"I've heard that the Baron has beautifully revived Clairfield Castle. Forgive me if this sounds impertinent, but my brother said I should... learn a thing or two from you. Hahaha!" When Sir Romus laughed heartily in his loud voice, all eyes turned toward us, which was somewhat embarrassing. Everything is fine except this man's voice is too loud. Is he hard of hearing? "If I'm not being a bother, would you show me around the castle?" Sir Romus extended his arm to me abruptly. It was a thick,…-

"Griffin?" Zelda cried out in alarm. "My child! What on earth......" "He seems more terrified than surprised to see me." Florian said in a sharp voice. "Perhaps various thoughts are running through his mind. Seeing you both reminds me of something too." Florian folded his long legs and sat down on the sofa, not inviting his stepmother and brother to sit. He coldly addressed the two trembling figures standing in the open doorway. "My attendant Kalon." The forced smile disappeared…

"The castle's situation is gradually improving." Marina spoke kindly in a mature voice. "So I believe a good opportunity will surely come for you too, Miss, I mean, Baron. I've thought that from the beginning." "Hmm?" "I mean you should meet a good match who suits you well. You deserve it. You thought everything was over, but you've managed to revive Clairfield so splendidly." "Marina." My voice trembled with emotion. It seemed my faithful maid knew everything after all. Not…

"B-but......" The farmers stammered in confusion at the boy's cold words. "Gentlemen." The former Count's wife, sitting on the white horse behind, spoke softly. "You seem to be quite confused, but this land is lent to you by the Count, not your own property. You wouldn't want to lose the land entirely, would you?" "M-my Lady!" The two farmers looked distressed and bowed even deeper. "Now, Count, what should we do with tenant farmers who don't know how to properly utilize the…

"That Baron who signed this. To hand over his entire territory and castle over a mere card game, he must have been quite foolish. When you came to claim your rightful ownership and demanded he surrender the castle and territory, he must have regretted it." "So he tried to...... kill me, you mean?" "Dr. Crooks mentioned that you had another wound on the back of your head that was almost healed. That means this clearly wasn't the first time you were attacked. For someone to plot to kill you multiple…

"The tea doesn't seem to suit your taste?" I smiled as I looked at Feldwell, then elegantly lifted my teacup, took a sip, and said, "Surely you're not abstaining because you don't trust us." "N-n-no, of course not." Seeing his goat-like beard flutter, I found it hilariously amusing. "We haven't put anything suspicious in it, so feel free to enjoy. It's quite a premium product with an amazing aroma. Ah, but of course you would know better. You've lived such a refined lifestyle, haven't…

Feldwell frowned and stared at Margie Baxter with his mouth agape. The potato-faced woman who had been troubled by her gambling husband who had left home was unrecognizably changed. The woman who had struggled to raise three children alone after her husband left, working hard to gather interest for Feldwell, was no longer the pale, dying housewife. The dark shadows under her eyes were gone, her complexion was clear, and above all, she looked dignified. Wearing a neat and modest gray dress with…

"That's why you still have a long way to go." The Viscount spoke affectionately to his daughter. "If you had a conversation with him, you should have noticed. He's not an easy man to handle. That's partly why I've marked him as a potential son-in-law." The Viscount nodded and continued. "He's not the type to be concerned with money. Of course, he would be prepared to devote his body and soul to his territory, but he's definitely not the kind of person who would enter a loveless marriage just…

Feldwell looked around. The room he had been led to was a small reception room. 'I heard that little girl was waiting in the study, so why have they seated me here?' He was about to stand up in irritation but quietly sat back down. Come to think of it, this might not be a bad thing. Perhaps she was trying to show proper etiquette as a host. Maybe she had finally come to her senses and wanted to receive a proper guest with due respect. The last time Feldwell had visited Clairfield Castle…

'Purple...... all...... that purple......’ "Gasp!" Florian opened his eyes. The room was sunk in deep darkness. Only around the lamp on the bedside table was dimly tinged with golden light. The bed was soft, and the room was warm, but his body wasn't very comfortable. The throbbing pain in his head came and went like the tide, occasionally surging and then disappearing. 'Your wound is quite severe. Whoever did this to you, Count, clearly had malicious intent. If you had been a little…
