Your Chains that Bind Me(BL)

meal and drank his water. Vincent was also finished and glared at his mother for a brief moment before placing a bowl of strawberries in front of Noah and slightly leaned to Noahs side as he watched Noah happily ate the strawberries.

”You know you can have more of these tomorrow, right? ” Vincent said as he looked at his terrified siblings and a smirking Duchess.

”I know, yet you also know I like strawberries very much. ” Noah said as he finished the last strawberry and smiled as he is full and very much satisfied with his meal.

”Fresh Strawberries here are still very tasty, I would want to have a garden full of these. ” Noah said as Vincent closed his eyes.

”I don think so Iris, you can come back here anytime you want for strawberries so Im not giving you any seed. ” He said as Noah looked at him like he was betrayed but his face also lit up by the mention of coming back again.

”For now, I will agree. But that doesn mean I will give up on collecting enough seeds for a garden Vince. ” Noah said as he laughed when Vincent rolled his eyes.

”Ill ask the chef tomorrow to prepare your tea snacks full of sweets and strawberries. ” Vincent said as he fully leaned on Noah shoulders as he was tired from anxiously waiting for Noah to arrive earlier.

Noah looked across the table to see such terrified expressions of the twin and a giggling Duchess, he then looked worried and asked what was wrong, the Duchess answered.

”Its nothing dear, but please stay with us for a longer time. It would be very helpful especially for Vincent. ” She said as she smiled, Noah smiled back.

”My Mother told me to stay here as long as I want when she slightly chased me out of the mansion earlier, she was also very excited for me to go that when I arrived earlier at our mansion the carriage that Ill be using is already packed with my luggage, ready. ” Noah told the Duchess his story as she laughed at how her best friend reacted.

”My Mother was so excited that I didn get a chance to say goodbye to my Older Brother even though we were both in the Capital that time. ” Noah said as Vincent nodded.

”Then, shall I send regards to Earl Wisteria? ” Vincent asked, and Noah nodded immediately.

”Brother will worry and he has a mission with his corps in the South-West, it will certainly decline a bit of his energy. ” Noah said as the twins tilted their heads and Vincent raised a brow.

”Wasn the Earl a General? Why would he bring a Corps of Soldiers to the South-West? ” He asked as Noah furrowed his eyebrows.

”He was secretive of the mission but he did say it was not confirmed on how much soldiers the mission would need. At first the Emperor at first said that a Regiment is fine, but Brother insisted to take a corps of 100,000 troops. ” Noah explained as everyone listened to him.

”Brother has a high rate at trusting his intuition, none of his suspicion were wrong. But this time, he was also unsure if bringing that may troops will help or will only hinder the advancement. But the worst scenario would be a complete wipe-out. ” He said as he recalled his conversation with his brother earlier in his office.

”I see, then I must prepare. It seems like this was actually a very important matter that I was not informed about, but If the Earl himself is unsure I will send a notice to my troops, we are ready to go anytime they need help. ” Vincent said as Noah nodded.

The Twins understood some part of what they were discussing as the Duchess nodded her head towards Kevin. Vincent also tapped his fingers 5 Times.

Duchess Ophelia understood and proceeded to call for the servants to clean the table and she stood up with a smile.

”Its time to go to sleep. Everyone, Goodnight. ” The Duchess said as all of them stood up and went separate ways towards their room.

Soon, Noah arrived at his room and said his Goodnights to Vincent, before closing the door and changing himself with a nightgown. And Vincent too, after receiving his Goodnights also went ahead to sleep.

As such, the Castle which is usually dark and scary is somehow energetically up that night to protect.

But will trusting this feeling of unease lead to victory or defeat.
