A ball rolls around the room before Edgar could catch it.

He might be laughing, but there's no sound. Instead, he just stays down on the carpet in the Oval Office, muted, while holding onto his stomach.

Charles, who has been watching the whole time, finally says. "Do you want die?"

"No, your grace."

"Get up."

Charles then presses a hand on his temples.

"Yes."

He then stands up with back straightens immediately, but it is his tactless mouth that causes more damages than his actions because it keeps getting on Charles' nerves. If Charles' angry, he'd have to hold back his laughter even if it tears him apart.

"You make it so obvious that you've never been in a relationship."

Those nasty words of Edward.

"..."

But Charles couldn't say anything about Edgar's arrogance because he has had the most experience with the ladies between the three of them

People who doesn't know would expect Charles to have the most experience with love.

Though he has received a lot of confessions, he has never been in a relationship or liked a woman.

When it comes to dating in Lapel Castle, he's is the weakest among the three. Since he was not interested in women in the first place, he couldn't understand why he has to win a woman's heart.

If you're in a relationship, you have to get married. Since I wasn't in one, it was not my fate marry someone I had a relationship with.

To me, love itself is an illusion and a disease anyway, so I must not put my heart into love.

To be even more frank, I was annoyed while growing up at the flood of women's interest and confessions.

Therefore, I never had the idea of winning a woman's heart in my whole life until I was told that my wife wanted a divorce.

I thought I should do something, but the problem is that I don't know what to do.

When I thought about it, I keep laughing because I feel pathetic thinking about myself. In this situation, Edgar tells me something even more humiliating.

"Do you want to use your face?"

I never thought I'd hear such words.

"I mean, love isn't everything. You should make the best use of the resources you have, sir."

"Ahem."

Ledin narrows his forehead at the unbecoming words of Edgar, who pretends not to notice.

"Don't give his grace advice when you haven't met a woman once."

"..."

Edgar then jabs Ledin, blocking him from speaking. Ledin immediately yelps and stands up straight.

"Alright."

Edgar smiles at the sight, pulls on his jacket and looks over at Charles.

"Women are attracted to me because I speak nicely, beautifully and understands their mind rather than handsome men. Of course their eyes go to a handsome man first," he says with a hum. "But it's only during the first meeting."

Edgar almost starts another speech with his finger held up until he's interrupted.

"Curtis."

Charles turns his head away. Maybe he should have listen to Edgar from the start.
