Chapter 516. Love-clouded Brain
"Took you long enough," Louis said with a scowl when Jael walked into his study.
Jael didn’t spare Louis a glance as he walked to his seat. "What are you doing here?" He asked dryly.
"What are you playing at?" Louis asked. "Surely, love hasn’t made you go senile."
Jael sighed, "You’re not the person I have business with. Therefore, we have nothing to discuss. I have a task for you..."
"Are you even listening to me?" Louis asked.
Jael finally lifted his gaze to look at Louis. "I need you to find a way to get Mauve to see Vae while I am keeping Seraphino busy. If anyone can do it, it will be you."
"Jael," Louis said darkly. "What are you playing at?"
"I don’t understand your question but you best be on your way as Seraphino will be here soon and the conversation I’d have with him will be private, so scram."
"Listen to me for goodness sake. Think about Mauve, it’s almost like you are actively trying to provoke the Lords. Just..." he took a deep breath. "Tone it down a little. You don’t want that kind of attention on Mauve. They can condone her because she doesn’t seem like a threat but other than making her sit next to you at a table of Lords, you go out to be openly affectionate. Tone it down for goodness sake. For Mauve’s sake."
"I think you’re worried about the wrong human. Right now, your concern should be how we can get Vae away from Seraphino. I don’t want to hear about anything else."
Louis sighed, not hiding his frustration. "Just be careful."
