Harold’s right arm forced its way in the men’s way, as if to protect Erica. At this point, it seemed impossible for them to ignore Harold, therefore, they started threatening him with sharp voices that had completely changed from when they were speaking to Erica.

【”Who the hell are you? Get out of my way.”】

【”What a boorish behavior.”】

【”Seriously. How could a rude man like you possibly stand next to Erica? Know your place.”】

【”Why are you so silent? Too cowardly to keep acting like a knight?”】

【”Get out of my sight.”】



(???’s Pov)

【”Meeting you today is the luckiest thing that ever happened in my life. And I’d like to share this wonderful feeling with you. But first, may I hear you name, my lady?”】

【”…. I am the daughter of the Sumeragi family, Erica Sumeragi. I’d be pleased to make your acquaintance.”】

【”Oh, Erica! A lovely name, fitting of your beauty. I am-“】

【”-Francis J. Arkwright.”】

【”Do you know me? Well, I am famous after all.”】

【”Yeah, your bad habits are famous.”】

【”Wha……! You seem to know me very well. But that information is already outdated.”】

Francis kneeled on one knee and took Erica’s hand.

【”Because my heart will be completely devoted to Erica from now on!”】

【”Mister Arkwright, even if you suddenly tell me that, I am not going to….”】

【”Arkwright is way too formal! Call me Franck.”】

【”This is quite unexpected. Are you not going to stop me?”】

【”You seem like a different kind of dimwit from the masses that tumbled around here. Do what you want.”】

【”Well, that is, if you can get that guy’s permission.”】

【”Itsuki, allow me to call you my brother-in-law from now on.”】

【”Call me what?! Get your hand off Erica, you lustful imp!”】

Itsuki’s angry voice resounded everywhere through the Berlioz mansion.
