Concern

Livia looked at Amalia with a serious expression, blinked, and spoke softly.

"Then I'll wait and see."

A shared topic was crucial for building a connection. That night, Livia gained far more than she had in all her previous visits combined.

After selecting the books she wanted, Amalia said softly, "I'll take good care of them."

There was a lock in her room. To prevent Auri from accidentally damaging the books, she planned to store all the borrowed items in the closet and take them out only when she needed to read them.

Hearing this, Livia's expression remained unchanged. "That's good."

"By the way, leave this gem with me for now and return it to me in a year."

After saying this, Livia handed the white gem back to Amalia.

"Since there's no formal contract here, it wouldn't be proper for me to take the gem in advance."
