บท 302: The Red Scarf

"Basen, are you sure Her Majesty will be pleased if I give her this gift?" Marlene bit her inner lips and repeatedly looked at the knitted scarf in her hand. "This gift doesn't look that good."

Basen opened the wooden boxes in the warehouse to check on their food supplies. He had nothing else to do, so he decided to help the servants.

"You know, madam would accept your gift happily even if you only gave her a muddy stone," Basen replied nonchalantly.

Marlene approached Basen, then shook her hand so the snake demon could pay attention to her instead of the wooden boxes. "You're so mean. How could Her Majesty be happy when she receives such a bad gift?"

Basen sighed. He finally realized that Marlene was very different from his sister. Maulvi would probably roll his eyes lazily when Basen threw in a wicked joke, but Marlene instantly labeled him as an asshole.
