Morning came in the blink of an eye.
Chirp, chirp.
Kukroo-koo!
The sound of a rooster crowing echoed through the village as dawn arrived.
Along with it came the gentle melodies of birds chirping—a peaceful sound that could rarely be heard anywhere except in quiet villages surrounded by nature.
Yawn~
Amon slowly opened his eyes, waking up early because of the unfamiliar yet calming sounds.
The bed he had slept on was made of thick straw and cloth stuffing rather than soft cotton, making it far less comfortable than the beds he was used to.
His expression immediately soured when he noticed Marcus sleeping peacefully on the same bed.
"Fuck... this might be one of the worst mornings ever."
Amon stepped out of bed and stretched his body.
"Here I am, dreaming of waking up every morning beside Scarlett and other beautiful women on a king-sized bed, surrounded by warmth and affection... but instead, my luck gives me this."
Muttering complaints to himself, he walked downstairs.
