Seduce the Lord - CH 13
“She was such a pretty girl that it made me feel uncomfortable. She seems to be quite fond of the Count.”
“Alon, I am not married and my whole family is dead. There is no way to pass this family down. Enough for someone to take my place.”
What Cesare said was true. Cesare, who lost his parents a long time ago and never married, has been raising the estate with blood and sweat. If someone were to assassinate Cesare and rise to the top, there was no person or power to stop him. Thanks to that, Cesare has been careful about what he eats and what he wears since becoming lord. The appearance of Louise, who looked prettier and smarter than necessary to be in the countryside, had no choice but to be suspicious.
“You are right. I guess I’ve been too sarcastic. sorry.”
“It’s not been a big deal so far, so you might think so. I understand.”
