This is obviously bad. Really bad. Ever since Eve remembered yesterday's incident, shortly Declan appeared from behind the door calling him in an indifferent tone for breakfast with the other Lumiere family members and the princes of the —Crown prince and Prince Clainton— but afterwards, after that, her brother was cold even reluctantly admitting Eve's whereabouts beside him. Eve spoke, Declan did not respond. It's like talking to a mannequin. Eve smiles triumphantly when Beckett intends to take her back home in a car, but Declan again forbids her stepbrother with Eve. Then invite his most beautiful sister to come home together.
When the palace doors were opened, the Lumiere horse-drawn carriage line was ready at the bottom of the stairs. They had already said goodbye to the palace owner, but the king felt lost when his new nephew, his most beloved, would return home so soon.
"My Lord!"
Declan turned his head and at once his flat face was replaced with an annoyed look. "What do you need, General Nicholas?"
"Good morning, Lady Luvena." General Nicholas smiled broadly as he looked at Eve whom Declan had secured directly behind his back. "I just want to deliver your return. Not more."
"I know what you mean, Mr. General." Declan pinched, "Never once thought that I would let you get close to my sister."
"The problem of school, do not take revenge until now." The general laughed. "If I had known before that you had a beautiful little sister, I wouldn't have made you my nemesis, My Lord."
"You used to be hostile? Wow, how's the story. I want to hear!"
"Of course I'll tell you. But since you guys already want to go home, what if I just visit your castle? It'll be more fun."
Declan looked at him flatly. Mode!
Declan looked towards his sister. "Eve, come in first."
Eve clucked. Though he really wanted to watch the commotion on this sunny morning. Finally he shook his head, "Let me here."
"We want to talk about something important about Lumiere's family." Declan stared intently at Nicholas, emphasizing his surname so that the general knew himself and did not interfere. "Two." Press it again while glancing at his sister. "I have no interest in bringing anyone with us. So excuse me."
Eve waved as Declan pulled her gently and put herself in the carriage. Afterwards Declan entered the same train and left the palace.
Staring at the increasingly distant chariot, General Nicholas smiled full of mystery. "Prince Julius' bride-to-be may be."
...----------------...
"I promised Beckett I'd go home together, but I'm finally back here." Eve notices Declan who looks busy with some parchment in her hand. It looks not disturbed at all even though several times the car wheels hit a large hole in the middle of the road. "There must be a reason, right. Just say it."
"About that Viscount Aslein." Declan tidied up his work. Talking sensitive things like this is indeed better to talk about outside the castle. There are too many ears there. "When did you meet him? Until he dared to approach mom, did he not know if the person he wanted was duchess Lumiere?"
Eve shrugged both shoulders. "When Viscount Aslein proposed, mama was not accompanied by anyone. That night, incidentally when my mom told Aunt Sese, I eavesdropped on—" The girl blinked, then threw a wailing smile, "I mean listening silently."
"Then what?"
"You know for yourself, right. How was Viscount Aslein's reputation in the public eye? The concubine was twenty. Imagine, twenty! How could you possibly want to be twenty-first!" Eve told me excitedly. "Indeed people are so shameless. Just holding the title of viscount alone had dared to act crazy. What if he was already king? Ck, maybe all the women in Sasania will be made into mistresses."
Declan nodded briefly. "I'll give the viscount a little lesson."
No. gabe. He should not be afraid because he is the next duke. Eve was sure of that.
"In addition to Viscount Aslein, there are a few more people who need to be taught a lesson."
Eve looked up, her blue eyes moving cautiously. "Who?"
"Ethan, Becket ..." his gaze returned piercing. "And so are you, sister." Eve gulped her hard-earned saliva. "I'll make sure you get the reward for what you've done in the palace. Furthermore, His Grace should also know about this."
"I was just following General Nicholas' wishes, not intending to get drunk at all." The girl scuttered, while sneering softly in the form of muttering. "I can't believe it turns out you can be this cruel to your own sister."
"Eat him, do not easily follow the will of others. He might want to use you. Learn from this mistake," replied Declan again, "now say. What was your last wish before I got to law."
"Please put a wreath over my grave later. That's it, "he replied. After all, Declan would not have possibly dared to hurt him.
Unexpectedly, Declan nodded instead. "Yes already. Now we're gonna buy the flowers."
Eve who was initially closed suddenly sat down and glared at horror. Did Declan seriously want to kill him just for getting drunk once? Note, one time!
"K-sister.." Eve's great-grandson was horrified. "You're not serious about what you say, are you?"
Declan poked his head out the window. "At the crossroads before the castle there was a flower shop. We stop there for a minute." Declan sat back as calm as before when he got a nod from the coachman who delivered them. "Do I look like I'm messing around?"
Eve doesn't believe she has the brother of a crazy psychopath!
"Mom will kill you if you know what you're going to do to me" Eve warned. Even so, his gaze did not escape from Declan at all. Afraid that his brother would kill him right now. The streets were quiet and the bodyguards brought in were not much.
Dear God, please give Declan a few more years to deal with. He is not ready. In terms of martial arts, it was clear they were no match for one.
"I thought you weren't afraid to die, Eve." Declan tried to hide his almost exploding laughter. Eve's horrifying face now greatly comforted her. No-no, he almost never even had such a clear expression.
"Life is only given once, how can I mess around!" sergeant Eve loud. "If you dare kill me, I will ...."
"What will?" challenge Declan.
"Will ... beat yourself up every day!"
"Oh yeah?" the young man raised his eyebrows. "alright. I'll wait for your spirit's arrival at Lumiere Castle. Every visit, make sure you bring something for me, okay?"
Eve belied. This person in front of him was heartless!
