章 223: 218 ※ Duchess Remington's Ball [VIII]

"WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MANIPULATE ME LIKE THIS?" How did this escalate so much?

"Are you, perhaps... friends with Dalilah?"

That would be a sincere surprise. As I said, in my past life I had never seen them near each other. This is quite unsettling. "Of course, I am. Who doesn't want to befriend an amazing and sweet girl like her?" Pardon?

I couldn't help it. I burst into laughter, to the point where I was in tears. "Oh my Goddess, how amusing. That's a surprise. I pity you for falling on that trap, Lady Malia," and the way she stared at me, was like I managed to offend her again.

"Don't speak ill of her in front of me!" How did Dalilah get this girl on her side? And, why?

I sensed someone approaching.
