Chapter 278 – [Bonus Chapter]

"Alright, let's make a deal, if you would help me with getting rid of the girl, I will help you with the girl you are in love with.

You are having trouble professing your love, right?" Leo narrowed his eyes at the man who had a wide grin on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" his brows furrowed but the man continued to smile. Leo would never accept that he was having trouble and this dumb would help him.

"If you think it is nonsense, then let it be. But if you want to know the best ways to propose to a girl, then I know plenty. 

In fact, I can show you! Just have a meal with me and help me in getting rid of the girl!“ Leo closed his eyes, he did not want to get entangled in his foolish matters. But he was torn to explain it to her too.

She had a high iq ubt her eq was so low that he had failed to profess his love so many times.

Aiden's smile broadened when Leo's steps halted. He was just playing blind, but who would have thought that it would work!

"Brother! I have vast experience with girls. Trust me! I know what girls like." he assured her again and Leo sighed. He knew that he was making a mistake but his heart did not let him deny it.

He reluctantly took the steps back and sat on the sofa where Aiden was pointing at.

"If it does not work, I will beat you until you will not be recognized anymore!" he threatened with a dark glare but the man nodded easily, as if he was already expecting it.

"Of course, I have a plan! I will arrange a date for you in my personal theater. You would not even need to propose! I will prepare a candle light dinner for you and music and roses.

No matter how dense the girl is, she would understand your heartfelt feelings!" his eyes turned dreamy as he mimicked the actions of playing violin and then twirled with the imaginary hands in his hands.

"That would be so perfect i promise!" Leo did  know why, he could not focus on the words of Aiden anymore. 

His eyes were already watching the dream in the broad daylight where he and Evan were dancing on a fine tune with the soft and romantic glow of candles.

It felt so great that he felt like his heart was clawed by a beast. His deep and soulful eyes burnt with ambiguous thoughts and a smile came on his lips unconsciously. For a second the surroundings in front of him blurred.

And a strong and alert knight like him got lost in his thoughts.

"So, what do you think about the plan?" asked the man as he pounced on the nearby seat.

The sound of his landing brought Leo back to his senses. And the smile on his face disappeared as if it was never there.

"Mm, so, what do you want me to do?" even his voice turned a bit soft as he asked this time that it was difficult to believe that both words come out from the mouth of the same man.

"You just have to scare the girl so that i do not need to marry her. I wonder what kind of girl would cook dinner for the man she had not even met!

She must be someone with greed to get married to higher nobles, I say!" he snorted with disdain as he recalled the letter he had received from his mother.

He would make sure that the girl would regret her decision. He would insult her and Leo would scare her. The plan was just perfect, now all he needed to do was to wait for the girl for execution.

A smirk formed on his lips as he learned on the sofa with comfort and Leo sighed and started having second thoughts. Though he was cold, he never insulted girls on his own accord.

He just stayed away with them. How and why would he scare a girl that he did not know. Just when he was about to deny and stand up, the door was knocked and a maid come in,

"My lord! The dinner is ready. The preparations are done in the kitchen itself. Shall I escort you there!?" The maid was sent by his mother. The maid was only making sure that he would not run away from there.

How childish! He had to say that they were too excited when it came to marrying him off even when he was so young. 

"That would not be needed. I have seen the kitchen. But I want you to arrange the sitting of another man. Young lord would give us company there!" he demanded and without giving a chance to reply to the girl, he walked out of the room.

Leo raised a brow at the man, this was the first time he had been asked to follow someone else. He stood up leisurely placing his hands into the pockets, walked out behind the man who had suddenly turned cold leaving the stunned maid behind.

The maid blinked and only came back to her senses when she noticed that they had already disappeared.

"I am going to be dead!" She ran behind them only to match their steps when they reached the door.

"My lord, i do not think that my lady would be happy with your decision." she pleaded as she remembered the threat of her mistress. She would be the first to lose the job if anything went wrong.

But Aiden paid no heed to it, he pointed to Leo who rolled his eyes and opened the door. The girl waiting in, turned when the door suddenly opened and his steps halted.

"Welcome, my lord!"
