|145|. Because It'll Just Suck at Me

"So, he's already been made emperor?"

Rajeev sat in his study. He had just sipped a blood tea mixed with the scent of jasmine. It gave him a slight feeling of calm and relaxation.

"That's right" Javier replied. He was sitting on the couch in the workspace.

Tok.dok..

"Your highness"

Rajeev put down the cup and raised his head towards the door.

"Come in"

The door was pushed open and a young servant walked inside politely.

"What's wrong?" Folding both his hands on the table, Rajeev immediately put forward the reason for his arrival.

"There's someone who wants to see you. He said he was the son of Marques Wood"

Rajeev smiled coldly, "Please him in"

He should be polite, right?

The servant bowed politely before coming out and immediately left to let Sean in.

"So, what's the reason you came to my house?"

Sean put a smile on his lips, "I haven't even sat down. But you've already asked me what my purpose is.."

"..." - ".Rajeev's eyes staring at Sean were calm with no particular expression.

Sean immediately sat on one of the single sofas without having to wait in the final. He continued with his casual smile, "Duke Rajeev, I didn't think you were someone impatient"

Rajeev forced a faint smile on his twitching lips, "I think my patience is running out for something very important"

Sean put his lips in. He knows something very important what it is. Nothing else and nothing...

"Is it completely finished?"

"..." - ".Rajeev's eyes gave Sean a deep look.

"If not, I advise you to stop it. Because I don't want you to waste your precious patience"

Rajeev's hand on the table was slowly clenched, "There have been too many bad rumors about me. So, I think there is no need to maintain such manners. Therefore, please just get to the point. No need to beat around the bush"

Sean knows what bad rumors are spreading in the community about Duke Rajeev. He was rumored to be a power-hungry ruler. Because of his thirst, the man chose not to marry because he did not want to have an heir who would later seize his place.

He is also known as a wild man who likes to have fun with women. But not just any woman can crawl into her bed. Those are just some of the things he believes in. Like her servants and the beauty she nurtured— Emma.

"Alright, I don't want to stay here too long either" Sean pulled out a brown envelope from behind his red-brick coat.

He put it on the table.

"This is a testament to the recent illegal trade transactions you have made, some of the bribery reports you have done and the rest you can see for yourself"

Rajeev's jaw instantly hardens. Javier picked up the envelope and checked the sheet of paper inside. After confirming it, he raised his gaze to Rajeev.

'Looks like we can't continue our plan'

Understanding the meaning of his gaze, Rajeev's eyes flashed coldly.

"I came here to deliver the message of His Majesty. He told me to tell you a few things"

"..."

"Evening was a very disappointing moment. His trusted uncle had revolted against him. He knew it wasn't the only one. But he knew it would be his last. That's why he told you, 'I know you're a very careful person. Then stay that way. Because often those who are very careful, will continue to be stable in the way"

The upper corner of Rajeev's lips twitched when he heard that. He understood very well what the very meaning was emphasized in the message.

Do not choose a path as reckless as the former temporary emperor or else his position will be at stake.

"I understand" Rajeev smiled wryly, "Till my reply to His Majesty. I will be careful and always will be"

Look at the brown envelope lying on the table. He has no other choice. The path to be careful is...

Stop over.

"Okay, I'll tell you. Then excuse me, Duke"

Sean got off the train and the first sight that greeted him was a young woman in a plain old brown dress. His long golden brown hair was already neatly trimmed all over his ears. On it was a round hat made of woven coconut leaves. Protects her pale skin from the scorching sun.

The woman seemed to be watering the plant with a padlock in her hand.

Sean's heart was racing. Her footsteps were too heavy to move and her throat had been choked to speak.

Sensing the presence of a person, the woman who looked down raised her face.

He's unmoved.

The two men sat together in silence.

One sec..

Two seconds..

Three seconds..

"How are you?"

"Your news is good?"

After throwing the same question at each other, the two of them laughed awkwardly.

"It's pretty hot outside. Looks like you just made a long trip. Let's rest a little inside"

"Sorry, trouble you then"

"Not at all"

The woman smiled brightly and Sean's heart rippled.

Inside that small house, Sean saw the order in his neat and simple. There's no luxury, but Sean can feel the peace inside.

A little bit of loneliness too...

Hesitating, Sean asked, "You didn't return to your residence?"

Camellia shook her head, "After being discharged from the imperial palace last night, I immediately decided to seclude myself somewhere"

When looking into those pretty eyes forced a calm smile, her heart felt pain.

"The new emperor was very generous. He returned us with some fancy gifts. I've sold him some and bought this simple place"

Camelia poured ice into an empty glass and took a bottle of chicken blood. He poured it into a glass that already contained ice.

"Sorry, I don't have your favorite deer blood. It was too expensive to buy" Camelia put the glass on the table, "Hopefully you don't mind chicken blood"

Sean smiled, "Not at all"

Sean raised a cold glass and took a sip. It feels very ordinary. It felt so good on his tongue. Perhaps it is because the one who presents it is someone who...

"Sean"

"Yes?" Sean stared straight at Camelia's face. His eyes filled with smiles of happiness.

"Do you still have feelings for me?"

The deg!

Is that too obvious?

Seeing her reaction, Camelia guessed it was true.

Sean still has feelings for her.

"I'm sorry, I can't return your feelings. In any case, it's not possible for us to start over"

"Why?" Sean's voice sounded hoarse and raucous.

Camelia's eyelashes bulged, the base of her nose felt sour and concentrated.

"You're most clear on why. So please don't urge me to explain.." Camelia lowered her head, staring at the floor of her house which was just a rough patch of cement, "Because it would only hurt me"

Like that, Sean's first love is completely over.
