15 Son of The Count

Adeline's words made the atmosphere quietly. Ryan just laughed at that.

"You are indeed an interesting person. So, want to help me?" Ryan with his smile.

"Sure."

They shake hands with each other. The next plan, they will discuss it at another time. Ryan gave the count party invitations tomorrow night. He wanted them to come. Adeline accepted it and returned to the inn.

On the way back to the inn, Andreas stopped his steps. Pointing towards a park in the big city. Andreas said that he wanted to rest. Adeline grant his wish.

"It's a lovely night."

I looked around at the same time looking at the beautiful night sky. The wind blew my hair. I saw Andreas who hasn't spoken at all after leaving the Hadel mansion.

"What's wrong? Andreas?"

"I felt like I was left behind with him."

His eyes turned to mine. what a beautiful gaze. "Andreas, do you know why I want you to be my men? It's because I believe, Marquees Andreas La Stevenson. Trust yourself. You want to steal that glory, don't you?"

Adeline got up and held out her hand to him. A cold face with a bitter smile as she said. "Let's go."

"Yes, Miss Adeline."

Adeline and Andreas put their robes back on and headed somewhere. Using Adeline's teleportation magic. They arrived at a rooftop.

In a big tree, Adeline and Andreas stopped there and looked into a room. A grand and large room. An old man entered the room together with the two young men.

That's Ryan and next to him must be the Hadel family's first child. What are they doing at night like this? They are like arguing over something. I can't hear it clearly.

"Miss?"

Adeline used her magic to overhear the conversation.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"No, Father." they said simultaneously

Count of the Hadel family. He has the same features as Ryan. Blackish purple hair, grape-like eyes, has a mustache, his body is thin and old.

"I don't have much time left. Among you must be heirs to the name of the Count Hadel. So, I will make the conditions and you have to fulfill that conditions. If you can, you will be heirs to the Count name."

They just have to undergo a test. The test that will make you the heir. Looks like it will be interesting. It's not wrong I'm here.

"It's time we have to go. We have to get ready for the party tomorrow night."

Adeline face looked happy. She smiled wickedly while looking at the moon.

"It's show time."

The following day, it was night at the Hadel mansion. Adeline got off the horse carriage, led by Andreas. Since they were far away from the imperial capital. No one knew who Adeline really was.

Adeline arrived at the hallway. Everyone watching her because of her natural beauty. The dance began and Adeline danced with Andreas, after that Hadel count family entered through the great door.

"Thank you for coming to our party. Enjoy the feast until the end."

Count Hadel and his family began talking to the nobles. I kept looking at Ryan and think about the conditions that time said by count Hadel

I'm just at the corner of the party and try to not attract people's attention. Drinking a wine given by Andreas. When I saw the wine glass. Ryan came towards me with Count Handle.

"Is this the woman you want to introduce?"

"Yes, Father."

Adeline just thought that this was part of Ryan plan. She followed his path and give a bow to him. 

"Greetings Count of the Hadel family. My name is Sasha."

The Count praised Adeline for her beauty. He also asked who was next to her. Andreas introduced himself and Ryan suddenly embraced Adeline in his arms.

"She is my true love, Father. She will be the Countess of the Hadel family in the future. She will qualify for father in the selection of the family heir."

I was confused for an instant. Looked at Andreas and he just lowered his head. Looks like, this is part of the plan. I have to follow his word.

I smiled and returned Ryan embrace while pinching his hand that was behind. I whispered to explain everything when the party was over. Count Hadel seems very pleased, at the same time the first son came with a woman.

"Father, this is the daughter of Baron Winter. She's my future fiancé."

We got acquainted with each other. His first son was named Jeremy and his future fiancée named Cosette. Count Hadel explaining everything to us. One of their sons and their fiancé will compete against each other for the family heir.

I just followed him and gave a sweet smile. One of the conditions turned out like this? Count Hadel was surprisingly unbelievable person. Count Hadel left us to talk with other nobles. His first son and fiancée also left them for some business.

Adeline immediately grabbed Ryan hands and ordered Andreas to follow her. Adeline pulled him into an empty room and stomped his feet without pity.

"What are you doing?" With her sharp gaze

"You said wanted to help me? So I show you the direction of the plan."

"You're going in the wrong direction." Adeline with an annoyed face towards Ryan.

Ryan Finally explained what happened. His father said to be the heir of the family. As he said earlier, they have to compete with each other. Adeline didn't seem to accept it, with an irritated face she sat up and held her head.

"You want me to be your men, right? This is one of my conditions. If you can win this match. I will give my soul and body to you."

He knelt before me with his annoying smile. I want to cut it with a sword.

"Just winning the match right? That way you will give your body and soul to me. If we win, are you really ready to become someone like this man?"

With his warm smile. "Of course, if we can win this match. Miss Adeline Von Lawrence, daughter of Duke Lawrence."

He already knows. His face is annoying, but I like his sensitivity to his surroundings. This person will be useful.

"Calm down, we will win this match. Adeline Von Lawrence will not lose to anyone."

Yeah, I will win this match and have you to be my men.
