Demetrius said, "You don't need to act all lovey-dovey in front of me, you know."

Jeremiah adjusted his cuffs with quiet precision, his tall, commanding presence exuding confidence. "You'd better get used to it, he said. "This is going to happen a lot."

Their eyes met, and a knowing smile passed between them. No words were needed-despite their differences, they shared at bond, a commitment to protect someone they both cared about. That was enough to keep them from being enemies.. The silent understanding formed an unspoken friendship for two men as powerful as they were. Demetrius turned his wheelchair with ease, a faint smile curling his lips as he quipped, Shouldn't you be calling me 'brother' by now?" Jeremiah walked over to the table in the middle of the room. He poured himself a glass of water and casually replied, "We

talk about that after you cough up the fee."

Demetrius froze in mid-turn, then chuckled. "Fair enough. You're the major general of Clusia. I'd be embarrassed if I couldn't afford something respectable for you," he said.

Jeremiah poured a second glass of water expressionlessly and handed it to Demetrius, saying. And you, as the nephew of Mysonna's president, with half the country's economy under your control, I'll wait to see what kind of gift you bring." Demetrius sat in his wheelchair, holding the glass of water, his hand frozen mid-air. A flicker of surprise crossed his face, wondering, Jeremiah can figure out who I am just from a name

He set the glass down slowly, masking his reaction with casual indifference. "How did you find out?" he asked. The admiration in his eyes was quick, but he quickly tried to conceal it.

Jeremiah leaned back casually against the armrest of the couch, a small smile playing on his lips. "I guessed," he said. "The surname 'Becker isn't exactly common in Mysonna, and it just so happens to belong to the president." "Add that to your demeanor-do you really think anyone would believe you're just an ordinary guy?" he asked

Demetrius had not expected Jeremiah to compliment him, even if it was indirect. Still, he couldn't deny it-he liked it.

Demetrius replied, "That's it? Sounds a bit reckless. What if I weren't who you thought I was? Wouldn't that be awkward? Or maybe awkwardness doesn't bother you."

Though Demetrius acknowledged Jeremiah's cleverness, his tone still carried a sharp edge. After all, he's the man who has won Yvette over, he thought.
