Chapter 41

"My Lady, you are so beautiful. I don't believe in your age."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. But I am busy now."

When Edgar went to the mana stone carriage after having a long goodbye with his professor, he saw a knight trying to flirt with his beautiful mother.

The duchess repeatedly made it clear that she wasn't interested, but the knight didn't go away. He was even holding her hand. Therefore, Edgar didn't hesitate to take care of it.

"Sir Cedric, what business do you have with my mother?"

"Oh."

Cedric hastily stood up only when he saw Edgar.

"I was just addressing the duchess."

"Then you should have left after that, why did you take her hand?"

He didn't know what to do at Edgar's cold reply.

"I was just…"

"Three minutes."

"What?"

"Three minutes is enough to take and kiss a lady's hand. Taking more time is rude."

Cedric could almost hear him say 'And I will cut your wrist for that.' He quickly took a step back and bowed to Edgar who was glaring at him.
