The Iron Maiden

Part 5

Walking in the luxurious and grand hallways of the Rosenblade family manor was an angry boy that was wearing a scowl

His crimson red eyes were radiating so much hostility that the household servants who would pass by him would shiver upon seeing it, and would immediately bow upon his presence

"G-Good day Sir Raiden"

Out of a group of maids, one was able to give out a greeting, the rest of her colleagues couldn't even bear the thought of looking at him in such an angry state. They know what was gonna happen to the servants who rubbed him the wrong way, so they tried to act as passive as possible and kept their distance 

"Hmph"

The boy merely scoffed at the greeting of the maid and proceeded to walk further

The maids let out a sigh of relief once the boy was out of their sight, they then whispered to each other

"D-Don't you think Sir Raiden seems more menacing than usual?"

"Yeah I feel you, Just remembering the look on his eyes is enough to shake my boots!"

As if on cue, the woman entire body spasmed for a moment

"Well whatever the reason may be, I don't wanna get involved with it. We can never imagine what goes on in the mind of that child after all"

 "Yeah..."

The maids then stopped their chitchat and returned to their work

Raiden continued walking through the long hallways of the manor, scaring every household servant that they have on sight. Many would wonder what the cause for his rage may be, but contrary to their expectations the feeling that he's experiencing right now is less akin to rage and more like absolute embarrassment 

I've never been so humiliated!

He thought to himself as he continued walking through the hallways, the image of the ashen-haired maid kept appearing on his mind and once it does he would feel an indescribable feeling in his heart

After a few more minutes, he finally reached his destination which was his room. Raiden quickly opened the door and head on inside, It was a wide and spacious room that was filled with luxurious items and ornaments, the room also had a small terrace connected to it

Raiden locked the door and stood by in front of it quietly before his bottled up frustration finally erupted

"Damn it!"

Raiden's fury could be felt at the shout

"Who the hell was she?! and what made her think that she could do this to me?! the audacity of that harlot!"

Raiden went around the room and trashed most of the items that he could find, he would grab the expensive vases and would smash them on the floor, tear down the beautiful paintings that were hanging at the wall, and would kick down and slash the chairs and couches using his sword

In mere minutes, the once-grand room that looked like it belonged to royalty was reduced to a place that looked similar to a messy tavern room

"Haa...Haa...damn it"

After releasing his pent up rage, he returned his sword back to its sheaths and proceeded to go to his room's terrace

From there, he could see the vast length of the manor, the huge beautiful garden that their family owns, and the wide lands that are under their rule

His face was hit by a cool and comforting breeze which cause his hair to flutter for a moment, Raiden felt a bit calm after this so he opted to stay here for a while, he sat down one of the nearby chairs and enjoyed the relaxing scenery
