Chapter 40 (1/2)

Chapter 40: It’s useless to say anything to idiots who don’t realise their stupidity!

I never thought Daniel would chastise another butler like that. Moreover, since we provoked him this time, Henry’s actions were as expected.

After I looked at Henry who was being taken away, I looked up at Daniel in curiosity.

Why did he stop it?

In my opinion, I thought it would be better to jeopardise Henry’s standing when many people are looking……

More people = more witnesses. So, I thought he would not be able to back out.

Having read my expression, Daniel smiled bitterly.

“If you cause a commotion with that method, sir, there may be unwarranted damage.”

“Think of the consequences,” I was told. Of course, he lowered his voice so that only I could hear.

That look as if he’s looking at a troublemaker kid! I’m hurt!

Can I get compensation!? Someone call a lawyer!

Stop already, stop looking at me like that!

But, on second thought……

Indeed, I seemed to have created unnecessary effects here and there.

If I did get a.s.saulted by him, there will first be consequences for those around me.

Henry might get deported back to his own country, but he won’t be stripped of his status as a member of the royalty. His political standing will be weakened, causing changes in his future, but he will still be treated as a ‘royal’.

Well, if he gets out of this country, it doesn’t matter to me.

However, there is the possibility that Louis and Angelica will be censured, that ‘they could not protect me from accidents’. If they’re around me, others see them as being capable of protecting me in unexpected situations.

But if they could not react momentarily, they are seen as being ‘incompetent’.

I want to avoid tarnis.h.i.+ng their reputation like that.

There will also be consequences for Daniel, who acts as my bodyguard as well as my butler. Butlers accompany their masters to aid in their masters’ daily lives, but also act as bodyguards.

Although they dare not go against fate, they must protect their masters from accidents and violence. Thus, when they do not intervene, people acknowledge the disaster as ‘inevitable’.

Well, thinking up to here, it only sounds like a normal a.s.sault case……

I’m a bit naive……

Still, there’s no reason to stare at me like that Daniel!

Next time, I’m really going to demand compensation, you know!?

I’m a sensitive teenager! I might rebel from this, okay!?

I tried to appeal to him that I felt hurt, but Daniel just shrugged it off.

What a butler!

He’s a little…… I mean, quite superb, so is he getting ahead of himself!?

If you’re going to be like that, I have something too! I’ll report this to the higher ups……

“Your Highness…… I know that you wish to reality, but I believe you should start acting seriously now……”

I was scolded……

I think I’m being hasty because I want to end this quickly.

But because I want to end this quickly, I have to be more cautious. From today’s provocation, Henry is bound to try something today……

I’ll end this then, for good.

But, the questions is, what is he planning……? Because of Brad’s incident, I don’t think his country will readily provide him with magic tools and drugs anymore……

But I can’t rule that possibility out……

“Kyle-sama, are you alright……?”

Seeing me clam up, Angelica stood up and asked in worry, while touching my cheeks with her hands.
