Hearing that, he smiled and said, "Smart? Me? Oh, please. Of course not. If I was smart, I would have handled those nobles properly before you returned."
Hearing that, Heena sighed as she grabbed his arm and said, "It's not your fault. These old bastards are like this. Do you know, when my mother first married here, they acted the same way."
Hearing that, Larus perked up, because Heena rarely talked about her parents, so of course he wanted to listen.
Heena noticed his interest and flicked his forehead, saying, "Don't look so interested, because I'm not telling you more."
Hearing that, he looked at her with exaggerated grief and said, "What? Can I not even hear about my mother-in-law now? That's wrong."
Hearing that, Heena looked at him and said, "Yeah, yeah. Says the person who made me look like this." She gestured at her disheveled appearance and the marks all over her body.
