"No, you praise me too much." –Elena said.

"Such humbleness. I believe you deserve all the praise I can master." –Leon said. He was using the 'buttering up' skills he had learned to his fullest. Only this time he really felt he was telling the truth instead of lying in order to please his patrons. Just listening to her voice could satiate the thirst in a man's heart. How could he praise such a woman too much?

"Mr. Leon, now you are embarrassing me." –Elena replied.

"If that's the case, I won't say it anymore. Even so, I truly would like you to know that I really meant what I said." –Leon.

"Then I'd receive your good wishes with an open heart." –Elena said.

Berdly just kept looking at the interaction between the two from the side.

Elena was like… she was in the zone. Talking like proper noble and all.

He never saw her talk this formally with anyone.

Her standing posture was perfect.
