章 500: Not as sad as him

"So, you're saying you hitched with us because Rufus broke the carriage for you?" Klaus inquired at Fabian for clarity. The latter, who sat across from him and beside Claude, nodded. 

Klaus scratched his temple with his index finger as he felt his head throb. "You realized I had been avoiding you and Rufus on purpose, right?"

"Yes, but I don't avoid you," Fabian replied in a knowing tone, turning his head to Claude. "His Lordship is alright with it, so it doesn't really matter what you say."

"You can always tag along, Mister Fabian." Claude smiled politely. "Besides, this brings us to old times back in the west garden. Uncle Klaus should be more open about his embarrassing past."
