"P-Please, give me a chance. I promise I will do anything you ask of me. P-Please, help me out, Lady Victoria. Don't take away my financial aid."
The woman begged as she clutched Lady Victoria's feet.
It was a semi-public setting, and the servant's eyes glared at the trembling mage kneeling in front of the lady. But Lady Victoria had no sympathy for her.
Instead of assuring the female that she would help or even helping her up herself, Lady Victoria turned toward Lila and addressed her instead.
"Do you see this, my dear Lila? This is the true nature of humans. They are pitiful beings who are weak and always need help. That is why gods exist—to help these humans out. But because of this, they exhaust themselves and end up being in danger. That is what happened to your beloved Goddess Minerva as well."
The more Lady Victoria spoke, the more she watched the begging woman tremble.
