Chapter 1: This Young Master Had No Clue

He honestly wished he had devoured the soul of the poor sap whose body he stole.

More sauce, he ordered.

Yes, young master. When a maid came to replace the empty bowl with another garlic sauce he cast an idle eye on her.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Noticing his gaze she visibly shivered before scurrying back to the wings of the dining room. He snorted and then slathered the fish he was having for breakfast with sauce. It admittedly tasted pretty good without it but he hadnt had much of an appetite given the circumstances.

Mystery number one: Three days ago he found himself in this world in the body of this Young Master in what he assumed was a decently sized city. Not that he stepped out to explore it when he couldnt even find the bathroom. He had servants to wait on him, a manor big enough that he still hadnt seen all the rooms, fine food, silver under his mattress, and a shitty reputation.

It was a good thing stuck-up prick was his second language, the servants still hadnt realized he had no idea what the hell he was doing.

Im done, he said, pushing away from the table. He could drown the food with sauce and still not taste a thing. As the servants cleared the tables and opened the door for him he looked around.

Mr. Goatee was also the only one in the entire estate that he could connect with, damn if he didnt know why though.

How is your health, Young Master?

Terrible, he said. Mr. Goatee looked at him strangely. Sure it was a lame excuse but he should have expected- oh the mirror. He let it go and it fell with a bang, he took some pleasure that he wasnt alone in jumping at the sound.

As Mr. Goatee considered what to say he brought up the burning words again. Mr. Goatee didnt seem to notice it floating between them just as he didnt notice anything that would explain why he could Connect with this man but no others. So long as he willed it he could connect right now and perhaps figure it out but Mr. Goatee knew the Young Master too well for him to trust something as personal sounding as a Connection to him.

Mr. Goatee finally seemed to get his nerve together, clasping his hands and bowing low. Young Master, my apologies, but we cant delay anymore. Mr. Goatee sounded serious this time, weaseling his way out of this one would be difficult.

If I dont want to rush then I wont. Who dares to make me? It was distressing how easily he fit into the mold of an arrogant noble scion. He could feel his working-class background crying in pain.

I understand Young Master, but it will greatly offend the Lan family if were late to the wedding.

This Young Master had too many damn invitations. If it wasnt for a wedding then it was for a party or a night on the town. His health excuse was already wearing thin but he couldnt help it. Fooling the servants was one thing, the hierarchy prevented them from asking too many questions. Fellow nobles or, god forbid, friends? Theyd realize something was wrong in an instant.

Just send them my congratulations. Im not feeling well. Probably rude but he didnt care, whatever reputation this body had wasnt as important as his safety, and if it meant hed get fewer invitations in the future then all the better.

But Young Master how will we explain that to your bride! Mr. Goatee said, exasperated.

My what?
