Emily's eyes flashed with an astonishment nearly bordering on alarm as she casually took off her family crest-embroidered Cloak of Cold Resistance and handed it to Deku, pulling Double Leaf to sit down in front of Motan with a serious expression, repeating, "Are you serious?"
Motan shook his wine glass with a grin, "As for 'myself,' I'm not very serious."
At first Emily was slightly stunned, then, after a long silence, she spoke again, "Then, is the Prince serious?"
"Madam, this..."
Housekeeper Deku seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by a gesture from Emily.
"Let him finish."
The youngest master of the entire Violet Empire shook his head, his gaze complicated as he stared at Motan, "I'd like to hear the reasons."
