25 Itori (2/2)
Introduced Lucien himself as he sipped his coffee.
”Ooo your name is so long are you some kind of aristocrat? That would explain you are bizarre clothing. Can I call you by your surname or would you prefer me calling you by your name?”
Smirked Itori at him as she asked. Even though she was best in the brand but she didn't hear anybody called Etras di Aeon. It wasn't so surprising because very very a few people knew about the existence of this name.
”Yes I am and you could call me Lucien. You are the first person besides my family to call me that.”
He said to her. He didn't consider Dante as first-person cause their two families were extremely close because of their ruled and fought side by side. So Dante and he were more like sworn-brothers than friends.
”Okay, okay Lucien-san. Sooo why did you come to Tokyo?”
Asked Itori with as she innocently blinked her eyes. Then she sipped her blood wine and looked at Lucien's reaction to this question. Sadly his expression was still indifferent and the same as it was before.
”Only for some family business. Boring thing. Nothing that would interest such a young lady.”
Lucien hit the soft spot of most women. Age. When Itori heard his compliment her expression lost for some time previous vigilance about his talks. He feared she would have some tricks to discern if he was deceiving her so he used this old cheap trick. It surprisingly worked good.
”You are such gentleman Lucien-san. Do you have any girlfriend?”
Asked Itori mischievously with a smile on her face. Lucien almost spurred out his coffee when he heard that. These kind of question were extremely uncomfortable to him. He was doing his best to keep himself composed.
”Nope Itori-san. I must say that your coffee is really delicious. I have enjoyed it very much.”
Said Lucien with a smile to which Itori smiled somewhat proudly too. Then he stood up and as he already finished drinking his coffee and looked at Itori.
”Sorry I don't take any money with me but I can give you this.”
Apologized Lucien and took out a little gold coin with only one word. ”Aeon” was written there. He tossed that coin to her and she examined the golden coin.
”Don't worry that coin may have bigger value than it looks like. I would come tomorrow too so goodbye Itori-san.”
Said, Lucien, as he walked out of the Helter Skelter bar. Itori was looking at his departing figure with a sigh. Until she noticed some weird noise coming from outside, quickly using back exit to take a look.
