Suddenly Nobles

The Aslein Nobles Family

"Your Grace, the Asleins are here."

Baron O'Neil's call interrupted Eve and the duke's conversation. Zachary, the man nodded slightly. "Let them in." His eyes turned to his daughter. "You, stand beside me."

"B-standing?!"

"You said you'd follow my request, right?"

Eve's smile expands. With vigor, he crunched forward. "That means you agreed to my request, Your Grace? Really, really?!"

"No."

I don't know why Eve's palms are itchy. The girl was eager to throw something towards the duke. Like an urn or a stone, perhaps? Ah, by the way this Zachary has also never felt Eve's deadly slingshot dart in her ass. Next time, Eve has to do it so she doesn't speak as she pleases.

"I'll consider if you can be nice to me."

Eve'S wide-eyed, "Y-YES, OF COURSE I CAN BE SWEET TO YOU, YOUR GRACE!"

Zachary. No-no, the intention of being kind that he hopes for is like not making trouble, always obeying, and ..well, acting like a lady. That's it, there are no sweet frills especially if you follow it anywhere.

But before Zachary could make his point, the door was opened. This time, four people were standing at the door. The one adult man Eve thought she was Viscount Aslein, next to her stood a woman in a violet dress that almost fused with the color of her hair, and also the two young girls behind them were now staring in awe at the luxurious and comfortable interior of Lumiere's living room.

Eve hurriedly stood beside Zachary. After tidying up her slightly wrinkled dress, Eve switched to patting Zachary's chest, intending to clean up the dust that there might be some that stick even though in fact there is no visible speck of stain there.

"Eve, what are you doing?" muttered Zachary annoyed.

"Just make sure you're always handsome and clean, Your Grace," Eve replied, smiling sweetly. Look, in an instant his attitude turned into a spoiled cat.

All four of their guests who heard Eve's ambiguous reply were naturally shocked. The relationship between Zachary and the foreign girl beside him became a big question mark in their minds. Could it....

"Why are you still standing there?"

"E-uh?" Viscount Aslein stuttered then quickly walked forward followed by Viscountess and her two daughters to pay their respects. Although in terms of age he was older, but the Duke of Lumiere was still a powerful person who was far above him.

"Good morning, Duke of Lumiere. I'm honored that you would accept the presence of the Aslein Family within your super luxurious castle, "he said smoothly. He shifted, giving his wife enough room next to him. "She is my wife, Viscountess Elizabeth. And they were both—" Viscount Aslein who had Demian's real name pointed to the two girls behind him. "It's my beautiful and graceful daughter. Makes me really wish that one of them was lucky and could be one of the Lumiere family members."

"Sincerely yours, Your Grace." The three women simultaneously raised the end of the dress and lowered their heads.

Another case of Eve, the girl with all her strength held herself to stay standing upright. Though they had just come, but drowsiness immediately attacked Eve mercilessly to the point that her eyes were watery and heavy. Eve wants to leave as soon as possible, clutching her cushion tightly and flying in the dreamland.

But from the beginning of the arrival until now, the sharp gazes of the two Aslein princesses were still not separated from Eve's figure. I don't know what his mistake was, Eve didn't know and didn't care either. What was clear now was that all he needed was a mattress and a breeze like in the Northern garden. Ah, he has an idea. Tomorrow Eve promised to try to take a nap there.

"Regarding the incident the other day, I've heard the detailed story directly from my daughter. Wishing you as the head of the Lumiere family could have acted wisely," Viscount Aslein said, "the obvious mistake lies with Lady Jeniffer Aslein, my daughter for having dared to offend Lord Lumiero's lover. For that, we came here and atoned for the sin and apologized profusely to you."

Zachary frowned, "Lord Lumiero's love?"

