"I must then take my leave, milady-,"
"Cataleya." She corrected immediately.
"Apparently, I'm not allowed to address you in your name." Stefan smiled.
"By whose order?"
"The duke," Stefan answered.
"It's just the two of us. You can call my name." She said.
"I really can't."
"Oh, alright. I didn't know I made you uncomfortable, lord Stefan." Cataleya said in understanding which didn't really sit well with the chief of the knight.
"However, you, can call my name."
"Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"Unfair?"
"You want me to be casual to you but you're not willing to do so with me. I understand that the duke might want to create a sense of formality among us here. But in doing so in many occasions, I never really gain some close friends or acquaintances of the same interest." Cataleya explained.
