"Well, this behavior is truly despicable."

The middle-aged man nodded and glanced at the little girl in front of him.

"The Duke sees it clearly."

"Yes, it's really despicable."

The two echoed loudly.

Later on...

"But it's really strange though."

The middle-aged man said with a hint of confusion.

"Strange?"

"Is there a problem? Your Grace, if there's anything you don't understand, we can explain it in detail."

To this, the middle-aged man just shook his head.

"No, it's not that."

"Not that?"

"Then what is it?"

Upon hearing this, the two men were even more puzzled.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled calmly.

"Just...what I saw seems to be different from what you said."

..."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man say this, the two fell silent immediately.

But the middle-aged man's words were far from over.

"It's really strange, why is what I saw different from what you said? Did you make a mistake? Or did my eyes deceive me? Well, I guess it's because I misjudged, after all..."

Saying this, the middle-aged man squinted meaningfully.

"My eyes seem to be acting up lately."

..."

After a moment of silence, the two men spoke again.

"This, this must be our mistake. How could Your Grace make a mistake?"

"Yeah, Your Grace could never be wrong, so it must be our mistake, yes, it must be."

As if to convince themselves, the men repeated this several times.

At this, the middle-aged man's smile softened slightly.

"Is that so? Since you all say so, then it must be correct."

"Ah, yes."

"Yes, that's it."

The two men quickly nodded in agreement.

"So, is there anything else?"

The middle-aged man turned his head and inquired.

"No, everything is fine."

"Yes, our matters, we will take care of them ourselves, Your Grace need not worry."

"Is that so? Since you all say so, I shouldn't push it further, after all...some things must respect the opinions of those involved."

"That's right, Your Grace is absolutely right."

"Yes, so, we'll take our leave, please take care, Your Grace."

After giving a slight bow, the two men hurriedly left.

So, are you really not good buddies?

After that, only the middle-aged man and the little girl were left at the scene.

Seeing that the two men had gone, the little girl turned around, picked up the buckets with a stick, and then started to walk away.

But before that.

"Little girl, wait."

A voice from behind stopped her in her tracks.

"?"

The little girl turned around in confusion to see the middle-aged man walking towards her.

Could it be that he has something to say to her?

Though uncertain, the little girl stopped and set down her burden, then shifted her gaze to the middle-aged man.

Approaching her, the middle-aged man spoke with a slightly excited tone.

"Little girl, could you carry these buckets again?"

"....Okay."

Though not understanding his intentions, the little girl complied, casually picking up the buckets as usual.

The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh...to be able to carry them so effortlessly, and it's four of them, but what's most unbelievable is that the one carrying them is just a teenage girl!"

"?"

Since carrying buckets was a routine task for the little girl, she couldn't comprehend why the middle-aged man was excited about it.
