When he said this, Cedron’s heart was ready to tear his face off.
But-
He had to get back to Mordecai today, no matter what it took.
“Yes.” Countess spoke up.
Cedron replied, “Countess, no matter what you want and what kind of conditions you open, I can accept it, but Mordecai must …”
“You don’t have to say anymore, I said I agree and you can take Mordecai.” Countess interrupted Cedron.
For a moment, Cedron couldn’t look back.
With such ease, Countess agreed?
“I can also see that you guys are really devoted to Mordecai, since that’s the case, it would be too unfair for you if I’m still dead set on keeping Mordecai, you guys take Mordecai away, I agree.”
Cedron’s heart dropped back into his stomach.
He stood up, ready to thank Countess.
That’s when Countess suddenly changed her tone, “Not now, though.”
Snap!
Bruno, who was separated by a long distance, still heard the content clearly and was furious enough, “What do you guys mean, you clearly agreed just now, now you’re ready to back out, right?”
Countess handed Mizuki a look.
Mizuki immediately understood, got up and walked to Bruno, her voice petite, “Don’t be so fierce, since Countess said it, she will definitely do it, if you are so rude, even if I like you more, I can only throw you out of the castle first.”
“Bruno,” Cedron shook his head slightly towards Bruno and looked at Countess again, “You’re going to make a condition aren’t you, as long as I can do it, I’ll agree, just say it.”
Countess cleared her throat, “What about Mordecai, you can take him, but right now he’s injured and needs to recuperate, I’d like to ask you to stay here until Mordecai is well enough to take him away.”
After a pause he added, “Of course, if you can accompany me to meet the Count before you leave, that would be even better.”
Is that all?
Cedron and Bruno both felt that it wasn’t that simple.
“Mordecai’s condition, I can find someone to cure it, I know very powerful doctors in Reliacao, and also have a medical institute in Reliacao.” Cedron said.
“No, Mordecai must stay here.” Countess immediately refused.
See, there really was a problem.
“Countess,” Cedron spoke up, “let’s all just be direct about what you really want, it’s no fun for anyone to go around in circles like this.”
“… Okay, Mizuki,” Countess shouted again.
Mizuki’s eyes rested on Bruno, “Come on Mr. Newman, I’ll show you around the castle, you’re going to be staying here for a while afterward anyway, you have to familiarize yourself, right?”
Bruno was reluctant, “Who said I was staying here.”
“Why are you so naive and cute, of course it’s just talk, can’t you see that Countess wants to talk to Mr. Navarro alone?” Mizuki said with a smirk.
Not forgetting to raise her hand and touch Bruno’s cheek, “I like you even more, what should I do?”
“Cool!” Bruno spat and started to walk out the door.
He wanted to see what shocking secret Countess would tell and not let anyone else be present!
Walking out of the dining room with Mizuki, she did start showing Bruno around the castle.
Bruno, however, sat down on his butt in the garden, “I don’t feel like wandering and I don’t want to go too far from the dining room, so let’s just sit here for a while.”
