I began to step inside.
My footsteps echoed on the patterned floor as the Head Servant closed the door behind me, the sound of his footsteps gradually fading into silence.
I continued walking past the long dark blue sofa in front. Duke's hand was already stretched out toward it.
Once I reached my position, I sat down slowly without any fuss. My injured hand was placed on my thigh. The pain from the bandaged hand was still quite noticeable.
I clenched my teeth, biting down afterward.
Duke in front of me only watched me from across. His gaze gradually lowered to the hand resting on my thigh. His eyes narrowed before he looked back at me.
"…What's wrong with your hand, Kid Touji?"
I was startled, one of my hands instinctively caressing the back of my neck.
"Ah… Nothing. Just got hurt during practice, Duke. Haha…"
