Mingzhi leaned back on her chair, putting her leg over the other unapologetically. Her expression didn't change at all.
"I'm not asking my daughter Lydia. I'm asking you, Lady Alicia. Can't let a cougar escape our oversight."
"…"
Lydia's jaws opened and closed, absolutely speechless.
Naturally, she preferred others treating her like she was Lady Alicia more than Lydia, but not in this way. Besides, what did Mingzhi mean by cougar?
What's a cougar?
A magical beast, of course, but in this context, it sounded like something else.
She felt like she vaguely understood it before forcefully sitting back on her chair, before she took a deep breath and answered.
"I love him as a sister."
"Are you sure you can stay that way? No matter how I see it, you two are very close, so I have to make sure that it doesn't change in the future."
"Then you should know we do not share such feelings with each other," Lydia answered coldly.
