章節 209: Steel Beats Iron

Aster was in his office with Esther Yvette. Esther was sitting properly, lips perked up and bowed her head slightly, "Thanking Grand Duke Aster for inviting me here."

Aster laughed dry, he felt that Esther had changed. Back then, when he was still a Young Lord, Esther would respect him, but would still act informal in front him. But after he became the Grand Duke, it felt like she alienated herself from Aster.

"I feel like I'm talking to another person here," Aster commented lightly. Esther giggled, she also covered her mouth while doing so.

"It is just Milord's imagination. But you are still my higher-up, nonetheless. I cannot just act rashly in front of you, proper etiquette should be maintained, is it not?" Esther explained, which Aster nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, but the reason why I want you to be here, will be more than just maintaining formality with each other," Aster smiled.
