The hidden target in an otome game

Chapter 3

Quick update, I'm adding () for your thoughts and I plan to end the trapped part of the story soon. Also, I forgot to give you some information about the brothers so here.
The brothers names are Noah and Jack. And the oldest brother,Jack, is 19 and the second oldest brother, Noah, is 17.
If you have any better names please tell me I just pulled this off the internet😭😭

"Finished already? That was fast." The old says. You look at him "No it is just I don't want to finish it so I will have something to do later"
"And you just keep looking at me and I'm so annoyed with it 😑" you think to yourself

The man nods in understanding, a hint of surprise in his expression. He seems almost impressed by your foresight.

"Ah, slowing your pace to savor the story, huh? Smart. Looks like you're not just a pretty face, hm?"

"Nope!" you give him a cute grin

The man is once again taken aback by your antics. He can't help but falter for a moment, his usual suave demeanor slipping as he meets your cute grin with a slightly flustered expression and an amused huff.

"Ah, cheeky little thing, aren't you? You're full of surprises." Say said mostly composed

(Now I can confirm he is just an over powered softy)"By the way did you get any new about my brothers?"

The man's expression darkens slightly at your question.

"Your brothers... I have been keeping an ear out for any news. But I regret to inform you that I haven't heard anything so far."

The man, who has been lost in thought, snaps back to attention when you respond. His eyes fix on you for a moment, a hint of curiosity in their gaze.

"So, no questions or anything? Not gonna ask me when I'll be letting you out of this room anytime soon?"

"To be honest I am very curious about that, so are you willing to answer that question then?" You asked with confidence, but still some hesitation

The man lets out a sly chuckle, amused by your straightforward question. He crosses his arms, leaning back on the edge of the bed.

"Ah, so you are curious. Well, I suppose I can indulge your curiosity a bit. It's not like you have anywhere else to go, hm?" He said a bit sly.

"Very well, I'll give you an answer, but only a partial one. You see, I plan to keep you here in this room for quite some time, sweetheart. Just how long depends on... several factors."

(Head! Writing that down!) you reply in a sort of sneaky but seducing voice "then can you tell me those factors?"

The man smirks, his eyes flickering over your face as if he's contemplating how much to reveal to you.

"Ah, now you're trying to get me to expose my secrets, hm? Well, I suppose it can't hurt to satisfy your curiosity a bit. The factors that will determine how long I keep you here are... your behavior, my patience, and a few other, shall we say, 'external circumstances' that are out of my control. That enough for you?"

(sigh, NoOoOooo😭😭) "Sure that should be enough for now" you give him a smile, despite the war going on in your head. Thank god you had a talent for acting'

His expression turning amused once again. "Oh, still feisty as ever, hm? You really are a curious one. Most people in your situation would be begging for mercy or information right now, but here you are, still playing coy and giving me that cute little smirk of yours."

You get shocked from being called cute "why are you calling me cute like am a child!!" you stand up and with annoyance on your face
*Akko's spirit animal is most definitely a cat😑*
