Louis was even smiling charmingly at the camera with that kind of smile that countless women would definitely fall for.

On the contrary, Zachary frowned, and his face darkened as he stared at the picture and asked Bruce, “Ppfftt… Just look at his face! He thinks he’s so good-looking and all that, huh?”

Bruce was at a loss for words and looked at Zachary rather submissively. “Eh-hem… Are you jealous, Mr. Nacht? Might I remind you that he’s your only friend?”

It was true that Zachary had been aloof and arrogant since young. His unapproachable temperament left him with very few friends, and because of that, Louis was his only true friend.

Louis was two years younger than Zachary. From an early age, he had been cautiously protected and unduly pampered. Hence, he grew up in a strict household, where there were all sorts of rules imposed on his life, studies, and even his social circles.

He was raised in the castle and seldom explored the world outside. Everyone he knew was but the noble and prominent men from the upper echelon of the society. Due to conflicts of interests, others from the royal family were somewhat scheming against him.

 

Apart from that, some businessmen were too mercenary and guileful, and Louis couldn’t really associate with them.

Thus, Zachary was the only one whom he could actually confide in. Even though he appeared a little distant, he would never plot against Louis at the very least.

 

Besides, they were like the two poles in dualism. While one was reticent, another was expansive. They contrasted each other like ice and fire.

Nevertheless, contemporaneously, the glaring polarity between them was also complementary. Hence, by degrees, a seedling of friendship grew between them.

“And you, Mr. Nacht, are also his only friend,” Bruce added.

Zachary frowned in bewilderment. “What do you mean by that?”
