Comeback to the present time.
Vincent was speechless hearing Jared's story.
*astonished* "That was unexpected story!" *disbelieved*
"Anyway the Duke accepted your vows when he didn't familiar with you yet. Even thought he's a person that hard to believe on other people especially strangers, he can immediately accepted you. He must trust you a lot, so you shouldn't felt inferior to meaningless things. You know, I believed that 75% reasons the Duke accepted Edward and mine vows were because we were close friends." *proud*
"How about the rest?" *hesitant and curious*
"Of course, the rest are pure coercion." *proud*
*dumbfounded* "Should I impressed on that?"
"Well, actually I overheard your meeting yesterday and today. I was amazed on you, you know? You can handled that troublesome vassals on your own, if I were you, I'll gone crazy and explode in the middle of the meeting instead."
*stunned* "Thank you" *smile*
Jared impressed on Vincent smile
*impressed* "You're actually quiet handsome when you're smiling. It's a shame that you're rarely smiles"
"Should I trying to smile more often from now on?"
*shake his head* "Don't force yourself, just let yourself smile naturally. Don't try to make a fake smile like a certain someone. It's made me the sense to throw up!" *pale*
*confused* "Who do you mean?"
*look at Vincent* "The Duke, of course!" *goosebumps* "The Duke smile are a fake smile. Sometimes that smile of him was covering his schemes." *trembling*
*pfft*
Vincent laugh for the first time.
"Oh, you can laugh too" *smile*
*come to his sense* "Thank you, Jared. I felt better now" *smile*
"No problem" *proud*
"Then let me come back and continue my work" *stand up*
"Alright, be careful on your way" *wave his hand*
Vincent nodding then leave the workshop.
In Study Room
Lydia working with the three temporary assistants. Bella approaching Lydia.
"My Lady..." *slowly*
*checking documents* "What's the matter, Bella?"
"My Lady, the Second Prince Wedding are approaching. You haven't prepare the dress and gift yet"
Lydia stunned and stop her work
*realized* "Oh My God! I really forgot about that! Quick prepare my dress, I'll go out now!" *stand up*
"Yes, my Lady" *bow*
Lydia leaving the study room abruptly. A few times later, Vincent come in the study room.
*looking around* "Where's the Duchess?"
"She went to buy a new dress" *Number 1 answering Vincent*
"Is that so, then I should just take the rest of the documents to the Duke" *walk forward to Edward desk*
The three temporary assistants approaching Vincent
"Vincent, there are rumor that you have become the Duke Second Aide. Are that rumor true?" *worried*
Vincent ignored Number 1 and approaching Edward desk then save the documents in his storage ring.
*gasp* "That... Aren't that storage ring?"
The three of them shocked looking on storage ring in Vincent hand. Then they grab Vincent hand to take a look at the storage ring
*inspect* "It seem this ring aren't the ordinary storage ring that being sold in the market. Where do you find it? You're not stealing it, are you?" *suspecting*
*yank*
Vincent pull his hand
"Are you crazy? Why must I stole it? The Duke gave it to me himself." *glare at him*
The three of them shocked.
"So the rumor were true?" *disbelieved*
*worried* "Are you being forced, Vincent? You could tell us about it, we'll help you as much as we can" *worried*
"That's true, did the Duke force you?"
"I was the one that force the Duke to take my vow, he's my Lord and my Master for now and for the rest of my life. So please restraint yourself from badmouthing him." *glare at the three of them*
The three of them shocked because of disbelieved.
*dejected* "We... We were sorry. We just worried about you" *act pitiful*
"That's fine. Please excuse me, I still have work to do"
Vincent leave the room. Meanwhile in Hunted Forest
In Verduny tent
Verduny and Edward work together
*writing* "Edward" *writing*
*inspect the documents* "Yes, my Lord?"
*writing* "It seem that my Second aide aren't specialty in magic" *writing*
*working* "My Lord, Not everyone were magicians like us"
*writing* "That's true, but everyone have magic on themselves. It depend on that persons to train their magic or not. Vincent are among those who didn't practices their magic." *writing*
*still inspecting* "Then do you want him to train his magic?"
*writing* *instant answer* "Yes." *writing*
*stop working* *look at Verduny* "Do you want me to teach him myself?"
*writing* "It's no problem who'll teach him. I just want him to be able using his magic. It's a shame to waste such talent like him" *writing*
"What do you mean, my Lord?" *curious*
*writing* "His element were bluish red color. We know that there are three main color, right?" *writing*
*pondering* "Yes, the three main color were Yellow, Blue and Red." *realize something*
*writing* "You realize now? His element are bluish red color not purple or violet like mine. It's rare for a person to have 2 main color as his main attributes" *writing*
"Then I'll teach him myself" *determinant*
*writing* "You'll be busy in the future and can't teach him properly. Just ask someone else to do so" *writing*
*a little disappointed* "Then how about Shamus? He's the number 1 magician in our Dukedom, right?"
