"Uh, it's a cheap tea leaf so........Here. If you don't like it you can leave it........."

"There are people I know who drink tea like this."

It was better than the terribly bitter tea the Chancellor enjoyed anyway. The Chancellor enjoyed drinking inexpensive tea and using cheap cups. Maximillien lifted the cup.

There was a strange burnt stain on the ceiling which he could not figure out the cause. It happened often when something exploded while he was experimenting but there was no way a woman who had no detectable magical powers would experiment magic.

"Where does my lily sleep?"

"Ah, upstairs......Are you going to say you want to see it?"

"It's not right to peek into someone else's room."

She felt this earlier too but this mage was oddly respectful. He was reckless but at some points he was logical. Eva wondered who he is and how Brigitta wound up with him.

There was growing sympathy for Brigitta inside Eva.

"Then why......"

"It's a place my love will stay so I must check if it's habitable right? Tch, The state of this house is poor. It'll need some investment. Be thankful hay hair. I remodel your house for free."

"What? No. I don't need it! Plus, I don't think Brigitta will like it!"

"Even so, doing it is love."

"No! I am a romance novel author! You have to trust me. That's not it!"

Eva sold out her job to save her precious home.

But the spoiled Duke didn't even bother.

"Hey, don't you know novels and reality are different?"

"I, I know that! But at least consider the words coming from a common fellow woman!"

"My lily isn't common!"

"I know! A swordmaster! I still can't believe it!"

She once heard the baroness say when Eva used to work for her.

She mentioned that mages are people who were in charge of security or something and that they were usually rude and bad-tempered. When the baroness said that, naturally, Eva linked mages negatively in her head and at the moment this mage seemed to fit that negative image.

Eva tried her best to calm her trembling pupils.

"Uh....So you are a noble class?"

"Well, you consider it that."

He was one of the highest members of the noble class that counting down from the top of the list was faster than counting from the bottom. But Maximillien spared those words.

"D, Do you talk often with her? Like a date.....or a meet-up......."

"I went to see her at least once every two months no matter how busy I was. With gifts too."

It was him that was desperately proposing and getting rejected every time but Maximillien spared those words too.

Even if he is known for not caring about others, it didn't mean he always didn't care.
