"Hughes…lackey? Wait mademoiselle, you are gravely mistaken–"
The noble lady walks towards them, stomping her feet.
"Why do you defend this girl? Are you perhaps another of his followers?"
Marthel then realizes that the noble lady was talking about the young staff member who is now tightly holding on to the pouch he gave. With teary eyes, the girl pushes Marthel away as she shuts the door down.
"See how ill mannered she was!? Those kinds of people are the results of Hughes' influence."
Marthel clenches his fist. He then remembers what he told Vivianne way back then; that they cannot let emotions get the best of them. And so, he just pretends-
"Ah, I'm sorry. Like I said, I was just curious about the status of GEO in this society. Turns out they don't seem to operate that much anymore."
"Hah, with that incompetent Hughes gone, they're now just a bunch of mindless slave workers."
The noble lady looks smug after saying those remarks, which Marthel finds annoying.
