Chapter 14 : A plan to capture the bunny
___________________________________________

After the disastrous ball, Ark had shut them all off, not one of them were spared.

Lucius and Alessio tried to talk to Ark but Ark quickly bolted before they can even say something, even by jumping through a window almost giving them a heart attack.

Noelle also have no luck as the moment he appeared Ark quickly back-pedaled or even hide away from him

Helios was worst as the moment he announced his visitation to Ark, not only that Ark hides away but Lucius and Alessio also won't grant him entry.

But when he was able to sneak in, he can't even see his little bunny as Ark had retreat in his burrow.

Right now, These men had called a meeting in the Decroix estate while Ark went to go take a stroll in the kingdom plaza with his maid Alya.

Their face was sullen and the atmosphere in the room was tense, the servants was even slightly trembling, scared that a fight will break out.

Everyone knew none of the men wanted to be around each other and they were even disgusted just seeing each of their faces.

Lucius was the first to break the silence as he cleared his throat, "We need to talk about how to stop Ark from leaving."

The room went silent for a bit as the thought of Ark leaving was forbidden.

Of course it was forbidden, he belong here with them and nowhere else.

Helios was the first to snapped out of it as he rub his temple, "and what do you suggest us to do? We can't just force him to stay, I don't want my bunny to avoid me more."

Noelle was the second one to suggest, "how about talking to him about how bad his life would be outside of the kingdom? that might make him hesitant to leave."

Alessio then glared at Noelle, "how would we be able to talk to him when we can't even say anything to him without him running off?"

Noelle bit his lip, he knows that if they keep pushing Ark, he would really avoid them like the plague.

Noelle then asked hesitantly, "then, what should we do? We can't just let him leave and we can't push him more."

This silenced the four men again, they were running out of ideas and is now frustrated.

The door then opened as Xavier entered, he look as tired as them as well.

Ark had ignored him just like the rest of them, even hiring a new butler to assist him.

This hurt Xavier as he tried everything to keep in touch with his young master.

Lucius look at Xavier coldly, "is there a problem Xavier?"

Xavier just bowed down in respect before answering, "none M'lord, I just wanted to give an idea to make the Young Master stay"

This quickly intrigued the men in room, Helios was the first to question, "oh? Then how do you suggest it butler?"

"How about staging a accident on the day the Young Master would leave and one of you would rescue him, in that way the Young Master would be too scared to leave again."

Silenced filled the room but their thoughts were slowly accepting the idea as it festered and grow in their mind.

"That....might work but wouldn't it be harmful to Ark? He might get hurt in between." Noelle was worried, although this was a great plan, there might be some backlash to it.
