Forth's PoV
thump thump ... thump thump
thump thump ... thump thump
what is it with this thumping heart , he landed on my lap as his arm both on my shoulder
i was frozen for a moment ... before i pushed him away until he fell
"ouchhh !!" he caressed his butt
"go sit there " i ordered and he just silently obeyed me
he waved happily to his servants that looking worried for his master on the other boat
in this boat only me and him and Lam that rowing the boat , but Lam isnt let go of this matter easy , he probably would tease me alot about earlier , he's such a pain in the ass servant
as the boat on its way , i kept an eye to him , that evil human that sat infront me looked very amazed with the scenery on his left and right side , he always wooo and waaa for everything like it was his first time seeing this
"hey Jaturapoom , is that the fortress ?"
i turned to the area that he pointed "hmm" i simply hummed answer him
"waaaa , so i really see it , so that means this way also connecting to the palace right ? His Majesty asked to build the fortress to guard Ayutthaya entrance port " he seemed so enthusiast
i only nodded
"so over there must be the Saen Saep canal right ?"
i only hummed again , but he quite knowledgeable for a stupid person like i thought he as before
he smiled widely seeing everything , i never see him being like this , as he kept looking at the surroundings , i didnt realize i also kept staring at him
before Lam's annoying fake cough cut in
i looked behind me and saw Lam grinning evilly, i threw a death glare at him
Tee's PoV
i couldnt believe that i actually saw the fortress when it's still alive , now it's infront of my own eyes , sadly i didnt have my camera with me
from afar i saw a very beautiful and lavish building , and i asked the crazy man about it , and he told me that it was the palace
oh my god , i really wanted to cry , i could see the palace for real, maybe later i could see His Majesty as well
moments after , we arrived at the market , Lam tied the boat at the dock , and everyone get off
when i about to get off , out of nowhere , that crazy man offered me his hands , but i ended up asking for Lam's help instead , then i passed him by
1-1 crazy man
forget it , because now i'm at the market !! many merchants not only from Ayutthaya itself and but also foreigners and traders from abroad, they sold porcelain to pearl, silk to spices, everyone was so busy , really looked like what it described in the books
i wanted to explore this market so bad , but this crazy man must be wouldnt let me , i could only followed him from behind .
"i have errands to do , Lam would take you to the silk merchants , you choose the fabric , and wait for me there , dont create any problem ! " that crazy man then left
"hey where are you going ?!!! " i yelled but he already gone
"young master went to see his guru at the Dawn Temple khrab Khun Baramee " Lam answered me
"why he didnt let me join him ?" i sulked
"young master didnt even let me as well khrab Khun Baramee , the place that young master went to is a sacred place , not everyone could enter , only young officials for the palace and nobles could enter " Lam explained
what's with another bulshit again, that crazy man probably just went to see girls or something , ah so what ?!!? it's not my problem , i'd better go to fabric merchants so after that i could go wander around here , WOOHOO !
then Lam leaded the way to the fabric merchants that we usually went to , my eyes was so fixed to different kind of traditional fabric , i touched every detail , i'm getting emotional, this is so amazing ,it's so beautiful like it was described on book
i was happy that uncle Singto let me to go to market , so i'll choose the fabric for the auspicious days tomorrow, i really put my mind to choose only the best fabric
after we bought everything , Lam asked me to stay and wait for that crazy man , but i really wanted to stroll around , i pleaded him but Lam didnt let me go , i pleaded and persuaded him more , he ended up agree to take me around
"but dont go for too long Khun Baramee , after that we have to come back here again waiting for young master "
"alriiiiight Lam ! i wont going anywhere far , i just wanna looking around here " i gave Lam the my biggest smile
Lam had no choice but to take me around

3rd Person's PoV
khun Singto was finishing the script , when khun ying Yaya joined him in his office , she sat as she put the tea and sweet cake on the table to his husband
"thank you Yaya" khun Singto smiled dearly as he sipped on his tea
khun ying Yaya only hummed
khun Singto giggled "Forth was totally your copy , he always hummed and behaved just like you whenever he mad about something"
"khun P' !" khun ying Yaya annoyed to hear his husband teased her like that
"why , is it about Baramee again ?"
