Not just end with shake hands, but we also do "brotherhood hugs" to make our friendship deeper. Securing good relation with him equal with stable supply for soybeans and other ingredients that come from Lumon town in the future, and that"s very important to me."Thank you, brother Gandolf"
"It"s my honor to able to serve a great man like you brother Henry"
With clapping sounds from my father and uncle applause, we return to sit back.
"That was wonderful Henry, Gandolf… It reminds me of when I met with your father for the first time. I hope you both can work together well in the future"
"Uncle John, between few people that I admired most, besides my brother and father, you and brother Henry is among them"
"Hahaha…you also know how to talk sweet Gandolf"
"That"s come from the bottom of my heart, uncle, not just empty praise"
"Hahaha…alright. So, will you stay here for any longer? We can play another round of board game. Or you want to stay over and return tomorrow? We have plenty of empty room for you"
"Ah! I"m really sorry uncle John. I wish I can stay here longer but I already promise my father to return today. Also, If I"m staying a little longer, I"m afraid I can"t reach home before dinner time. I also want to tell so many great things I"ve heard, I"ve seen, I"ve experienced in here to my father"
"Oh okay, then give my regards to your father"
"I will, uncle John"
"Brother Gandolf, can you wait for me in the front yard before you leave? I also have something to give to you"
"You too, brother Henry? it seems today we giving less but gain more hahaha"
"Hahaha…whatever, just wait for me there okay"
I leave my father office and heading to the kitchen. When I arrive there, the cooks also just finished packing the food I order them to make into the boxes.
"Young master Henry…you arrive just in time. we just finish packing the food into the boxes"
"Do you also include the sauce to the boxes?"
"Yes, young master. We put one jar of mayonnaise sauce and one jar of salsa sauce too into the boxes"
"Well done, guys! Mrs. Martina, can you help me bring these boxes to the front yard?"
"Of course young master"
Mrs. Martina called two servants to help me carry the boxes to the front yard. When we arrive there, the wagon carts and Gandolf"s carriage already line up in the front yard, ready to depart from our castle. Gandolf is standing near his carriage waiting for me to come.
"Brother Gandolf, sorry to make you wait"
"It"s okay brother Henry, we also just finish prepared to depart"
"Then I only can say have a safe journey, may you arrive at home safely. And here something for you and your men to eat when you feel hungry in the middle of the way"
I ordered the servants to hand the boxes to Gandolf.
"Thank you very much brother Henry. Tomorrow, I will send our cooks to learn and help cooking in your castle"
"I will be waiting for their arrival then"
After putting the boxes in the carriage, Gandolf stands in front of me and stretch his hand for shake hands.
"I guess it"s time for me to leave, but you will see me again soon, brother Henry"
"Hahaha…of course. So, I will not say goodbye but see you later, instead?"
"Yes, see you later brother Henry"
After saying farewell, Gandolf boarding to his carriage and his convoy slowly start moving and leaving Harvard castle. I watch their convoy until the last cart leaves the castle gate.
After sending Gandolf off back to his town, I return to my own room to meet Clara. I already ask Claire to pa.s.s my message to Clara, to wait for me in my room after lunch. When I open my room"s door, I see Clara is already in my room. She"s not sitting there quietly waiting for me, but busy cleaning up and tidying my room. Clara smiled when she saw me enter the room.
"Welcome, Henry…did your business finish yet?"
"One business is done and tons business still waiting to completed"
I answer her question while approaching her and give her a hug before kiss her lips gently.
"Do you waiting for me for long, Clara?"
"Mmm…not really. I make myself busy so I"m not feeling I"m waiting too long"
"I can see that. Thank you to make my room always look clean and neat, Clara"
"I just did my job Henry, nothing special"
"Then you just did a good job, Clara"
Clara"s cheeks become a bit reddish when I praise her work. Well, girls like being praised by the man they love, aren"t they?
"Mmm…you not told me to wait for you here just to praise my works, right?"
"Ah right, take off all your clothes now, Clara"
I told her to strip while releasing her from my hug. Clara looks at me with the puzzled look on her eyes.
"Henry…you ask me to get naked?"
"You hear it correctly, Clara…so, start to peel your clothes now"
Although confused, Clara starts takes her clothes off one by one. Start from her maid dress uniform followed by her maid skirt then her corset which leaves her only wearing her loincloth to cover her crouch. I watch her stripes while sitting on the chair near my desk, enjoying each time her clothes fell to the floor like watching striptease.
