Lucius looked at Loriel intently. "So, do you have any problem with my gender?"
"Nah, I am just surprised. I don't have a problem," Loriel quickly lied. "Can we see the baking classroom? I am interested in learning baking too. That's why I came here with Elise today."
Loriel was quick-witted. If he suddenly forbade Elise from attending her baking class with Lucius, she might suspect that Loriel was petty and it might make her resent him. No… Loriel didn't want to risk it.
Maybe it would be better if Loriel joined her in the class. That way he could spend more time with Elise, and he could also keep an eye on Lucius.
So, he just pretended to be interested in baking. Loriel was a good liar and he could make his words sound convincing. Well, it seemed Lucius bought it.
