You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 571

The moment he used for affirmation of his orders was followed by a nonchalant attitude. Uselessly looking through the documents near Zeleskiaz’s hand. — "... If my lady wants to go to her shop I do not want her to wait long for her carriage. Whenever she wishes to go to the city she should be able to go without waiting."

"... What about the stables?"

"It’s none of your business."

"... You can say embarrassing things like not wanting her to wait for a carriage but you cannot tell why you want the stables in good shape?"

"You can guess what it’s for, d*mn it. Don’t ask."

"Oho~ So it was also for the Ninth. You’ll take her on a horse’ stroll? Good for you." — Satisfied to disturb the man, Biel turned around hoping to leave as the issue seemed to be over.

"... That’s not all." — However, Zeleskiaz interrupted the right hand.

"For Izeneya’s mercy, what else do you need?! Can’t you say it all at once?? I’m busy too!"

"Don’t raise your voice like you want to work. There’s something I need to ask before you leave." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"... What is it now?" — Narrowing his eyes, the right hand eventually asked. More submissive as it was true his wishes were not prone to continue his tasks. Analysing the fidgety Zeleskiaz... who had now decided to share some of his concerns with the one closer to a friend he had. — "Sigh... Are you just going to frown while thinking about it or are you going to ask what you need to know? I do want to at least leave your bureau, mate. It’s becoming awkward, you know?"

"... She said she wants to go to see the training sometimes."

"... Is that so?"

"Yes."

"... And so? What about it?" — Not receiving the expected inquiry but a fact, Biel said frustrated between his teeth. Smiling while annoyed at the troublesome master sitting across from him. Pressing with his essence for the inquiry to be made so his presence could be dismissed. — "Don’t just stay quiet, it’s getting annoying, Zeleskiaz."

"It’s only that I don’t understand it... Why does she want to go see that? How should I take this request of hers? I feel like it is a good thing but then I also know it is not a place for her glow to visit... I never expected her to want such a thing. Wouldn’t a woman feel bored at such a place?"

’Her glow he says...’ — A bit entertained at the trouble of the prince, Biel smirked, returning to the severity his stance needed so the truth, mixed with playful tease and mischievous exaggeration could make the in-love prince anticipant and nervous. — "Why, you ask... the ninth’s nature is obvious, don’t you think? It is clearly because she wants to see where her suitor will be placing his energy every morning instead of joining her for a teacup. She is also clever. It could be a way to make sure you are not lying and meeting other women, so she did not say when she would visit and only said she intends to do so."

"?! I would never meet other women now that I met her!"

"I have never said you would. I said ’It could be’, aren’t you listening to what I’m saying? These are suppositions!"

"... She still doesn’t need to do that."

"Sigh~ you don’t understand... Either way, I believe it is the first reason. She is not rotten to think badly of others. Letting you court her is fair proof of that so she probably doesn’t think you could play around."

"Are you mocking me while using my lady?"

"I’m stating facts, your highness. Please do not twist my intentions solely because you do not like my words."

"Tsk. Whatever, get to the point."

"Our Precious Ninth wishes to see you at the training grounds. She wants to see YOU training hard. She wishes to learn about her suitor’s strengths! She wants to witness the powerful side that the Empire fears and admires in all of its complex glory!"

"... Really?"

"Of course! You need to show your best, Zeleskiaz! She needs to see how her suitor is a man that leads the strongest. A man between men. Show off your muscles, man. She’ll love it!"

"... What the hell are you saying. My lady is not looking for that."

"What does it matter?! It’s your opportunity to show how attractive you are! The Ninth is currently the most beautiful woman in the Empire, don’t you know how the nobles drool when she’s around?? It’s quite the scene. Her silent nature makes it so she’s mystical, everyone is after her mere glance, even men like- Uh... what’s with that glare?"

"... They dare to look at my beloved?... Who."

"... Don’t take this with your insane ways, Zeleskiaz. This wasn’t the reaction I was hoping to get while complimenting the Ninth, truthfully..." — Aware that his exaggeration had annoyed the possessiveness of the crown prince, Biel calmed his enthusiasm to also calm the irritation from his friend and master. Sighing as he made his point more clear to the bothered Zeleskiaz. — "What I am trying to convey is... it’s the opportunity to show how admirable a man you are and how the men respect you. If she sees this she will learn how dependable you are and feel more safe and attracted to you."

"... Alright. I’ll have to do well every morning then. I don’t know when she could visit."

"That’s what I’m talking about. You have to make her think: Go~osh, his Highness is so handsome and strong~ I am head over heels to have his love~!... Something along those lines."

"... My lady would not express herself like that."

"Agh! Whatever! If that’s all I’m leaving! Keep talking to yourself instead of bothering me with this kind of thing. I told you I’m actually busy."

"... Once afternoon comes, you finish these records and hand them to the secretary."

"W- But I gave you advice!! Why do I have to do that?!"

"And? It’s your job, right hand." — As though he was unappreciative of Biel’s efforts, Zeleskiaz affirmed, indifferent to his follower’s disgrace.
