"Well, if that's all you need to say, then I will be going. Remember, I am his future husband, not you."
Maximillien gritted his teeth. He was angry at such a remark because it instantly degraded his status of importance. He was still the family member for Little Jean, so he also had the right to ensure that Jean was well protected.
"Don't you dare to hurt him! If I ever see Little Jean cried because of you, then you will suffer the worst fate imaginable!" Maximillien threatened.
But Raphael only chuckled full of amusement, "Your Highness should learn that my position in the Empire and in Jean's heart is more important than you. You're just his brother. He will leave you after he got older."
"And he will stay with me instead," Raphael smiled with a taunting grin on his handsome, angelic face.
"We will see about that," Maximillien replied with his devilish smirk. None of them wanted to give up because both of them thought that they had the same right over Little Jean.
"Talking with you is meaningless, Your Highness Archduke Maximillien. I'd suggest you stop sending me letters only to threaten me about Jean. I'm not giving him up."
"Now, if you'll excuse me. I want to watch the night flower rather than staying here."
Raphael flicked his finger, and he vanished into thin air.
Maximillien clenched his fist. He was restless thinking about Little Jean and how Little Jean might have been influenced by the callous Emperor Argent III and Prince Raphael.
Unable to rest his worry, Maximillien got up from his chair and then walked out of the office. He walked to the corridor leading to Little Jean's room. He saw Wolf was guarding outside of the door. His eyes were dazed, but when Maximillien reached a certain radius, Wolf's gaze sharpened instantly, and he glared t Maximillien.
Wolf was surprised by Maximillien's presence. He kneeled near the door, "Your… Highness…"
"You're guarding alone here? Where are the others?" Maximillien asked as he approached Wolf.
"Rest…" Wolf replied.
…
Maximillien was about to call those guards who dared resting when guarding Little Jean. But he also realized that Wolf was more than enough to guard Little Jean. In fact, Wolf was a lot better than those trained knights, even the veterans.
"Fine, you stay here. I will meet Jean."
"Young… master… sleeping…." Wolf informed.
"Yes, I know that," Maximillien pushed the door open. He saw Little Jean was sleeping on his bed in his white pajamas.
Maximillien smiled and gently sat on the bed. He watched Little Jean, who was sleeping peacefully.
Maximillien caressed Little Jean's hair and then said, "Honestly, I didn't expect that I could be so protective over you, Jean. You're just an adopted kid that my parents took because they wanted to raise another son."
"We've never been close to each other because I saw you as a nuisance rather than brother…."

"But things suddenly changed for whatever reason. Now, you've become the source of my strength to maintain our Archduchy. You're my only family left, Jean. So I will make sure that you get the best this world could offer…."
Maximillien kissed Little Jean's forehead. He stared at his little brother for a while and then got up.
He stared at the moon shining brightly from the window, and he chuckled. He left the room quietly, not wanting to wake Little Jean up. Since he knew that Jean wouldn't sleep for the whole night if he woke up now.
He told Wolf, who was standing outside, "Protect my little brother well. He is the gem of Eau Saumont."
"Yes, Your Highness…."
Though Wolf thought what Archduke Maximillien said was unnecessary, he would still protect Young Master Jean no matter what because he was Young Master Jean's favorite.

Yunyu opened his eyes for a bit, and when he saw that Maximillien had left the room, he took a relieved breath and got up from the bed. Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu and commented, "You almost got caught."
"Well, it's not my fault that he is such a controlling big brother," Little Jean said. Both Pupa and Jean were speaking in a low voice, afraid that Wolf might hear it.
Yunyu was currently learning how to use the dark energy that he took from Matthew before.
Matthew had such strong dark energy, but Little Jean could steal some because he had Hoe Magic, which allowed him to take magic from the male leads.
For some reason, he was able to steal Matthew's dark magic, "I wonder if Matthew/Aaron/Jiangsheng also has the same soul as Han Ye. Because I should only be able to take over the male leads to magic."
Little Jean played with a dark sphere in his hand. He felt nothing about it. There was no 'darkening' effect like in the cool anime and such.
But when he was with Matthew before, he could clearly feel the pressure exuded from Matthew's body. As if the dark energy around Matthew wanted to eat him whole. As if he was the cute small bunny that would be perfect to be the source of food for Matthew.
"Hmm, let's just pray that Matthew wouldn't be too dangerous. I don't even know what to do with him at this point…." Little Jean was thinking for a moment.
"Should I befriend him… should I leave him… or should I put him in my harem? Choice choice…." Yunyu was considering.
"Just make sure that he doesn't make everything worse. He is just like you. Both of you are the magnet of disasters," Pupa jabbed with an insult.
But before Yunyu could fight back. Pupa suddenly sensed someone was coming at a light speed. Thus Pupa disappeared before it could even inform Yunyu.
…
A light suddenly appeared in front of Little Jean, and Raphael appeared in front of Jean.
Raphael saw the dark sphere that was floating on Little Jean's hand, and he smiled, "Jean, do you know what you're playing with right now?"
