"No, of course not!" Tania denied even though her face now looked nervous. Shy girls have a hard time hiding lies. Mentally weaker than the others. "I'm not interrogating you at all." Her fingers gripped the damp grass. "I am only amazed at you because you can be good friends with Duke Kleo. Isn't that a very proud achievement?"
"It's not difficult to be friends with His Grace," Stefanus nodded after deciding not to accuse her of such things. "Because he's an outgoing person. It's just that he has his way of making friends, and considers someone to be in the realm of his friendship."
"It means you are great to see Duke Kleo's tender heart when so many people judge him badly." A crooked smile stretched on her lips, like an asymmetrical crescent moon.
"They just don't know what his real character is. They only judge from the outside."
