Duke Eldar was brewing his emotions and ready to tell Kieran everything, but he was almost choked by Kieran's direct rejection.
"Cough, cough."
The elderly coughed a few times and tried his best to adjust his emotions before he sized up the young man before him with a judgmental gaze.
His mature temperament had long since covered up his young face. His words and actions were almost rigid. Even though he was sitting there, his back was as straight as a javelin.
If one didn't pay attention to his face and only looked at his back, one would think he was a well-born, well-behaved middle-aged man.
However, the young man before him had the restraint that those middle-aged men didn't have!
Just look at the room before him.
Any young man with the slightest bit of ability would not live in such a room.
Not to mention those who came from good families.
They might be kind and humble during normal times, but the arrogance hidden in their eyes was innate.
However, the arrogance hidden in his eyes was something he was born with. Moreover, he would unconsciously show it in all aspects, forming a huge gap between him and ordinary people. Inadvertently, he would use this to set off his extraordinariness.
Eldar had seen too many of such people in the past.
But what about Kieran?
He was willing to endure hardship without a single complaint.
Duke Eldar couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Kieran's calm face and gaze.
He once again thought of Kieran's strength.
He had heard of Kieran's powerful strength and witnessed it with his own eyes.
One man against an entire army!
Just by standing there, he was able to make an entire army feel like retreating. Not everyone could do that.
"You are different from the common men.
"It doesn't matter if it's someone your age or someone older than you. You're different."
The way of thinking.
The way you do things.
"You already have your own principles …"
"You must have gone through something in the past, otherwise you wouldn't be who you are now. I am very curious about what you have gone through.
But I guess you won't tell me. "
The old man sighed slightly.
Kieran didn't even care about the elderly's words.
Any normal person would be able to guess what the elderly guessed about Kieran.
It was all nonsense.
Instead of listening to such nonsense, it was far more interesting to think about what kind of supper Mary would prepare for him.
In fact, Kieran did the same.
As he sat there, his eyes began to drift, and his nostrils flared.
Kieran hoped to use his powerful perception to smell the food.
The old duke was stunned again when he saw Kieran's actions.
He did not understand what Kieran was doing.
But this did not stop him from continuing.
"Originally, I had some misgivings about telling you this secret."
"But your performance made me realize that I was overthinking things."
"You …"
"You should add more soup when stewing meat."
"Heat the fire a little more."
Kieran's sudden words stopped the old duke's words abruptly.
Even an idiot would understand what Kieran was doing just now.
"Food is nothing compared to the secret I'm about to tell you."
The old duke said with a serious look.
"The secret you're about to tell me is nothing compared to food."
Kieran replied seriously as well.
Then, Kieran turned around to the old duke.
He knew that if he didn't clear things up with the old man, he would have to face the old man's incessant chattering while he was eating.
In order not to delay the delicious food, Kieran said.
"Thank you for your trust in me."
"But I really don't want to know the secret of King James VIII."
"He still has a daughter."
"His daughter is also my friend."
"I am willing to help my friend, but I don't think we should skip Mary for this kind of conversation."
Kieran's formal tone stunned the old duke again.
"This is the reason why you rejected me?"
"Because I skipped over Mary for you?"
The old duke asked with slight disbelief.
"Em.
Mary and I are friends, so I should respect her existence.
She has more rights to know than I do. "
Kieran nodded.
"But you are more qualified than her to bear the responsibility."
The old duke frowned.
"Qualification has never been decided by anyone."
"It exists by itself."
"Besides, it has never been passed down beyond the surname, bloodline, and willpower."
Kieran stood up and opened the door.
"Mary will be here with my supper soon, do you want to leave?
Or do you want to find a suitable time to tell her everything? "
"When I say suitable time, it doesn't include when I'm having my supper."
Kieran emphasized.
"What a strange person."
The old duke shook his head with a bitter smile and walked out of the door.
Two minutes after the old duke left, Mary appeared with a tray of food. The aroma of food on her made Kieran approach her uncontrollably. He then took a deep breath.
"Beef, pork chops, lettuce, and corn."
Kieran said with squinted eyes, his face showing an incomprehensible satisfaction.
"Oxtail stew."
"Grilled pork chops."
"Corn and lettuce soup."
Mary blushed uncontrollably when she saw Kieran in front of her, but she quickly placed the food on the only table in the room like she was presenting a treasure.
Kieran didn't hold back either.
Or in other words, Kieran never knew the meaning of courtesy during meals.
Just like during battles, he preferred to attack first.
Even during meals, he was filled with an aggressive aura.
Some belonged to him, and some belonged to Gluttony.
Five minutes!
The food that was enough for three people was wiped clean.
"It's better than I thought."
"I didn't know you have such cooking skills."
Kieran said with slight astonishment.
"As the heir of Swusters Castle, you don't just need to learn martial arts."
Mary picked up the utensils and winked at Kieran before returning to the kitchen.
It was shocking for a princess to enter the kitchen, let alone wash the utensils, but for the heir of Swusters Castle, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Kieran looked at Mary's back and couldn't hold back his smile.
But soon enough, he kept his smile away.
He heard a series of footsteps.
Soon enough, the elderly duke appeared again.
He stood in front of the opened door, knocked on it, and said with a smile, "Good evening, Hon. 2567.
I think I've made myself clear enough. "
Kieran furrowed his brows.
He didn't want to waste time with the elderly duke.
He didn't have that kind of free time.
Turning Mary from a princess to a queen within 30 days wasn't something he could just watch.
"Yes, you've made yourself clear enough.
So, I want to tell you a secret that is related to you as a thank you.
It's related to Snake school. "
The elderly duke then walked into the room.
