Chapter 44

"Sure. Little one."

Ocula propped his chin on his fingertips and smiled leisurely. His tone was subtly softer than before.

"Your tongue is as smooth as ever today."

"Your praise is too kind."

"Sure. I like it."

Ocula straightened his back.

"Everyone must be curious, if not cursing, about the whims of this old man today."

"That would never happen, Mother."

A smooth voice sounded. It was Calypso's uncle, Björn, who had been quiet until now. He was known to be less astute than his older brother and Calypso's other uncle, Rodessen.

"Sure."

Ocula nodded slightly.

"I hear something interesting happened at our family's educational institution?"

"..."

"Bring out all the parties involved."

The direct attendants moved swiftly.

"Please come out, Lady."

Thus, Calypso, who had just sat down, had to stand up again.

'No, if you're going to do this, why did you make me sit in the first place? It's obvious. This old woman just loves to play these dirty mind games.'

She understood the reason.

Her father, who had not shown his face in a long time, must have been displeased.

He had deliberately placed her in this seat to put her in her place.

"If you're worried about your seat, don't be."

"Are you saying it will be gone?"

"It will be gone in a moment."
