Chapter 278: Arren And Spade (10)
Perhaps it was due to the fact that it was only the two of them that Arren had gained the courage to talk back. If his father were here, Arren would definitely think of his presence and keep silent while cursing Spade’s shamelessness in his mind.
At first, Spade seemed to also be taken aback by Arren’s reactions and demeanor, but his eyes still inexplicably flickered. It was unknown whether it was amusement or another kind of emotion.
"Mm." Spade nodded, a soft smile gracing his lips. "I invited myself," he continued, garnering Arren’s dumbfounded expression yet again.
Looking at the emperor, who said that he invited himself without batting an eyelid, Arren never thought to see this shameless side of him. Seriously, this wasn’t the emperor he knew!
Arren cleared his throat and composed himself; he didn’t want to get swayed by mere words from him.
"Am I still rude if I don’t want to attend a guest that invited himself?"
Spade shrugged, rather casually. "Technically, yes. You are."
Just as he thought that Spade’s shamelessness had a limit, here he was about to confuse Arren. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Your Majesty... I’ll call my father so he can attend to you." He thought that this conversation would be going nowhere as they were only going in circles.
He intended for his father to take over since the emperor must have visited the mansion for him. However, to his surprise, his conjecture was not the reality at all.
"I’m not here for the Duke," Spade revealed, his face now slightly serious as he stared at Arren.
