When Theo heard that from Lysara, he looked at her for a moment.
He didn't think much but shot out what he had in mind.
"Miss Lysara," Theo spoke, making her look at him with her beady eyes.
"Would you like to be in contract with the Merrick Barony?" Theo asked.
Lucien looked at Theo with surprise before his gaze went to an even more surprised Lysara.
Until a very sad expression crept over her face.
"...I am sorry, young master. But I have already been contracted with a noble family for 10 years..." she said while looking into his eyes.
At that moment, Theo could tell right away that she regretted forming a contract with a family before coming here.
"Unfortunate that is... Well, 10 years aren't that far," Theo spoke and offered to take her hand in his, which she happily gave.
Theo placed a peck on her hand again before moving up. All of them looked at the interaction with different emotions.
