Upon arriving at her quarters, she saw the servants on their side moving about busily, a sign that Romeo and Calix had returned.
*Perfect timing.*
She planned to ask them to go to the ball with her as well.
Lellia knocked before entering Romeo's room. He happened to be talking with Calix.
"How was the playboy act? Did it go well?"
Calix asked, spotting her and gesturing with his chin.
Lellia nodded confidently and smiled. Then, she told them about what had happened that day.
She finished by asking them to accompany her to the ball.
"Another damn banquet?"
Calix grumbled in annoyance.
"It's an era of peace."
"Did they create this peace themselves? They didn't do a damn thing, yet they make such a fuss."
Lellia listened to their conversation and thought.
*Calix is a lost cause.*
He clearly had no intention of going. Lellia turned to Romeo, hopeful.
To be honest, she was a little scared to attend the ball alone. She thought it would be better if she had her friends by her side.
"Alright."
Romeo readily agreed. Calix seemed surprised, but Romeo was unfazed.
Lellia let out a sigh of relief.
Romeo smiled casually, his eyes briefly flicking to her wrist.
After that, Lellia went into detail about how she had pretended to be a playboy at the tea party.
Her story made Calix and Romeo howl with laughter, clutching their stomachs.
In the midst of their laughter, Romeo asked.
"By the way, your voice sounds a little different."
"Oh, this. It's, uh... the person who raised me got me an alchemy potion for it."
"I see."
Romeo replied as if it were nothing. Calix, paying no mind at all, sprawled out on the sofa.
Lellia breathed a sigh of relief that Romeo had accepted her explanation without suspicion.
It was a relief, really. Those two were so simple.
But when Lellia turned her head away, Romeo's expression was so cold it would have startled anyone who saw it.
