" No!" Adrian waved a hand at her to stop, the last thing he wanted was for anyone else to come now.

' I just need to assimilate all these memories, then I'll finally understand everything...?' Adrian's thoughts faltered when the memorial of his current body began to fuse with his piece by piece.

' What on earth is this...' Adrian's pupils dilated, his grip on his hair becoming rougher the more memories he gained.

A young blonde haired boy stood within a beautiful garden, his face creased in frustration.

" I told you to catch it! Why did you let it get away!" His feet mercilessly stomped down on a little girl with cat ears and a tail. The girl was non other than the maid who had entered his room, or what looked like her past self.

The little girl was curled into a ball on the ground as the little boy continued to assault her without any signs of empathy whatsoever.

" Can't you do anything right you useless thing!" The young boy glared at her and instead of stomping on her, reared his leg back and kicked her right in the abdomen.

A torrent of pain surged throughout the little girls body, her body writhed in pain but instead of letting out a sound, she bit her lower lip till it bleed, her eyes suffused with tears that plagued her face as she silently cried her eyes out. She knew better than to do anything that would irritate her master further.

The young boy had seen a beautiful bird that caught his eye, landing in the garden and had been quietly inching his way towards it when she entered with his meal which he'd asked her to get for him. The sound of the tray landing on the table had startled the bird, scaring it away. Having lost it's prey, in a fit of rage, the boy had turned on her to venge his frustrations.

If this was all Lucius had seen he wouldn't be so frozen, but what stunned him to the point of his own eyes moistening, was that this wasn't the only such memory he had seen. They weren't one or two, or even ten or a hundred, but countless wicked actions across the years. The maid wasn't even the only one he had treated so horribly.

By now, all the servants within the household had learned to fear him, non daring to meet his gaze, all they could wish onto their colleagues who attracted his attention was a quick release.

The more Lucius saw those memories, the more he felt as if, he himself, had been the ones to do all those things.

*****

" Su... Come here." Lucius called her over, his head lowered in silence.

" Y-Young master Lucius." The maid seemed even more fearful now. Her heart sunk, believing she had once again, done something to irritate her master.

Su unconsciously rubbed her left arm, her skin brushing against the scars hidden beneath her sleeves. But she followed his command and made her way towards his bed.

" Young master?!" Su's jolted in shock when her master suddenly grabbed at her, before pulling her towards him.

She found herself pressed against his chest, her head laying directly atop his beating heart. She felt a chill down her spine when his hands wrapped around her.

" Y-Young master." Su's eyes began to moisten, her young master had always hated her so she held it in her heart that all she had to do was endure, so long as she endured his abhorring nature, he would one day get tired of her. From her moments as a child till now, he had always abhorred her, but now that he held her in his arms, threatening to take away the last thing she owned, Su felt a wave of grief rising from her heart.

' After all you've put me through! You're still not satisfied!!! Now you want to force yourself on me?' Su didn't know what to do, she instinctively remained in place, all her time in the household had taught her that the worst thing she could do was disobey his orders, her scar ridden body was all the proof she needed to solidify such thoughts.

' Fine... I'll... I'll just' Even though she had accepted it, her words still came out jumbled in her head, the pain she felt now seemed more inexplicable than the others she had forced him to endure throughout the ages.

' Just get it over with quickly...' Su sniffles, her cat ears dipping downwards, tail laying flat on the bed as if showing her surrender.

" I'm sorry..."

' What?' Su sniffling paused momentarily, her expression like one who'd heard wrong.

" Young master?..." She said, her voice sounding muddled.

' What's he doing?' Su blinked in confusion, her sadness disappearing when Lucius tightened his hold around her. She didn't know what to say when she felt him sobbing on her shoulder.

" I'm so sorry, Su..."

" I should've never have done that..."

" I'm so sorry..."

" I don't what to say..." Su became even more confused when her master kept repeating similar words over and over again.

" Please... Please forgive me..." After what felt like over an hour, she felt his body slump against her's.

' Young master...apologized...' Su muttered to herself, right now, she felt as if she couldn't hear anything but a constant buzzing sound in her head. She didn't mind his weight, to her, it felt non existent, all she could think of were all the words he'd just said to her.

Her wicked, heartless, sinister, evil master...had actually apologized to her?

Not only that but he even cried while begging for her forgiveness as he did so.

All this left the poor maid not knowing what to do. And like that, the both of them stayed atop the bed as the night trickled on.

The next morning, Lucius yawned as he woke up from his slumber.

His eyes glanced around the room before he forces his sleep loving body to sit up straight.

" She's not here..." Lucius mumbled before letting out a sigh.

The events from last night had really been too much for him to bear. He knew how much he struggled to reject those new memories that forced their way into his head, if not because of that, he had a feeling that he might've been setting himself up for something disastrous.

" That reminds me." Lucius said as he recalled another important gain he'd gotten from last night's endeavour. Though the memories were like a stabbing blade, it wasn't completely antagonistic.

He'd managed to gain something from it, something truly vital to his path from hear on out.

" Morningstar...." Lucius muttered beneath his breath, a wary smile emerging on his handsome face.

' Who'd think that I actually became Leo's own older brother.' He chuckled. ' Well older brother anyway.'

' Plus, our relationship isn't one I'd call a perfect sibling relationship.' Knowing how terrible he once was, one could already think of what sort of relationship Lucius once had with this brother of his.

' But that's all in the past, I just need to set a clean slate.' Lucius clasped his hands together, his eyes brimming with determination.

" Young master, you're awake." A feminine voice drew him out of his thoughts. Lucius glanced at the door and saw Su standing there, waiting for him.

" I've come to help you get ready." Su bowed, stopping him and her from narrowly gazing into each other's eye's.

Lucius felt a tad disappointed, he had been hoping to see if she had given last night's scenario some thought but alas.

' It's best not to force her... I'll just have to keep waiting until she's ready.' He said to himself, Adrian sighed before getting out of bed. He then entered his bathroom which was just a door within his large room.

Su followed behind him with hear head lowered.

Like always, she helped wash his back, so as not to startle her, Lucius refrained from doing anything, even as he felt the heat from her soft chest against his back.

Lucius felt his mouth turning dry with each passing moment, at some point he even gulped down some saliva, his Adams apple trembling.

To think the past him had experienced this daily yet showed no signs of temptation. So as not to end up doing anything, Lucius constantly thought of when he would get the chance to see Snow, Melissa, Emma, Amy, Leo and Grey again, and of course, Ignatius as well, preferably when Leo returned home.

And of course, at that time, he would finally get the chance to deal with that wretched body snatcher.

" Young master..."

" Young master..."

" Young master Lucius!"

" Y-Yes?!" Lucius stiffened as he was forced out of his daydreaming.

' I've been calling out to him for so long now...' Su purses her lips, thinking to herself that her master was back to his old ways again.

" May I wash your front now?" She asked.

" Oh, yes. You may proceed." Lucius cleared his throat and said.
