The Second Lady of The Black Dragon

Trust him enough?

I bet the first choice is "What is your reason possessing Evalina's body?". You should ask him later, ya know?

Quiet. Now, should I tell him the whole truth or lie?

The whole truth. The fact that he found out almost exactly your plan, I see there's no point lying to him.

Yeah, guess you're right. FOR ONCE!

Hey!

I look around the room, just want to make sure there really no one. But, I'm sure there really no one. Just some dumb action, I know.

"There's no one here besides us." says The Young Duke. Probably he saw my eyes moving around as if looking for something but he understood it very well.

Still, I don't want to tell anything here.
Not sure why. Maybe because I don't and can't trust this human in front of me.

"Where do you feel safe to tell your goal? We shall talk there."

..He understands my 'can't trust him' and respects it.

"What if I say my 'safe place' is Benian Houdehold? You want to go there?" teases me but still with the personality I showed him earlier.

"We shall go there then."

Yeah... A very expected answer.

"Follow me." says me, turns around and walks to the door. The Young Duke got up from his seat and make his way to the door.

After opened the door, I look around to see if there are any anyone in this floor. Very sure there's no one, I make my way to upstairs, followed by The Young Duke, and finally to Lady Evalina's favourite place, The Attic. Good thing there's no maid, no servant, no one were in our way.

We finally at The Attic. I arranges the scattered books back to the bookshelves, wanting to make The Young Duke comfortable. Meanwhile, The Young Duke just looking at the real swords that is hanging. I never went near that area, what if the swords suddenly fall?

While looking at the swords, The Young Duke suddenly says,
"It was a perfect timing, truly."
then turn himself facing me.

Understood what he meant, I replies with,
"Yeah, I learnt a few days ago when's the maids and servants having their lunch. That's why it's only around this time I stood there at your door. And The Third Lady too won't be here as she still in her room for a few days. Basically, only three of us are in The West Building around this time."

Suddenly a silent.

"..You are smart. Just a little slow to realise the consequences of your actions." says The Young Duke, breaking the silence he made.

I changes my expression to a not sincere smile.

Thank you for the compliment and don't need to remind me that.

He makes his way towards me and just stared blankly at me. Not sur- oh right! Realising my mistake, I takes out the carpet I hid so we can sit on it.

"I apologise. Here, you shall take a seat here." says me with an apologetic tone.

The Young Duke sits on the carpet right after I said that. Then, I sits down too but a little further than The Young Duke.

As I sat down, The Young Duke doesn't show it or even have the aura or whatever of uncomfortable but I feel like he is feeling uncomfortable, currently.

"I apologise if this place is making you uncomfortable, there just no other place that is safe to me other than here." says me with apologetic tone.

"It doesn't bother me. Just continue with why we are here. Your goal if you've forgotten." replies The Young Duke.
