Meanwhile, Silvia glared at Fabian, who was leading her back to the mansion's entrance hall. She was clearly displeased, but not because she had to welcome Lilou's guest. It was actually an honor for her. But she was annoyed at something or someone else.
"If you planned to kill Ruru, you shouldn't make it so obvious in front of Lilou," she advised, breaking the silence between them. "You know her more than anyone, Fabian."
"My lady, you shouldn't have volunteered if you find this disrespectful," Fabian replied without looking back at her. His eyes were sharp, giving out no other emotion but intimidation.
"It seems there's a problem with your hearing, butler. I didn't volunteer. Someone else did, and I didn't want to disturb Lilou's meal. She hates it."
Fabian shrugged indifferently but his footsteps slowed down a little. "His Grace... you seemed you had already taken a liking to him, my lady."
