Ch. 207 A Storm Will Come Soon (2)
Elena nodded in acknowledgment. Harry’s words were not wrong.
“Indeed. Then please deliver the message to your grandfather.”
“He is too stubborn to listen, but it is true that I personally support you.”
Harry smiled and retrieved something from the inner pocket of his jacket. In his hand was a lily-shaped brooch studded with glittering jewels. Elena studied it curiously.
“This is…?”
“This is my gift to you. It’s not much, but if you show this brooch to any of the Krauss leadership, you can reach me anywhere.”
As he stated, it was not a particularly unique item, but that didn’t mean it was worthless. It was a symbol that he would be there for her in a moment of need. Elena could not hide her surprise as she accepted the flower brooch.
“I never expected a gift. Thank you.”
“Please think of it as a reward for answering my questions today.”
Although Harry was still softened by youth, Elena was grateful to build a close relationship with him, even if it was not necessarily a political one. She didn’t understand his sudden generosity, but she wouldn’t turn it away.
“I’ll never forget that you gave me this gift.”

There was a fierce battle now, and everyone wanted the support of the Krauss family. When the winner was decided, the family may have to change their position completely, which was why they couldn’t be defeated by anyone.
Harry spoke with a satisfied smile.
“I felt it from the beginning, but you and I are alike in many ways.”

Harry stepped into the carriage and sat down comfortably.
“Did you get bored waiting? Let’s go now.”
Sitting opposite of Harry was another man. His name was Mikelo, a Ruford scholar in his mid-thirties who served as teacher to Harry.
