Chapter 017

It was the servant who opened the door and came in. The servant smiled kindly and said.

"Young Master, a friend is here."

"Again?"

Adrian's forehead was wrinkled. You came yesterday and came again?

Violet said she couldn't make it today.

Then, is it...

'No, you can't come today because you're so busy.' Then who is it?

Even though he was still young, the Crown was not in a position where he could easily find time.

He said he only had time yesterday because his education was full every day.

That's why Adrian and Violet would usually go to Imperial Palace to meet Zerkan in person.

'But why am I so nervous?'

Adrian had few close friends except Violet and Zerkan.

Stomping.

At that time, they heard footsteps over the hallway, and a servant who was blocking the door stepped aside and someone appeared.

"....."

It was Zerkan who kept his promise to come and see Raphine.

Adrian clenched his fist without realizing it.

"Hi, Adrian."

"...Zerkan."

Zerkan was embarrassed to see Adrian glaring at him.

Why... Why are you making an expression of meeting an enemy?

"You didn't say you were coming today, did you?"

"Hmm, I forgot. But I promised to come with Raphine."

"What do you promise with whom?"

"I promised Raphine that I would come to see her."

A strange energy came and went in the eyes of Zerkan and Adrian.

Zerkan seemed puzzled by Adrian's reaction, and Adrian had some hostility.

It felt like seeing a shameless man trying to take away his younger sister.

While feeling a little betrayed by such a friend, Zerkan resisted the surge of playfulness of wanting to tease Adrian.

And Raphine was looking at Zerkan with her eyes shining brightly.

By the way...

'Why are you here?'

In fact, I tried to run as soon as I saw Zerkan, but I failed because Adrian didn't let go of his hand.

「Just say it hurts, baby.」
