153: Lady Everglade's Scheme

"I know, but your vulnerability is exposed. Someone has to point out that out. You won't be taken seriously if you are that out of shape. You should drop some weight," she advised, wanting him to change for the better.

He opened his mouth, but then closed it, not saying anything in return as he believed he wouldn't be understood. Since he wouldn't be understood, what's the need to get into a pointless argument? It was better to keep his mouth shut and take his leave.

However, as he was leaving, he was stopped by the Lady, who said, "Wait, you still haven't told me why you were eavesdropping." 

Vorian turned around and addressed Lady Everglade, "I couldn't help myself. I was afraid you were here to hold my little brother accountable for giving Nero the thrashing he needed to recalibrate his sense of respect and boundaries. But now, after hearing the true purpose of your visit, I guess I was worrying for no reason."
