"That was quite rude, M," Lasyana began, but she didn't wait for the young man's response. "I was also rude for making you wait so long, so I'll overlook your discourtesy."
Lasyana wanted to tease M a little by asking why he was staring at her like that. However, she realized something was different. Unlike all the men she had met before, M wasn't looking at her chest or thighs. Not at all. From the moment he saw her, his red eyes had been completely fixed on hers.
This was the first unique experience of the empress's life. She didn't know what was going through the young man's mind, but it wasn't a bad thing. More than that, it felt refreshing. Lasyana felt more respected. While she enjoyed asserting her superiority as the number one woman, receiving a gaze like M's gave a unique impression.
"...Everything Delphia said about you is absolutely true, Empress Lasyana."
