This was what he thought.
"..."
The black-haired girl opposite him was momentarily stunned. Her Sakura lips parted as if unsure of what to say, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.
It was the first time in her life that she had been praised so directly, especially by someone looking at her so sincerely... Yet she knew it wasn't meant for her, so besides feeling strange, there was also a trace of embarrassment. At the same time, she became increasingly intrigued and curious.
Was this person really the type to say such things? Doing this kind of thing, it was completely unlike the other men of the Martial Family from this era.
At least from her impression, those men should not talk like this, even if their love was deep. When communicating, they wouldn't be so... so... emmmm, she couldn't find the right words for a moment.
Alright, it seems the flattery was quite effective…
