force him now at his rebellious age?." ,
"i mean all he wanted is your attention your highness, he will do what ever you ask him but in return, will you hear his side and consider his feelings?"
"he is an stubborn child, i don't want him to die in an early age. Many nobles are asking for his hand in marriage. I will listen to him but i can't guaranty his freedom.."
"his life in exchange of hundreds of thousands of people in this kingdom, i cannot choose him over those people.."
Kamui look at the lonely back of the person he admires ever since childhood. He shoulders the burden of the kingdom. Its future lay on his hands.
"please stay beside him and guide him in my stead Kamui... you may leave"
"i will your highness!.."

Rewind: before the emperor ordered Kamui the list of prospect candidates for Lenards marriage
While sitting under the shade of the tree "say Lenard, "
"hmm?"
Looking at his friend "what are you planning to do now?"
"about what?"
"what my foot!.. im talking about your marriage"
His eyes finally looking at Kamui "what about it?"
"you.. didn't know.. that his highness the emperor has ordered me to get or rather write a list of single ladies on the kingdom for you to marry?"
"no..i didn't know that.. im at the kingdom of Grayscale for a few weeks and i only just came back today"
"wait.. you are my butler so how come you didn't mention anything about it before?"
"have you forgotten that since you came back, this is the first time we meet?"
"ah right, im sorry" "about your question, i don't know. Even if i decline do you think father will listen?"
Shaking his head he said "nope, probably n-o-t... So really, do you have any plan?."
"how about you escape?"
"hell no!. I cant do that, i don't want to ruin my fathers name"
"and now you are worried about your fathers name?. Why don't you just pick one and marry her and then everything will go back to where it was. The only change is that you are finally a married man hehe"
Glaring intensely at his idiotic insensitive friend " look Kamui, i may have been a fucking flirt but i don't want to take responsibility and marry just anyone OK..
"hmm you finally admitted your crime"
"someone looks riled up!"
"im no fucking criminal dimwit!" and "whose fault is it?"
"yeah-yeah" Looking at his friend with his eyes closed lol... haha
Sigh "what kind of butler are you?, always piquing at your employer "
"im an honest, loyal and handsome butler/friend your highness"
Clicking his tongue "tsk! shameless"
