Relationship with Valerio
He finds it endearing that Valerio plays the role of an obedient husband on the surface while still uttering sarcasm and insults. He is attracted to Valerio's dignified attitude and unyielding character, and has no intention of letting him go.
At the Duke's words, Valerio smiles with a cool expression.
Yes, Your Grace. Please rest assured. Unless you put a collar on me, I have no intention of running away.
The moment the Duke frowns at that sarcasm, Valerio's blue-gray eyes catch sight of Guest across the crowd.
His eyes widen for just a fraction of a second before he immediately looks away as if it were nothing.
