Chapter 7 - The Female Lead's Older Brother

"Who are you?" Someone asked from behind. Meian slowly turned around to the sudden intruder.

"I am no one of importance -

The intruder had a midnight blue hair that kinda shined because of the light emitting from the nearest lamp post.

to waste your time Sir Tobias." Meian added.

"You are stepping on the duke's property that is off limits for guest.

"Oh pardon me sir, I just went for a stroll and got lost."

His alarmed facial expression soften, now with a knowing look.

"I advised miss to return to the banquest hall."

"And I will be. Would this gentlemen be so kind to escort me back." Daring, Meian asked.

"I shall, Miss?"

"Reian of Latrell."

"Miss Reian." and so they walked back.

Tobias is the oldest child and heir of the Arches Dukedom. The female lead and him could be mistaken as a twin according to the novel's illustration.

"Can't wait to meet her." Meian thought, happily skipping while also trying not to lagged behind Tobias.

"Sir Tobias can I ask a question?" Meian interrupted the silence after a few minutes.

"You already asked one." Well, isnt he sarcastic?

"I hope Im not offending you with this question since it's a bit private."

"Let's hear it first then, before I judge."

"If you say so." Now sporting with a smile of mischief, Meian asked with no shame. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Huh?" Tobias immediately turned to her direction.

"Did I hear it correctly, Girlfriend? Why do you ask such thing."

"My question before yours Sir Tobias, you havent yet answered."

Pretending to cough, Tobias resumed his stance.

"Well arent you quite bol- "Daring" Meian interrupted.

-quite daring." he continued. Meian fasten her pace to match his.

"I am with no one." he quietly said.

"Right, still single. A pity." the last sentence was said weakly. Daring to being cheeky, Meian switched naturally.

"Yes, I am." he whisphered.

Meain would like to tease him more since his expression is fun to look at but then remembered that this man is the successor of the dukedom. She literally dont want to have a bad blood with Tobias despite her curiosity to his love life, she still want to keep her head intact.

"Why is Miss Reian intrigued abou-

"Anyhow - Meian interrupted again.

can this humble persom share her own opinion?" She walked ahead as she already sees the door towards the banquet and spoke.

"You know your quite the looker, definitely my type but boring. Boring is a meh, a major no no in life. A piece of advise Sir Tobias, YOLO."

She looked back and sees Tobias shocked expression and stop on her tracks. Meian did a rock and roll hand sign and repeated again.

"Don't forget sir Tobias, YOLO, Peace out."

"YOLO?" Sir Blue mutters to his self.

"What is YOLO, Miss Rei- before he could asked, he saw Meian making a dash towards the door.

He never felt so confused, he shook his head " What an odd fellow." he concluded, dismissing the childish behavior of the 15 year old Meian

Maybe because of curiosity or pity coming from the novel's spoiler where the future duke never married and live a lone life that Meian dared asked and advised, who knows the MC is indeed an odd fellow.

At some point...

Tobias asked the family butler while arranging a document.

"Orson, have you heard the word YOLO?"

"YOLO? I haven't young master. Why have you asked? Is it something important? I could tasked some me-"

"No no, it's nothing of importance Orson." Tobias cut off.
