Don't Be There
Reporter
Such huge twist and turns!
Reporter
The marriage between Lady Lesley Franches Emsley, and the City of Astrid’s vice and heir, Levin Florence Astrid, is broken off
Reporter
Subsequently, the two sole heir of Emsley and Astrid city is…engaged?!
Reporter
What an intriguing and controversial matter!
Reporter
What about the main goal of this treaty?
Reporter
Two men may have dumplings dropped on their plates but definitely not an offspring
Reporter
Nonethless, the only way to make this possible is by means of scientific process
Reporter
Even so, the public is unconvinced!
Reporter
Two of the city lords have not officially confirmed the matter of the engagement by these two men
Reporter
Consequently, many rumors have circulated throughout the nation like a wild crossfire
Reporter
Was the heir of Emsley, Noé Emsley and City vice and heir of Astrid, Levin Florence Astrid, rebel against the will of this treaty out of their passion, or was there a deeper reason within the roots of these patrician families?
Kythe
There’s not a damn thing to watch
Kythe
[look softens] Are you sure you’re feeling okay?
Noé
… I’m fine, don’t worry about it
Kythe
Do you wanna come hang out with?
Kythe
Our restaurant has new menus I think you would like
Noé
[shake head] It’s okay, Kythe
Noé
I don’t know what to feel
Kythe
[pat his head] There, there
Kythe
Ha? [blush] O-Of course! In fact, you can do it without asking
Noé
[hugs him] I know I could always count on you
Kythe
…Of course, so don’t hesitate to come to me when something’s bothering you
Kythe
[heart jumping in joy]
Kythe
You can stay how long you want
Kythe
This is nothing, Noé
Kythe
…What are… friends for right?
Noé
[A holographic notification pings up from his watch] !
Levin
“If you seen this, I’m calling you”
Noé
[holographic miniature screen appears of someone calling, ringing]
Noé
(If I screw this up, the treaty might get cancelled)
Noé
(I can’t take that risk…)
Noé
[taps the accept button]
Levin
Noé… [cold face turns to a tender expression but his worry is still apparent]
Levin
(I finally see his face after two days)
Noé
[waiting for him to speak]
Levin
I want to apologize for hiding the engagement from you
Levin
I hid it because I knew you weren’t ready to know it
Noé
What? Are you saying you’re planning to hide it till my sister is walking down the aisle?
Noé
You know what… You are such a jerk!
Noé
There I said it… [agitated tone]
Levin
Noé… please don’t be mad at me…
Noé
Apologize to my sister…
Noé
What would she feel after finding out her fiancé is suddenly engaged with her brother?
Levin
I want us to talk again, this time calmly
Levin
Can I come to your house later?
Noé
I’m not coming [grumpy look]
Noé
It’s not your business
Levin
Is it Kythe’s house?
Levin
Noé… don’t be there, please…
