Chapter 743: Someone important

"You really think it’s going to be easy for you to be my boyfriend?" Dora asked, her eyes glinting with amusement as she glanced at Kael from the passenger seat.

Kael shot her a look, rolling his eyes while keeping one hand steady on the steering wheel. "I’ve already met Minister Sterling and your mother. I’m pretty sure they like me. After all, they did approve my dating you, didn’t they? And I convince you, most importantly. So, I’m pretty sure the others are going to be a walk in the park."

Dora snorted," My mama and papa are the easiest people to get the approval from. What you need is the approval of the rest of the family. As far as Demetri and Nora are concerned, you might get Nora’s approval because she is a romantic and her approval is Demetri’s approval.. But the rest... Let me warn you, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Very soon, you will have the chance to meet Evana, Isabella, Olivia, Ava and Autumn. And then you will question your entire existence."

Kael raised an eyebrow at that. He knew the names of the women. They were all Frosts, and powerful in their own rights. "You mean I don’t have to worry about the Frosts but their wives."

"No. You have to worry about pleasing them all." Dora answered sweetly, making Kael almost feel scared.

"Are you really trying to scare me from your family? That is not a tactic I expected from you."

"Hah! I am not trying to scare you but warn you so that you are prepared. But, I can see that you’re not nervous at all. But you will be. According to Cai, any and all of them are going to be here anytime.

"Wait," Kael’s voice tightened with surprise and sudden trepidation, "all of them?"

Dora nodded with a wicked grin. "Mm-hmm. All of them. At once."

Kael blinked, staring straight ahead as if his future was flashing before his eyes. He could already picture the intense scrutiny. It was almost like the time he was being assessed by his master to become the crown prince...

"So," he said slowly, trying to sound nonchalant, "what happens if they don’t like me? Will you break up with me?"

Dora leaned back again, gazing out the window as if considering her answer carefully. Then she shrugged casually. "I won’t break up with you. But, you know,them not liking you is not a problem for me." As Kael breathed a sigh of relief at her answer, she continued," No big deal. They’ll just make your life miserable until you break up with me."

Kael gave her a sideways glance, unsure if she was joking or not. "That’s comforting," he muttered dryly.

Dora laughed again, patting his arm. "Don’t worry, Kael. You’ve got a little time to prepare... before they completely destroy you."

"Great," he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Just what I needed to hear."

Dora laughed at that and shook her head," Relax. You just need to be yourself and take care of me. As long as they see your sincerety, they will not bother you. So, tell me about your Master."

"Are you not scared of meeting him? He is an important person in my life." Kael asked. Even though he pretended nonchalance, it was important to him that the people in Dora’s life do not have a problem with him.

"We have been out on one official date and you are already taking me to see him, isn’t that a bit too soon? The media will have a field day." Dora asked casually. She was nervous but of course there was no need to show it and let him gloat.

"The media won’t be an issue. Master lives a completely secluded life, far from the public eye. Only a few trusted servants are around to take care of him, and they’re fiercely loyal. No one outside his circle knows much about him. And trust me, no paparazzi would dare try to invade his privacy."

Dora frowned, "Why’s that? I mean, if he’s so important, why wouldn’t the media be all over this? A recluse like that should be even more of a target for them."

Kael glanced at her iwith expression serious now. "Because anyone who has tried to poke around in his business has quickly found themselves at the end of their career. He may prefer seclusion, but that doesn’t mean he lacks power. In fact, his influence runs deep, and he makes sure his privacy is respected. The media learned that the hard way."

"So, he just... shuts them down? How?"

"Connections," Kael replied with a shrug, though her tone suggested it was anything but casual. "He’s tied to powerful people in the right places and I don’t mean us in Petrovia or even the Royal family... And after a past incident in his family, he became even more guarded. Anyone who crosses him regrets it."

"Nice. Now I am even more interested in meeting him. He sounds my kind of a person. So, what have you told him about me?"

Kael shot her a glance,"Nothing."

"Nothing? What do you mean nothing? You must have told him something about me when you told him you were bringing him to meet me."

"Nah. I didn’t tell him I Was bringing someone along."

Dora sent him a sharp glance then as she treid to read his expression to see if he was joking. But he didn’t look to be joking...

"Are you saying you are going to surprise him with my presence? No no! Kael, what is wrong with you? Turn around, right now! I am not going there without a prios appointment."

Kael laughed and shook his head," Relax! I was just teasing you. I haven’t told him anything about you but he knows. When I called him to say I wanted him to meet someone, he said he would be waiting for you. YOU, okay?Not me..."
