Elennora didn't mean to speak harshly to Levan, but how the man dared to put him in such a difficult position that could infuriate his mother did make his heart uncomfortable.
He had always been very sensitive when it came to his mother. He had long felt tired of winning over his mother's love, and that was why he decided to take a path that would not cross with his mother's so that he would not have to hear how the woman rebuked him.
Even if he said that he was used to being scolded by his mother, Elennora still felt uncomfortable every time he got a handful from the pink-haired woman. After all, that woman was still his mother, and he felt like an unfilial child whenever he was scolded by his mother.
