While thinking so, Abyss looked at Carlotta.
In his ears, he heard Carlotta just say, "... What's more, I have the Crown Prince and the Empire's Strongest Male Abyss by my side, and they can guarantee my safety in the Duke's Mansion."
Hearing himself being called the strongest male in the empire by Carlotta, the tips of Abyss's ears began to heat up.
Carlotta had actually recognized his excellence in public!
Realizing that his heart was beating a little fast, Abyss frowned.
Could it be that he was having fun because of Carlotta's praise?
How could it be.
Abyss surveyed Carlotta out of the corner of his eye, making excuses for his behavior: he just didn't expect Carlotta, who would always go toe-to-toe with him, to compliment him, and definitely wasn't being happy.
