Capítulo 105: Ale's Ulterior Motive

"How long has she been practicing?"

Ale asked casually. It was so casual that the Marchioness instinctively started answering his question.

"Since yesterday- ah.. "

The Marchioness paused. Halfway through her sentence did she come to realise that something was seriously wrong with that nonchalant question from Ale.

"umm.. 'P-practice'? W-what do you mean by that-?"

'Whoops.'

Ale made a mistake.

The Marchioness answered Ale's question without much thought, and only realised something was wrong halfway through it.

As someone who was informed of her 'lessons', Ale should not use the word practice when describing her state. He shouldn't know what she was doing. It was meant to be a secret.

'I don't even have an excuse..'

Ale kept his smile plastered on his lips instead of trying to come up with an excuse. No. Even if he wanted to, there wasn't enough time.
