Chapter 36 (1/2)

Chapter 36: I’m sick and tired of waiting for problems to occur.

I explained the phenomenon to Louis and suggested that we talk about future plans tomorrow morning. Since we need to think up countermeasures for Henry……

We can’t really decide on anything with a short talk. It’s also meaningless to ask for Louis’s opinion when his mind is only on Jessica. Then, it’s best to send him back to Jessica quickly for us to spend a meaningful time.

“Then, see you tomorrow in my room. I asked Angelica to take care of Jessica so don’t worry about things surrounding Jessica……”

“Yeah, thank you. Jessica should be fine if it’s Anju…… though I feel a bit frustrated……”

I am negotiating about the future with the school. I also requested Angelica to follow up, so there is no need to worry about Jessica. When I told that to Louis, he showed mixed feelings.

Well, I can sympathise. Any man would want to protect the girl they like themselves. However, to choose her peace of mind above his pride, Louis is indeed a good man.

“Louis-sama, a gift for you, sir. Please have it with Jessica-sama.”

“Huh? Thanks…… what’s in it?”

To Louis who was about to return to his room, Daniel gave a small package.

Louis interestedly inquired about the contents as well.

Of course he would. I have no idea why Daniel did that. He never did give ‘gifts’.

I’m also curious.

Seeing Louis and my suspicious gaze, Daniel smiled softly.

“They’re just dried fruits. They say fruits are good for restoring energy, and since they are tomatoes in there I believe that it will have some good effects? Furthermore, I thought that it might be better to feed Jessica-sama sweet things……”

I was bewildered by Daniel.

What’s with this high level of girly power!?

I never knew that tomatoes were good for restoring energy. And to think of something that Jessica can have easily without getting someone to feed her…… That’s my Daniel!

Louis too sent a bewildered gaze to Daniel. Louis becomes horribly petty when it comes to Jessica, but he too did not feel like reb.u.t.ting Daniel.

“Th, thank you…… when I return…… I’ll have it with her.”

Thanking him, he returned. Right afterwards, Doga appeared and thanked Daniel politely before following Louis.

Now, regarding Henry.

Our original plan was to wipe out both Brad and Henry when they fell for our trap, while we would declare war on the other country, to cause his complete downfall. For now, Henry’s country and our empire are on friendly terms. However, the empire is much bigger and has better military strength.

If someone tried to do something to the heir of such a country, that country could only exclude Henry from royalty and show their good faith toward the empire.

Being merely the fifth prince, the problem child Henry should have got out of the picture. Then we would be able to secure the safety of Mich.e.l.le, and he would no longer be involved with Jackie’s little sister. Or so we planned……

This time, we appropriated the magic tools and aphrodisiac that Henry supplied to Brad.

We also conveyed that we have taken custody of Jackie as a witness. However, it’s still not enough to strip him of his status.

Henry merely delivered the goods. He isn’t responsible for how Brad used it. The goods weren’t originally used for malevolent purposes anyway.
