Chapter 104

"Umm..., but why did you choose me as the first person to use it? I am still a child so wouldn't they not care about what happened in my appearance." Ludger said as he tilted his head cutely.

"Ugh...what is this cute creature? The makeup sure makes it more deadly!" Aqila said while using her hand to prevent the blood from flowing out from her nose.

"...Mr. Favian, your girlfriend is...is that alright?" Ludger asked as he wanted Favian to stop Aqila.

"Hmmm... Teacher, I just learned something new. I only thought that makeup was something similar to hiding your true face like a mask before. But looking at your face now, I realized that it could help people to highlight their true beauty. It also makes you look more healthier." Favian said as he carefully looked at Ludger's current face.

"You are right, it will change the view that men should not use makeup to show their masculinity or that they need to show their real face to show how manly they are. But this kind of makeup able to make someone who lack of sleep or is too tired of his normal face when they go to important meetings or formal party." Hugo said while nodding his head.

"Did you mean I look tired before the makeup? Hey, why don't you tell me before? No wonder my Mom and Brother Winslow become naggy lately. I know I have worked a lot lately after joining the guilds and helping him with something and helping the work in Red Dawn restaurant..." Ludger started to think about how busy he had been lately.

'Are you really a twelve-year-old boy, Teacher/Master Ludger?' All the people in the laboratory look at Ludger who is busy thinking about the reason for two people who are currently at him.

Ludger had been busy lately because of the work that he gets after the promised two years that he told all of the guild masters in this city before. Even in the end, he only publicly accepts two invitations from the adventurer guild and the alchemy guild. But he also accepts the merchant guild invitation with Hugo's help with a fake identity as 'Nero'. But because of making the fake identity, he was forced to ask for some help from the Duke.

The current Duke Kadaklan, Kismet asked for some help with making some designs for armour and weapons for the city guard and knight and also about the reinforcement for the city wall. Ludger try his best to remember about such things from his past life memories and does it until late at night. Ludger seems to forget everything when he is too focused on his work like in his past life. But even no one said anything to urge him to finish his work qquickly, he kept pushing himself to finish his work as quickly as possible. 

"Look at the time, didn't you say that you need to go back before lunchtime, Master Ludger?" Hugo reminds Ludger about his promise to Winslow. 

"What a wonderful love between sworn brothers! How wonderful for them to care about each other like that and how close their relationship is! Will their relationship become like what is written in that book? I wish I would be able to keep watching their interactions." Aqila mutters in a small voice.

Ludger tried to ignore her who had drowned in her wild imagination as he wanted to go back to Red Dawn restaurant, but sadly the two of them followed him and Hugo. They followed them to the Red Dawn restaurant with the pretext of seeing the other reactions who saw Ludger's makeup.

Of course, it turned into a big fuss when he arrived at the Red Dawn restaurant. Not only the female customers but also the male customers who get mesmerized by Ludger beauty. Some people even rub their eyes or slap their faces to make sure that they are not dreaming. Some of them even have nosebleeds or gulp their saliva because they were too surprised by his beauty. 

"Hehe. What do you think about the makeup that I applied on Master Ludger's face? It highlights his beauty and it able to make him to show his best appearance all the time. Don't you all think that makeup is also needed by men?" Aqila suddenly said with a proud tone.

"What!? That's foul! If Lord Ludger get more beautiful than usual, I will have a defeated feeling. But at the same time I want to keep watching his current appearance." One of the female customers said with a complicated emotion in her tone.

"No, no, no. Sir Ludger should be together with Sir Winslow! Don't you dare to underestimate the beauty of such brotherly love!!!" Another customer angrily said.

"No, Lord Ludger said before that he loved us equally before!" Another customer said.

"As except from the Young Master, he always make people surprised when he come back." Ancelina said with admiring expression.

"Hahaha, it was more chaotic than usual because of your makeup! What if you also get dressed like a knight or noble?" Darius laughed as he saw the troubled expression on Ludger's face.

"Mr. Darius, how could you said that! But I never thought that the makeup would be able to highlight that child's beauty like this." Katarina said while looking at Ludger's face carefully.

"I'm home. As promised, I have back before the lunchtime. Oh right, Mr. Darius, I need to talk about something with you later. I will help in the kitchen." Ludger said and quickly ran to the kitchen.

"It was unexpected for him to run away like that." Ancelina's little brother, Hespero said with a surprised expression by Ludger's action. 

"But Lord Ludger beauty is basically a lethal weapon." Winslow's little sister, Amelia said while admiring Ludger beautiful appearance. 

"He might feel embarrassed because of those embarrassing words that everyone said to him. I would do the same thing if I was in his position." Winslow's little brother, Andrew seriously said.

"I you are dreaming, you better go back to your bed! How could you compare yourself to Lord Ludger?! You are not even able to compare yourself to our elder brother! Don't say something that will make me embarrassed as your twin." Amelia angrily said to her twin brother.

"Hey, our face is quite similar because we are twins If you mock my appearance, doesn't it mean that you are mocking yourself?" Andrew refutes Amelia's words.

"Both of you stop it! Do you want to be scolded by the three of them later?" Ancelina reminded them to not make them notice their quarrel.

It was something that everyone working in this place knew as common knowledge to never anger three people in this Red Dawn restaurant. The first person is Caron the owner of the Red Dawn restaurant. She was the person who let them work and live in this place. The second person is Katarina who always helps them after they arrive in this city. The last one is Winslow who cooks most of their meals and subdues their stomachs with his cooking. 

"Even Master Ludger who is respected by everyone in this city didn't dare to make them angry." Bensen said as he nodded his head, agreeing with Ancelina's words.

"But Lord Ludger often make them angry with his reckless act lately, right? Could it be it was what the fan members call attention seeking?!" Idana add.

"But Lord Ludger is really beautiful with the makeup!" Shanida said while blushing. 

Ancelina felt as if she was being tortured as she had to suppress her laughter to make sure no one knew Ludger's true identity even it was their family members. When she arrived in this city, she never thought that her Young Miss would turn into be Young Master. But the funniest thing was how he was loved by everyone and became famous if it was being compared with the previous (real) identity. But Ancelina like the current identity because that person is able to live happily than before.

'I think Mr. Winslow also have similar thoughts.' Ancelina looking at the direction of the kitchen for few seconds before continuing her work.

At that time, Ludger decided to hide himself in the kitchen but his appearance surprised the people who currently working in the kitchen. Of course, they were surprised because Ludger looked more beautiful with the makeup.

"Do you actually like to put makeup on your face?" Winslow asked while carefully looking at Ludger.

"Brother Winslow, how could you make such conclusion?" Ludger said with dissatisfied tone.

"But it looks good on you, Lil Ludger. How about you put on some makeup more often? Maybe it will make more customers come to see you." Caron added with a smile.

"Can I politely refuse that order, Owner?" Ludger ask while acting as if he was pleading.

"Although I want to said that it was an order that you must do, but it was actually just a request. Your mother will get angry if I order you to do that." Caron said while raising her hands as if she had given up.

"I'm grateful for having such a wonderful mother. After all, my Mom is my only ally." Ludger said with a proud tone.

"I'm also happy to have a wonderful child like you. But unfortunately I agree with everyone that you should put on some makeup more often. I really like your current appearance." Katarina entered the kitchen and declared her opinion.

"I disagree because 'Ludger' will hide his condition from us with makeup like what he currently doing." Winslow finally adds his opinion. 

"You are right. It will make us have a hard time finding this child's true condition." Katarina thought for a moment and agreed with Winslow's words.

Ludger could only feel a headache as he couldn't argue with both of them.
