Chapter 144
Mysterious Love. Mysterious Person (1)
Aiden walked down the street before the sun set for the first time in a long time. In addition to taking off his mask and hood and showing his bare face.
Considering his usual disinclination, it was a very ceremonial thing. Dr. Kilix said, chattering after him.
“Master.”
“I didn’t tell you to call the Grand Duke outside.”
“Isn’t that a nightmare for both sides?”
“Then call me Ray.”
Because of his master, who told him to call the name of the Grand Duke with a simple face, Kylix’s face was still a rotten potato today.
Whether it’s a Grand Duke or a Master, the title wasn’t really important. His appearance was just as noticeable wherever he went. That’s why there are no people at this time of day, just as miracles have happened on the streets that should be crowded.
Not only bad-looking gangsters but also those who appear to be vicious criminals were slowly avoiding them, so it was only painful to say how high his notoriety was.
“Is this the only way to hide who you are?”
Kilix grumbled, chasing Aiden, who only picked out deserted alleys to go in.
Even if it is known publicly that the Black Grand Duke was actually the owner of the 23rd District and the Underworld, people will not be willing to do so. Rather, he would ask who else would take control of the lawless land.
Of course, it will not be a hassle for the Grand Duke if the identity was revealed.
Aiden paused at his words.
“You don’t mean to ask me seriously.”
Such a pathetic question was asked that he could not see the value of answering. On the expression of what a fool he was, Kilix struggled to control his emotional anger.
He didn’t ask out of curiosity. He was just frustrated with Aiden’s behavior despite all kinds of notoriety. He clapped his tongue and grumbled.
“It’s a complaint. Because the Master I serve is a man who is indifferent to this world.”
“That’s funny. Keep that in your diary.”
“You’re joking, and you look strangely happy.”
If you’ve been so arrogant, it’s time to get serious. Perhaps something really happy happened, but Aiden pulled up his mouth without saying anything and stopped walking in front of the flower shop.
Then he crossed his arms and began to choose flowers without saying anything with more serious eyes than anyone else. One might think he’s picking a sword to take to the battlefield.
“Did you come all the way here to pick your own flowers? Why didn’t you make others do it?”
It was so ridiculous that he ended up muttering.
“I just wanted to.”
Even though he was bothered by each and every one of them, the answer returned meekly, and Kilix opened his mouth.
“Something good must have happened…”
“The thing that bothered her will soon be removed, so all that is left of her, is her heart.”
“………”
He retorted after a brief silence.
“Keep in mind the rest of the deceased…”
“Don’t beg me, I didn’t kill you.”
“Did you do something similar?”
“I didn’t.”
At this point, he thought a life-threatening word would come out, but the return reply is sweet. It wasn’t even a quibbling killer, but Aiden’s condition was too mild.
From the moment he came looking for a doctor with a rarely pale face because of Vivian’s sudden fall, the quick-witted Kilix also expected this to some extent. It looks like he’s fallen hard.
But the difference between anticipating and seeing in person was immense. It was as if he saw a lion running to his trainer and rubbing his whole body and acting cute.
Looking for flowers, it seems that the young lady is awake, right?
Kilix paid a moment’s attention to the florist’s restlessness, unable to come out of the store and leave the store.
He seemed to be worried about what kind of mess the Black Grand Prince would make in the store.
The doctor sighed and told Aiden what kind of flowers were usually used in his visit to the hospital, and returned after holding some gold coins to the shopkeeper. The store owner’s eyes were wide open for the amount of money left to sell all the flowers that were out today.
He was stunned without saying a word and bowed his head, holding his money tight. At the least not bothered, Kilix returned to his master’s side with confidence.
Aiden was still wondering what flowers to buy.
“…..”
He thought he’d changed a lot recently.
“I was wondering why you brought me here. I think you’re going to choose a present for the lady.”
“Well, that’s right. Because I want to look good. You don’t know things like this very well.”
He gently replied and lifted a light purple stream of flowers resembling Vivian’s eyes. The bouquet was a type of wild flower that was not used well, but it looked like a small lily in full bloom.
Kilix glanced at it and added that the flower’s name was Mist, meaning mysterious love, good news, and fate from heaven.
“I thought you only looked at the resemblance to the color of your eyes, but they also have good meaning. It’s a fate from heaven.”
“You’re good at choosing things like that. Do you see the goose bumps on my forearm?”
“I know what it is. It’s meant to be from heaven. I look forward to good news.”
