Kato Auvray
Kato fixed his gloves and withdrew a deep breath. The Council of Elders had relieved him from his duty of serving the princess. They had instead, assigned him to the new Heroes that had just arrived. There were only four Heroes so far, but he would be supervising all of them. To be honest, he was a little sad. He had known the princess all his life and they were close friends. But because of the theft of the third Tome, he knew he was at no place to complain.
Kato pushed open the glistening doors (which he had cleaned a little before the arrival of the Heroes) of one of the many reception rooms. The Heroes were quite young – two around his age and another two were much younger. The younger boy appeared to be smiling and he hoped they were getting along well. It would make his job much easier. The four seemed to be surprised by his sudden entrance and he gave them a warm smile.
“Good day Heroes. I am Auvray and I am your supervisor as well as your butler. It is a pleasure to be in your service.” Kato said, performing a little bow. He made sure to keep his emotions in check and to also have a kind smile on his face. To look hostile to the powerful Heroes would to be wishing for death. He noticed the youngest girl in the room seemed to be injured. What had happened while he was off bidding his farewells to his previous master? “Please allow me to help you madam.” he suggested, offering his arm. The girl turned away. He did not protest. Instead, he turned to the eldest of them all (a tall man who seemed to be a little older than him) and gave him a bell. “If you ever need me, please ring the bell. Please do not be worried that I won’t be able to hear you. Even if you’re in another world, I will come to you.” he said with a small smile. Exiting the room, he thought he did rather well.
