Chapter 42 - Ask

Merry was sitting together with Frederick and Robert.Just a moment before,Lady Darlin left them after a long conversation.

Merry's eyes were on the door, waiting for Max.

"Mylady, I've heard that you know how to speak Greek language very well." As Frederick affirmed turning towards Merry, she suddenly snapped out.

"Y-Yes.. I understand their speech and writing well but I'm not very fluent in it." Merry admitted with a simper.

"Oh wow! Mylady, that's really cool, actually my aunt also knows it since she was married there and lives with her husband and two sons." Robert as always was amazed by his ladyship's skill.

"I see..how is s-she doing?Are you in contact with your aunt ?" Merry asked in wonder.

"Yes! I used to go to her home during summers to see if she is doing well or not...If you don't mind we can go on holidays to my aunt's hometown sometime." Robert replied with a cheerful and positive composition.

"With..."Frederick added looking at Robert intently.

"Hmm...hmmm" Robert couldn't get what he meant.

"WITH." Frederick added with more emphasis.

"with commander....." Robert pouted and added Max too being completely spiritless.

Merry looked at them and giggled at their quarrels on one being complete childish honestly while another one correcting the child. They gave her a lively atmosphere at a place where she tends to be more uncomfortable.

"If you hadn't join us, we would've had more fun and a happy friendly talk..." Robert started to sulk.

"I won't let you disturb the ladyship on such trivial matters of your small business." Frederick shrugged.Robert turned and looked at Merry like a kid who was being scolded for being naughty.

" P-Please don't say like that sir Frederick, I was not disturbed." Merry felt bad for Robert.

"See... Lady is not annoyed by me but it's you." Robert bent to look at Frederick and continued.

" She has a gentle heart that is why...soon you will get on her nerve too." Frederick smirked at him.

Robert paused and stopped talking for a moment but he went on his routine and started to conversate again.

Just then a servent came to them and said.

"Lord Frederick and Lord Robert, Lord Maximilian has called for both of you urgently in the meeting hall."

"All of a sudden? And both of us?" Frederick asked in confusion while making a look at Robert and Merry.

"Y-Yes mylord." The servent nodded and added hesitantly.

" Then Robert ..you stay here with the Ladyship and I'll go check what's the matter." Frederick remarked while getting up from his chair.The servent looked around and couldn't say anything else.She led him to the hall.

"This way mylord." She started to go upstairs in complete darkness due to conjusted area and asked Frederick to follow her.

Frederick looked outside the window while climbing the stairs, the weather appeared as if it was going to rain soon.

"Here we are,mylord, from here, you can go to the main room directly." As soon as she said,she hastily looked the steel grill forcibly from outside when Frederick entered the entrance of a spacious room inside the steel door.

"Hey?! What the hell do you think you're doing?! Come back! Open this shit!!!" Frederick rebuked uncontrollably and clenched the door to open it.The servent ran from their quickly.

"Damn it!!" Frederick started to strike the steel door,but it only gave painful bruises.
