"Believe me, really! The City Lord and I truly don't have that kind of relationship!..."
Until the two women left, Landon was trying hard to explain that there was no such relationship between him and the City Lord.
However, with a single comment, Alisa left Landon at a loss for words.
"If there's no such relationship, then why would the City Lord make you his personal manservant?"
"That... sorry, that's my secret..."
He hemmed and hawed for a while, then Landon suddenly realized that he seemed to have been led into a dead end.
"No need to apologize, Landon, we are the ones who should be sorry."
Lanni nodded considerately, putting herself in his shoes, she could understand the pain in Landon's heart at that moment.
"No more words needed, Landon bro, I believe there's nothing between you and the City Lord."
"Yeah, I believe you too, Landon. And the teacher hasn't told anyone else about this; right now, only the few of us know, so rest assured."