"Wait, Your Grace." Eve tried to smile sweetly. Enough is enough, his eyes almost closed if this visit is still continued for the next five minutes. Eve thought, the root of the problem is on her. Therefore, his practical brain said if he forgave the Aslein now, maybe he could escape from the living room faster and not rambling. He looked at his four guests. "I've forgiven you. Actually there is no need to bother coming here, tomorrow also Declan will forgive you and continue the cooperation that was previously destroyed."

They were again astonished because Eve easily mentioned the familiar name of Lord Lumiero without any fear at all. But knowing the Duke of Lumiere had absolutely no objection to the name Eve had just uttered, it was clearly more shocking. Anyone knows, the duke highly upholds the values of respect for the nobles. He should have ..it is impossible to allow this!

"You want to go?" Zachary who has memorized Eve's movements said it on target. In return, Eve grimaced.

Zachary sighed. Really do...

"Go," the duke broke up afterwards. Eve's smile broke, while Aslein's guests were again flabbergasted. What's the matter? According to the features that Jeniffer Aslein once told, isn't that woman Declan's lover? Then why did he also tease the Duke of Lumiere? What kind of complicated relationship is this?!

Meanwhile, Viscountess Elizabeth Aslein smiled faintly. If this news were to spread, maybe the Lumiere Family would be the subject of blasphemy. At least their prestige would be reduced, so the Aslein Family did not have to be hard-earned to beg like now.

"Duke handsome is indeed the best!" A handsome? Indeed, Zachary still looks handsome at his age who is no longer young, so Eve does not lie. With a carefree step, he walked out of the living room. Feeling happy. It seems like trying to be a sweet princess is not bad. "Bye bye~"

Zachary looked back at the Aslein Family after the door closed again. "So, what else do you need?"

"Em .. that, regarding the cooperation of the distribution of raw materials from the port to the market ...."

"I haven't decided which noble is suitable to get a position there," Zachary cut without further ado. "Because other than your Aslein Family, there are still many other noble families that I would rather trust to carry such a large responsibility." The duke raised his head, notifying the difference in their degrees without a word. "I know better what I'm doing. If you beg me once more, don't blame the punishment Lord Lumiero has given Aslein forever."

"Well, I understand!" Viscount Aslein nodded quickly.

"It's good if you know the place." After that Zachary was busy checking his files one by one. He did not care about the four people sitting in front of him. Under the impression that the duke was busy, Viscount Aslein immediately stood up followed by his wife and two daughters.

"I'm sorry if our arrival has wasted your precious time, Duke of Lumiere. Then, excuse me."

Without a word, Zachary nodded. Even looking at him, the man was reluctant.

"Come on," Viscount Aslein told his family and walked out of the room feeling calm. At least the cooperation between Aslein and Lumiere did not break. Already, that's enough.

"I'm sure that's the woman I met that night. He was with Lord Lumiero looking friendly" Jeniffer said confusedly. "But ... how could he also be close to the Duke of Lumiere?!"

"Does the duke and his son have the same taste?" Viscountess's eyes flashed with excitement. The gossiping soul of the woman was already burning if she was not currently in Lumiere castle. He let down the voice, "you have to find out!"

"of course. In order for the story to be more convincing, there must be a lot of clear evidence" said Syann, Aslein's second daughter who has a purple mane. "Wait for what else? We'll stay here for a while, while you guys just go home. Wait for news from us."

"Are you sure you want to know about this?" The viscount wanted to tell her about her objections. However the Viscountess quickly interrupted.

"Of course sure. Lumiere is hardly ever involved in a scandal. It's time to show the world that they're not as perfect as they look!" He looks enthusiastic. The viscountess looked back at her two daughters. "Mom will go home and try to spread this secret as soon as possible. It was so fast that Lumiere couldn't stop him. You guys are fine, don't make a single person suspicious, okay?"

Jeniffer and Syann nodded, "We understand, Mom."

"good. Husband, let's go home, "viscountess Elizabeth took her husband's hand and went home proud to find Lumiere's weakness.

Without knowing who and what position Eve in the family.
