Book 3: Chapter 28: DLC: The Sea Part 5
Fol surfaced from the water after a swim in the sea along the shallow beachside. Raymond immediately ran over to her and handed her a towel since he was watching over her as her exclusive butler-in-training.
“Lady Fol, here, your towel.”
“Thank you, Raymond. You keep such a good eye on me…Could it be that you were captivated by me wearing a swimming suit? That’s a no, no! You cannot be looking at the young Lady you’re serving like that.”
“Wha—?! It’s nothing like that!” Raymond burst out, turning bright red. However when he saw that Fol was about to break out in laughter, he realized that he was being teased. He pouted a bit.
“Lady Fol, I still don’t know your social status, but since you’re my savior who acknowledged my abilities and saved my family, I will serve you devotedly, no matter who you are.”
“…Continue.”
Fol wasn’t bewildered by his sudden declaration at all and she encouraged him to continue speaking.
Raymond nodded in acknowledgement and began to speak, his hands curling into tight fists.
“However, no matter who you might be, as someone who has the support of a Count, isn’t it essential for you to behave with elegance befitting that role? For example, the swimsuit you wear….and things such as that…right?”
