    Boya Viscount Mansion.

    The lamb chops on the dining table were not eaten by anyone, and they were gradually getting colder. Several young nobles smiled and chatted about what they had, and glanced towards the door from time to time.

    Only Viscount Boya calmly cut the lamb chops and put them into his mouth piece by piece.

    The butler who answered the door went back and forth: "My lord, the officiant is just outside the door, and he has arrived in person. Do you think... is someone coming in?" The little nobles looked at each other and wanted to say goodbye, but they didn't dare to say goodbye. , had to fidget and move half of the buttocks on the chair.

    It wasn't until the third piece of lamb was chewed and swallowed that Viscount Boya put down the knife, wiped his mouth slowly, and said, "Since the officiant is here, you can't be too rude, then open the door."

    The butler nodded, and was about to bow out when he was stopped by the other party.

    "Open the side door."
