Chapter 258: The Story of Kaori

Kaori's life was quite pleasant and happy. Working for one of the prominent families in the city provided a high salary, three meals a day, and although living as a servant, Kaori felt her life was more than sufficient. In fact, one could say that living under the roof of the Sato Family was a very comfortable and luxurious life.

However, all of that changed when Kaori was reassigned to take care of one of the children of the Sato Family, Haruto Sato.

Haruto Sato, one of the children of the current head of the Sato Family, was different from his siblings. Unlike the other children who had extraordinary talents, Haruto did not possess any Anomalies or Abnormals. In fact, Haruto could not fight properly.

Because of this, the Sato Family regarded Haruto as worthless. They paid no attention to him, only providing him food because he was the child of the head of the family, but Haruto was not even allowed to eat with his family in the dining room.

The head of the Sato Family did not care about Haruto, and was even very indifferent towards him. Haruto's mother? She openly stated that Haruto was a useless child, trash that was not worthy.

Kaori was, of course, aware of all this. She knew that in the Sato Family, what was valued was not character or human values, but rather talent and ability. That was also the reason why Kaori could live comfortably in the Sato Family—because she had a talent in service. Kaori's skills allowed her to be accepted for work there, living quite well.

However, since being reassigned to take care of Haruto, Kaori began to feel anxious. She started to realize that her happy days would soon disappear.

That day was the first time Kaori met Haruto, right in his private room, becoming one of the moments Kaori would never forget. A meeting that changed Kaori's perspective; that day was when Kaori began to hate Haruto Sato with all her heart.

In the quiet room, a boy lay sleeping soundly. The boy had white hair that looked like snow, with light blue eyes that were almost invisible in the darkness of the room. The boy looked very cute and handsome, as if nothing could threaten his peace.

However, Kaori was shocked. The twelve-year-old boy, who seemed so fragile, was treated very cruelly.

"Fuck!" Suddenly, Haruto woke up with a face full of anger, his voice loud and sharp, like lightning striking.

Since Haruto was considered talentless and useless by those around him, he began to throw out harsh words; perhaps he did this to express his anger and frustration. Kaori thought that maybe this was Haruto's way of coping with the emptiness he felt—an emptiness that arose from the absence of family affection. Perhaps, the harsh words were an outlet for the loneliness and hatred that gnawed at Haruto's heart.

In fact, some servants said that Haruto could curse thirty to fifty times a day. Kaori was shocked to hear this—a twelve-year-old boy, with so many curse words being thrown around.

"Who the hell are you!" Haruto glared at Kaori with a look full of hatred, his eyes blazing with anger.

"My name is Kaori Shimizu, starting today I will be your personal servant," Kaori replied softly, even though her heart was racing.

"Is that so...?" Haruto responded with a tone full of hatred, uninterested in who Kaori really was.

"Come closer." Haruto suddenly commanded in a lower tone, but full of threat.

Kaori was taken aback, confused by the command given, but she stepped forward, following Haruto's order. But it seemed that was not enough for Haruto. Without warning, he roughly pulled Kaori's hair.
