Lis released Cecil's hand and performed a respectful bow.
No matter what, the lady in front of him, though she was Cecil's mother, seemed more like her sister to Lis, and he held considerable respect for her.
"I... I'll go prepare some tea."
Cecil was still a bit flustered and headed towards the kitchen in a somewhat clumsy manner.
She often visited her mother's place, so she was very familiar with the layout.
Lady Arianna did not stop Cecil, instead watching her daughter with a loving and pitying gaze before turning her attention back.
"Cecil is a good girl, she has been since she was young."
"I've never seen her so shy before, it's really cute."
Lis sat opposite Arianna, not saying much and listening quietly to her words.
"From a young age, she spent most of her life with me."
"Although her father also cherishes her, he's unfortunately quite far away at the Jade City, so he hasn't been able to take care of her often."
