“….”

“And. No one bothersh me when I have Gwandfather.” [And. No one bothers me when I have Grandfather.]

“….”

“Thwank you.” [Thank you.]

Originally, bribery was the best way to please a high-ranking person.

Learning the dirty ways of social life, I still remembered the words.

Grandfather unfolded my drawing.

It was a crooked mess, but it was still a picture that showed I worked hard on it.

Staring at the picture intently, Grandfather fiercely shouted.

“You should’ve given this first!”

I was surprised and hid behind the maid without realizing it myself.

Viscount Debussy laughed again like crazy, making Grandfather glare at him.

‘Why, why is he like that?’

After seeing me, who was very scared, Grandfather strode away.

With my drawing still in his hands.

Conrad was holding my hand with a smiling face.

We were on the way to my room.

‘Because Grandfather went away, we had time to talk.’

I checked that the maids were far away, and then I looked at Conrad.

“Conrad.”

“Yes, Young Miss.”

“A wot of people cwame today.” [A lot of people came today.]

“Yes, you must’ve been greeted by the indirect descendants, right?”

“Are a wot of people coming tomorrow, tchoo?” [Are a lot of people coming tomorrow, too?]

“No. Starting tomorrow, the castle will be quiet again.”

“Then, what are we going tcho do tomorrow?” [Then, what are we going to do tomorrow?]

I subtly asked Conrad about the schedule of the castle.

“The Young Miss can just have fun. Since you have a couple of months to spare.”

“Why?”

“It’s complicated in many ways, so the class has been delayed for a long time.”

“….”

“The cleanup of the Tollisso March, and the dissolution of the soldiers of the direct descendants… Well, surely it’s too difficult for the Young Miss.”

Conrad, who liked me very much, made it easy to talk about many things.

Although he also thought that I didn’t understand it well.

‘Did Grandfather order the direct descendants to dissolve the soldiers?’

But there was no such thing in the novel.

Thinking quietly, I thought inside, ‘Aha.’ and realized.

With this incident, I knew Conrad was going to become bait.

However, Conrad did not betray, and the guard information was handed over.

There were more people who knew about the guard’s information.
