Chapter 27: You're My Bro!

Amelia took care of talking to the girl, while Keith silently stood outside Clangson's bedroom. He didn't have to wait for long as he saw her walk towards him with a tired look on her face."She didn't say it directly, but I can tell that she's been getting involved with other noble kids. Haaa.... I have a feeling that she angered the wrong person and Clangson isn't the only one in danger here. We must share this information with the Brandon and the good news is that we don't have to get involved in this case anymore.

We technically have two clients and both of them seem to have gotten involved in something serious. If we continue, we'll probably lose a member or two from our team and I'm sure that Brandon wouldn't want that. He'll most probably send a request to the neighbouring churches and ask them for help." seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She then sat down on the floor with her back against the wall, but just as Keith was about to follow her actions, he saw the door open slowly.

Standing there was Clangson's wife, whose name he didn't know yet, but his mouth slightly opened as he stared at her. He had never seen someone as bold as her in his entire life as she was standing in front of him while wearing an almost transparent lingerie.

Keith could see everything as his eyes were now used to the small amount of light that the candles in the corridor were emitting. Even Amelia who was sitting on the floor, stared at the woman in shock.

"Care to join me in my bed?" she whispered as she leaned in slightly, like the amount of exposure wasn't enough.

Keith immediately shook his head, "Respectfully, I apologise. I'm already engaged to this beautiful lady beside me and I would like to remain faithful to her."

Surprisingly, Amelia went along with his story and stood up, "Well, if you want I can join you along with my fiance. Just so you know, I get very rough when it comes to ladies."

Maybe it was a secret code or maybe it was something that only the women understood, but when the lady heard Amelia's words, she gave Keith an awkward smile and pushed the door slowly.

"Would you do me a favour and keep this a secret?"

Amelia answered for Keith, "Sure."

Once the door closed, Keith let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks." he whispered and sat down on the floor while Amelia walked towards him. Instead of sitting on the other side of the door, she sat directly beside him.

"Are you alright?" she asked worriedly, and Keith nodded, "Yeah... just reminded me of someone."

"Oh... wait, you have no reaction?!" she exclaimed, still whispering as she did so, but her eyes were on his crotch.

Keith didn't know what do say, so he chuckled instead, "Is it common to stare at men's crotches?"

"I mean, you're wearing a pant over it so I'm sure that I can't really see anything. But oh god... don't tell me you're impotent. Wait no, it makes sense. You're the only one who didn't stare at me like an idiot when you met me.

Also, it's night time right now and my ability seems to have no effect on you. Do you not even see me as a woman?!" she asked, utterly flabbergasted at the lack of reaction from Keith.

Hearing her words, he sighed loudly, not knowing how to explain. He thought for a few seconds and decided to keep it simple.

"Listen, I have different preferences. Most guys like slender... petite, delicate and um... lean girls, but I have different tastes. If I must take an example... the princess of Morose Kingdom is more of my type." he said.

The princess of Morose would be killed in a few years, but Keith had seen her character art. If there was any important character who was as pretty and "well-gifted" as her, then it would be a woman who was a major antagonist.

But her mentality and character was warped to the point of no return as she was extremely evil. And unlike her, the princess of Morose, was just unlucky and made a bunch of bad decisions.

Amelia heard him and frowned as she silently stared at the floor in front of her before commenting, "So... that's the reason why you look at Clara so differently. You... you do know that romance between work colleagues will only cause problems to the team right?"

"Yeah, I know." he nodded, "That's the reason why I hold back and don't actively try to talk to her a lot. I'm confident that with my looks, a lot of women will line up. Mrs Clangson is a prime example."

Hearing his words, she sighed as she didn't know how to refute him. It was true that he was handsome and from just one look, it was very obvious that as long as Keith gained some muscle, then he would be almost irresistible to the women.

"Well, don't worry. I'll act as your fiance to protect you. It's my job as a senior."

Keith nodded, "Thanks. Just don't get too into the role though... I already told you my preferences and it'll be awkward if you know... if you start having feelings."

"Hah? Who do you think I am? I get flowers and gifts almost every week. There's a bunch of men wanting to take me on a date and there's also a lot of people trying to jump directly into a marriage. What made you think that you're better than them?"

Keith put his arm around her shoulder, "Ay ay, don't worry I was just joking. You're very easy to get along with, so you're somewhat like a bro to me."

"Bro? what does that even... did you mean brother?!!" she whispered loudly as she pinched his sided.

"Oiiii, I mean it in a good way!" he exclaimed as he pinched her back after seeing that she wasn't letting go.

Once she got a taste of her own medicine, she glared at him like he had wronged her but Keith took this chance to explain himself.

"What I mean is that you're like a great friend to me. It's only been a day or two, but it's always comfortable talking to you and I can just be myself. Do you understand now?"
