670. Her Ladyship Sake

"Like I can't trust you. Don't go telling Mauve about our personal matters. Leave that to me!" Jael spat out. He sounded angrier than he needed to be, and Mauve involuntarily took a step back.

Louis, however, didn't look the least bit bothered by Jael's outburst. "She was just voicing her concern about the current situation, and unlike you, she has a good head on her shoulders to try to think of how this might affect you."

Louis walked past them. "I know not to poke my head in more than I am allowed to. You don't have to worry about that. Even if you don't trust me, at least trust that I have Mauve's best interests at heart."

"That remains to be seen," Jael commented.

"Jael!" Mauve scolded, pulling him. "Don't say that to Louis."
