Sponsorship Secured

Ha Eun grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears. She was distressed, and me calling her out definitely didn't help her out. Lilith let out a sigh.

'Even if you're right, that doesn't mean you could be so cruel to her,' Lilith telepathically told me.

'I hate it when people are fake,' I sighed.

'That doesn't change the fact that she was practicing good judgment in putting up an appearance. Most nobles wouldn't even bother to come, and even fewer would stay if it is a mess,' Lilith scolded me.

'I'm not most nobles.'

'How was she supposed to know that?'

Ha Eun gathered her bearings. She bowed her head again.

"I apologize for lying to you. It is as Lord Smarus said. I used a large portion of our funds to try to appeal to you two so that you wouldn't change your minds about the sponsorship," She confessed.

"Tell me something I don't know," I sighed.

"Smarus!" Lilith slapped my shoulder.
