Heart Felt Response

Ty, noticing the lady's initial shock, attempted to soften the situation with a gentle wave and a soft-spoken introduction. "Sorry for worrying you, ma'am, but I am a friend of Nanako," he said, his tone calm and reassuring.

However, his words seemed to have the opposite effect. The lady at the desk transitioned from scared to visibly annoyed in an instant. Standing up abruptly, she slammed her hands on the desk, causing loose papers to flutter in disarray. "That is Lady Nanako to you, you pile of bones!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of anger and indignation.

Realizing the intensity of her reaction, she gradually regained her composure, though her frustration was still evident. "I don't know why I expect a disgusting monster to know anything about royalties," she muttered, her words sharp and demeaning.
