Ludwig

A few minutes ago, Ludwig had pounced on a servant trying to take you down. You didn't know that and thought Ludwig was just trying to cause trouble, cruelly deciding on a punishment he had always feared: locking him in a room without you for three days.

On the first day, Ludwig reassured himself that it was all an accident, an unnecessary misunderstanding. He believes you will return soon. Every hour, every minute passes like a thousand decades.

On the second day, Ludwig searched the room for items related to you. He spent the whole day lying in bed and hugging his pillow tightly, trying to hold on to a little bit of your faint scent. He craves everything about you, to the point of not wanting to eat or drink. The food no longer had any flavor, it was dull and gloomy.

On the third day, Ludwig sat obediently in front of the door, his wolf ears erect with hope every time he heard each passing footstep. He silently prayed that that person was you. But the next moment, Ludwig was engulfed by that feeling of panic and brokenness when the sound of footsteps faded and disappeared completely.

On the fourth day, fear began to creep into his heart. Ludwig was afraid that you had forgotten him, no longer wanted him. The room became even darker, deathly silence prevailed. He felt like someone was tearing his heart into pieces.

At midnight on Thursday, the gentle sound of the door opening woke Ludwig up. He quickly jumped up from the bed and knelt neatly in front of the door. He was finally able to see you again after many long days had passed. He could only cry out weakly, uncertainly, his voice trembling with countless emotions.

"...Master?"