*writing* "He'll do" *writing*
*hesitant* "But my Lord, I really want to teach him myself" *look at Verduny with glittering eyes*
*glance at Edward* *sigh* *writing* "Then you can teach him on your spare time." *writing*
"Thank you, my Lord" *smile happily*
The two of them continue their works. After awhile, Verduny's communication device are glowing with Greenish blue color. Lydia was calling Verduny. Verduny stop his work and wield the devices.
"Lydia? What's wrong?"
"My Lord, I've forgotten to prepare our outfit for the prince wedding day and I'm planning to buy it right away. Do you have spare time to buy it with me, my Lord? My apologies if it's too sudden"
Verduny actually forgot about the dress too.
"My Lord?"
*cough* "No need to go out, Lydia. It's too late to buy the dress now. Let me call the tailor to our manor instead" *suggesting*
"But I don't know any available tailor for us. Furthermore aren't the tailors already been fully booked, my Lord?"
"Don't worry, I'll be the one to call the tailor. You can rest assured." *convincing*
"What about the gift, my Lord?"
"Actually, I've prepared the gift for the prince. But I forgot about Lady Alexandrite. Could I leave Lady Alexandrite gift to you, Lydia?" *expecting*
"Yes, you could leave it to me"
*smile* "Then I'll notify you when the tailor coming later."
"Thank you, my Lord"
Lydia hung up the call. Verduny put the device back to his desk.
"Edward, call that arrogant lovers tailor to the manor tomorrow. If that lovers refuse, call out all their customers and tell the customers to cancel their orders on that boutique's lovers. If the customers refuse to cancel their order, make them regretting their decisions." *creepy smile*
*sigh* "Yes, my Lord"
Edward bow to Verduny and leaving the tent. Verduny continue his works. After awhile, Vincent come in Verduny tent
*come in* "My Lord, I've finished the meeting" *salute*
*writing* "Good job, you can take a rest and make your report later" *writing*
*approaching Verduny* "My Lord, these are the rest of today reports" *take out some documents from his storage ring and put it on Verduny's desk*
In the blink of eyes the amount of documents on Verduny desk increase significantly. Verduny get irritated.
*look around* "My Lord, where is Edward?"
*writing* "He invite some tailors to coming tomorrow." *writing*
"That so. My Lord did you have your lunch yet?" *look at Verduny*
Verduny ignored Vincent questions and continue his works.
*sigh* "It seem you don't have your lunch yet"
*stop writing* *irritated* "So what..."
*meddling* "My apologies, I'll come back with your lunch immediately."
Vincent bowing then leaving the tent, after awhile he come back with Verduny's meals.
*serve the meals* "Please enjoy your meals, my Lord. I'll come back for a bit."
After serving Verduny meals, Vincent go to have his own lunch. Meanwhile Verduny reluctantly eat his lunch. After awhile, Vincent come back to Verduny tent and tidying the plates. Meanwhile Verduny drink his tea leisurely.
*tidying the plates* "My Lord, the Vassal urged you to improve the Dukedom facilities especially the ones for the tourists. They said that it's been delayed for years already and you should start to considering about it thoroughly."
*burst*
Verduny choke on his tea.
*cough* "Tell them, I'll consider it when I'm available" *cough*
"My apologies, I didn't intending to made you choked. Don't worry, my Lord. I'll bring new tea for you"
Vincent leave the tent again. Verduny start to get irritated. Then he wait for Vincent. After awhile, Vincent come back with a pot of herbal tea. Then serve the tea to Verduny.
*take the tea* "How about the plan? Did they agree?" *drink the tea*
*salute* "Initially they were disagreed about it but with some augmentation they were finally agreed to it"
*sip* "What did you told them?"
Vincent quiet for awhile
"Nothing special, I just told them what you told me before."
"Really? How boring! Anyway, because there will be guest coming tomorrow, you will come with me to the manor tomorrow."
"Huh? Then who'll oversee the training in here?" *confused*
"I trust my soldiers, they won't dare to slack off on their training. They have their own supervisor on each team too"
"As your command, my Lord"
Verduny and Vincent start their works together. Meanwhile Edward went to one of boutique in the Capital City of Amethyst Dukedom.
In Wonderful Socks boutique
Wonderful Socks Boutique was one of the famous boutique in the Empire. They have branches for almost all over the continents. Edward come in the boutique.
*smile brightly* "Welcome, Mr. Customers! How could we..." *turn pales*
The two people who smile brightly earlier turn pale when look at Edward arrival
*smile* "Hello, Mr. Sketchy and Mrs. Stitchy. Long time no see, how have you been?"
The two tailors look disgusted at Edward.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNLhkAI1u
