Seeing Colonel Fraser's prolonged lack of response, Miss Biqi also let out a sigh of relief and, under the Colonel's astonished gaze, the young lady from the knightly family relaxedly replied:
"I actually don't like you either; I just didn't want to hurt your feelings, so I've been trying to accommodate your trip these past few days. Of course, this isn't to say you don't have charm, Fraser.
Actually, I can confidently tell you that you are the finest peer I have seen from my childhood to adulthood, without exception!
