Is he trying to cut ties with his only disciple?I was appalled by my fathers shocking words, unable to believe that he would ruin their precious relationship just because of .
Max looked indifferent as if he had expected this reaction from my father. Thats what I want as well, he said. After watching the two clash for a while, I beca confused.Why are they fighting all of a sudden? And to sever ties with each other completelyI was puzzled about what I should do because I hadnt expected this developnt.
At that mont, Max turned to . Lets go Jubelian, he said. It seed like he was fully imrsed with mastering the techniques of thod acting. When we reached the door, I beca conscious of what I was doing.No matter how I look at it, this situation is like an elopent, isnt it?Although an elopent sounded nice, my partner was a poor, holess man. My original plan was to show my father that we were in a relationship so he wouldnt marry
off to the crown prince. I thought it would work because he cared a lot about his disciple, but my father showed strong opposition against our relationship, effectively ruining my plans.
I need to stop him.Although I had thought about running away at one point, that was only for the worst case scenario. My ultimate goal was to inherit my fathers money and beco so rich that I wouldnt have to lift a finger. If I left with him like this, I wouldnt even be able to get my valuables and my father would only drag
back which was the last thing I wanted.
Hey, I
As I was trying to stop Max, soone interrupted . Stop.
I flinched upon hearing the cold voice, which sounded like it was warning us.Oh, hes probably angry,I thought to myself.
At that mont, I heard my fathers stern voice again. I said stop, he said. If we didnt listen to him this ti, I had a feeling that I would beco my fathers enemy as well.
Max, wait a minute
I attempted to stop Max again, but he spoke over . Dont order
around, he said callously.
I hardened my expression.Wait, this isnt right.No matter how grim our relationship was, he was still my father. It wasnt pleasant to have soone be so rude to him. I looked back at my father, who looked exasperated despite his icy eyes.Ill be in trouble if I dont say anything now.
When my father clenched his fists, I called out to him urgently. Father! His ferocious gaze, which had been directed at Max, turned to . Ill take care of it, I said. Although I knew he thought of
as an unreliable person, I desperately hoped that he would trust
this ti. I couldnt bear to say any more and gazed at him earnestly instead. Whether he had seen through my silent prayers or decided to give up on his good-for-nothing daughter, he sighed and made way for us. Max passed by him triumphantly, probably thinking I had taken his side. When we left the drawing room and passed through a quiet hallway, there was no one nearby.
I grabbed Maxs shirt. Please let
go for a second. I have sothing to say, Max. He frowned as if to protest, but I looked at him in the eyes. Co on now, I said calmly, its sothing very important. My feet soon touched the floor.
So what is it that you want to say? he asked in a disinterested tone.
I stared at him and said, Thank you for being angry for . But what you said to my father back there was too much.
His handso face crumpled in response. I helped you Well, its understandable why he was upset. He had defended
with good intentions, but I was blaming him for that. He had every right to feel offended, but I still couldnt let his rude behavior slide.
By doing sothing I disapprove of, are you really helping ?
What? he shot back as if he had just heard sothing ridiculous.
I shook my head at his response. I never wanted you to be exiled, nor did I ever want you to be rude to my father.
It seed like he was angry at , seeing as how was glaring at
and murmuring to himself. Despite his fierce, aggressive, and animalistic eyes, I continued speaking without hesitation. Forcefully doing sothing against the other persons wishes isnt helping them. Thats simply for your own satisfaction, I explained.
I fell silent and stared at his flickering eyes, which looked like flas. He opened his mouth after a mont of silence. So, you dont need my help anymore? he asked.
Of course I need your help, but if youre just going to act on your own, Ill have no choice but to co up with a different solution, I said. His face slightly darkened in response. I realized how naive and childlike he was as he beca lost in thought, reminding
of the past Jubelian. I usually wouldnt give lengthy explanations like this, but was it because he was similar to the past ? Even I was wondering why I was acting like this. I let out a sigh and said, Im not saying this because I want to grow distant from you. I want to stay with you for a long ti and get to know you better, but I said these things so that we wont have any resentnt between us.
I was trying to help you back there, he insisted.
I know, but my father is a duke. What you did wasnt helpful if you think about the future troubles he could bring.
A brief mont of silence followed, which he soon broke with a sigh. What do you want from ? he asked.
I want you to make up with my father, I said.
