Hearing her tone, Lila shivered for a second before she realized that there had been some kind of misunderstanding between them. She took a deep breath to calm herself and started speaking through clenched teeth.
"Ahem! Ma'am, you are misunderstanding… I am not looking to get closer to Mr. Mage. It's just that he is the only one I can stand to be close to in the whole party, but since my kingdom is paying me handsomely to be in the party, I have to bear the rest as well."
At first, Evelyn was skeptical, but seeing that she did not seem to be lying, she let it go and removed her gaze from her.
"Sigh~ you can go now and make sure to be careful in the future." Hearing her words, Lila nodded frantically, not wanting to annoy the woman.