"khun P' , cant you see that kid getting weirder each day, he behaved so weirdly , he speaks different, he's not the usual Baramee ! he even helped me folding the lotus today , isnt it weird ? that ghost must be planning something , you have to do something , Baramee already dead , that one being here must be ghost"
khun Singto sighed "Yaya .. i have told you that no ghost and evil spirit could enter this house , moreover isnt it good that he helped you ? " khun Singto only laughed
"khun P'.. " khun ying Yaya getting more irritated
"listen Yaya ... the Moon mantra already punished him , sure Baramee had a bad intention to Wayo , but he didnt kill him , so maybe Moon mantra just messed with his mind a bit .. he's no one else Baramee for sure "
"how did you know all he said was true , he could be just acting or something right ?"
khun Singto held his wife's hand
"just look into that kid's eyes Yaya , you will see no lie "
*
khun ying Yaya back to his quarter after she had a quite talk with his husband , and Wayo already waited for her there
"good afternoon aunt Yaya .." Wayo wai-ed her
khun ying Yaya hurriedly approached him "Wayo son , why you're waiting here ?did the servant not telling you that i was on uncle's office ? why you didnt come there ?"
"they told me already , but i insisted to wait here , i didnt want to disturb your talk with uncle Singto khrab"
"you are not .. well , are you okay already son ? did you hurt somewhere ? we wanted to visit you to your home, but tour father said Yo didnt let anyone visit you , that why we became more worried "
Wayo shook his head "it's okay aunt Yaya , i'm okay .. thank you for your concern na aunt Yaya, i'm sorry but i need to heal my mind first , so i could be better faster" Wayo smiled "oh by the way , khun pho invited aunt Yaya , uncle Singto , and p'Forth to come to our house "
"you came this far only to send the invitation? you just went through an accident Wayo son .. you shouldn't travel far like this " khun ying Yaya became worried as she held Wayo's hand
"aunt Yaya , i'm totally okay now " Wayo smiled , but his eyes wandered around "aunt Yaya, i didnt see p'Forth around , he's not home ? "
"Forth is at the market , uncle asked him to buy fabric for auspicious day, just wait here , he wouldnt be too long "
Wayo then patiently waited for his khun P' as he accompanied khun ying Yaya made a flower garland

Tee was walking merrily as he looked at every stall, he was so excited to see goods there , behind Tee , there were Lam that holding umbrella, Ohm holding the fan , and Phun held Tee himself so Tee wont slipped away from their hands
when Tee and the servants was having some snacks at desserts stall, there was a commotion at the porcelain stall not far from their place
CRANK !
CRANK !
CRANK !
plates and porcelain goods scattered and thrown into the ground , while a bunch of people oppressed the owner of that porcelain stall
Tee looked at that with worry "P'Lam ! what happened there ?" Tee nudged Lam
"that kinda normal here khun Baramee , they're khun Joong's men , they usually use their power to take money and tribute or something , sometimes they also took young woman and young man as well "
"hey !!! that's rude ! why everyone do nothing about that ?" Tee getting furious
"young master and khun Singto once talked about this , that khun Joong Archen is french adventurer that gained His Majesty's favor, no one dared to against him , moreover this weak humbly merchants "
"that's not an excuse to justifying his action , it's beyond unacceptable!!!" Tee said like a fire burst on his heart
"ssshhh ... lower your voice young master , they can hear you ..." Phun said slowly
Phun , Ohm and Lam almost calmed Tee down but khun Joong's people started to hit the stall owner , he's a middle aged man that have no power to defend himself , he only begged for their mercy
then a young boy around Tee's age running towards the weak stall owner as he bowed down asking for khun Joong's mercy
khun Joong became interested, with this merchant's son , he lift his chin up , khun Joong stunned seeing this boy's beauty , his pale cheeks and deep dimple on it even he's not smiling
Phun , Ohm , and Lam felt sorry for the boy , and also the father
but they shocked when they saw a familiar figure walking towards the commotion there , the 3 instantly looked at Tee's supposed chair that now already empty , their feet immediately cold like the blood aint flowing anymore , the master the 3 supposed to guard , now walking into a scene
the 3 hurriedly run to catch Tee
"hey ! you ! farang ! dont be a jerk , are you human ? where is your empathy ? you treated people lower than animal ! " then Tee helped the old merchant and his son get up
(a/n : farang is foreigner , Tee called Joong like that since Joong came from france)
khun Joong smirked as he let go of the merchant and began to circled Tee , observing him from head to toe "hmm ... nice and bright skin , just by looking at it i know how soft it must be , so fragrant as well , also well made clothes with an expensive fabric " khun Joong then laughed
"hey dont think i couldnt fight you , weirdo !!" Tee pushed and provoked khun Joong
Phun , Ohm and Lam hurriedly catch Tee and about to guard him
"this is really not your problem .. young master " khun Joong emphasizes the 'young master' words like he mocked Tee
Lam stepped up "dont be rude khun Joong , this is khun Singto Jamornhum's son "
khun Joong clapped his hands and laughed "so that's it , i was wondering which family you came from , no wonder .. "
Tee still glared at khun Joong as he held the old merchant and his son
"alright , i will let it go for today , just take it as my humble respect towards khun Singto " but khun Joong continued while whispered "but for the next time .. i'm afraid .. no " khun Joong then turned and asked his men to leave as well when they about to leave , Tee yelled at them
"hey you bastard !! dont ever show up again ! next time , i will be the one kicked you right at your ball !"
