Lilith couldn't help but smile when she saw how indifferent Richard was toward those who looked down on their relationship.
Although this engagement wasn't something she had originally wanted, she truly had been waiting for him to grow up—to eventually become her lover.
At the very least, his behavior as a child made her optimistic that he would become quite an interesting man once he matured.

After observing for a moment, he noticed that Lilith was no longer that much taller than him.
Perhaps he had simply grown taller.
At eight years old, his growth had begun to accelerate.
In this world, children truly matured faster—ten years old was already the age when they began working, and by fourteen or fifteen, commoners could already marry.
Magus tended to live busier lives, so they matured slightly slower, yet even they often tasted the sweetness of love around that age.
