56 Know your place.

"With how much I have done for you in all these years if you still choose a mere maid over me, then I'd believe I was a fool before and would stop pursuing you entirely.

So please give your answer, Seraphina.

It is something very important for me."

Vaan spoke with a cold look on his face.

"…"

Seraphina turned silent.

She wasn't given much of a choice here.

She glanced at Lily who kept her pride away for her sake and was still kneeling on the ground, she didn't wish to do it but in the end,

Seraphina clenched her fists,

"Lily, you can leave. You do not have to come starting tomorrow."

Seraphina had to throw Lily away.

"L-Lady Seraphina…?"

Lily was absolutely shocked.

"But Lady Sera-"

"Know your place, Maid." This time, Vaan was the one who spoke up.

Then, he glared at Lily and,

"Be glad that you are even alive after what you have done.

If you weren't Sera's servant, I would have killed you right here and now.
