Episode 90 – Cover Story
Previously:
Rhur co for Venric Rroda He tells Venric that he ran into Kiel inside the Black Pearl restaurant Venric is furious because Rhur didn’t catch Kiel when he had the opportunity to do so Rhur wasn’t aware that Venric had been looking for Kiel, and had unknowingly let him escape
Rhur gulped silently, a crystalline bead of sweat rolling down the side of his head Perhaps noould be a bad time to ask for more money?
The silence descended onto the rooain
Rhur pulled his shi+rt back up, hiding his revealed skin, and then proceeded to sit as still as a statue, waiting for Venric to allow him to speak, or to shoo him out Preferably the second option He had no desire to converse with his grandfather when he was in such a foul mood
The next several h the te become drenched with sweat
One could say that Rhur’s grandfather ”doted” on hi” wasn’t the sa
Venric was in no way loving or forgiving towards Rhur Rroda He only restrained his temper iving out punisher freedom of speech
Finally, Venric Rroda broke the silence: ”Why did you come to see me?”
The soleossip about my little brother’s romantic endeavors” wouldn’t be an acceptable response
Rhur gulped, his throat suddenly feeling dry ”Ah… you see…you could say that…”
”Out with it!” Venric snapped
”I got swindled…” Rhur spoke out in a weak voice, uncharacteristic for him Yet even that weak voice carried a special type of allure
Venric’s eyes flashed dangerously, and he growled out ”Who dares swindle a son of the Rroda family?!”
Rhur coughed dryly, fidgeting in his seat a bit, before finally, briefly explaining what happened Of course, his explanation glorified hiainst by his evil younger brother
When he finished his explanation, silence descended onto the rooain
The only movement in the room came from the violent twitch of Venric’s eyebrow
Finally, Venric covered his face with his pal as if he wanted to face-paled to restrain it for it would not be an appropriate thing to do for a noble
”How much did you say it cost?”
Rhur s nuain descended onto the room
This tier than the previous silence
”Rhur… Take this as a valuable lesson As the future head, you need to learn how to deal with such situations on your own”
Rhur jumped at the chance to show his obedience ”I understand” He chirped with fake gratefulness for the advice
Rhur waited for Venric to continue, but Venric waved his hand, telling hiet out Rhur finally couldn’t restrain hi burst out: ”About the next month’s allowance…”
Before he could finish a sharp ”No!” interrupted him
”But the tab…” Black Pearl didn’t even allow people to have tabs The only reason why they made an exception for him was because he was a VIP customer who came to Black Pearl almost every day Naturally, he had to take care of the debt as soon as possible
”Take care of it by yourself!” Mercy didn’t exist in the vocabulary of Venric Rroda
Rhur’s eyebroitched Not even two of his h to cover that tab… for how long would he need to live frugally to pay this debt off??
Rhur couldn’t help but grind his teeth, a vicious light flashi+ng in his eyes ”What about punishi+ng little brother? He is squandering faet back at me!”
Venric, as trying hard not to lose his teer endure He slammed his hand on the table and viciously berated ”You dare speak about squandering money?! How much money do you squander each month in that restaurant?!”
That left Rhur tongue-tied, but the rebuking didn’t end there: ”Naturally, I’ll deal with the bastard child but who are you trying to deceive? Playing a saint in front of ence! Do you think I ao out of your way to antagonize hiht trouble?!”
Rhur’s face paled
”Kiel Rroda ht be a useless bastard child, but his reputation is spotless! Hard working, polite, e in worldly pleasures Yet look at you! I can’t even count how many different women you have been seen with in the previous month alone!!”
Rhur’s wry smiled turned so stiff that it couldn’t look anystill went on: ”If you spent half asomen you would have already succeeded me as the family head!!”
”Look at yourself! Do you think I’ll let you succeed et sca tofor help?!? Are you not worried that you would beco stock if people heard about it?? The future head of the Rroda family er brother at that??”
”What kind of heir are you?! Get out of round you for the next half of the year!!”
As soon as he received the coet lost, Rhur’s face lit up as if he received a life-saving grace He scrarandfather, with his face showing nothing but utter rerandfather’s ords And then he bolted through the door (elegantly, of course)
As soon as Rhur was far enough frorandfather, his docile expression was replaced with cold fury The grinding of his teeth produced audible noises Old fart, just wait until I replace you I’ll pay you back for all of your temper tantrums In fact, you’ll be on top of my ”payback” list
Right afterall the ht how Kiel reveled in his misfortune
Rhur blamed this entire ordeal on Kiel Yes, it was his fault He would pay it back to hier and hate towards Kiel, for there was no point in hating the redhead After all, she’ll be repaying this debt with her body He would take out all his frustration out then and turn it into a healthy exercise
As he made his way to the other side of the mansion, all of the servants who ran into hie arc None of them even dared to look at his face so they couldn’t notice the stor inside his pale blue eyes Nonetheless, they didn’t need to look at hih for all of them to feel like pechuhs in front of a lupax
Rhur suddenly stopped his waltz in front of a pretty courtyard filled with all kinds of greenery Most of the plants, however, had pink flowers all year round
Rhur was very familiar with this courtyard This courtyard and the part of the ly pink color that spread as far as the eye could see made his stomach turn
Forget it His eyebroitched I am not that desperate
