Chapter 41

Ignoring the girl who was invading his personal space, Lennox sneered at the speechless adults: "you guys done running your mouths about me? Sit down now old ladies, I am starving ".

Embarrassed, Annasophy tried to deny the fact they were gossiping about him, saying:" not everything revolves around you, what makes you think we talked about you".

As he Looked down on her, Lennox smirked: "duh- it's all over your faces", he paused to see Annasophy get more embarrassed then continued:" whoever I want I shall favoure, so keep your asses out of my business".

After Settling down, Jennings asked the million gold question that everyone wanted to know it's answer but none dared to ask, he said concerned:" Evey dear, why are sitting there?".

Franklin said under his breath: "ah, little one, that place is quite dangerous ".

Surely, with their sharp auditory perception, Lennox and Everly both heard him, while the former decided to just ignore it, Everly quickly exclaimed:" no! Lennox and I became friends, so I should not let him sit alone ".

Silence....

No one knew what to respond to that, was she serious about being friends with someone known to be as fierce as an ancient beast?

But soon the subject was abounded when Jennings suddenly said in a firm tone:" Lennox clear the air, the servants can't work properly, overall, miss Catherine does not seem to do well, you do know that she is not from our bloodline, why do you keep losing yourself?".

"Tsk" Lennox rolled his eyes before closing them for seconds when he opened them again all those who were troubled by his pheromones breathed in relief.

"Bloodline? Does that make the handsome mister your majesty's brother? Do I call him uncle?" Said Everly while wearing a dumb expression.

' who is mister handsome? Fletcher? Tsk, I can't deny it'. thought Everlys' fan club members as they burned with jealousy.

Jennings:" ah no, they are all my nephews actually ".

Tilting her head, Everly said with a dumber expression:" nephew? A fish?".

' what.....'

Calmly, Fletcher explained as he took a sip of his tea:" our mother was the former Princess, as his majestys' older sister ".

Since they shared blood relation, the current Welfmore family members weren't affected by Lennoxs' pheromones. However, Jennings and his sister were born from different mothers, which made the blood relation weaker, so at the most, they would feel slightly uncomfortable,  unlike Lennoxs' parents and siblings who can't feel anything.

Seeing Everly spacing out, Erwin assumed that he should explain a little more, as soon as he opened his mouth Lennox cut him off saying: "she is still processing, wait for her".

A moment of awkward silence passed before Everly finally whooped:" AH~ so you are a family!!!".

With a warm smile, Jennings said softly as he serenely gazed at her: "Everly is also in the family, so it's fine if you relayed on us from time to time, hm?".

Before she could say anything, Lennox slammed his teacup on the table, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief as he shouted: "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS SHITY TEA? IS THIS POISON? ARE YOU FUCKING TRYING TO KILL ME?!! WELL, GUESS WHAT, I WON'T DIE BY THIS BITCHES!".

Since she was basically sticking right next to him, Everly jolted as Lennox shouted next to her ears, she closed her eyes feeling uneasy. Seeing her reaction Jennings frowned helplessly:" calm down, there is nothing wrong with the tea, I just tasted it".

Lennox continued his rebuking: "THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE SO DAMN OLD!! UGH, NOW ALL MY TASTE BUDS ARE FREAKING ROTTEN ".

Everyone already tasted the tea but they could not find anything unusual. Curious, Everly held her teacup about to take a sip when Lennox pushed it down again, saying in a dead serious tone:" don't. You will die".

Still composed, Jennings scolded:" no she won't. Evey dear, go on and try it".

Everly hesitated for a good while, but since all the eyes were focused on her, she decided to at least take a sip. Like a little kitty drinking her milk, Everly stuck her tiny tongue, brushing it at the surface of the tea before withdrawing it quickly.

Everly:"...it's  a little bit bitter "

"....".

"........".

SHE IS CUTE!!!!!!!!

As Everlys' fan club members were dying at the side, Lennox and Jennings continued their 'debate' about tea and manners. Although the situation was out of control, Everly and Fletcher decided to just eat and act normal.

Meanwhile, at the corner, Edgar who was pretending to be empty air, cried in his heart saying ' I want to go home, these people are crazy '

******

As time flew, a month since Everly arrived at the imperial palace has passed, she spent her days learning with Edgar at morning, then making ructions and uproar with Lennox at night.

Even though she was prohibited from exiting the palace without the emperors' permission, both of the kids would sneak out to the capital city and wander around trying everything they looked fun.

After dinner, Jennings asked Lennox to help him sort few documents that needed careful decisions.

While going through them, a file that was ducked within the papers showed up. The moment Jennings saw it, his face darkened and his body stiffened.

" What is this?" Asked Lennox by seeing his worried expression.

In a gloomy tone, Jennings answered:" that's....Everlys' exam results ".

Now, this is something Lennox would be curious about, he quickly opened the file reading the Mark's on red.

Math:100

Science:62

History:100

Language: -1

Widening his eyes, Lennox reread the last mark again and again, and it still says [language: -1]
