Since I wanted to discover what Alicia was planning, I was acting like how the old Callius did in front of her to see her reactions. Since the original Callius thought Alicia was the only person she could rely on at that time, he would always behave more politely and docile in front of her and would always try to please her. Although that was the act of a simp, at the same time, it was not.
In the first place, he was not simping for the Alicia. He was actually trying to fill the emptiness that resulted because of the absence of his mother and good parenting. Now, you might think, Callius' father Austin trained only him and him alone, so wasn't he filling this emptiness?
Guys, sorry for not posting. I was busy with my project. Here is the chapter, hope you enjoyed it.
