Keira was tired of looking at all their faces. He then decided that it was too much and retreated to his room to take a peaceful nap 'again'.

Time skip~~

"YOUNG MASTER!!"

*Sigh "What is it now, Lily?"

"The duke asked for your presence!"

What the fuck does that so-called father of mine want now?

"Can I refuse?"

"Young master?! You can't! In the past, you were so exci-"

Keira cut her off.

*Cold voice "Just because I was like that in the past doesn't mean I am still the same, Lily."

Lily was speechless and couldn't utter a word.

"Lead the way, Lily. I'll meet him now." *Still in a cold voice

"Yes....young master."

At the duke's study~~

Keira knocked at the door and heard a 'come in'.

*Cold voice "You asked for me, your grace?"

Claude was surprised at his cold voice but started talking nevertheless.

"There is a ball tomorrow at the royal palace. Get ready. We'll depart in the morning."

"Got it, your grace. Anything else?"

"No....."

"Then I will take my leave now."

Keira looked at Claude with cold emotionless eyes before leaving with Lily. Claude was surprised to see that look in his son's eyes who was known to love him dearly. He doesn't even call him father now.

After coming out of the duke's study room, Keira simply told Lily to do other things.

Lily bowed and went away knowing that he wanted to be alone rn.

"Ugh! Sometimes I just want to kill myself!"

"My my! That's not so well thought!"

"My my! That's not so well thought!"

"Who the fuck are you now?"

Not like I care. He doesn't even exist in the novel.

"Let me guess......"

The stranger boy made a thinking face and slowly smirked.

"Hmm....Maybe your future husband?" (Saki: The f? I didn't mean to make it sound like cringe but I realized this while editing)

Keira looked at him with a 'what the fuck' look. (Saki: I had the same reaction pal)

The stranger boy chuckled and said,
