His Highness’ Secret Accountant

Chapter 299

So, it was natural for the loyal Mason to feel anxious.

His master, who didn't lack anything, was being left without an answer

No matter how good of a person Count Serdian was, it was something unacceptable.

"What will you do if the Count doesn't allow it? With Your Highness' temper, are you going to bring Miss Ayla by force? Gosh, I'm sure you will."

""

"I'm sure you'll just wait. Like dry firewood. The queen's seat will remain empty, and the people will assume that there is something else wrong with Your Highness."

"Mason"

"For example, whether you're into sodomy, or you're a eunuch"

"What, what did you say? Sodomy? Eunuch?"

"Exactly! A eunuch! Even if I die, I have to tell you this. Since I am Your Highness' loyal subject! Honestly, isn't it like that? He received a nice mansion and then pretended to have nothing to do with it. Count Serdian, he doesn't look like that but he's very calculative."

Mason panted and glared at Theon.

His gaze seemed to be calling him pathetic.

Theon frowned and thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"Get ready."

"?"

"Get ready. I have to go to the Count's mansion."

"There is someone you need to meet before that."

"Someone I need to meet?"

"He should be arriving"

Mason, who was staring at the clock hand, naturally turned his gaze to the door and didn't have to wait long.

Knock, knock, knock.

With a knock, the door to the office opened. At the same time, a shallow sigh came out of Theon's mouth.

"The Secretary Louis Daniel greets His Highness the Crown Prince."

"How have you been?"

"Fine. Well As you can see."

Louis said, smiling.

One side of his chest tingled as he looked at his pale face.

He must have had a hard time, seeing that he even lost his complexion.

The man in front of him, who was always too mature for his age, was admirable, yet sad.

"I heard you didn't go to the mansion I arranged for you?"

"Ah I had something to tell you about that, so I came to you despite being disrespectful."

"Tell me comfortably."

"I'm going to leave the Stellen Kingdom."

After hesitating for a long time, Louis bit his lips and replied.

Theon's heavy gaze quietly turned to Louis and asked silently.

Why did he make that choice.

"To tell you the truth I'm not confident enough to live here."

Louis closed his eyes tightly with a strenuous breath. No matter the reason, he had lost all his family.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that it was hard. Theon's gaze narrowed as he looked at Louis.

"Do you have a plan?"

"I'm thinking of going near the border. If I get a chance, I want to go to another country."

"What about your companion?"

"She's with me. I came to you so that you wouldn't worry. I think I should say my final goodbye to Your Highness."

Louis' smiling eyes had become wet at some point.

His wide shoulders were full of unseen burdens.

He hoped his mind could be at ease

Looking at him, Theon gave a small nod.

At the same time, Theon's hand turned to the large side table next to him.

Rustle, rustle.

After searching for a long time, Theon's fingers reemerged.

With a thud, a box covered in red silk was placed on the desk.

Theon's gaze slowly turned to the man in front of him.

Soon, his charming voice echoed through the quiet interior.

"This is my donation. Whenever your mind is at peace, make sure to come back."

Because he'll be waiting.

After he finished speaking, the corners of Theon's mouth went up in a line.

***

Theon's face stiffened uncharacteristically when he got out of the carriage.

It was quite amusing to see him adjusting his tie and handkerchief and repeatedly moving his lips.

"Ahem, are you very nervous?"

Mason, who had gotten out first, narrowed his eyes and asked.

Despite Theon's threatening gaze, he had no intention of lowering the corners of his mouth, which had risen playfully.

"You're cool enough. So, stop fiddling with that damn tie."

"W-When did I!"

"All the way to the Count's residence. No, from the moment you got into the carriage."

Theon cleared his throat at Mason's honest words.

The dry lips he kept moistening and anxiously shaking gray eyes showed how nervous he was.

"Tell me when you're ready. I'll knock on the door then"

""

Theon frowned and glared at Mason.

Pouting his lips at the stinging gaze he gave him, Mason approached the entrance to the Count's mansion.

***

"Sir, a visitor has arrived."

"A visitor?"

Count Serdian's gaze turned to Elin, who was standing in front of the door.

Despite him tilting his head and asking for answers, Elin only gave a faint smile and spared her words.
