"Polite word?"

"Yes. Does your lord call you young to Lord Set or Lord Arban?"

Are you saying that to Set and Arban too?

I immediately shook my head and said, "I've never done that."

I've never heard Kaid say anything like that to either of them.

"See? That's because of the polite speech, I said."

"Huh, is that so?"

My mind flashed as if I had just realized something incredible.

I think Messi is right!

Because I didn't speak to him politely, Kaid continued to treat me like a child.

I quickly whispered again.

"So does that mean I should be polite to my dad?"

"Yes. Then, will your thoughts change, Master?"

I nodded vigorously, listening to what Messi was saying.

Asher, who was watching us from the side, made a bewildered expression.

"......I'm sorry to interrupt, but even so, seven years old is still a child."

"What are you talking about, Asher?"

I put my hands on my hips and wiggled my index fingers from side to side.

Seven years old is still a child, but in childhood, seven years old is the most adult.

I didn't forget to thank Messi.

"Thanks for letting me know, Messi."

"Yes. I wish you success, miss. And please be sure to let me know your review."

"of course."

This time, I'm definitely going to hear from Kaid that I'm growing up well.

It was then that Baon's voice was heard from behind.

"I was wondering why you weren't here, but you were with the young lady in the garden."

It seemed that Baon came to look for him himself since Aser did not come even after waiting inside.

Aser gave Baon a light nod.

"I guess I've been taking too long. Come and get it yourself."

"The master is waiting. I will guide you from now on."

When Baon appeared, Messi waved his hand and said cheer up, then disappeared.

He was probably watching from somewhere nearby.

"Come here."

Baon took the lead and led the way.

I followed behind him, side by side with Asher.

Aser, who entered the Black Mamba's stronghold, seemed a bit nervous.

I think it was because the atmosphere was completely different from the previous negotiations.

Baon spoke in a soulless tone.

"Thank you for your hard work coming this far."

"No, but the atmosphere in the mansion seems a little different."

"At that time, I instructed everyone to vacate their seats."

"There was a reason for that. I thought it was so different."

"however......."

Baon opened his mouth. He asked with a hint of curiosity.

"You said that it would take time to make first contact with the Artban family... but you finished it pretty quickly?"
