B!

Of course, master. It was only a joke. Haha.

There was something very strange about Samuel's brownies...

No. I am a zombie.

brains.........

I am already wearing glasses, madam.

Oh dear. I had assumed your statements were merely rhetorical. One's mind has a way of misleading you, especially when you are as old as I am.

Were you not already aware?

Oh, however did you get there! My eyes are not quite what they used to be.

But of course, master. I stay apprised of all affairs of the Herzen family.

My good lady, what a pleasure it is to see you again! I understand the circumstances in which you left, but the master is quite lonely without you. Would you pay us a visit someday?

It could not possibly be...

Oh goodness, please don't hurt me. I was simply fulfilling my duties.

He had created a glitter bomb on a timer in the main dining room. It is most fortunate that I noticed it.

Samuel is mistaken. I disassembled his "prank" last night.

As you wish, master.

Perhaps. But tea is ready. Do come in for a drink.

I mean it as a compliment, master. You would look quite elegant.

I must say, it has caught my attention. I suspect he would be quite the dashing fellow.

No, madam, you must be thinking of my master, the current duke of Folsense. I am just a harmless old man.

I got lost in this exact same place a week ago. You're in Monte d'Or, young lady.

I must admit, the resemblance is striking.

I wish I knew, young man.

@dukeoffolsense.bsky.social Master, I seem to have found myself lost in a strange place. If it's not too much to ask, could you send someone to help me?

Yes, master.
