The next day, at Li Aili's tea party—oh, it should now be renamed the 'Literary Exchange Meeting'—more than a dozen different pairings emerged.
"The Duke should stand with Lance!!"
"No, no, no! Darling! You don't understand couples! The Duke and Locke are the perfect match!"
"Bullshit! You don't understand the beauty of couples!"
"Hehehe, who exactly doesn't know how to appreciate things?!"
The two ladies, who were already arguing so fiercely they almost came to blows, watched with great interest by Li Aili.
Then, the two of them suddenly fell silent and looked at Li Aili.
"Madam!" the two exclaimed in unison.
"Who do you think is the best match for the Duke?!"

The ladies exchanged glances.
This was the first time Li Aili had seen the "bubbles" above their heads so uniform.
[It really is an evil cult!]
Li Aili: "..."
Conrad took a deep breath to keep himself from breaking down. "Madam, His Highness has sent a letter."
Li Aili couldn't see the bubble above Conrad's head, but she still couldn't help but smile a little guiltyly.
She picked up the letter opener and opened the letter.
"Well... sisters, it's good news. They won the battle and are expected to be back in early December."
