I won't pick up the trash i threw away again

Chapter-48

It was about 30 minutes later that Kalian returned.

Kalian didn't ask me anything, but I was embarrassed to look at his face for no reason, so I looked down at the teacup.

"I've thought about it before, the Lady seems to like teacups."

That was out of the blue. I didn't know what he meant by that, so I looked at him and Kalian added.

"I said it because there's a person in front of me and she kept staring at the teacup."

"Ah."

If Kalian said something like that, it seemed that I had only looked at the teacup.

Oh my. I'm not a child who is just learning etiquette, why do I keep making mistakes like this?

I politely put my hands together and apologized.

"I apologize, Your Majesty."

"You have nothing to apologize for."

Kalian smiled mischievously and stroked his chin.

"Because it's my fault."

"Yes?"

"I'm less attractive than the teacup, isn't that why you don't look at me?

What a ridiculous thing to say.

I hurriedly denied it, thinking that Kalian was having a strange misunderstanding.

"N, no! Your Majesty is attractive enough!"

"I know."

It was rather embarrassing that he took it as if it was obvious. I didn't know what to say.

As I stared blankly at Kalian, he laughed cheerfully.

"Haha, the Lady seems to be weak at jokes like this."

Ah, that was a joke, huh?

I didn't even notice it and reacted like a fool.

"I see, a jo..."

"Well, I was stating the truth."

I was speechless again.

"So, why did you come so early?"

Kalian asked, filling the empty teacup himself.

"Do you not like the mansion you live in?"

"No. I really like it. Thank you for renting me such a nice mansion."

"Renting you, huh?"

Kalian smiled slightly and picked up the teacup.

"Yeah. I'm glad you like it. Then, what is it?"

"I heard from Baron Delrond yesterday that he was very busy. So, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help..."

"Does that mean you're here to work as an aide?"

When I nodded, Kalian looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to take a week off to unwind?"

"I have unwind enough."

"So you're asking me to get you to work right now."

When I nodded, Kalian shrugged.

"The Lady is a workaholic, huh?"

So you don't like it?

Fortunately, Kalian nodded as if it wasn't.

"Well, okay. I was tired because Ver was whining. If you want to help, there's no reason to refuse."

"Thank you."
