Chapter Nine, Untitled

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Julia paused for a moment, looking at Velak with an indescribable expression: "Good morning... brother"

"Everything is ready, Father," said Kellerman

Fortunately, Velak has a good memory, and he managed to memorize a full page of content in a short amount of time. He practiced speaking without notes several times in his room, and there were basically no issues.

Upon entering, Meila's voice suddenly became choked with emotion, and her eyes visibly reddened: "Chris, is that you, Chris?"

Kaimen and Meila responded without any unusual behavior, and then took their seats

This is a very simple choice

Understood. Velak gasped as he took the paper.

He did not feel that he had done anything wrong; at most, the lesson he learned was to adopt a more prudent approach the next time he engaged in such activities

But now, Velak revealed a hypocritical smile similar to that of Meira: "Thank you, Mother"

However, that time is still too far away, and at present, Velak cannot openly contradict Fletcher, so he trembled as he apologized to Fletcher

Soon, Kailiman and Julia also arrived at the restaurant

Afterward, no one mentioned a word, and everyone maintained a somewhat uncomfortable silence as they leisurely ate their breakfast.

I apologize, madam, he is merely someone from the city of Zward who bears a striking resemblance to Master Chris

This content is two months old, and such details are no longer clear to Velak, requiring a re-memorization

At this moment in his previous life, Velak was truly moved by this simple sentence from Meira. At that time, he was consumed by jealousy, desperately wishing that he was indeed Chris

The family has gathered, and the servants are setting up breakfast

Villac and Fletcher exchanged a glance and followed Mela to her room

"Do not overexert yourself, take care of your health, and rest early every day," Meila said with a kind expression as she looked at Velak.

Not long after, Kamein and Meira arrived

Upon hearing these words, Meila could not help but cover her face and burst into tears

After Fletcher left, Velak began to recite the contents of the paper.

Villac stood up and said: "Father, Mother, good morning"

Villac cannot possibly stand by and watch Nord and Dempsey be confined in the hotel for two months, only to be plotted against and die alongside him. He must quickly find a way to get them out and arrange for them to be by his side, becoming his support. After all, being alone is still too weak.

As Velak was about to leave, Meira called out to him: "Chris, Fletcher, come to my room for a moment"

Nord and Dempsey, according to his memory, should currently be under house arrest in a hotel in the northern district of Lazein. There have been no opportunities to meet in recent days, and one can only wait until this busy period is over for Fletcher to finally agree to arrange a meeting for them. However, it will only be a meeting; Fletcher will not allow them to be brought back but will keep them under house arrest there until Velak loses his utility, at which point the three of them will be silenced together

This time, Velak did not get up: "Sister, Julia, good morning"

Good morning, Chris," Kellerman replied just as naturally.

Certainly, the favorability of more significant figures is more important

You. '' Fletcher grabbed Velak by the collar and pushed him against the wall in Chris's room, '' You are Velak, not Chris. Although this was done well, I do not wish to see it a second time.

Good morning, child

Villac does not wish to be overshadowed by Fletcher during his time living here. Currently, since Villac has not yet done anything out of the ordinary, the restrained butler remains composed; however, if he were to reveal his true violent nature, Villac would no longer have any good days ahead.

Understood. Velak looked utterly panicked

Fletcher glared at Velak and said, "Madam Melaf, he is not Master Chris, he is Most Velak."

"Much better, Father," Velak could only respond, continuing Kamain's words.

Villac exhaled a breath of murky air, fully aware that there were still many tasks ahead of him

In the future, Velak is bound to do more things that will displease Fletcher. At that time, Velak's justifications need not cause Fletcher to relent; he only needs to persuade himself under the pretense of becoming Lady Melah of Chris, and Fletcher will inevitably refrain from taking rash actions against him

"It's alright, thank you, child." Mrs. Melaf understood Velak's kindness, "You may go out first."

"Alright, you stay here," Fletcher had no intention of wasting time discussing this matter further with the regretful and fearful Velak. He took a piece of paper out of his pocket, "This is the content that someone will discuss with you at tonight's dinner. You need to memorize it thoroughly before the evening. There must be no stammering when the time comes; you should appear as articulate as possible"

In his previous life, Velak had almost no accomplishments, and naturally, he did not establish more connections with individuals like Kaimen and Meira, who held more influence than Fletcher. Therefore, when Fletcher insulted and abused him, no one came to his aid, and Fletcher had no reservations.

Suddenly, Velak sensed something. When he looked up to scan the others at the table, he only saw Julia quickly lowering her head, fiddling with the food on her plate using her dinner knife

"I apologize, Mr. Fletcher, I saw that Mrs. Melar was very upset, so I instinctively said that." Velak had successfully won a bit of favor from Mrs. Melar and was now not too concerned about Fletcher's displeasure

Good morning

"Kellerman, how is the preparation for tonight's dinner going?" Kamein focused on his breakfast, not turning to look at Kellerman.

"Why did you take it upon yourself to interrupt me?" After calming Mrs. Melaf, Fletcher walked down the corridor with a sullen expression

After finishing breakfast, Kaimen got up and informed Velak that he could continue to rest well today, as he had already requested a long leave for him, so there was no need to worry about work matters, and then he hurriedly left

Carmen took a sip of the white wine that the servant had just poured and casually asked, "Chris, how is your health? Have you recovered a bit?"

Mrs. Melaf's emotional breakdown was swift, but she quickly regained control of her expression. After wiping away her tears, Velak leaned in at the right moment and said apologetically, "I am very sorry, Mrs. Melaf, I just hope you feel a little better"

In this lifetime, the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Madame Melaf is right before him, and Velak would not let it slip away. Even if Fletcher would later take actions against him that are even more severe than today's warning due to his continued involvement in such matters, it would not shake Velak's resolve.

I am. " Velak interrupted Fletcher's explanation, " Mother, I am Chris.

Finding a moment of relaxation, Velak walked to the window and gazed outside, where luxurious residences stretched as far as the eye could see
