Eva and Karlos were sitting at the ends of the opposite couch, meaning they were seated diagonally from each other, almost like they were trying to test their ability to push their bodies deeper into the couch.

Eva was small enough to do that but Karlos was even bigger than Brigitta, so him trying to stuff himself into the couch just looked ridiculous.

Brigitta raised her eyebrows at the awkward scene after coming back from making some tea.

She placed the pudding and tea hardly on the table and smiled towards Eva frowned towards Karlos.

"What are you doing? You said you wanted to meet her."

"Y,yea, I did......"

It was their little skill they acquired during the War to whisper barely moving the lips.

But she didn't expect it to be used for things like this.

Brigitta sighed.

"Aren't you going to talk?"

"But......I didn't know she would be this small....What if she dies from fright when I talk to her or something......"

What the hell was this dumb Emperor saying?

Brigitta almost said that to his face.

Meanwhile, Eva was dizzy.

When she first opened the door, she thought there was a mountain in front of her.

But when she looked again, it was a person.

Who was really, really big.

His widened eyes were a pretty amethyst color but despite the pretty color, she was scared.

Why, why is this Gang Boss looking man here? I should have got the safety door locked like Detective Glenn said.

While cold sweat was trailing down her back, she saw Brigitta standing behind the big scary person, smiling awkwardly.

Eva then remembered Brigitta embarrassedly asking if she could bring her old friend today.

After that, even in the house, the huge person didn't speak at all.

He looked confused, handing her the pudding then handing it back to Brigitta then back at her. He looked anxious, his eyes moving rapidly everywhere.

When Eva was about to greet him, he jumped a little and moved back.

Guessing by how Brigitta looks at him so pathetically, they must be close but he seemed like a timid person despite his appearance.

When she led him to the living room, he moved like a wooden puppet and sat on the opposite couch from her.

She was amazed at how her couches looked so small when he sat on it.

He wouldn't speak, so Eva didn't know what to say to him.

And thanks to that, this weird and awkward scene was created.

Eva's personality of not enjoying conversations with strangers and Karlos's personality of not being able to talk to women didn't go along like oil and water.

"Ahem."

Brigitta cleared her throat to get their attention.

"Uh, so this is Evangeline, the person I'm living with. A novel author. And this is, the... acquaintance. He is Karl. He is fluent in the Lesan Language so don't worry."
