"Are you hurt anywhere, Ladies?" Connie asked them. "Yes! I'm fine." Leonia said while Luciana nodded at them.
"The Master would scold her a lot!" Connie said. "Also, it's been awhile since we last had a good rest." Mina said to them.
"By the way, is Sir Gabel alright?" Connie shyly asked her.
"Actually, My Ladies, Miss Connie and Sir Gabel are..." The maid behind them whispered to the young girls.
"I-It's not like that! I was just thankful for what he did that day...." Connie quickly said with red face.

"You didn't even tell us?!" Connie said shaking Mina in anger. "Hey, tell us! Since when?!" The maid said also shaking her. "S-Stop shaking me!" Mina said.
Luciana and Leonia was smiling at them widely. The room was chaos after the news.

"Are you feeling much better?" Ardea asked them and noticed the bandage at Luciana. "Yes! I'm alright now!" Leonia happily said. "I'm fine." Luciana said with a smile.
"Did you wear that because you can't control it yet?" Ardea asked Luciana. "Marquis told me to wear this for safety." Luciana said to him. Ardea nodded at her.
"I knew that woman would make trouble someday." Ardea said sighing loudly make they turned at him. "When I was staying in the capital, she was still a student of a local noble." Ardea said.
"She was beaten badly by Cerena and her group at a social gathering. That child cried so much after that day." Ardea said to them.
"But still! Why would she do that in the presence of Boleoti? Doesn't she know that she is throwing her life?! And I can't imagine that she has been harassed our Lady Luciana for two years!" Pelika said before turned at Luciana.
"Lady, why did you never told us? His Grace can punish her if you told her before." Pelika asked her. Luciana smiled a little.
"If I told the Duke about this, he would mad at me for being weak and I don't want that." Luciana thought but she didn't said anything to her.
"Ah. So, it's that Lady!" Leonia said after realized what was they saying.
"What were you arguing about in the first place? Right, Lady Lucy?" Leonia said showing that she didn't care about that. Luciana agree with her.
"How can My Ladies be so cold and brave? You're like the beast of the North!" Pelika said staring at them with sparkling eyes. "It isn't going well for emotional education..." Ardea said sweat dropped from beside.
"Pardon, but... H-How about Mister?" Leonia shyly said. "And Marquis? I didn't see him since yesterday." Luciana said.
Meanwhile at one of the room inside Boleoti's mansion.
Every nobles in the north was there. The room has heavy atmosphere and tensed while Phileo calmly take the tea cup in front of him.
"Sorry, that I'm late." Someone opened the door make everyone flinched except Phileo. Adrian was wearing the red suit as he was presence as Lord of East and Head of Kieran.
"You're late." Phileo said glance towards him. Adrian just smiled before sit beside him. The nobles was surprised to see the two of the Lords of the Empire and mostly that Adrian in here.
Adrian, who didn't have any connection of North and have been hiding for long time, suddenly come to the meeting. Noah pour his tea cup before the two of them sipping it.
"Lady Gray."
"If one is not familiar with tea, it's the first blend of tea that noble children drink when they take refreshments."
"It's wasn't something Duke Boleoti and Marquis Kieran would have consider, but they drinks 'Lady Gray' as if they wanted them all to see it."
Rupert stand beside Phileo while Noah stand beside Adrian. "I forgot to tell you that Adrian will be in the meeting as Kieran and Lord of the East." Phileo said.
Every nobles in there didn't dare to interrupted him. Adrian just smiled at them with cold smile.
"I'll be represent as Lord of the East because of the 'accident' happened lately." Adrian said make everyone shivers at his voice.
"How long... Has it been since I've been away from the North?" Phileo asked Rupert.
"About 3 years, 3 years and 2 months, to be exact." Rupert said as Phileo put his cup down and stand up.
"I feel like I've experienced 4 years..." Phileo said before walked around. Adrian stare at everyone from his seat.
Phileo stopped behind one of the nobleman as Adrian also glare at him. "Viscount Rupert Rikos." Phileo call his assistant.
Phileo nodded at him as Rupert bowed at him. Adrian waved at Noah before he also bowed at him and get out from there.
