"I am amazed, I have thought that since commoners did not have much source to get education. I have never thought we could gain much knowledge about the skills of nobles.

nBut who would have thought that you would have the skills to even defeat a noble when it comes to the recognition of art.

nI am even amazed how you asked for 2000 gold coins and earned more money than I could earn for more than a year!

" his eyes were glowing and had a wide smile on her face.

n

".......

"

nJust the words left his mouth, the smile on the face of Olivia froze. Her face had turned uglier.

n

"Oh yes, for a second I have forgotten that!

" Evan covered her mouth with her palm in an exaggerated manner while both men knew that her eyes were gleaming with the shine of gold all this time, there was no way she had forgotten it.

nShe turned towards frozen Olivia and coughed,

"well, my lady. Since I am a rational person, I give you time till we finish the meal to give me my winning prize.

" she replied with a beaming face as she walked straight towards her seat.

nOlivia glared at her maid who ran away as if ghosts were chasing her.

n

"The money would be here, before we can even finish the meal. You do not need to worry about it. I am the woman of my words!

" she replied with a proud face even after losing.

nAs long as she paid the sum, Evan would not have anything to complain about and 2000 gold coins was not such a large sum that she had to think so much about paying it.

nBut Evan just laughed and shook her head,

"yeah! At least you did not run away like last time. But I do enjoy having bets with you as you always lose them.

" Although Evan was talking in a joking manner, Olivia gnashed her teeth.

nHer nails dug deeper into her skin that her whole face turned white while only laughing awkwardly to maintain her image. Her eyes turned to look at Leo, if only he would ask them to resume the meal, the topic would die here.

nBut when she looked at him, he was still looking at Evan like he was enchanted by her. At the moment, she felt like she was no more than a clown who was there to entertain them.

n

"Now, shall we have our lunch. I have another spar after lunch.

" asked Raymond as he looked at the awkward situation.,

nHe could feel the pressure from his master and the anger of another noble, and he was afraid that the matter would go worse, if they remained standing there,

nEvan nodded and walked towards the seat followed by other two nobles who had dark faces.

nThough all of them were sitting together, both men had their eyes only on Evan as if they could not notice Olivia at all.

nHer presence did not matter at all. She gritted her teeth but could not do anything.

n

"So what are we going to order?

" asked Evan when no one spoke and Raymond smiled.

nJust a few minutes ago, the girl had handled Olivia with a head on. She was looking so confident and strong that even he felt that she was a higher noble but not a commoner. Someone who only deserved to stand with a strong man like Leo.

nBut after that, the way she asked for money and now the way she looked at the name of the dishes with gleaming eyes, it was completely different. She looked like a small kid, adorable and cute.

n

"Oh, let me suggest you a few dishes. The chicken soup here is very famous!

nAnd that beef Wellington, sausage rolls and for sweets, how about we would have ....

" as if Evan was the only one present in the room, he continued to offer her dishes with a cheerful attitude.

n'Ha! Who cares whom the commoner gives his attention to!?' She looked away indignantly from Raymond but when her gaze turned to Leo, her face turned darker as Leo was only looking at them with a dark face.

nEven he forgot about her existence even when she was standing in front of him.

n

"My lord, even though I did not know about the food of this inn, can you help me in choosing a few dishes?

" she fluttered her eyelashes and used the sweetest smile to gain his attention. If Raymond had food here, it only meant that Leo had brought them here or how he would have, a mere commoner got the chance to be at this luxurious place.

nShe was sure he would not refuse to order for her since he was the one who had invited her for the meal.

nHowever he did not even look at her. He was lost in his own thoughts. Even if she had read about the painting or someone would have guided her, it was still remarkable that she was able to recognise the painting at one glance when he himself forgot about this basic thing and was not sure about it.

nHow could a mere commoner have so much confidence to even challenge the nobles and stand in front of them!?

n

"Yes that too. I wonder what the pancakes would taste like!?

" Evan giggled as she looked at the meal that waiters were bringing in.

nThe only thing she was thankful for after being dragged into the life of nobles was the food. They have a lot of food available on their tables all the time.

nOnce the food was served, she picked up her knife and fork and started eating it without waiting for anyone to join in.

nShe was like a pandora box. Her every action was mysterious yet the smile on her face was always so innocent.

n

"My lord, would you like to try the braised meat or steak?

" asked Olivia again to gain the attention of the man.
