Chapter 31: Claude's Priority
Gilbert Mansion, Reception Room.
Currently, there were four men present in it.
The atmosphere was far from pleasant and cordial. It was tense, as if the start of a war was imminent.
Welcome, Earl Lennox. So, what brings you here? Kuku, or do we need to exchange pleasantries first?
No need for that, Marquis Gilbert.
Although he was trying to maintain a calm exterior, Earl Lennoxs frustration and hostility were clearly evident.
Yolande, who was also present, observed this with a faint smile.
(Hmm, its no wonder Marquis Gilbert called me here. This is too suspicious. What does a powerful noble from the royal faction want from him?)
I have something to discuss in private, but why is someone from the Lonsdale family here?
Dont ask questions you already know the answers to. I dont dismiss people. Speak as it is. Dont tell me youre foolish enough to not understand the reason?
Fine.
Even though he said he understood, Earl Lennoxs anger was boiling inside him.
As someone who was accustomed to being respected and admired, Claudes arrogant behavior was unbearable for him.
Then let me ask you directly. What are you planning?
What do you mean?
Dont play dumb with me!
With a loud bang, Earl Lennox stood up and slammed the table.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
Despite being confronted with clear anger, there was no change in Claudes expression.
This fact only served to further irritate Earl Lenox.
I may not know your intentions yet, but I know that youre up to something!!
Kuku, so what?
Ha?
So what? What can you even do if you know about it?
Y-you.
Claudes unrepentant attitude made Earl Lennox almost blurt out something he would regret, but he managed to hold it in.
However, he still couldnt contain his rage and took out a letter from his chest and thrust it in front of Claude.
Isnt this also your doing!?
What is this?
Its a letter from my third daughter, Mia, who attends the Aslan Magic Academy.
I see.
In an instant, Claude searched for various possibilities, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldnt find anything that made sense.
Claude glanced sideways at Yolande, but even he shook his head.
Still trying to fool me?
Earl Lennox aggressively took out the contents of the letter and pointed to a particular section. It reads as follows.
I intend to devote myself to Luke.
The moment he confirmed it, Yolande reflexively hid his mouth to conceal his twisted smile, so as not to be noticed by the Earl.
There was no way he would refuse.
Hmm, Ill think about it.
Huh?
Eh?
This was such a shocking response that Yolande couldnt help but exclaim.
It was also unexpected for Earl Lennox.
He was so surprised that he just stood there, staring blankly.
Im not asking you to make her his lawful wife. She can be a concubine, you know?
Yes, thats why I said Ill think about it. Dont make me repeat myself twice.
What! Why do you need to think about it? Stop playing games! Im already making a concession just by proposing this!
Dont misunderstand. I didnt say I need to think about it for that reason.
Then what is it?!
Claude sipped his tea elegantly, aggravating the Earl of Lennox even further.
For now, he had no choice but to wait for Claudes answer.
And then
I have to ask Luke. Im not foolish enough to repeat the same mistake.
For Earl Lennox, who lacked love for his own children, these words were incomprehensible.
Why did he need to ask his own child? He couldnt understand it at all.
From the moment Luke manifested the rare dark attribute, the Earl of Lennox had considered switching to the noble faction as an option.
It was easy to imagine that the noble faction would gain great power with the manifestation of the dark attribute.
However, he never considered the possibility of being rejected.
It was not arrogance, but rather a thought that he evaluated his own value calmly.
Claudes priorities had been clear for fifteen years.
For him, Lukes happiness was the top priority that must be achieved regardless of anything else.
That would never change even if the flame of ambition was reignited.
However, Claude made a mistake to make Lukes engagement with Alice.
He jumped to conclusions because he lost a little bit of his calm thinking when it came to Luke.
Claude noticed this immediately when he saw Lukes reaction, but he couldnt say anything.
He wasnt foolish enough to not understand why Luke didnt say anything.
(I wont make that mistake again, Luke!)
Therefore, Claude was determined.
No matter what happens, he will never let Luke make that face again.
Yolande naturally realized that Claude had a great love for Luke.
However, he didnt realize how extreme his parental love had become.
(I never thought it would come to this)
Claudes willingness to give up everything for Luke.
And the fact that his love for his child has gone this far beyond common sense.
