eight.

His eyes on me changed day by day as I kept pushing Cassis into a corner with my senseless acting.

The day I had tea time with Cassis.

He was looking at me warily. Like he thinks he'll get hit this time.

I slowly began to provoke him with a bright smile.

"Cassis is grown-up, so you'll like black tea more than milk when you eat cake, right?"

I quickly dragged the milk in front of Cassis in front of me.

Cassis then countered by dragging the milk back in front of him.

He had a friendly smile on his face, but his words didn't match his expression.

"Evelyn is a greedy person. Trying to drink all the milk."

Hmph. What did you just say?

"No. Cassis said it last time. Are you still drinking milk with cake? You said you had to eat it with black tea to find out the true taste of the cake. So I'll drink this."

"When did I ever..."

"May, isn't Cassis really great? I can't drink black tea because it's too bitter. He's so mature."

I quickly sought agreement from the maid before he rebutted.

May said with a surprised look.

"Oh, young master. I'm sorry. If I had known, I would have brought black tea. I'll get it right away."

"....."

"Why, that's great. May, from now on, give Cassis a cup of black tea."

"Yes, I will. Miss."

"Cassis. From now on, tell my servants as well as me comfortably. This is my home, but Cassis is like my family. Okay?"

When I talked with a smile, Cassis's face darkened. He shook his head reluctantly.

When May brought the tea, Cassis drank it with a tearful face.

【T/N: im starting to feel bad come here bb 🥺🤲✨】

His face frowned as the bitter tea went in.

Hehehe. This is just the beginning.

I tried hard to not look at Cassis drinking the tea, pretending to be okay, and smiled viciously.

***

Eventually, Cassis was exhausted by my work and effort in a matter of days.

It was obvious that he didn't fight like he did before.

After only a month of living in Montez, he couldn't handle me.

This is my area.

No matter where I am, there is no place I don't know, and there's no person I don't know, my perfect space.

Besides, I've been keeping an eye on Cassis, so I knew about the enemy very well.

Dare to give me a challenge?

I was walking my own way, forgetting that Cassis was the male protagonist.

Today, I waited for Cassis to tease him, and I ran to greet him.

"Hi, Cassis?"

"Haa."

As soon as Cassis saw me, he let out a deep sigh. He already seemed to have lost all his energy after being attacked intensively by me.
