On my way back to my room I found some maids talking and surprisingly they were talking about me or we can say the earlier me. They were talking about me being a dead weight and being kicked out of the house. While talking a maid noticed me and froze on the spot. The second maid had a somewhat similar reaction.

I did not give them any reaction because I did not know what reaction I should give.

It was then that the maids came in front of him.

"Young master, we are sorry for saying such things please forgive please.

Their voice was trembling as well as the body, they were so frightened that they fell on their knees begging for forgiveness.

All the ruckus succeeded in gathering everyone' attention in the mansion.

I could see servants coming from all directions, some maids on seeing the two maids kneeling and apologising in front of me that they covered their mouths, while a frown could be seen by others as they already made up a story about an evil young master bulling innocent maids.

While all gathered around, it was as an old butler who stepped forward.

The butler has long white hair with a long silky beard with a fine white moustache. While walking he produced little to no sound.

As he approached me he stood three stairs below, I could not figure out why he stood on the stairs below me. I concluded that he was showing me respect.

"Young master Alan, may this servant ask what have these maids done for them to apologise that too on knees"

His voice was humble and sounded like a grandpa next door grandpa but I felt threatened under his humble voice, it felt like he was warning me like something bad would happen if it was my fault.

But

It doesn't matter because it's not my fault and the whole process will only chip away my free time. I decided to end the matter as fast as possible.

"No they did nothing wrong, they just started apologising."

After saying this much I went to my room straight without giving the butler any chance to ask any more questions.

Butler Pov

My name is Issac Hubert Wolfstern, I am the head butler of Ainsworth household, I have been in this household since birth. My father told me that it was their great grandfather who pledged their alliance with the head that time.

This place is like a home to me.

With all the time I have spent here since my birth, I am sure that no one knows about this household better than me.

Today as I was going through my daily routine I heard some commotion and went to find what it was.

On arrival I found two maids on their knees apologising to young master Alan. He is the fourth and the youngest child of the household. He was a good child but since few years he changed as he did not show aptitude in any field, he became a disappointment in his parents view but to make the matter worse once he heard some maids bad mouthing him which only added water to his dam, which one day broke and anger flooded like water.

He was at first just a disappointment but the incident made him the trash, by the time count came to know about the situation, nothing could be done as damage was already done, the young master had already distanced himself from the family. All attempts to fix this were made but once words went out they spread out like wildfire.

As I approached him I clearly saw his expressionless face and the cold blue eyes. As I wasn't aware of the situation,I could not be bias till the situation was clear and if the young master was wrong he would have to face the consequences but to my surprise he didn't even bat an eye as he denied anything happening and left.

After he left I talked to the maids in private, at first they tried to lie and make excuses but it was only after applying some pressure the truth came out, it turned out to be the last thing that I wished for, the maids were punished according to the household law but it pained him more that he did not do anything as if he already accepted it.
