Maximillien was sitting solemnly while staring at the dinner in front of him. This was the dinner he prepared for Jean. He wanted Jean to have a nice dinner with him, so he told the head cook to make everything Young Master Jean loved. 

He kept something in his head for a long time, a confession. But he didn't know how to say it, and he was still contemplating whether he should say it in the first place due to their status.

Although they were not blood-related at all, Maximillien grew up with Jean. He became overprotective to Jean and wanting the best for that boy.

But at the same time, he wouldn't deny there was another feeling blooming inside his heart, and nobody could ever give him this kind of feeling. It was only with Jean. 

Maximillien closed his eyes, thinking about the best way to confess his feeling. But the more he thought about it, the more he met a dead end.
