Claude jumped up and screamed with excitement.

Belluna peeped toward Claude's room and asked cautiously.

"......Is Claude-nim asleep?"

"Yes, he fell asleep quickly because he went through a lot today."

"He must have been tired."

"I know."

Benjamin, who was silently watching Sarah and Belluna as they nodded and talked, interrupted with a blunt voice.

"I had it the hardest."

"Of course you do, Benjamin. It's all thanks to you that Claude-nim is safe."

"......Yes."

When Sarah smiled and praised him, Benjamin smiled lightly and lowered his eyes. Belluna secretly glared at the sight of him being openly satisfied.

'Anyway, you only act like a full-fledged beast in front of Master.'

In fact, the repair of the Ambrosia mansion was done by Belluna. This was because Benjamin was a magician who specialized in combat magic and was not of any help. It was also Belluna who handled hallucination magic installed throughout the mansion while taking care of all Ambrosia's servants and knights. However, Benjamin, who only protected Claude and the Third Prince's family, was acting so shamelessly in front of their master.

'Sometimes he's more cheeky than Oliven.'

Benjamin glanced up and looked at Belluna as if he felt Belluna's fierce gaze.

"What. Why."

"......Nothing."

Looking at Benjamin shamelessly asking back, Belluna eventually shook her head with a sigh. Then, looking at Sarah, she hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth.

"Master."
