The corner of Al's lips curled slightly into a faint smile.
"Mind if I ask you something?" he asked casually.
The servant felt a bit disappointed—his initial provocation hadn't worked. Still, he remained motivated, searching for another opening to complete his mission.
"Hmm… what is it? As long as it's not something strange, I suppose it's fine. Don't tell me you're asking about the female servants again," the servant replied.
He was trying to provoke Al by bringing up the previous issue, when Al had been accused of being a womanizer—even though it had already been proven false.
Yet Al remained unfazed. He simply shook his head, then asked,
"How are servants who act insolent toward their master usually punished in elit household?" he said with innocent expression.
The servant recoiled slightly, feeling confused.
"Huh? Why ask something like that? Are you planning to punish me?"
Al shook his head again.
