Chapter 709: Ordinary conversation (6)
Rene placed the teacup in front of Lucy, studying her expression carefully.
She seemed to be in a good mood. She was so oblivious that she was absentmindedly kicking her feet and humming.
She didn’t come here first, that’s for sure—she must have seen everyone else before coming to me.
It wasn’t unusual. If it were in the past, maybe I would have felt differently. But now, the connection between Lucy Allen and me is only this much.
"Here. This is chocolate made by the most famous pastry chef in the capital."
"You act so confident, and this is all you brought?"
"If you want, I can have all the palace chefs summoned right away. If I tell them it’s for the hero who saved the continent, they’ll gladly cook."
"...No, I’ll politely decline."
"Isn’t this exactly the grand gesture you wanted?"
"Men who say things like that aren’t popular."
"Haha. I’ll be careful."
Rene laughed lightly as he saw Lucy frown at his response.
