“That guy seriously…”
“Milady, when did you come home? Aarghh… I’m so sleepy.”
Konny looked really tired. Her eyes were red and she kept yawning whenever she talked. After Demian left the room, Lara tried to persuade Konny to sleep.
“Konny, just go to bed early. Are you not feeling well?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Come here.
Lara measured the heat with her palm on Konny’s round forehead. It was warm because she just woke up, but she did not seem like she was ill.
“Milady, isn’t that the palm that Master Demian kissed?”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to wash my face.”
She was very thorough. Disregarding Lara’s bewilderment, Konny ran firmly to the bathroom and washed her face.
“Whew, I’m getting a hold of myself now. I couldn’t sleep at all last night, so I guess I have been sleeping without even realizing that I’m sleeping.”
Lara wondered if Sebastian lent Konny a book again. She asked with a smile.
“Why couldn’t you sleep? Were you reading the Hautean traditional horror storybook again?”
“No, I have been talking to Valentine all night…”
“Huh?”
“It’s my first time seeing the sunrise while talking to a man. I was just lying down on my bed, but it was already morning before I realized it.”
“Konny!”
Lara screamed in the midst of Konny’s rambling, making her raise her head in surprise.
“Are you in that kind of relationship with Valentine without me knowing?”
“Pardon?”
“Are you guys…”
“Huh?”

Konny looked at Lara with her round eyes wide open and soon screamed louder than her.
“It’s not like that!”
“Konny, it’s fine. I understand.”
“It’s not fine! Valentine was in his room and I was in my room! All we did was talk all night! Why is your mind so unhealthy, milady?”
Because your words were misleading.
While she was mumbling, Lara lifted one eyebrow and asked Konny.
“Your room is in the main building and Valentine’s room is in the annex building… How can you talk all night?”
“Oh, about that. Valentine made me a magic receiver.”
“Huh?”
“The black sorcerers live in hiding away from each other. So they created receivers that let the users talk to each other even from afar. It looks like a lamp. But inside it…”
Lara opened her mouth and stared at Konny. Her maid did not seem to have any idea how great of an experience she just had.
“I know It’s fascinating, but you should have also seen him show off! How arrogant is that kid who used to crouch down every day.”
He deserves to be arrogant.
If Valentine could make a long-distance magic receiver, it would mean that people could talk to someone far away without the use of a relic lamp and sorcerer.
With a frightened look on his face, Valentine had been called to the drawing-room. Since the master who abused him since he was young was a woman, Valentine had a habit of crouching his shoulders and gradually walking on eggshells whenever he saw a woman.
That also applied to Lara. As soon as Valentine saw Lara sitting on that sofa in the drawing-room, he visibly and loudly swallowed his saliva. Then, like a hedgehog with its thorns standing out, he came into the room while being wary of her.
“You’re fine with Konny. Why not me?”
When Lara muttered her dissatisfaction, Konny said with a face as if questioning her why she would ask something so obvious.
“Because you look scary, milady.”
“Konny.”
“Still, it’s such a relief. He doesn’t run away anymore.”
When Valentine was first brought to the manor, he used to avoid Lara and Isadora even from afar. Therefore, it could be said that it was a great development for him to be able to sit face to face with Lara.
So that Valentine would not feel uncomfortable, Lara did not drag the conversation long. She immediately brought up the business.
“Make one for me too.”
“M-make what?”
