Theo looked at his brother with conflicted emotions.
'Huh... He has accepted that there will be a punishment already… And here I thought he will keep his defense' he thought.
"I only came here today to talk to you about this like family, elder brother." Theo spoke, and continued, "I don't want anything to stop us from conveying our thoughts. If you say it was not intentional… it's all that matters. As long as we all are safe." Theo stated, making Lucien lose his smile and look at him with surprise.
"I, as the victim, would not like to put any charges toward my own brother, old man Alfred." Theo stated.
Everyone in the room looked at Theo with surprise. Even Alfred, who was very skilled in not showing his facial expression, showed how dumbfounded he was.
"… Even if you think that, young master Theo, I can do nothing about this situation. Master Lucien will have to stay in his room as long as I don't hear back from the Baron or he comes back… my apologies."
