88 Chapter 88: Unfortunate Even (2/2)

Caesar didn't respond and heaved the rest of his clothes over his shoulder, he glanced at Musashi one last time before walking to the door.

He slid open the door and took one step out before Musashi interrupted him with his voice…

”Take good care of my granddaughter when I'm gone, she is my star in the sky and also my light at the end of the tunnel” Musashi's joking expression was nowhere to be seen as he said these words.

Caesar's smile also disappeared as he turned around to look Musashi in the eyes, ”I can't promise that I won't make her sad or angry, however, I can promise that I will never abandon her” Caesar replied solemnly.

”That is all I want, there are bound to be hurdles in relationships, especially ones as special as yours… But, as long as you two don't abandon each other, I will be satisfied” Musashi nodded his head in satisfaction and sat back down on the bed.

”U-uhmm, p-please excuse me” Suddenly a quiet voice rang in both Caesar and Musashi's ears, interrupting their man to man moment.

They both looked to the right and saw a younger girl in maids clothing blushing furiously as she glanced between Musashi's and Caesar's near-nude bodies, she had just been walking in the hallways and heard some noises, so she decided to take a peek, but never would she have thought to find the extremely handsome Caesar and Clan head staring at each other so passionately while semi-nude.

The corner of Caesar's lips twitched, ”don't get the wrong idea little lass, this is a misconception” he tried to explain calmly but the girl's expression didn't change in the slightest.

”I-I-I understand, y-you don't want your 'prefrence' to be spread amongst the other men… I swear I won't tell a soul” she replied with determination.

'Sigh, what an unfortunate turn of events' Caesar felt as though he had sighed more times today than he had in his entire second life.

The young maid bowed apologetically and ran away with her tail between her legs, literally. Musashi at the side held his belly while laughing at Caesar.

”Haha, to think that a young maid girl would happen to pass by the hallways at this time”Musashi couldn't help but chuckle at Caesar's misfortune.

”You're in the same boat, what are the fox-kin men going to think once they hear their clan head is into young and handsome men,” Caesar asked with disdain, which made Musashi's laughter abruptly stop.

Musashi stroked his beard while carrying a contemplating expression, ”you're right, how can we solve this?”

Caesar took another step out of the sliding door and shrugged his shoulders, ”you're the clan head, do something about it, as for me, I am in dire need of sleep”

*slam*

Caesar slammed the door shut and once again sensed for that familiar mana, this time, he had actually started making his way to Ahri's room.

He soon reached a relatively simple door, he delicately turned the knob and stepped inside the room, it was pitch black and smelled like cherry blossoms.

*creak*

He quietly closed the door and threw his clothes on the ground before making his way into the bed.

”Hmm, what are you doing in my room?” Ahri who was still half asleep asked curiously once she felt someone get in her bed.

Caesar wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes, ”to sleep” Caesar replied curtly and pulled her closer.

Ahri who was already used to Caesar's embrace nestled closer and went back to sleep, she was too tired to resist nor did she want to.

Soon, only the sound of their calm breathing escaped from their mouths.
