"I think... if the King knew you, he would have interacted more familiarly with you."
Brandon Cliff spoke directly, "However, him saying goodnight to you at the end was indeed unexpected."

"If the King isn't the person you're looking for, will you still participate in the royal examination?" Brandon Cliff had come to terms with their relationship as strangers.
"... " Ella Lacey hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I will. Since I'm not working now, I can't afford to keep being idle."
"Good, you're a girl who aspires to achieve more." Brandon Cliff was quite satisfied with her.
