"You..." the butler took a deep breath, filled with anger yet helpless, "people who are so ungrateful like you will not end well!"
Turning around, he walked heavily and quickly down the stairs.
As the sound of his steps faded, Moses stood up and paced to the window. He watched through the blinds as the butler carried a small suitcase out of the house, got into a car, and drove away from the manor until he was out of sight. Moses continued to stand by the window for a long time, unable to snap out of his daze.
Even now, he remembered the first day he returned to the castle with the father who had adopted him. The butler had made him a bowl of thick corn soup, which he drank without using a spoon, lifting the bowl and gulping down the soup until it was empty.
The butler didn't say anything, just served him a second bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.
