BXBX NOVEL Chapter 582 - 13.80
Maximillien was sitting solemnly while staring at the dinner in front of him. This was the dinner he prepared for Jean. He wanted Jean to have a nice dinner with him, so he told the head cook to make everything Young Master Jean loved.
He kept something in his head for a long time, a confession. But he didn\'t know how to say it, and he was still contemplating whether he should say it in the first place due to their status.
Although they were not blood-related at all, Maximillien grew up with Jean. He became overprotective to Jean and wanting the best for that boy.
But at the same time, he wouldn\'t deny there was another feeling blooming inside his heart, and nobody could ever give him this kind of feeling. It was only with Jean.
Maximillien closed his eyes, thinking about the best way to confess his feeling. But the more he thought about it, the more he met a dead end.
"Big brother!" Jean entered the dining hall fresh with new apparel. He skipped happily and sat near his Big brother. Jean looked at the food on the table and marvelled, "Whoaaa! Is this a feast for me? I\'ve wanted to eat all of these! Food in the academy sucks!"
"You don\'t like the food in the academy?" Maximillien asked. He remembered clearly that he told the dean to give Jean the best food the academy could offer. It didn\'t matter if it counted as nepotism. As the Archduke, Maximillien was the landowner of the academy, and he was also the biggest donator yearly.
A minor treatment for his beloved little brother wouldn\'t hurt them.
"I will tell them about their bad food. I will punish some as well," Maximillien said.
"No, no, the food tastes great, but…." Jean sighed and picked one piece of raisin cookie from the table. "I just don\'t like the atmosphere. I want to eat with you daily, Big brother…."
Ba-Dump!
Maximillien held his breath as he felt that his heart was beating louder right now. Jean really got his way with words, even if Jean didn\'t mean it.
Maximillien blamed himself once more, \'Jean wants to eat with you every day because you\'re his family. Stop thinking about other stuff, Maximillien. He is a pure-hearted kid, unlike you, filth.\'
Meanwhile, Jean tilted his head when he saw his big brother\'s cheek turned red. He put his palm on Maximillien\'s cheek and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable, big brother?"
Maximillien jolted in response, and his cheek turned even hotter, "Hmm… big brother has a fever? Maybe because you used too much magic before…."
"I\'m fine," Maximillien held Jean\'s hand because he didn\'t want to look too obvious in front of Jean. "Just enjoy the dinner."
"Ah, how about the things that you want to talk about, Big brother?" Jean asked.
"W—We will talk about that later," Maximillien replied. However, he also didn\'t know if he wanted to talk with Jean after dinner. Even with just a small touch from Jean already got his heart beating uncontrollably.
[Hehe, so cute. He doesn\'t realize that he has been in love with me for so long. But finally realizing it after I got older.]
[Pupa: Good thing he is not your biological brother.]
[Yeah… if he is my biological brother, that\'d be so weird. We should thank the author for making him romance-able as an adopted brother, nyeheh~]
[Though I\'d be even happier if he makes Maximillien as my step-brother, so I can say that iconic line \'Help me, step-bro, I\'m stuck~]
[Pupa:... degenerate whore.]
Jean just hummed as he ate dinner in silence with his Big brother. As the evening passed, Maximillien was still sitting inside his office. He wasn\'t working. He was just contemplating whether he should say it or not.
"Ah, the more I think about it, the more stressful I got…." Maximillien let out a deep sigh. He got up from the chair and walked to the balcony. The moon was so beautiful, nothing, it was a full moon, and the air was a bit chilly since autumn.
The gentle moon reminded him of Jean. Jean was like the bright sun that cheered him every day and the gentle moon that always said good night, with a kiss on the cheek before sleep.
"Jean…"
…
"No, no, things will be bad if Jean knows about my feeling," Maximillien shook his head. But when he was about to return inside, he saw Jean near the ruined fountain in the garden.
"BIG BROTHER!" Jean yelled out loud.
Maximillien\'s eyes widened. He saw Jean playing with jellyfish that he made before and helping Wolf heal his wound with the same method that he used for King Alric.
"Goddamn it, that guy is using Jean for his sexual fantasy!" Maximillien was about to create a small wave to kick Wolf away from Jean, but he was surprised when Jean suddenly waved his wand and created bigger jellyfish bubbles.
He summoned them one by one and created a stair leading to Maximillien\'s balcony.
Jean jumped from one jellyfish to another and then landed right in front of Maximillien, "Big brother, do you want to get healed like Wolf? He\'s currently enjoying it. It\'s like detoxification to relax your muscle. Just like Wolf, he has been detoxed for at least four times throughout the whole night, and he still wants more!"
\'THAT DAMNED PERVERT!\' Maximillien was panicked, thinking that Jean must\'ve seen Wolf shot his cum at least four times. But maybe, because Jean was too pure-hearted, he didn\'t even realize that it was such a lascivious and depraved activity.
Jean looked at the bright moon and sighed full of admiration, "The full moon is so beautiful tonight." Jean turned his head at his big brother and smiled, "Big brother, do you want to dance on the moon?"
"Huh?"
Jean grabbed Maximillien\'s hand and summoned stairs of bubble jellyfishes leading to the lake behind the Palace of Eau Saumont.
Jean pulled his big brother\'s hand and dragged him to jump from one jellyfish to another, "Big brother, I want to dance on the moon with you!"
