"Donât worry, the single room youâre staying in can always be reserved for you!"
Upon hearing this, Yasmin frowned slightly, hesitating a bit, she said, "Mr. Krueger, even though my father and your father are close friends."
"Staying at Frank Manor Castle temporarily is not a big deal."
"But staying long-term... Iâm unmarried, youâre unmarried, it isnât quite proper."
Krueger nodded in agreement, "Miss Yasmin is right, I was thinking too simply."
Yasminâs tone suddenly changed, "However, I do have a way to make my stay at Frank Manor Castle reasonable!"
Krueger looked at Yasmin in puzzlement, and asked, "What way?"
Yasmin showed a hopeful smile, "That is... you marry me!"
"In this way, it wouldnât matter how long I want to stay in your room or about anything else."
Krueger remained silent, falling into contemplation.
Seeing Kruegerâs expression, the hopeful smile from Yasmin vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.
She snorted coldly, "I knew you just wanted to play with me, never thought about marriage!"
"I get it! You despise me for once being a married woman?"
As she spoke.
Yasminâs arms, previously entwined around Kruegerâs, quickly withdrew, and she sat upright beside him.
Feeling the softness fade from his arm, Krueger sighed helplessly.
"Miss Yasmin, youâve misunderstood me."
"How could I, Krueger, be a heartless person?"
With her arms crossed in front, Yasmin turned her head, her wide-open eyes gazing through the car window at the night outside.
Seeing this, Krueger extended his right hand and placed it on Yasminâs fair, voluptuous thigh.
He spoke with full of melancholy, "Miss Yasmin, please listen to my explanation, Eduardo is dead, you know!"
"However, it was far more than just being intercepted and assassinated by the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, itâs not that simple..."
Upon hearing this.
Feigning indifference, Yasmin slightly turned her head away.
Seeing the words having an effect, Krueger continued, "Miss Yasmin, the Frank Clan is caught in a power struggle!"
"Our father, Jonas Frank, is old and frail, this is an undeniable fact!"
"In more than five years or as soon as three years, the position of Frank Manor Lord will see a change."
"Before itâs determined who will inherit as the new Frank Manor Lord, any adult male of the Frank Clan could become the new Manor Lord!"
Yasminâs gaze turned towards Krueger.
She didnât speak, awaiting Kruegerâs continued explanation.
Krueger continued, "But at this crucial moment, Eduardo, as Jonasâ fourth son, died!"
"Miss Yasmin, what do you think itâs for?"
Yasmin, grasping the meaning in Kruegerâs words, hesitated hardly at all.
"Someone wants to become the Frank Manor Lord, eliminating rivals!"
Krueger gave Yasmin an approving glance, "Youâre right, Miss Yasmin."
"The Iron Blood Brotherhood members vanished before the Ducas Clanâs Sword and Shield Corps soldiers arrived!"
"And after the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers left, they remained unheard from for a long time."
"The Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, absent for such a long time, suddenly appeared in Morgan Town and bizarrely intercepted Eduardo heading for Kakasong City."
"Even a fool could understand such an affairâitâs absolutely not that simple!"
Yasmin nodded in agreement, not interrupting Krueger.
"Up to now, neither I nor the entire Frank Clan have figured out the exact cause."
Kruegerâs words shifted, "If we were to get engaged now and bring you into the Frank Clan, it wouldnât be fair to you."
"Because, I dare not assure you absolute safety..."
Seeing Kruegerâs sorrowful face, the coldness on Yasminâs face softened, feeling a pang of compassion.
She moved slightly, once again opening her arms to embrace Kruegerâs right arm, filled with gentle inquiry.
"Mr. Krueger, how... how can I help you?"
Krueger smiled faintly, and said, "As long as Miss Yasmin can understand and accept me, itâll be good enough!"
Listening to Kruegerâs words, Yasmin seemed deep in thought.
Soon, something came to her mind.
Her head, still resting against Kruegerâs arm, began to slowly move down, ending up against Kruegerâs abdomen...
After a rustling movement, Kruegerâs brows raised instantly.
Kruegerâs right hand rested on the back of Yasminâs head, speaking slowly.
"Miss Yasmin, besides this, I need your fatherâs help!"
"If heâs willing to support me to become the new Frank Manor Lord, I, Krueger, will definitely support your father to become the Chamber of Commerce President of Kakasong City!"
Yasmin remained silent.
Krueger, without minding in the slightest, leaned tightly against the leather seat at the back, enjoying the comfortable sway brought by the moving carriage.
Breath, breath, breath~
Krueger naturally knew that his good brother, Eduardoâs death, was far from simple.
But just like he said.
Whether itâs him or other members of the Franger Clan, no matter how they investigate, they canât uncover the cause of Eduardoâs death.
