Meeting the count again

After leaving the store, I immediately went to find Nicole to talk about something.

When she heard the request that I had, she couldn't help knitting her brows and revealing an ugly expression.

After she finished hearing my request, she looked at me and asked, "My lord, are you serious about this?"

I just responded with a simple nod.

Nicole knitted her brows even more when she heard this. Then she said, "My lord, do you know what the consequences of doing something like this is?"

I gave another nod without saying anything.

The two of us just stared at each other after this.

Nicole tried to stare me down with her glare, but it didn't work in the end.

So without a choice, she gave a sigh and said, "Do what you want then."

The look on her face made it clear that she had resigned to accepting this as fate. She would just let me do what I wanted and see how it turned out.