khun Joong kinda surprised to heard Tee speaks france to him , but he only smiled and also replied in france "sure ..i'll be glad waiting for it , young master .."
Phun , Ohm, and Lam looked at each other as they didn't understand what their master was saying , but then they hurriedly check on their master
"are you okay young master ? you didnt hurt somewhere right ?" Phun almost cried because he was so worried
"i'm okay , i'm fine .. "Tee make sure he's okay
"young master , thank you for helping me and my father , i will forever in owe to you " that boy bowed down as well as his father
Tee hurriedly told them to get up , he also helped the old merchant to sit in the chair
"are you okay sir ? did it hurt so bad ? " Tee checked the old man's bruises
"i'm okay young master , just small bruises , it will fade in few days , dont mind me young master , i was the one who need to say sorry for bringing problem to you "
"oii ,that's piece of cake " Tee smiled "i'm glad you two are okay , oh by the way i'm Baramee Vongviphan , but now i reside in khun Singto Jamornhum's house "
"i'm Jumpol Intochar young master , and this is my son Mongkol Intochar , you can call him Kit "
Tee smiled widely "hi Kit ! you can call me Beam , since we around the same age , let's be friend "
Kit hurriedly lower his head "i didnt dare young master Baramee"
Tee still insists Kit to call him Beam , while Phun , Ohm , and Lam also helped to clean the mess , Tee then looked at the scattered plate that now cant be sold anymore
"p'phun, did you bring money bag ?" Tee whispered to Phun
Phun shook his head "i didnt young master , you dragged us to pier earlier , so we didnt get to back to your room "
Tee pouted, Lam who heard this then asked if there's anything that Baramee needs , Lam said , he had Forth's money bag , and khun Singto clearly said to let Baramee buy anything he wanted
Lam then handed Forth's money bag and Tee gave several coins to help Jumpol for his broken plates and porcelain , Jumpol rejected the money , but Tee forced and placed it in his hands
"thank you so much young master " Kit said as he so thankful to Tee's Kindness , "please come again next time , father is a great cook, we will cook you lunch "
"i'd love too !!! i'd love too !!!" Tee nodded happily as he made a new friend there
Lam whispered something , and Tee's eyes widened as he remember about Forth
after he said bye to Kit and his father ,Tee , and the servants hurriedly left to the fabric stall , luckily Forth still arrived yet
Tee acted like a nice kid waiting patiently when Forth arrived , Forth looked at those 4 , but nothing suspicious, seemed like he behaved well , Forth thought
"did the fabric ready ? " Forth asked Lam
"since hours ago ~ waiting for someone running errands that took forever " Tee replied sarcastically
Forth saw at the fabric behind them , it was all already wrapped nicely
"hey evil human , do you ... do you want to buy something ?" Forth stuttered
Tee turned at him and simply leave "No .. i'm tired , want to go home " Tee walk pass Forth by "come on p'phun , p'ohm , p'lam"
Tee actually smiled and they all head back to home
