I stood there watching as the ladies scurried away and then speaking nasty words about me to the other ladies.
I won't deny that I didn't dislike them talking shit about me but if any girl is going to believe such words out of divorced jaguars then they are beneath me.
Shaking my head at that, I look next to me and see Arthur giving me a deep look.
"…I believe that you are worthy to be my brother." He said and tried to hug me.
"Fuck off." I shook him away and he had a hurt look.
"Not even one hug for your estranged brother." Yeah, he was definitely having fun with me, it is one of his active traits.
"Find me a girl to hug and I will think about that offer."
"Deal" He said and looked at the crowd of ladies that were spurring lies. Then he slowly turned to me, "I'm going to take a breather on that one… a long breather." He said jokingly before turning half serious, "though thank you for helping me, it cost you far more to help me than it should have."
"No worries, I could at least do this much for a friend." I said, hiding my true intentions.
'Lost more than gained… dude you don't know even what kind of package deal you are, fortunately I do.'
"So when are you going to show me the daughter?"
"The Daughter, The Viscount's daughter, you know the one you said you had an in wit-"
Arthur stopped me, "Don't say all of that out loud, she has a lot of girl friends that might report back to her."
Looking around again, I see many young and old ladies murmuring among themselves, spreading informations. I don't know how they can just give information like that when we men seldom try nothing but to keep it… it's a very dangerous tool in their hands.
"Alright… you want to meet her, you say." Arthur smiled patting his clothes out of the other women's scents and lipsticks, "Then follow me."
I followed him and as we walked, it only gained more and more peoples attentions towards us. So much so that Arthur asked, "Why are so many people suddenly giving me such looks?"
"…Yeah… it probably might be because of me."
"Why would it be because of you-… why did you bring that thing over here." He said while his brows cracked.
I rub the back side of the sheathe, "You know…"
"No I seriously don't… nobody does, that's why their looking at us."
"What if suddenly some party of bad people attacks us?" I decided to spring it out.
"… I don't think that they'll dread seeing a large black block standing in their way."
Before long we reached towards the main stage where girls were smiling and talking amongst each other. These girls were a bit different. They were of higher rank in nobility and grace than those girls that spotted Arthur.
When they saw us arriving… or actually Arthur, they didn't give chase to him. They smoothly emptied a path that would lead to one girl. This girl was at the center of the room. I meant literally.
She maybe at the center of the room and but its the people that gave so much attention to her that she became the center, the queen.
This girl who was talking to another girl, looked at the place her friend pointed to and she immediately brightened up, "Arthur!"
She came running straight to him and went for a hug.
I take a thorough scan of her, 5.2 Height, D cup jugs, Beautiful Blonde Hair, Enigmatic Blue eyes and a dress that every guy no matter of age wants to rip apart.
Yep, definitely a heroine.
"Of course I would, didn't I say that already."
"You did… but you always get distracted by a lot of… distractions." She said looking at a certain group that broke apart.
"Ahahaha… Haah, Oh! Speaking of such distractions," He showed me, "I want you to meet my new friend who actually helped me out in that regard just now."
"Henry meet Elisabeth and Elisabeth meet Henry." Arthur introduced both of us.
I take her right hand and give a small kiss in greeting, "Enchante, Madam."
She smiled, not in the least bit disgusted or horrified being kissed by a man of my stature, "Thank you, it's nice to meet you."
"And it's a great pleasure to meet you. If I've known Arthur was keeping such a beauty hidden away from us, I would have just left him there and spent time with you myself."
"Hehe…" She giggled in happiness and smiled, "It's fine, we still have a lot of time today, you and I can still get more acquainted later on."
"Oh… I definitely will."
Arthur deadpanned seeing me flirting with her right in front of him, "Dude stop doing that I know you're just trying to make me jealous." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIꜰire.net
"I'm not trying to mak-… I am trying to make you jealous," I smiled deviously, "And because of that I need to spend more time with Elisabeth…" Arthur didn't know why but that explanation had a lot of holes.
"Ms. Elisabeth Harley, Henry Van Tax." I thought for a moment, "Hmm… Tax does seems to fit with Elisabeth, don't you think?"
"Hahaha" Elisabeth had to stop herself from laughing anymore. She never met someone that had joked with her like that while also deliberately flirted with her, especially in front of Arthur.
She loved him deeply, very much so. But never had fun , so she didn't try to stop it.
But Arthur standing beside us, definitely wasn't having a good time. He was standing there with a dark face as he thought, 'Is it me… or is my new friend trying to cuck me?'
He wasn't the only one that had bad thoughts looking at us. There was one girl, who was standing quite far away from us, staring with the same look as Arthur.
'Why is she smiling so much at each of his words… and why does it seem like he is flirting with her?'
"You never talked with me like that, Henry."
