Chapter 518
I was thanked while on watch duty
“His Grace is especially pleased. While you are quite different in age…you have been like a friend to him. Even if he is your instructor, he lowers his guards around you. Though, that also brings out some of his bad habits…”
“Ahaha… Well, as long as he doesn’t force me to do anything, then I am fine… But now that I think about it, he did seem a little different when I first met him.”
“Indeed. He has become fond of you and relaxed a little.”
If I was a friend…then that made me happy.
I never had that many friends, after all… Of course, I wasn’t lonely, because I had leo. But I suppose I looked like a lonely person from the outside.
In any case, while much older than me, Mr. Ekenhard was easy to be around, and I was at ease when talking to him.
We even went on secret outings together to Ractos.
Men were simple, and could get along over such things.
However, I had been incredibly nervous during our first meeting. And I did think he was different then.
