It was a normal morning at the Sazenin estate. Hayate Ayasaki woke at 4:00am sharp to prepare breakfast.

Hayate POV

I wondered what Milady would like this morning so I decided to go for a breakfast omelette considering she loves eggs. Everything seemed to be going smootly when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Good Morning Hayate-kun" I turned to see Maria-san beginning her morning routine as well.

"Good Morning! Sleep well?" I asked

"Miss Nagi was a little restless but she managed to quiet down eventually" she responded

"Ah I see, you must really have it rough" I stated offering a sincere smile. We continued cooking, cleaning, organizing and all laundry that needed to be done before Milady woke up so we could attend to her with no prior responsibilities getting in the way. Time really seemed to fly but I didn't mind the peace and quiet of the morning. It was relaxing to me to be able to work in complete peacefullne-

"HAYATE! I'm huuungry" that familiar voice rang out to me. It's nearly been 2 years since Milady hired me as her butler. You'd think that her being 15 she'd grow up a little. Oh well, I don't mind serving her and her childish nature.

"Good Morning Milady!" I greeted "Why are you up so early on a Saturday?" I asked looking at the clock with both hands pointed at 12:00pm

"Don't make fun of me! I'm not lazy!" She yelled back

"Yes! Sure!" I retorted sighing a little. It's better not to get her on her bad side. I made tea for her and gave her the breakfast omelette which she seemed to be drooling over.

"WOW! SO GOOD!" She practicly vaccumed the whole thing down which was a big confidence booster for the day. It's always appreciated when she loves my food.

"Nothing but the best for Milady!" I held my fist to my chest triumphantly

"Yes!" Milady blushed in return. As I was preparing to move onto the rest of the day, Maria-san walked in holding a letter and extended it out to me.

"Hayate-Kun, this came for you today. It looks important. Do you know what it is?" She asked curiously

"I wasn't expecting anything so I really don't know what it could be" I informed. I took the letter and inside the envelope, there was a warning sign which read,

'Read this in private or bad things will happen to someone'

A sudden chill ran down my spine. Why was this so ominous? Who sent this? Who is the person bad things will happen to? I eyed the warning again to make sure I read it right.

"What is it Hayate-kun?" Maria-san asked.

"Um It's nothing! Just a letter from someone haha" I passed off, "I just need to do something in my room, I'll be right back!" I rushed off into my room to see the contents of the letter. Once I had shut the door, I unfolded the stationary. It read as follows,

'Good day Hayate,

If you are reading this, I trust you are alone. I have been watching you for some time now and I have to say your skills are beyond impressive. So, I wanted to offer you a proposal that you couldn't possibly turn down! Attached to the bottom of this letter is coordinates to 3,000,000 yen. 2 times the amount of your debt. If you agree, I will give you this money to pay off the Sazenins and you can work for me as my butler with no debt to your name and I will pay for everything you would need. Basically I'm offering you the best position anyone could ever ask for. Great Pay, no debt, although, expenses paid, what could be better that that?

I figure Nagi Sazenin might have a problem letting go of a butler that's way too good for her so all you would have to do is leave the money in your room right next to a resignation letter so she can't legally try to stop you since your debt will be more than paid off. Seriously, you can do way better than her and I can treat you so much better than she ever could.

Finally, I hope you've already made up your mind to work for me instead but if for some odd reason you don't want to I have no choice but to resort to this'

I panned down to see a picture of both Milady and Maria-san sleeping that previous night. I froze immediately. I continued to read.

'As you could probably guess, something unfortunate could happen to these two individuals if you didn't want to take this great opportunity. But you are probably wanting to break free of your chains and jump towards me! Send your reply to the return address posted on the bottom of this letter. I know you'll make the right decision. See you soon 3'

I put the letter down as sweat came rolling down my cheek. My mind was overloaded. 'I have enough money to pay my debts off! But how did they get that pictufe of Milday? Why do they want me? Would they do anything to Milday?' I thought as I scrambled to get a grasp on things.

"Hayate!" Milady barged into my room smiling, "Let's go shopping today!" I didn't even have time to respomd when she yanked me out of my room and before I knew it we were outside.

We began walking to get to the shopping district. I figured this would be a good time to see where I stand with Milady. "Milady may I ask a question?"

"Sure" she smiled back

"What would happen once my debt is paid off?" I asked

"What!?" She seemed horrified at my question

"Sorry Sorry! I was only asking hypothetically! No big meaning behind it at all!" I lied in a panic

"Oh... okay." she looked relived and slightly blushed my way a little bit "besides, with your debt you'd work here for me at least 50 more years" We kept walking but in silence when I felt that something wasn't right. I looked up and-

"MILADY LOOK OUT!" I grabbed her and pulled her out of the way of a falling tree. I quickly investigated and saw a figure standing at the trunk of the tree pointing to their watch and holding stationary. 'Is that person related to the letter I received today? They must be.' I turned my focus back to my mistress, "Milady are you okay?" She looked at me with a blush on her face

"You'll protect me from anything so I'll always be okay" she responded shyly. We continued to shop until the end of the day. Once we returned to the mansion I went to my room to study. I walked over to my desk and saw another letter there. After the incident today I need to look at this. I opened the letter

'My dear Hayate,

To protect your current and soon to be ex-mistress, you have no choice but to come towards someone who actually wants you and will take much better care of you. So what will your answer be?

I want to hear from you soon! 3'

I grabbed a piece of stationary and a pen.

"I know what I must do"
