BXBX NOVEL Chapter 565 - 13.63
"No! I refuse to listen!" Jean kept denying it, and then he walked towards Matthew. Jean hugged Matthew\'s arm tightly and challenged his Fiancee, "I love Angel, but I also treasure Matthew! He is my best friend!"
Matthew was stunned when Young Master Jean claimed that he was his best friend so boldly in front of his Fiancee.
Matthew always taught of himself as lesser than anyone in Young Master Jean\'s life, so it was surprising that he would take a stance and defend him instead.
"Young Master?" Matthew asked. "Are you sure?"
"Hm?" Jean darted his eyes at Matthew and smiled, "Of course! We are best friends! Even if Angel is my Fiancee, he has no right to kick you out!"
"Young Master…" Matthew saw the deep trust in Jean\'s eyes. There was never a doubt in him. It was true that Young Master Jean was naive and had such pure good-hearted nature.
Because he couldn\'t even see the looming darkness in Matthew\'s heart.
Matthew silently dispersed the dark dagger he had created and smiled at Jean, "Young Master… thank you…."
"Un!"
[Holy shit, that was close!]
[Pupa: Matthew really planned to kill Raphael with that dark dagger, what a scary kid.]
[I can\'t let him kill Raphael, but I also can\'t call him out on that. He will definitely get expelled or even jailed for cultivating dark magic.]
Yunyu noticed the dark dagger behind Matthew\'s back when he was eyeing Raphael\'s heart and had to take swift action before the worst thing could happen.
Raphael bit his lower lip. He didn\'t know what to do when Jean was blatantly defending someone like Matthew.
Raphael might not be able to see Matthew\'s magic, but something was definitely off about him. However, Jean was too much of a naive, pure-hearted kid to realize the danger looming around him.
"You, what is your magic? How did you pass the exam test?" Raphael asked, wanting to make sure.
"This one has earth magic, Your Holiness," Matthew said.
"Show me."
Matthew smiled and then pointed his finger at the flowerpot on the table. The flowerpot shook for a moment before exploding. Matthew shaped the dirt inside the flowerpot into a doll with the flower on its head as decoration.
Jean was the first one to clap his hands, "Wow! That\'s so cuteee!"
[Holy crap! He has earth magic?! I thought he has a dark one!]
[Pupa: Maybe he develops earth magic.]
[You can do that?]
[Pupa: Not exactly… but he is the main character, just say the author gave him plot armor.]
[Hmph! What a spicy chicken author!]
…
Saint Raphael thought that he could check this guy\'s real power after he confronted him. But things got even more confusing as he showed a real form of earth magic.
Now that Jean was on that guy\'s side, he couldn\'t do anything to kick him out.
All he could do right now was observe over Jean, hoping that nothing bad would happen to him while he was living with this suspicious guy.
After all, the butterfly hairpin would protect Jean from serious danger, so by the moment he arrived, nothing grievous would happen to Jean if things really went awry.
"Jean, come here," Raphael ordered.
"NO! Angel is mean!" Jean persisted. "I will not hug you until you allow me to stay with Matthew!"
"… Fine, but come here first," Raphael agreed.
Thus, Jean finally released Matthew\'s arm and walked towards his Fiancee. He was a bit scared that Raphael would scold him like his Big brother did whenever Jean did something naughty or mischievous.
Raphael pulled Jean\'s hand and engulfed Jean\'s body in his embrace. He put his hands on Jean\'s waist and then kissed his lips gently.
Jean was too shocked to react, so he accepted the kiss from his Fiancee, Raphael, and passively catered to Raphael\'s advances. It took a while until Jean started struggling, especially after realizing that Matthew was still in the room.
Meanwhile, Raphael kept kissing Jean\'s ruddy lips while glancing at Matthew a few times, taunting him that Jean was his, and nobody shouldn\'t dare to harm his beautiful fairy.
"Mmmh... A—Angel, Matthew is still here," Jean refused another kiss and tried to push Raphael away.
Raphael chuckled and pinched Jean\'s chin, "Are you getting embarrassed? You\'re my Fiancee, you know that, right?"
"Well, yes… but I\'m still underaged! I can\'t marry you yet!" Jean shook his head. "No more touchy-touchy until we marry!"
Raphael chuckled, "Just one more year, and we will marry. I will take you with me to travel the land. You\'ll see many wonders of the world."
"Uwaa, that sounds great! I\'ve always wanted to travel in a distant place, but Big brother won\'t let me!" Jean complained.
"Then, you will go with me, right?"
"Of course! Angel is my Fiancee!"
[Pupa: Ding! Raphael De Argent\'s Fatemeter increases to 65%.]
Raphael was satisfied with Jean\'s answer. He knew that Jean was still the same naive pure-hearted Fiancee of his. Throughout his teenage years, Jean flirted with so many men and women, but never once Raphael felt threatened by it.
He knew that Jean was loved by his adopted brother, Maximillien, and his knight, Wolf.
But Raphael was still the official Fiancee and soon-to-be-married spouse for Jean anyway.
But there was something about that kid, Matthew. He could instantly conclude that Matthew was in love with Jean, but his love for Jean was slightly different…
Raphael could feel the maliciousness inside Matthew\'s heart for some reason, even though his sin showed zero.
"Well, I have to leave now. Remember, you are always under my protection. You can always call me if you need something, just use the golden butterfly, okay?"
"Okay! Don\'t worry, I will do good in the Academy! Do you know that people clapped because I\'m too awesome on the entrance test?" Jean claimed proudly.
Raphael chuckled and ruffled Jean\'s pink hair, "Of course, Jean is the best after all."
After a few more talks, Raphael went out and disappeared from the room. Jean looked at Matthew, who was still standing at the same position awkwardly. He was dazed, but not in a good way.
Jean cleared his throat. He was embarrassed that Matthew had to see him kissing his Fiancee. He didn\'t understand why Raphael did it so suddenly either,
"U—Un… Matthew that is Saint Raphael. I call him Angel because he is my Fiancee. I hope you understand that he can be a bit overbearing sometimes. But he has such a good heart!"
"Good heart, huh?" Matthew scoffed, full of contempt. Matthew knew that Raphael also had obsessiveness towards Jean. In fact, all of them, including Archduke Maximillien and Wolf, had obsessions towards Jean.
But Jean was just too oblivious to realize that he had many people around him, including Matthew.
When Matthew saw Raphael kissing Jean passionately, his heart was burning with jealousy. Especially when Jean didn\'t seem to fight and just catered to what Raphael wanted.
It made Matthew realized that he was miles away from ever reaching Jean.
\'Jean will never see me more than just a best friend if I keep being the same pushover. I need to do something, anything as long as I can get him.
\'Screw playing gentle. I will do it my own way.\'
