Chapter 454: The what of the what
“We’re here!!” Alice told Axel as soon as she parked her car next to the grand modern mansion and descended. “You guys can go to the guards' room and get some rest… As usual, don’t let my mother see you!” she turned to her men and said.
“YES MISTRESS!” they replied in a unified voice that sent shivers down Axel’s spine. Why was their sound too high-pitched?
Deciding not to think about that, he turned to look at the grand mansion. This place was huge… It was built on top of a mountain that was bigger than the one Victor owned. It took them a full 15 minutes to reach the main building from the gate below. Was there some sort of father-son competition here?
“Let’s go…” Alice who finished instructing her men said and began walking toward the front door. Axel hesitated for a moment then hastily followed.
The door opened as soon as Alice locked. It was as if the butler was waiting behind the gate.
“Ms Alice!” George, who was dressed in his butler tuxedo, said. “Young Master….! WELCOME! The Master is waiting for you!” he said, pausing at Axel’s name as he gestured with one hand inviting them inside. He clearly knew that he was a fake!
“Come on!” Alice said, noticing Axel’s anxiety, then turned and walked inside.
Axel took a deep breath then followed, carefully inspecting the mansion on his way… This place was definitely more luxurious than the other mansion, he could easily tell that… The only thing it lacked in comparison was the loli maids, but he didn’t believe that his father was shameless enough for that.
“Young Lady! I got it!” A little girl in a cute maid's uniform ran from one of the corridors to one of the side rooms while carrying a bottle of juice. “AH!” she almost stumbled into Axel, “Sorry, I…” she paused then sniffed a little. “OH!” she scowled at him, then continued her path in hastened steps, keeping her eyes on him as she went away.
