Chapter 541: 13.39

'Heaven… Wolf's heaven….'

'Young Master… is Wolf's heaven….'

Little Jean tilted his head, "Heaven? Um… Jean never saw heaven. But Angel Raphael said that heaven has a huge cake and a lot of sweets! Jean wants to go to heaven, so I can eat a lot of sweets!"

"I hope I don't get a cavity in heaven, though… Jean ate a lot of sweets before and got a cavity. Big brother scolded me for hours. I thought his scolding is even more painful than my cavity… wu…."

Wolf kept staring at Little Jean, who was surrounded by fresh flowers and the golden butterfly that kept circling above his head. 

"Beautiful…" Wolf murmured. 

Little Jean smiled at Wolf and said, "Wolf, open your hands! Jean will give you something!"

Wolf obediently opened his hands, and Little Jean chanted, "Unn… give Wolf his flower, Miss Fairy!"

Slowly, a gentle light engulfed Wolf's hand, and a white gardenia was summoned. It rested on Wolf's hand.

Wolf's body trembled as he felt that he had been given something so precious by Young Master Jean.

He looked at Little Jean, afraid that his hand would soil the white flower, "Y—Young Master… Wolf… Wolf is scared…."

"Ahh, don't be scared, Wolf! That is a white Gardenia! Jean loves White Gardenia, just like Big brother Maximillien!" 

"White… Gardenia?"

"Un!" Little Jean nodded enthusiastically, "White Gardenia is for good people! Big brother said once that While Gardenia is the symbol of purity and innocence! That means Wolf is pure and innocent!"

Ba-Dump.

Wolf felt something was hitting his heart, which made his body warm all over. 

He was raised inside a very harsh environment by his big brother, Prince Alric. He saw their kidnapping and killing the guards or soldiers as well. They were basically bandits.

But because Wolf never wanted to hurt anyone, he used his skill to hunt instead. 

Still, they think of Wolf as part of the group. So, Wolf thought that his hand had also been soiled by blood. 

He stared at the beautiful flower. Gradually, tears welled up in his eyes, and the tears dropped, wetting the beautiful white Gardenia. 

Wolf tried to wipe the tears with his tunic, afraid that the white Gardenia will be soiled by his dirty tears. 

"Wu… Wolf? Why are you crying?" Little Jean approached Wolf and wiped Wolf's tears with his sleeve. "Don't cry, Wolf. Jean will be sad…."

"Wolf… Wolf is dirty… Young Master…" Wolf said. He was always afraid to touch flowers or butterflies because his brother thought that his hand had always been dirty with blood. That was the way of the warrior. It's fine for your hand to be soiled with blood as long as you win.

Wolf wanted to be a warrior like his brother, but he didn't want to hurt anyone…

"Wolf… will be a killer… Wolf's hand is dirty…."

[… Okay, that's pretty sad, honestly. Wolf is such a good and gentle boy, but his harsh environment forced him to do this.]

[Pupa: Well, in the original world background, the MC is supposed to meet him as his brother, Prince Alric, had reclaimed the throne from his evil stepmother.]

[Pupa: Wolf grew to be a very distant and silent person. He still has his good heart, but he becomes very traumatized and scared because he was a doctrine that he would be a murderer in the future.]

[I see, it's good that I found him earlier, so it wouldn't be so hard to cultivate him to be a good person, a good knight for me!]

[Pupa: You're really going to adopt him as your knight?]

[Of course! He will be a great knight for me. He is innocent, obedient, and very kind!]

[Pupa: I don't know. I think mixing all three male leads together will be a good idea. Also, Matthew… did you actually forgot about that scary monster that pops out when you touched the rabbit that he summoned?]

[I mean, Matthew doesn't live in the Palace, so…]

[Besides, he is not part of the male lead, right? As long as he doesn't blacken like Xu Jiansheng, I can put him in this friend zone status until the world end, and I've filled all the Fatemeters!]

[Besides, Pupa, I have three Fatemeters and one more that we haven't met! Do you think I have enough time with Matthew?!

[Pupa: I really think it's not that easy. But I guess there's nothing wrong to cultivate Wolf's Fatemeter now.]

Little Jean covered Wolf's hand with his. Wolf's hand was obviously bigger, but Little Jean tried to cup their hands together, covering the white Gardenia. 

Little Jean smiled and closed his eyes.

Slowly, the white Gardenia inside their cupped hands glowed brightly. Wolf felt that the Gardenia disappeared from his hands. A drop of light emerged from their hands. It circled around Wolf for a while and then entered Wolf's heart.

Wolf could feel the warm and gentle waves caressing his body. He was in peace after that but still didn't understand what just happened. 

"Young… Master?"

Little Jean opened his eyes and then smiled at Wolf, "Jean just gives Wolf my blessing. If you believe in Jean, then Jean has purified your heart! You're now pure again! You can touch flowers again!"

"W—Wolf can touch flowers?" 

"Yes! You can touch any flower now!" 

Little Jean silently ordered his golden butterfly to circle around Wolf's head, "Uwaaa! Even my butterfly loves you! Wolf is a good boy!"

"Wolf… is a… good boy…."

"Yes!"

"Y—Young Master… can Wolf… un… can Wolf touch flower… now?" 

"Flower? Okay!" Little Jean picked one rose that had just bloomed on the ground beside him. He presented it to Wolf, "Touch this flower!"

Wolf stared at the rose, and then he slowly stretched his hand. His fingers were about to touch the flower, but he just ignored the flower and went straight to caress Little Jean's cheek.

Little Jean was stunned when Wolf's rough palm caressed his smooth cheek. Wolf finally showed a sincere smile, and he said, "Young Master… Wolf… Wolf... has touched… the most beautiful flower…."

[Pupa: Ding! Wolf Dietrich's Fatemeter increases to 45%.]

[Pupa: Ding! Raphael De Argent's Fatemeter increases to 40%.]
