Arena Four: The Fall V

"Thank you."

The blonde young man smiled as the maid put the cup of tea in front of him. The maid blushed and bowed before hurriedly leaving.

Seeing that whole interaction, the other young man sitting inside the room frowned.

"Drop the fucking smile."

He hissed as he grabbed his own cup of tea.

"Now now, Jeffery. No need to get angry."

The young man, Phillips Winchester, laughed as he gracefully sipped his tea.

"Gah... You..."

Jeffery Valentina, who was hiding himself inside the Winchester Mansion, grumbled as he drank the high-quality tea.

He then glanced at the wall behind Phillips, where several portraits of Anastasia could be seen.

"How can you be so calm after the girl you loved died?"

Jeffery asked shamelessly, even though he was the one to blame for her death. Phillips's hand shook a bit, but just for a second. The next moment, he was calmly sipping his tea with a smile.
