Bab 70: The Royal Ball

Benjamin originally wanted to stand by the window a little longer to analyze the details of the incident in the theater. However, he was interrupted by Jeremy, who opened the door to enter his room.

"Young master, it is time for dinner. The master demands your presence," Jeremy announced as he stood by the door.

Benjamin turned around and nodded at his servant, "Alright. I shall be there soon."

Jeremy acknowledged Benjamin’s reply with a cowardly hum as he left with his head hung low.

Benjamin chuckled as he shook his head.

Since they returned to the Lithurs, Jeremy became much more fearful than before. He would not even look at Benjamin in the eyes, and he looked guilty all the time. Before this, he resembled a skittish rat; now his mannerisms made a turn for the worse. He would shudder in fear if you speak to him in a slightly louder voice.

It seemed that his servant was really affected by the deception he experienced.
