the door to the orphanage was open and he could see from behind the door a fairly young woman standing in rumpled clothes

"Do you need anything here?" said the woman

"I'm here to find someone to be my servant" said Noha

'Later when he meets the fl, he will definitely go away by himself, at least by helping him like this he won't become a crazy male lead' thought Noha

usually a lot of noble people who come to the orphanage only to adopt children or find a child to be their servant.

the woman was surprised to hear noha's words, but she then looked him up and down and she immediately knew that noha was from a really rich family

"My name is Neliyn, I will guide you, please come in" said Neliyn

noha enters the orphanage, even though the name of the orphanage is sunny orphanage but this place looks very gloomy

Unlike the name which sounds cheerful, this orphanage is really not maintained and dirty, it makes Noha feel a bit uncomfortable

'I want to be carried by Kyriol' thought Noha

"Sorry for this displeasing sight, this orphanage has not received funding from the capital for a long time" said Neliyn

she tried to explain what happened here but unfortunately noha didn't listen because his main goal here was to meet the fifth male lead

neliyn gathered the children into a large room and they stood in front of the crowd of children

"children listen, young master noha is here to take one of you to be his servant so please be quiet" neliyn said

"He said he would take one of us to be his servant?" said child #1

"hihi from his clothes it looks like he is from a really rich family" said child #2

"If he chooses me then I will have a better life than here!?" said child #3

noha looked all over the crowd but somehow he couldn't find the male lead he was looking for

"Are these all the children here?" noha said

neliyn glanced at the crowd of children, her eyes squinting because she couldn't see clearly

"Are all the children here?" Neliyn said

"no! there is one is still in the room" said child #4

"hihi that dirty one huh?" said child #5

"That's right, I just don't like being around him, how could that rich young master want to choose him" said child #6

hearing that, Noha walked away and quickly opened all the doors of the rooms in the orphanage one by one. until he finally opened the last door, he saw a child with red hair sitting on the side of the bed

when he noticed noha's presence, the boy immediately glanced at him with his silver eyes shining like jewels

At that moment, Noha immediately realized that in front of him was the male lead he had been looking for

noha came closer and knelt in front of him, the boy just kept silent with an empty stare as if he had lost hope of living

silent like a statue, his skin looks full of freckles and his face is pale, noha takes his hand which feels very cold

"He is like that, always sick" said Neliyn

'is he always sick or is it just you guys who don't want to give him medicine?' thought noha with an annoyed face

"Hey come with me and be my servant" said Noha

"Young master are you sure? he is-" said neliyn

haven't finished talking yet, noha immediately glanced at neliyn with a sharp look, he really couldn't afford to leave the child here

the male lead is actually someone who have a really big passion for life and full of enthusiasm but because of the bullying he keeps receiving

making him unable to do anything and can only blame fate, while noha is a person who will not let someone who has a strong desire to live stepped on like this

"come with me, I will take care of you and feed you so your life will not be difficult anymore" said noha

Instantly the child's eyes that were once empty were are now filled with new sparkles of hope after hearing Noha's words, he hastily held on to Noha's arm to quickly take him from the place he thought was hell

"I will take him" said Noha

"but-" she said

again her words were cut off when noha gave her a bag filled with gold coins, after that noha casually took the boy out

along the way out of the orphanage, noha saw clearly how the children stared at the male lead with disgust and arrogant looks

'Take it easy, as long as you still have the desire to live I will continue to take care of you until you meet your female lead' thought Noha

they got into the horse carriage, the male lead really didn't want to let go of noha, he kept wrapping his arms around noha's waist as if like noha would throw him away if he let go

Noha, who was hugged, couldn't do anything other than stroking the male lead's head like his older brothers usually did to him

.

"little brother, can you tell me where did you get this trash?" said Avion

he with a scary smile while pointing to the male lead who was still dirty because he had not been cleaned

"Avion brother he is not trash! He will be my servant!" noha said

"don't you already have ardia?" Osius said

"Ardia is sometimes busy so she can't always accompany me, I'm lonely" said Noha

Instantly an arrow pierced the hearts of the twins and Osius when he heard Noha say that in a pitiful tone

"fine you can keep him" Osius said

"But before that, we'll train him first so he becomes a proper servant for you!" said amon

noha just nodded because at least his family has agreed so he doesn't really care anymore

he quickly pulled the male lead's arm gently, unlike him who was usually tired of doing everything in a hurry. he took the male lead into his room, he intended to clean the male elad without anyone's help

"You take off your clothes and get into the tub filled with warm water, I'll be out in a moment" said Noha

.

when he came back, he saw the male lead doing what he said like an obedient dog

"good boy" said noha

he tried to imitate avion's behavior by stroking the male lead's head which made him blush. the male lead is very quiet, either because he doesn't really trust Noha or that's actually his nature

noha slowly bathed the male lead, he also didn't forget to brush it with soap until it was clean without the slightest dust. after finishing, noha took the male lead to sit while he dried his hair with a soft towel

His gentle and careful treatment makes the male lead feel comfortable and thinks he is very special in Noha's heart even though he is not

'I have to be careful, if I make this male lead upset then it will be the end for me' thought noha

.

"Open your mouth" noha said

hearing Noha's gentle words, the male lead opened his mouth to eat the food Noha had fed him

At one glance, the male lead immediately knew that Noha was someone who didn't really like to talk too much

so he really hesitated to speak, he didn't want to upset noha then throw him again to the orphanage

"What's your name?" noha said

"arrion" said the male lead

"I want to know your full name" Noha said

the male lead was silent for a while then answered again with hesitation

"a-arrion de eviyors..." said the male lead

He was afraid to hear insults from Noha because he knew his family was bankrupt and only had a name because of his gambling-crazed father

moreover, his mother was also a cheater who liked to lure husbands from other noble families, in the past all insults were always sent to him just because of his parents even though he was innocent

but how surprised he was, not the insulting he got but a soft and warm head stroke, it was something he never thought he would get and how noha looked at him so lovingly

making his heart feel...warm, it turns out that this is love...the love he had been craving for and hoping for, are now he got it

"nice name, suits you" said noha

arrion hesitantly spread his hands which made noha confused

"do you need anything?" ask noha

"C-can I ask for a hug?" Arrion said

he wants to prove whether noha really loves him, if noha hugs him it means he really loves him. after a few minutes, noha finally understood and immediately hugged arrion quickly, arrion's face immediately turned red because of it

'he really does love me!!' thought arrion

'haah I almost made the male lead disappointed' thought noha who was sweating coldly

from behind the door there were the twins who saw all that with annoyed faces because they saw how close their little brother was to the stranger that he brought

"Amon, we really have to train him so he doesn't dare to hurt our little brother heart" said Avion

"You're right and I'm sure dad also agrees" said Amon

they really thought of a really tough training schedule for arrion, even tougher than knight training
