The Count was a wealthy man who lived on the outskirts of Hansel's village. A little known fact about him was his love for very plump young men. When word reached his ears that family with a teen boy was struggling, the baron decided to offer them a good sum of money to allow him to take in the boy.

After a teary-eyed good bye, Hansel had his few outfits and belongings packed into a bag and was taken away to the Count's home.

A servant showed Hansel to his room, which was simple yet elegant. A single bed was to the left, quite large for it to be for a boy such as Hansel. A wardrobe was on the other side. A lush carpet covered the floor, a deep blue color that Hansel quickly grew fond of.

The servant left the teen to explore the room on his own. Hansel emptied his bag onto the large bed and moved to put his clothes away in the wardrobe.

Upon opening a drawer, Hansel found very large clothes, much too big for the Count and he was sure that he would find the sleeves about the size of his own entire body. Perhaps a larger man had once lived in this room?

A female servant entered the room, carrying fresh sheets for the bed. "Ah, I see you've found your clothing!"

"My clothing?" Wondered Hansel aloud, he turned to examine the shirt again, it was huge! How could anyone expect him to fit into these clothes?

"Well of course dear! Mind, you won't be fitting into them just yet!" The maid was finished making the bed and gathered the old sheets. She left the room promptly.

"Yet?" Hansel looked down at the shirt before thrusting it back into the drawer and slamming it shut. The maid must have mistook that shirt for a smaller one in the wardrobe he decided and opened another drawer.

This one was filled with even larger clothing...And the one below that one even larger... It continued on like this until the bottom of the wardrobe.

Maybe They hadn't switched in new clothing yet? Hansel moved away from the wardrobe and to the bed. It was very sturdy, not making much noise as he jumped onto it and crawled to the center.

The male servant from earlier knocked on the door frame. "The Count has told me to collect you. He's waiting to see you."
