Chapter 439: Back to Her Senses
Dani had asked Abel how he got entangled with the Benett Family, so Abel promptly narrated everything to her, appreciating the fact that she was curious enough to find out more about him.
"Oh, that’s when Lord Fritz entered the picture, right?!" Dani asked with her sparkling eyes.
Abel inwardly frowned. He didn’t like the hint of excitement in Dani’s voice upon mentioning Fritz’s name. He had just told her about his meeting with the man who was known to all as his progenitor.
"Yes?" Abel snorted with a frown. "Why is your expression like that whenever you hear or mention Fritz anyway?"
"Well, I’ve heard so much about him, and I truly adore that man!" she beamed. "He’s the head of the Bureau of Astronomy, and I heard from Taro that he has superb skills in being a spy too. That’s why His Majesty always sends him on important and crucial missions!"
"Do you always believe what you hear?" he scoffed. "Last time I checked... He’s just a Scion who loves to wave a fan over himself."
"Oh, and that fan of his is lovely too!" Dani added, making his face sour. He didn’t like the sudden change of topic away from him and towards Fritz."Tell me, where did he purchase that fan?"
"It’s a gift from Exordium Vania, the Queen Mother’s twin," he coolly responded. "Anyway, I’m not interested in talking more about Fritz, Dani. If we’ll speak about him, then I would rather leave now to attend to more important matters."
Abel didn’t bother to hide his annoyance from her. He wanted to be transparent to her that he wouldn’t allow her to think of any man at all aside from him.
