"Young Duke."
"Did Canillian Vale agree to this?"
The look on Claude's eyes became cold. The officer awkwardly smile as he pick up the teacup.
"I gave him my contact, he's yet to answer. He haven't agreed to it yet."
"To make him dressed up as a woman... Who the hell came up with this idea? There's no skit."
"It'll hurt my pride to let go of the bait, but our top priority is to catch the culprit. Besides, Canillian Vale doesn't look much like a man."
"Just because he doesn't look like a man, you just decide to dress him up as a woman."
"May I ask what offended you so much?"
When asked directly by Brighton, Claude lowered his gaze and stared at his teacup. After a while, he raised his head while rubbing the the surface of the teacup with his finger.
"Canillian Vale is the second son of the Marquis. He's also my close friend's beloved brother. If even a strand of hair from that kid goes wrong, everyone will... You'll have to be prepared."
Brighton chuckled at the challenging words, and now is his turn to add excuses.
"Master, you have a guest."
The servant of the mansion approached and inform Brighton about the guest. However, it wasn't the right time to have any guest. Unless if the guest is a member of the Imperial family, he couldn't take precedence over the young Duke.
"Tell him to wait for a moment. Since my conversation with the young Duke hasn't finished yet."
"Well, he says it's urgent. The person you mentioned earlier is here."
"What?"
Brighton apologize to Claude before following the attendant. At the end of the hall, there's Canillian who seems to admire the portrait on the wall from the front door.
"Sir Canillian!"
Brighton called as he welcomed her. Lia turned around and smiled awkwardly. The officer smiled as he placed his outstretched arms to her shoulder.
"I've been waiting for you."
"I'm here to agree with your proposal."
"Oh, I knew it. Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Sure, since when...."
Lia was about to get to the point when she glanced over to a place she felt something familiar. Under the arch connected to the living room was Claude, standing with hands of his pockets.
Also, with a fierce look of anger.
"Ah....? Young Duke."
Lia gladly called him as they unexpected ly met, but he wasn't. Claude walks out, nods to Brighton, and then put his arm around the jacket that the servant had given him.
"I'll hear more about the details next time."
"Young Duke."
"I'll get going first, since my time here is almost finished."
He left the mansion glaring at her.
Lia was embarrassed by Claude's attitude towards her. Usually, the hands Brighton placed on her shoulder would have been removed. But today, she was treated like a complete stranger.
