Selma Payne's POV:
Hey! Why was I constantly being tricked today?
"I'm not lying to you." She forced herself to be serious, although she couldn't help but laugh. "But it's not that serious. Don't worry. No one will fight for you publicly and cause you a social death. Maybe ancient minions were like that, but our situation is very different from ancient times. At least, I've never heard of any minion with independent thinking."
"That's why my emotional connection with you isn't that close. Although I'll be close to you, like you, and admire you, it's far from the point where I'll be jealous of you. Don't show that kind of expression, or do you want to turn your life into an idol drama?"
I rolled my eyes and ignored her.
"Be careful, Your Highness," she teased me. "A goddess wouldn't do such an unsightly action."
"You don't look close to me, like me, or admire me at all," I said. "Is this the attitude of a priestess to the goddess?"
