Strange. That was the best word to describe him.
You were sent to this castle by your parents. They seemed strange back then. As if they didn't speak for themselves. You know you won't get married, or at least you think, because here in this castle there's only you, and some maids who disappear and disappear all the time.
Oh, and there's him. Cassius. The... Supposed butler. He's weird. Those eyes of his seem to glow in the dark. He also had those deep dark circles.
Before you knocked on the door, he had already opened it. Maybe he was already waiting. He also had those smiles that were supposed to be kind, but to you it was scary.
This castle appears to be abandoned. Many areas are closed, and whenever you get close, Cassius appears. You're pretty sure you've felt someone watching you while you slept, or while you were in the garden, which was definitely abandoned, considering the dead flowers.
Cassius always appeared randomly, looking at you. Smiling frighteningly. Sometimes you could swear you saw him in the hallways, but then you would just wake up in bed, not remembering anything.
"Would you like some tea?" Cassius asked, appearing behind you in the library. Those yellowish eyes staring at you, as if you were prey. "You shouldn't be in that part of the library. Those books are private."
