COUNT SALAH CONFESS'S
Chapter 49
James welcomed his friend again, Deron Zanibun came to his estate to talk about departure and preparation. The two young men were indeed young, but they were extremely tenacious and skilled in battle. Their age might be young, but their stamina and brains in crafting war strategies were already beyond doubt.
"Hi buddy... " Deron said hello first.
A brief hug from a friend also occurred. Killon was a stiff man, but James was a level stiffer still compared to Killion.
Deron coming to the Duke mansion without notice was also just a short visit. So he just sent the pigeons a day ago. Because James was too busy following Freya, he missed important information about his friend's arrival.
"You look healthy and fine." Deron said jokingly.
"Well, I'm healthy and fine. You're fine too."
They still chat like a layknya a friend in general.
"I heard a strange rmor about your marriage."James wanted to make sure of something.
"That's not a rumor." Deron said briefly. He was bitter. To be honest he had no intention of getting married, but Felix came to see him directly at his residence and asked for help on behalf of his younger brother who might be sold to the next kingdom by the King. His humanity doesn't give that away, so Deron takes on responsibilities that probably shouldn't belong to him.
"Should I congratulate you." James looked at Deron's expression, it wasn't an expression of people falling in love and loving their partner. Deron's expression was an expression of submission, so James suggested that Deron might have been forced to do so under some circumstances.
"Don't take on responsibilities that aren't your milk." James patted Deron on the shoulder.
Deron smiled bitterly, James who was stiff and sometimes insensitive just knew.
"Well, because we have a lot of responsibilities. If you have time to meet the woman you like with joy. It's gonna be different." James began to talk to his friend.
"Since when did the Grand Duke become a love expert?" Seron mocked James who had never had any experience with women.
"Haha...."James laughing.
It's funny, he is now so much more talk about love than the strategy of war.
"Well, I pray you meet someone you like immediately." James said sincerely.
"You yourself? Did you find it?" Deron may just casually ask the question, who would have thought James answered it so honestly.
"certain." James answered proudly.
What an unexpected answer. Deron alone until dumbfounded. Did ya? this statue man?
"Haha...." This time Deron laughed. His stomach hurt. "Please don't joke." Said again.
James put on a serious face, he answered honestly but the response of his friend even seemed to James replied jokingly.
"I'M SERIOUS!"
Then the laughter disappeared instantly.
"Who is the Lady who stole your heart?" Deron's eyes seemed to sparkle with enthusiasm. Well it seems to have forgotten the topic of the meeting they should have talked about.
"Say man, I'll give him a word and shake his hand for winning the heart of someone like you." Deron answered with great enthusiasm.
"Is there anyone like me?" James felt that he was being ridiculed.
Actually, Deron's intention is not like mocking, ; more to the nature of not willing to open up to people, James is quite selective in choosing a circle of association. He is notoriously difficult to approach, so if there is a Lady who attracts the attention of James, of course Deron is very grateful.
"Forget over and let's focus on our meeting." Jmaes said he wanted to divert the conversation. James felt it was not the moment he had to unlock all his secrets. If they were married, James would be proud to tell the whole world that Freya Westley was his best friend.
"Come on, man...." Deron did not want to lose and continued to urge James. James was free to talk about his feelings. Deron should have opened the card, why James is now on insistence.
They both enjoy the silly joke about who Lady is who made the polar bear what it is today. It's warmer and a little more friendly.
