"E-excuse me!?" Viesta jumped back, her eyes wide as she stared down at Lillian's teasing expression.
"What~? Come on~! I told you about me an Marionette, so tell me your thoughts on the Council President!"
The corners of Viesta's lips twitched as she gave a crooked and wry smile, "I-I just see her as a reliable person... That's all..."
Lillian, sensing a sense of hesitation, couldn't help but grin widely. She nodded slowly, deciding not to push on any further, "Alright~ alright~... I'll trust you for now."
Standing up from the lid of the chest, Lillian pulled out her phone and decided to take a look at what time it was.
