Chapter 7 (1/2)

Chapter 07: My accomplice brother-in-law

The next morning, while I was having breakfast, Louis came for me.

“Good morning, Kyle. Do you mind sharing the table?”

“Good morning. I don’t mind but…… is there something you’d like to discuss?”

Louis’s smiling face was scary, so I a.s.sumed that it was because of that incident.

When I approved Louis’s request, his butler started setting the meal. Daniel, like always, used his magic to bring out tea.

“Looking at that face, you must know what I want, eh?”

After the meals were prepared and the butlers hid their presences, Louis asked that while thickening his smile.

In that smile, the meaning of ‘you know what happens if you refuse, right?’ was included.

His face is indeed beautiful, so it is doubly overwhelming. Truly like the demon king (TN: Maou) himself.

……Well, although I’m likely to be the same myself……

If I were in his shoes, I would have thought the same, so I’ll cooperate. Actually, I already had made my moves.

So, Louis will have to be accomplice.

Even if I ask Daniel to carry out my plans, it’s hard strategising on my own.

If Louis helps, then the speed will increase greatly.

So I make a devilish grin.

“It’s about the future sister-in-law, is it not?”

Bringing up the matter about Jessica in a roundabout way, I read Louis’s face.

Louis saw that I was had a dark aura in my smile, but he seemed to understand.

“………Hm…… So, what to you want me to do, future brother-in-law?”

Louis made a satisfied smile.

Since we couldn’t talk about the details at a public place, we decided to meet at my office after breakfast. Then we chatted about mundane things while finis.h.i.+ng breakfast.

As to why I chose my office instead of my room, it was because I am less likely to be disturbed in my office.

It’s not like I’m going to make him help with work, you know?

“Hey, you two. What kind of secret conversation are you two having so early in the morning? Let me in too.”

See, a disturbance.

Robert sent an unsightly wink. He still behaves annoyingly, doesn’t he?

Robert’s brain is made of muscle, so he doesn’t know for whom Louis has feelings for.

He doesn’t know why Louis does not yet have a fiancée, nor how he feels.

Furthermore, unlike a proper n.o.ble, he does not know how to read the mood.

Robert…… Will he be fine in the royal guard?

Making him inherit a n.o.ble House of a marquess, I don’t know what they’re thinking.

Just by Robert coming, the atmosphere is cooling to be like Antarctica, yet the culprit has no idea why.

For me, I wouldn’t even be able to look straight at Louis!

Anyone! Does anyone have a warm drink!?

When I silently sent a rescue signal, Daniel delicately filled my cup again.

You’re a psychic. I can tell.

I sipped the tea and took a breath. The cold atmosphere was starting to return normal, and I returned my gaze towards Robert.

“Good morning, Robert. Would you like to help with our work as well? That would be nice since there’s just so much to do.”
