Chapter 74: Does this make me look like a Villain?
Cass checked himself out in the full length mirror in Lord Blackburn’s closet and sighed. Well, he certainly looked the part.
The ensemble that Sam had picked out for him certainly screamed villain. Honestly, Sam was uncannily good at selecting outfits that would make a regular bad guy weep. He took Lord Blackburn’s already questionable looks and was able to transform them into true villainy. The black lace was a very nice touch.
He had a talent, but Cass wasn’t sure how useful it was going to be to him.
Thankfully, Sam had other talents, so Cass wasn’t too worried, but it did come in handy sometimes.
"You’ve outdone yourself, Sam. I look like I own a slave market." Cass told him and Sam chuckled.
"There is no need to compliment me, my Lord, but thank you." Sam’s cheeks were flushed, his eyes warm as he looked over his work. "You don’t...own any slave markets, do you my Lord?" Sam asked carefully and Cass shrugged.
"I don’t believe that I do, but who is to say what my dear grandfather does while I am not around, hmm?" Cass joked, adjusting the collar on his jacket. He couldn’t decide if he wanted to pop it or not. Well, it didn’t matter too much. He looked plenty intimidating both ways. "Sam? Should I put up the collar or not?" Cass asked, turning to his favoured henchman and Sam put his hand under his chin, circling him before he nodded.
"I think I prefer it down, my Lord. Then you could put it up while in a serious moment." Cass couldn’t see him doing that, but he appreciated the opinion. He had a feeling it would suck the tension out of the moment.
"Alright. I think we are ready. Shall we head to the study?" Cass suggested and Sam nodded, moving towards the door and opening it. Byron was waiting, pressed against the other side of the wall while still holding onto the basket. He smiled at the sight of Sam, and his grin shifted slightly when he noticed how Cass was dressed. He glanced nervously at Sam.
