Dusk In Moorea

HR#44

"Ronald's !" Call Duke Xander before the butler comes out of the reading room.

Ronald's hand that was holding the doorknob back on the drop. The man turned around and looked down respectfully at Duke Xander.

"Yes Duke !"

"Don't let Leon out of the house for the next week. Tighten the guard and allow the guards to drag Leon if the boy fights."

Ronald's eyes were round in disbelief. Duke Xander seems to be completely opposed to Leon's relationship with the Asian girl who actually Ronald does not know for sure his identity. Despite objections to Duke Xander's actions, Ronald nodded his head.

"Good Duke !"

"You can get out." Duke Xander allowed it with a hand gesture.

Ronald immediately left the room and rushed to announce to the guards the new order that was put down by the superior. Ronald's face was holding something back. Yep. The man felt very sorry for the fate of his young master. Growing up without a mother and never being able to do anything she wanted really made Ronald feel compassion. How could a prince who grew abundant in luxury have a life as miserable as that ?

But what power can Ronald do ? He was only a worker in the big mansion. He had no right whatsoever to interfere in the family affairs of his superiors. It was clearly contrary to the ethics of him who only titled the butler.

Ronald let out a heavy sigh and immediately turned to head back. However, the man gasped as he found his Young Master already standing not far from him.

"Young Master !" Ronald bowed, greeting while bowing his gaze.

"I want out. Please don't tell Daddy." Said Leon as he stepped past Ronald.

"Sorry, Young Master ! Duke told me you're not going anywhere." Ronald blocks Leon with his hand.

"Get your hands off, Ronald !" Leon snarled with clenched hands. His brown bead gave a very dislike look towards Ronald who could only bow down.

"Once again sorry. This is already an absolute order from the Duke."

Leon doesn't care about Ronald. It was on the brute of Ronald's hand that stood in his way. The man remained confidently stepping about to pass through the mansion's huge door.

"Don't let the Young Master step over that door." Ronald exclaimed out loud which was immediately responded quickly by several guards who were there.

"What do you want ?" Leon grew furious as two of the 5 bodyguards approached him. Holding both sides of his arms and not letting Leon's rebellion come to fruition.

"Ronald ! Tell them to let me go !" Pinta Leon on the butler of the mansion who currently only put on a flat face. Just like someone Leon knew.

Ignoring Leon's request, Ronald gives the code by nodding his head to the bodyguards to force Leon back into his room. The brunette-haired young man of course put up a fight but did not make the slightest satisfactory impact.

"Take me off ! Ronald, how dare you act like this to me !" Leon shouted furiously as he passed Ronald while being dragged to get back into his room.

"The lock of the young master's room from the outside ! Don't let him run away." Ronald exclaimed to remind the guards who were nodding their heads back.

Leon arrives in the room and is pushed violently by the guards to get inside. Afterwards, the bodyguards did exactly what Ronald told them to do. Lock Leon's room door and let the young man be locked up alone in there.

"Open !" Shouted Leon while banging on the door of the room but not in anyone's room. As loud as his voice screamed, everyone ignored him.

The brunette-haired young man walked towards the edge of the bed. Throwing his buttocks violently up there with a hand that rubbed his face violently. How is this ? He has a promise with Arumi to go to DisneyLand again. Unfortunately, that plan is unlikely to materialize.

//Where are you ? I'm done working.//

Leon let out a heavy sigh as he read the contents of the message. His face looked gloomy and so pitiful. What should he say to Arumi ? Does he have to be honest that his heartless father is locking him up ? No no no no. Leon shakes. That's not a good option.

After a long time observing the attitude of the girl, Leon was able to conclude that Arumi was a very gentle and kind girl. The girl is also sensitive and easily touched by small things. And if she was honest, then Arumi would definitely blame her for this matter. Leon doesn't want that. Because after all, Leon is the most responsible in this matter. Arumi is completely innocent.

"I still have a lot of work. Sorry ! Looks like today we can't go."

Leon closed his eyes after sending the message. The guilt of lying stabbed him mercilessly. Imagining how the look on Arumi's face that was disappointed when reading a reply from him gave Leon deep regret. How not ? She knew that she loved Disneyland. And when Leon said he would take her there again, Arumi jumped up happily.

//What's wrong. Just continue with your work. We can go sometime.//

"Are you not angry ?"

//No. I understand if you're very busy. Besides, if we don't leave, Charlie will be happy. He's taking me away tonight, too.//

"All right ! Go with Charlie. Have fun Honey !"

//You too. Don't get tired and don't forget to eat. You need to stay healthy and not get sick.//

Replies from his favorite Asian girl make Leon's heart more melos. Look ! How understanding the girl he chose as a place to tether his heart. But unfortunately, that understanding is not a condition attached to Duke Xander to be Leon's companion in the future.

His father chose an escort based on the background of the woman's family. If it were just ordinary people, no matter how good he was, it would never be in Duke Xander's consideration. Not now, not later.

"Did Leon want to go ?" Duke Xander wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and asked without looking at Ronald who was standing behind him. The man just finished eating.

"Yes Duke !" Ronald answered while nodding his head.

"What then did you do ?"

"I asked the bodyguards to drag the Young Master into the room and lock him up."

"Is the boy fighting back ?" Duke Xander's head turned slightly. He seemed a little interested in Ronald's words.

"Yes Duke. Young Master had a chance to fight."

Duke Xander was silent for a moment. Sipped his water back in the glass and stood up after spending his dinner alone at the huge dining table. Only Ronald accompanied without a single family member. So silent.

"Give him some food ! And say ! Have him cut ties with the Asian girl before I lose my temper."

"Good Duke." Ronald returned obediently. This was all he could do inside this mansion. Nodding and nodding.

After Duke Xander left the dining table, Ronald could only sigh. He knows why Duke Xander hated Leon's lover. However, Ronald still could not understand the way Duke Xander thought. Why did he hate the girl who actually had nothing wrong at all ? Duke Xander knew that she had nothing to do with someone in her past. Someone who turned his warm personality into this cold.
