, no one delayed and did what was asked of them in an systematic manner...

" So what you are saying Mr.Alfred's is that young master Lucas is missing from his room, this morning " Having heard the anger and urgency inside Alfred's voice, Markus brought the guards as per the time given to him.
" That is exactly what I am saying, How is this possible for criminal to enter the nobel district when you all get such an hefty sum from our noble household " Alfred said in an anxious tone, while he brought the four town guards inside his young masters bedroom, Markus following from behind with a shocked look after hearing the words spoken from Alfred's mouth.
" It is indeed our fault Mr.Alfred and for that we are sorry to you but believe me I will see to it that we will find young master Lucas and punish those who had done this crime " The leader from the four who looked like the captain of the small group said in an sincere and polite way. He didn't dare to get angry on Alfred for his harsh words as this matter was very serious, the victim this time is not a commoner but a noble man, if words about this spread outside and the young master is not found quickly, then the peoples reaction and the retaliation of the nobles living inthe noble district will not be good. Unrest would be formed inside the mass population about the safety plus the pressure from the nobility would even shake the mayor of the kark town. No matter what, he has to find the young master as fast possible or the consequence he and othe guards will be facing would not be a simple dismissal.
Thinking about the ominous future ahead of him the captain and the other guards started searching the room with scrutinizing gaze inside the bedroom.
Standing outside the room with Markus behind him, Alfred didn't continue to express his dissatisfaction towards the guards and let them do their work in complete silence. After all, useless bikring will not help his young master. He would settle this matter when his master is found.
" At what time did you entered the bedroom Mr.Alfred " Having not find anything note worthy inside the bedroom, the captain asked.
"ohh Yes ! I came at exactly eight a clock inside masters bedroom, as per usual schedule " Alfred said in a rapid and flustered manner.
' hmm if what he said is true then either the boy was kidnapped when everyone went to sleep or inthe late midnight' having listened to Alfred's testimony, the captain started making speculations inside his head.
" Do you have any suspicion on anybody that may have did this ? " he asked another question to narrow done suspects in his investigation.
" Young master has silent personality, I don't think he has any --- "
" Sir Alfred "
While the conversation was going on, in an systematic manner, a young maid came running through the stairs, towards them.
" Don't disturb me Noelle and wait down stair, I am really angry right know so don't make me exp---- " due to the intense atmosphere Alfred got angry when a young servent disobeyed him but before he could finish his words, she again spoke with a low voice.
"Its important Sir Alfred, its about Young master "
" What " both the man, Alfred and the captain of guards shouted in Unison.
" Yes! He is standing inside the hall, he is back" Hearing their question she immediately answered them, without a single delay on her side as she fear useless dramatic would incurre their wrath on her.
" Young Master " Hearing her confirmation, Alfred bolted out with great vigor, unfitting of his image that the young maid has about him in her mind.
