I've been quiet on purpose since I arrived at the banquet.
I was keeping a close eye on Vestian, killing my presence as much as possible.
To witness this very moment.
I could see Vestian's gaze stuck in Maria Patron far away.
He was clearly taken aback.
To the point that he stopped walking because he was so surprised
"…Vestian?"
Shananet, who was walking hand in hand with him, wondered why her husband stopped.
"Uh..."
His brazen and leisurely face no longer there. He turned pale.
If Vestian is really having an affair, so be it.
If your wife and mistress are all in one place.
You'll be having cold sweat behind your back.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Shananet asked anxiously.
"No... I thought I saw someone I knew."
Vestian said dazedly. Shananet tilted her head.
"I think it would be more amazing if you don't know anyone here. So who is it?"
"No, no one. You don't have to care.”
But Shananet was already looking around.
And said exactly pointing at Maria Patron.
"Is it that woman?"
"Oh, it's....”
Vestian was struck speechless.
Maria Patron who found Shananet and Vestian began to walk towards them with a smile on her face.
Brown hair and brown eyes.
She was a woman with an extremely ordinary appearance who would not be particularly noticed.
But I didn't let my guard down.
The glistening eyes that did not match the smiling face, similar to those of Vestian’s who I happened to see last time bothered me.
Click-clack.
As she approached, Vestian's face was hardening once over.
I held my breath even more.
I called this woman here on purpose where both my grandfather and Lombardy people attended.
It was to psychologically pressure Vestian more so that grandfather could know the truth right away if it happened.
However.
"Hello, sir."
Maria Patron greeted grandpa first with a gentle smile.
"You are..."
Grandpa seemed a little embarrassed when a young woman he had never seen before talked to him.
Maria Patron introduced herself politely, bending her knees.
"My name is Maria of the Patron family, commissioned to the estate of Schultz. My lord, it's an honor to meet you in person."
"Oh, I see."
Grandfather nodded but still wondered why Maria Patron came to greet him.
No one in the Empire doesn't recognize my grandfather.
