“I don’t often attend events like this with someone. You should be happy rather than worried… Or am I not attractive enough to be your partner for the night?”
“No, not at all.” Joke hurriedly waved his hand. “Uh… You’re very beautiful today. Too beautiful that it makes me nervous.”
Obviously, he meant that it would make others hate him more than before. However, his unintentional compliment made the other party blink several times before giggling.
“It looks like you are quite a danger to women.”
“Huh?”
Her words stunned him, but she only followed up with a shake of her head and a soft smile.
“There’s no need to worry. Part of the reason why I’m here is that Rose asked me to.”
“Madame Fon?”
Joke raised his brow while Lia nodded in confirmation.
“Me being with you like this might be a declaration to others, telling them that you are acknowledged by other Royal Dragon masters. At the very least, it can help you look more intimidating.”
