Volume 9 Chapter 41: Chocolate That Will Bring Love
There was already a crowd of people before the store. And it was expected since this was about Keith. At just the start of his break, he was prepared to open another store! And what kind of store was he planning to do? White Forest Bakery and White Owl Company: these two brought about many new things for the northern region.
So what was this third one going to bring for them? There was no need to ask as Keith came out.
“Thank you everyone for coming here!”
“Kya! The young master is so cute in that outfit!”
“May looks so beautiful as well!”
“Look at how they’re wearing matching outfits.”
“Aww, did you hear that, Dear?” Keith turned to May with a mischievous smile.
“I heard, Honey.” May had a light smile as she held onto the boy's hand.
“Kya!” Never had they seen such intimate moments. But it was more known throughout the city about Keith and May; the two had always been together. It was only time for them to be together.
“Thank you for the compliments. And all of this came from one person today; Francis Colewell.”
Francis bowed his head. That only caused the citizens to be interested. The outfits they wore were quite intriguing and pleasant.
“Now, let us open our new store!” May and Keith held big scissors as they cut open the ribbon, allowing everyone to enter. And when they did so, they were all shocked by the design. For starters, there was a rich sweetness swarming their nose. And when they saw the chocolate bars, they were amazed.
The workers were all wearing brown chef suits with stripes of red and mint going down the chest. It was eye-catching compared to the regular white uniforms.
“What are these?” On one side, there was a good number of jars filled with different colored candy.
“We have strawberry, orange, lemon, and blue plum-flavored candy for you all to try,” One person greeted. The kids couldn’t help but marvel at the exciting thing.
“Please have a taste,” One of the workers handed some samples over to them.
Eating the confection, they were in awe of how delicious it was.
“What are these?”
“Chocolate truffles. We have milk, white, and dark flavors.” The truffle was a simple food, and biting into it caused a gush of delicious chocolate to flow into their mouth.
“I guess everyone is quite excited about this,” Keith grinned as he watched them. The children and adults savored each one. But that was when Keith raised a heart-shaped chocolate, “Dear, ahh,”
“Young Master?” May blinked.
“I heard that if you eat this with the one you love, you’ll have a flourishing relationship.”
“…” His words were loud enough for everyone to hear it. Everyone watched as May took a bite,
“Delicious?”
“Mmhmm,” May then picked up another one, “Ahh,”
Nam. Keith grinned, “It’s really delicious.”
"Keith! Ahh." Carolyn joined in as she raised a chocolate.
“Sure,” Keith didn’t hesitate as he ate the chocolate in one bite. That kinda shocked Carolyn as her hand froze in the middle of the air. But that wasn’t the end, as Keith fed her as well.
“Tasty?”
“Mmhmm,”
“Krystal, Ahh.” He wasn’t going to forget about the girl.
“Umm…”
“Ahh,” Krystal took a deep sigh as she ate it. But then a small smile soon came after, “It’s quite delicious.”
“…” That was when the others were eager to try it out as well. William had raised his hand in the air, “Wife, please try.”
“Delicious.” There was the start of a significant fad where couples started to feed one another with heart-shaped chocolate.
“So this is what you wanted?” Carolyn whispered into his ear. That was when he grinned, “I thought it would be interesting. And besides, the samples really helped out.”
Before they opened the shop, they handed out some samples to everyone. Because of this, there were a lot more customers.
“...” May stared at Keith, and Carolyn had noticed her gaze.
…
Later that night, “Umm, why did you call me out here, Princess?” Carolyn had called the girl to her room. And she wasn’t alone either; Krystal was also there as well. It was a little weird.
“Hmm?”
“There’s something that I want to make sure. Are you in love with Keith?”
“Eh?” May’s expression changed when he heard that. In love with Keith? That was something that she wasn’t too sure of either.
Carolyn explained, “Well, we have been seeing you like this with him. I just had to ask this question.” The two of them were not like brother and sister. It was much more intimate than that.
“…”
“I want you to be his woman,” Carolyn added.
“Eh?” May and Krystal’s expression turned blank.
That caused Carolyn to tilt her head, “What? Did I say something weird?”
“But didn’t you say before you wanted to find true love where the person would only love you and no one else?” Krystal remembered Carolyn was sort of a solo love type. What made the girl change her mind about it?
Carolyn sighed, “Yeah, I won’t lie, I still want to be the only one loved. However, that's impossible."
“Huh?”
“Keith is someone who will attract many different people to him. Because of that, a good number of girls are going to fall in love with him.” That was quite the case right now.
“And I don’t want what happened with my father to happen to him.” Julius didn’t marry the countess because he loved her. He married her because there would have been a situation with politics if he hadn’t. That was the only reason why he married her in the first place.
“That’s why I would rather have people who love and cherish him by his side.” Carolyn had a proud look as she said this. This was the best option she had; people that everyone could get along with.
“Krystal is one of them.”
“Huh?”
“You like him, right?”
“…” Krystal scratched before she nodded, “Mmhmm?”
“I’d rather have wives where we could get along with one another.” Carolyn smiled.
“What about you, May?”
“Ummm. I really don’t know what to say about this either.” May scratched. Carolyn thought about it as she asked, “Let me ask you this. What do you think about Keith being with another girl? Well, not with us but with an evil person.”
“…” The thought came into her mind, which caused the girl to freeze.
Carolyn and Krystal glanced at one another. That answered that.
