Chapter 7- Friend or Foe

A few weeks have past after the incident in the Florentia Manor and Baron Florentia haven't said anything to anyone. He also brought back the 5,000,000 gold coins that he stole from the Kingdom and he said that he will returned the rest next week so I suppose that's alright even he promise that he will keep his mouth shout from this day forward.

[Damn I guess I can't kill him yet because I still can use him in the future, and now that I take care of him then it must also affect Angeline future because base of my understanding Baron Florentia also affect Angeline for her to be like this then if Baron Florentia is now quiet that means that I already elliminate one of her villainess arc factor]

As I'm thinking that I'm in my carage because I'm heading today to the Hendrickson Manor to attend Nicolas birthday party, I left Selena and Sir Rohan to take care of the mansion while I'm gone and I just bring one of the butler in our mansion named Lucas Hogards.

Lucas Hogards is the son of one of the maids of my father when he was still a child and he accepted Lucas as a butler.

"Thank u for joining me today Lucas" I said as a smile.

"Not at all My Lord, I'm also grateful to be able to join you today My Lord" He said.

One hour later we arrive at the manor in time. As we arrive we have been welcomed by Nicolas and his three older brothers - Jerome Hendrickson, Fredrick Hendrickson, and George Hendrickson.

Jerome Hendrickson is the 4th son of Baron Hendrickson to his second wife, he has a redish blue hair and hazel eyes.

Fredrick Hendrickson is the 5th son of Baron Hendrickson to his first wife, he has red hair like his father and green eyes like his mother.

George Hendrickson is the 6th son of Baron Hendrickson to his second wife, he has both red hair like his father and hazel eyes.

And lastly, Nicolas Hendrickson is the 8th son of Baron Hendrickson to his third wife, he has redish brown hair and red eyes like his mother.

"Raphael you arrive!" Nicolas said cheerfully

[ I never thought Nicolas could be this cheerful. In the game he always been very serious and mysterious even when he was with Raphael]

"Happy Birthday Nicolas" I said as I handed him my gift.

"Thank you Raphael!" He said

"Your welcome Nicolas" I said with a smile

[ He is like rabbit with that expression]

"Who is this Raphael?" He asked as he notice Lucas beside me.

"I forgot to introduce you to my butler" I said

"No need My Lord, I'm Lucas Hogards and I'm Young Lord Raphael butler" he said as he smile to Nicolas.

"I-I'm Nicolas Hendrickson! Nice to meet you!" He said nervously.

[ How come this adorable little rabbit become such a stupid Male Lead in the future]

As me and Nicolas are talking one of his brother came in and interupted our conversation

"Happy birthday Nicolas and who is this?" he asked

"The name Raphael Sara Stuart" I introduce myself as he was stunned to my introduction.

"Oh Sorry for the late introduction but I'm Felix Hendrickson, It's my pleasure to see you here My Lord" he said as he raised his hand to give a handshake.

[ I already knew you, you idiot]

"Nice to meet you too Sir Felix" As I take his hand.

This is Felix Hendrickson, he is the 3rd son of Baron Hendrickson to his first wife, and he has the same red hair amd the same brown eyes like Baron Hendrickson. In the game he only appered twice and that is in Nicolas birthday event and him reporting to the Male Leads about Angeline kidnapping Charlotte.

"Pardon my interuption but I have to talk to my brother a bit" He said but I can sense a bit of trouble from him.

"Sorry Raphael m-maybe I'll talk to you later and enjoy the party for a while" Nicolas said but I can sense that something is wrong to this scene.

"It's fine, take your time" I said as I watch both Felix and Nicolas leave.

"You Master there seems to be something suspicious about the kid" Lucas warned me.

You notice that too, huh"

[What is going on here?!?!]

After a few minutes I said to Lucas that I'll be going to use the restroom for a moment then as I was thinking of going back to the party I looked around for a moment to go to the hallway then when I was in there I notice Felix talking to someone in all black clothes that I seems to be very familiar with, It's very suspicious for me but I don't know who and where. I stay for a while then I saw Nicolas arrive shaking in fear as he stood still then I heard Felix talking about something but I didn't hear all of it clearly as I notice both of them coming back in the party I quickly run fast to the party and pretended that I didn't saw nothing. When I arrive Lucas seems very concerned about me then later I saw Nicolas but something wrong with him, his expression is not the same as before, his cheerful expression turn to a cold and serious expression and nothing else.
