"Yeah, you can do as you like for now, Natty," Lucian continued, waving his hand lightly, turning his face slightly away to hide the lingering awkwardness inside him. "You still have other work, don't you? You can go now — sorry for taking up your time."
"Not at all, Young Master," Natty replied, bowing her body slightly. Still, even as she said this now, she went ahead and did exactly what the young master had told her to before. "I feel honored to have spoken with you. Well then, I'll take my leave, Young Master. The head butler will scold me if I'm not where I should be right now."
The moment she finished speaking, Natty walked a little closer to June, who was now curled up beside Lucian. Once the distance between them had closed, she leaned down and reached out again to stroke June's head, which felt so soft under her hand. "Lord June, I'm entrusting the Young Master to you, alright?"
