There was anger in his voice, but Temuran shook his head calmly.

�No, I am also shocked that Shirone, a contract worker, managed to befriend the youngest young master. But as a deputy butler, I�m only telling the truth.�

This split the sides a bit.

Bischoff was the only one who insisted on punishing Shirone, and even he, who was the Lord, could not ignore the rest of the family�s opinion.

After all, he became the Lord for his family.

Rian let loose a breath as the tension left his body, and Shirone�s expression as well seemed a bit lighter.

�I cannot approve.�

Klumph made the final decision.

�Father.�

�Grandfather!�

Bischoff and Rian shouted at the same time, but the reason why they called out were polar opposites.

�I understand that they recognize each other as friends. But it ends now. If the relationship continues, rumors will eventually spread and this might become a weakness for the political opponents to snatch and use against us. It is not good for Rian�s future either. So just think that you guys built enough of those good memories together, and end the relationship here. I think that�s the right thing to do.�

On the one hand, Reina was disappointed with her grandfather. But on the other hand, she also understood why.

Family matters were important. In fact, they were more important than anything else.

The family members were still active on duty, and above all, Rai had his certified exam coming up.

It was their natural duty to get rid of any room for political strife.

�He should be grateful that he even gets to keep his life!�

But Rian�s thinking was different.

Klumph responded with a bright smile to his youngest grandson, whose eyes burnt with hostility.

�I see you�ve got pretty splendid energy, Rian�

Although he understood the feelings of his grandson, who was the apple of his eyes, a lot of lives were at stake.

No one objected to Klumph�s opinion. The decision seemed to have been made by the looks of it.

�Shirone, what do you think? I would like to thank you for teaching my naive grandson true friendship, but can you end it here? It�s hard for nobles and commoners to be friends.�

Shirone, who thought about it for a moment, spoke.

�I can�t do that.�

His unexpected answer shook not only Bischoff, but also Reina and Rai. JrNovels.com
