He struggled to block her out of his mindtelling himself winning against his master was priority. Nevertheless, her lovely appearance continued to linger before him. So days, he thought he was going mad and seeing hallucinations.
His stubbornness gradually faded as he began to rationalize his longing for her.Does it even matter what her ideal type is if I cant et her?he frequently wondered. Unable to stand the separation, Max ended up running out of his hiding place and sprinting nonstop to the Floyen mansion. About to enter through the window as usual, he rembered what Jubelian had said previously.
Cant you just co in through the door like a normal person?
He headed to the front door imdiately. There would be nothing stopping him since it was still dayti.
Oh, hello there! Its wonderful to see you. It was one of Jubelians maids who greeted him with a bright expression. Nonetheless, the distressed Max couldnt smile back. He deed it unreasonable to be kind to anyone other than Jubelian.
Take to her, he muttered in a low voice.
