Chapter 48: My Idea is Too Shameless and Crazy for This World’s Standards
Alright, we got a decent help with the main players. Having the protagonist and two villains is enough firepower to deal with supporting characters in the story, I hope. The issue is the lack of manpower and also how my father intends to react to this.
Leonhardt will definitely fight by his side, unlike Ravenna and Moriah, but I don’t know what his idea is for taking down our enemies now.
It would be good if father was a bit warmer in his reception and stop thinking only with his head and more with his heart, but who am I to criticize when I only think with my lower head?
Ravenna can now handle herself. Escaping is easy, and there will surely be a lot of charred bodies rolling through the corridors to use as cover. What I need to care about is a conversation with the Duke, who must be in one of the offices now. Well, let’s go, I have nothing to lose anyway.
Leonhardt follows behind me and... By all that is holy, I’m going to turn around and punch his face at any minute now. It’s tiring being followed everywhere by this virgin, to the point where seeing him always in the corner of my eye is slowly driving me insane.
"Hey, don’t you have anything better to do?"
"No. Being in your company is the best thing I could ask for."
"I’m serious, aren’t there any monsters or anything to deal with out there? Stop following my ass everywhere."
"I apologize, that would be too much. Your life is at risk and... considering the situation, I decided to offer myself to the Duke to protect you."
"So you chose yourself to be my bodyguard? Don’t you think you’re weird, Leonhardt?"
"I might be a little strange sometimes, but I swear everything I do is out of good will. You are an incredible person and very respected in my eyes, I just want to reciprocate with a gesture of kindness."
Ew. All your luminescence is making me blind, you jerk. I wanted to know where this platonic feeling came from... just so you know, I’m not going to sleep with you in a thousand years.
