My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 83: Friends(2)

Chapter 83: Friends(2)

"I am sure the duke is very close to them. You also seemed very appreciative of them."

To Asher’s words, the duke showed a light smile before answering.

"Yeah, they have done so much for me. And they are the only friends I have. But now, I have you too."

The duke looked at Asher and said in a calm manner.

"...Me?"

"Yeah...you have done as much as they have done. You are not just a servant for me. More like a friend."

"Ah...Thank you duke. It’s my pleasure."

Asher had a really nice talk with the duke. He felt really happy and it was as if they had known each other for a very long time. It was warm and Asher felt very appreciated.

’Its weird. I like him a lot now when I was scared of him before.’

Asher was flustered.

After their talk ended, Asher left to see Miss Anne since he knew he would have to tidy up her room as all the gifts were lying around on the floor.

That guy sent gifts full of a carriage for Anne.

The duke’s friends are really nice.

Thinking about friends, he never had a friend before.

He rarely interacted with people his age since he was living distanced from others.

If it wasn’t for him going to the city with his uncle once a week or so, he might not even have the basic skills to interact with anyone as he basically grew up all alone, having no clue about being outside but excited and curious as to why they were living away from others like that.

’I hope I won’t have to go to a life like that again. Even though it feels scary to be around people, this is still better.’

He never questioned his mother or uncle and he was grateful they protected him from bad people while they could.

Yet...he would not want to live that life again, despite already having faced dangerous situations as soon as he stepped into the outside world.

How better would it be only if people were kind and considerate of everyone?

Why do they think they have the right to sell a human for coins or anything just because he is an omega?

People should not be sold at all. Not just omegas.

But...not everything can be prevented even having all the power.

People will always be greedy and sefllish for their own sake. Nothing can change their nature, so the world wouldn’t change either.

’Sigh...’

"Oh my god, miss Anne! How many sweets did you eat?!"

Asher rushed to see Miss Anne sitting on the ground, covered with little chocolate wrappers all around her.

’Did she eat it all by herself?!’

"Brother Ash wants one too?"

Anne asked with a smile as she shoved one more chocolate piece into her mouth.

"No! Miss Anne, that’s enough. You have eaten more than enough. Please keep them for later. You will get sick."

"But...One more."

Asher saw Miss Anne’s pleading look and gave in to her for only one more.

Anne excitedly ate one and stared at the rest of the chocolate in the big bottle, hesitating before again looking at Asher.

"No! No more."

"One more please."

"No no no. You are going to get sick, miss."

"Brother Ash....one more. Only one. Just one!"

"No. Please enough now. Collect all the empty wrappers and put them in the trash bin there."

"Hmph, Why are you suddenly mad?"

"I am not mad. Miss Anne, give that to me."

Asher grabbed the bottle away from her and placed it on the table before telling her to collect the empty wrappers on the floor again.

"Hmph...Brother Ash is angry with me."

Anne complained while picking up the wrappers one by one from the ground.

"I am not..."

"Yes, you are."

"No."

"You are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

Asher and Anne went on for a long time but were suddenly startled when the duke’s voice interrupted them.

"What are you two doing?"

Asher and Anne looked at him in surprise and Anne went back to collect the wrappers in front of her, trying to avoid Felix.

Asher was taken aback seeing the duke there and feared the duke would be mad since he let Anne do the work when he was there to do things for her.

Still, she should know to clean after herself.

"That’s right. If you cause the mess, clean it yourself."

Felix said with a calm expression and Anne looked at him, pouted but was relieved. Thankfully, he didn’t notice she had put half of the wrappers into the bin already. If he were to know she ate that much, she was done for. He might prohibit her from eating them tomorrow.

She wasn’t planning on eating that much either. But she got lost because they were so tasty, leading her to eat non stop until Asher came there and stopped her.

She liked these chocolates so much. So it’s hard to resist even though she knew she ate too much already. Somehow she failed to persuade brother Ash to let her eat more so finally, she had to stop.

Haha, Brother Karl always knows her favourites.

That’s why she likes him so much.

He knows her very well.

Not wanting to get caught in the act, Anne didn’t argue with Felix and obediently continued to clear up the mess on the floor.

’Hmmph! I am going to mix sugar in your tea next time.’

Anne thought to herself and laughed to herself as she imagined her br- f-father’s face tasting sweet.

’I don’t even understand how he can drink sugarless, tasteless tea. So boring.’

Anne thought and continued to clean up as the two adults watched her mumbling to herself and collecting the wrappers from the ground.

Anne didn’t know...

Her father still loved sweet things.

Sweet lips that give sweet kisses and make sweet memories.

Her brother Ash’s lips.

The almighty duke wouldn’t hesitate to go and devour those lips again and again.

That’s the only sweetness he would want to taste and crave for more ever...
