The risk were great
That little girl was so beautiful when she was young. Without a shred of doubt, she would have turned out to be a beauty by now. When he remembered that Vladis and had already seen Ceci he became frustrated. He shouldn't have allowed him to meet her. He and Vladis had their unique charms, and it was easy for any girl to fall for his handsome face and honey talks. He instantly regretted giving him a one-week vacation and decided to give him a lot of work once he resumed his work.
Oblivious to Arthur's rage, Vladis was smiling on his way back home. While he was oblivious of the workload, he would have to face soon.
Knock, Knock ...
"Enter"
The Butler calmy came inside as he bowed his head for greeting and then served some snacks to the lord on his side table. "Master, do you want anything else?"
Lord kept his mouth shut so the butler didn't dare to utter a sound. He knew very well that his lord did not like nosy people so although he was feeling suffocated as he was standing in front of the lord, he dared not to show anything on his face and remain expressionless. When the butler felt that he may faint anytime because of nervousness, the lord finally opened his mouth to give some commands. "Start preparing for the annual spring festival and ask the florist and plantsmen to decorate the area near the lake. This time I will attend it personally but no need to make it public. I am taking Vladis with me in disguise. Make sure that there are various sweet selling shops too and also prepare a women's closet with all fresh dresses and fashion"
The butler was flabbergasted. He didn't know what was wrong with his lord. First, his lord wanted to attend the annual spring festival, what a joke. Has he forgotten that you need a female companion to attend that festival and his lord has never enjoyed attending parties or banquets with a Female partner let alone this spring festival?
Secondly, what the hell with sweet shops and a woman's closet.
He had various questions in his mind.
Are they getting a mistress for the Empire?
Or it is that that lord wants to indulge in some pleasures. Whatever be the reason, he decided not to probe further and just nodded his head.
"yes, Lord. Will do as you say"
"You may leave"
With that, the butler left the study with a confused face while a certain lord grinned while sipping juice.
"We will meet again, My Dear Ciel!"
