33 Chapter 33

Marigold grit her teeth while Leon was thinking this was pure gold. He couldn't wait to see camilas reaction to him teasing marigold.

" I-I...." She truly didn't know what to say, her pride wouldn't allow her to say her legs fell asleep and she needed a bit of help. she's always been doing her best to be and act perfect and do perfectly but now...' Dammit why can't he just leave.'

"You must not have heard me correctly I said you could take a breather for 1 minute and then...huh why are getting clo...wait stop...I said.."

Leon had suddenly stood up confusing Marigold but when she saw him approaching her she unconsciously told him to stay away, as even if she knew he knew she didn't want him to say it.

Leon looked down at her and marigold was suddenly reminded of her mistress Beatrix, the woman she would do anything for, and her long-term crush though she never had the confidence to profess being afraid of how the relationship between them could get weird.

Leon crouched down and looked into blondies eyes. When she saw those familiar pools of golden she wanted to look away but Leon grabbed her chin with his thumb and forefinger and lifted her chin forcefully to look into his eyes. His fingers Unconsciously started to stroke Marigold's chin in a rhythmic pattern.

Just when Marigold was about to reprehend him Leon said something that shocked her.

" You know when you told me to think of happy thoughts, I thought of a lot of things and people that make me happy. And you were one of them marigold.

"Huh?" She was shocked, to Leon she was someone important.

" Mia, Lea, Lucia, Camila the maids in the Manor you are all precious to me including you. We may have not had many interactions besides the casual Hello and how are you doing. But I've known you for years and my mum always sings your praises."

"The mistress does."

"Mh, she does. But she also worries that sometimes you take on too much. I don't know what it is, that you need to take on so much but I'll just say this, you have people that care and will help you...you just need to ask."

"So forget about your pride for one second and tell me blondie. Do you need help?" His face was inches away from hers.

Marigold couldn't even respond. She was too shocked that the young master would tell her something like that. She always thought that he didn't like her and preferred her sister more. which she didn't mind at first but as time went on she started to doubt her own likability.

" I-my legs seemed to have fallen asleep...could you help me to my room or before my legs come back."

Leon smiled and said" Gladly... Miss blondie." Looking at Leon's smile Marigold's heart that had only ever done this for one other person did this for Leon.

{BA DUMP}

It had skipped a beat.

Leon picked marigold up in a princess carry and left the room. On the way, he greeted a few maids who just looked at the pair gobsmacked at what they were witnessing.

Meanwhile Marigold was in a daze the whole time so Leon had no idea what was going through her mind. Leon hadn't done all that just because he wanted to tease the blondie but because he really was worried about her.

In his past life, he was all alone and had worked hard doing overtime and other people's shifts just so he could survive. He had even been offered help on multiple occasions but his pride had blinded him to refuse their kindness and only see it as them pitying him.

Hopefully, with that little speech, she would open up a bit more and relax. What the two didn't know was that when Leon's condition had been active Beatrix had immediately connected to her son's smartwatch and listened in on the whole lesson.

A proud smile graced her lips.' He's growing up to be a fine young man...I wished you could have been here to see him, mum.'

"Sigh."

{1 hour later}

After Leon dropped off marigold back in her room, he went to the kitchen to get a small snack before heading off to his third lesson with his guards.

But what he found strange was that his lesson wasn't in one of the normal rooms of the Manor but Instead in one of the bathrooms in the Manor.

" Do I need to clean myself before I start my third lesson? And what exactly is seduction Resistance class, will they show me pictures of sexy and lewd ladies and I have to try and not get Aroused, Pffft piece of cake all I have to think about is naked old grandmas and ugly bastards, and ill ace this."

(Sigh Leon you poor thing, or you lucky thing, if only you knew what was to come.)

When Leon finally made it to the bathroom Mia appointed he didn't see anyone there. He only saw a clothes basket a towel and a letter.

He grabbed the letter and opened it curiously.' Dear young master, your third lesson starts now. All you have to do is put all your clothes in the basket and head straight into the bath. Head to one of the shower stalls and you should see a chair you can sit on, once you do you will be given further instructions.

yours sincerely Lea.'

"The hell. Sigh whatever there teaching what mum approved so nothing bad should happen." He relented to the request and took off all his clothes, the only thing hiding his brother was the towel Mia or Lea had provided.

Once he was ready he made his way to the bath and once he opened the door he was immediately hit by the humidity of the room.

There was steam and mist everywhere but he could see easily enough so he made his way to the shower stall which was right next to the giant water-filled bath.

He sat down and patiently waited, that's when Leon heard Mia's voice from the speakers in the bath." Afternoon young master, I hope your lessons with Miss Marigold went well. Now before we start I need you to close your eyes for me, this is essential to the process.

And no matter what happens or what you hear keep them closed.

Leon closed his eyes but was thinking that things didn't seem quite right. That's when he suddenly heard the doors of the bath open and he could hear multiple pairs of footsteps entering.

He was surprised and wanted to open his eyes to see who it was. But remembering Mia's instructions he kept them closed though now he was a bit nervous.

He suddenly felt a presence standing right behind him but he didn't move nor react.

" Now young master your hands are going to be tied and your eyes are going to be blindfolded. But don't worry, the miss permitted us." This time it was lea's voice that sounded in the speakers.

Leon nodded and lifted his hands while keeping his eyes fully shut. The presence behind him walked to the front and tied his hands with some rope. It wasn't loose enough that he could escape with a tug or two but if he exerted some strength he could definitely break his bonds. The presence then stood behind him again and tied a blindfold around his head.

But this time it was different as the other party had slid their finger across his skin as they were blinding him.

' Tha-that was a woman's hand...' That's when everything finally clicked in his mind. Blindfold, bonds, Multiple footsteps coming into the bath, the touch of a woman, and finally the name of the lesson.

"Don't tell me...seduction Resistance is.."

" FU FU, Since I've given enough clues the young master has probably guessed by now. But if you haven't you basically need to resist and hold back your desire to touch the women who have just entered the bath with you. No matter what you hear and no matter how much they touch or tease you must not touch them back.

If you feel like your not ready or you do not want to do this you can speak now and training will end or if you want to stop your safe word is pineapple." Mia spoke.

Leon was silent for a good minute before deciding' What the heck, bring it on I won't touch a single woman through this whole test.

" Since the young master has said nothing I'm going to assume you agree with the test, if so let me tell you a few more things before we start.

One, if you for whatever reason yell pineapple then you fail and at the end of the month, you will spend 3 days going through Lucia's special training. If you touch a girl for more than 10 seconds then 1 day will be added to the special training.

"This test will last 30 minutes for now. Are you ready young master?"

"I'm ready." He said with conviction while also reciting Naked old grandmas, Naked old grandmas, Naked old grandmas repeatedly in his mind.

"Then let the test begin." This time Mia and Lea spoke in unison. Leon could practically hear their sinister giggles from behind the scenes.
