It had only been a few days since he had come to this mansion, and it was strange how at peace he had come to feel here. The routine of helping Monika as a servant of the mansion, completing each and every request that she asked of him-- whether it was simple tasks like preparing the dining room for dinner, cleaning up and ensuring that the mansion was well kept... Some may have considered the fact that he was considered a servant to be cruel treatment, but to the blond it was a luxury to the highest degree.
What was setting several plates of food down on a dining table in comparison of such an act of kindness? Nothing that was worthy of any sort of complaint, seeing that he was given the luxury of food to eat, a place to sleep and a reason to wake up each day. Eyes that had always held a sense of bleakness since, had slowly start regaining life, the slightest of smiles being allowed to pull at his lips on a rare occasion.
There were.. certain things that Dio found strange, several rules that had been given to the servants of the mansion, specifically given by Alfred Drevis, Monika’s husband and the master of the mansion. Granted, he had no reason to go out his way in disobeying said rules, but they still lingered at the back of his mind, questions arising every so often in regards of them. Yet within those rules, there appeared to be a single unspoken rule: to not reveal themselves before the young mistress under any circumstances.
Alfred made his disapproval of servants going anywhere near his daughter rather apparent, some servants that had wished to befriend or serve as company to the young girl simply... disappeared, after doing so. The blond was aware of such happenings, but the trust and loyalty that he had towards Monika made it easy for him to cast his doubts away. Utterly engrossed in his thoughts, it would be of no surprise if he were to not notice the approaching presence of another, would it not?
