"This time I'm visiting the Empire in an unofficial capacity, so you don't need to worry about those official or formal invitations," Laine said gently. "Just enjoy this journey, that's all I wanted to tell you."
"To put it bluntly, you could just say this trip is a continuation of your honeymoon with Lady Surya, why make it sound so grand~" Veronica unreservedly teased. "I understand you're considering my feelings, but it's really unnecessary; we're all adults here."
"It's fine if you see it that way," Laine responded with a wry smile.
"Miss Veronica, if you need, I could 'lend' Laine to you for a while," Surya said with a sly smile, holding her teacup while looking at the Jialan Witch, which made Veronica blush deeply.
The Jialan Witch did not refuse, quietly muttering, "Occasionally, depending on the situation."
