Tohrmeyler had collapsed while arguing with Adeline about Olivia’s marriage partners. Apparently Adeline blamed herself quite a lot for it.

His condition didn’t look good, so the Rainsworths had ended up starting to transfer the power to a new head of the family. However, Henry, the eldest son and heir of the family, was still only thirteen. His mother Adeline would have to become his advisor and act as the substitute head of the family until he became of age.

Between visiting Tohrmeyler, handling the formalities for the transfer of headship, taking care of the family’s routine tasks, and dealing with people’s inquiries, Adeline had a whole lot of work to do, which had pushed her to the brink both mentally and physically. As a result, she had apparently collapsed on her way back from Albion’s government office area to a coach station. And it appeared that it had been the man in question who’d gallantly come to her rescue at the time.

“His name’s Robert Taylor. He claims to be a student at the Department of Visual Arts of the Albion School of Applied Fine Arts. Apparently he’s unsophisticated and even-keeled, and found his way into Lady Adeline’s heart in an instant. I’ve also checked with the school just in case—he really is a student there.”

Robert was an aspiring artist. It seemed that Adeline had taken an interest in his paintings and decided to support him as his patroness. And then, when she’d had clothes made for him and fixed his appearance in order to introduce him to an art dealer she knew...

“Cleans up well, apparently. Are you familiar with Chester Astley? He’s an opera singer who’s very popular with married women of the upper class. Apparently, Robert turned out to have a face just like his.”

Estelle had heard the name. She knitted her brows.

“Estelle, does this story remind you of anything?” asked the prince, a listless expression on his face.

Springing to Estelle’s mind was that time Diana Pautrier had taken on Leah’s form to infiltrate the Libra Palace.

“I was thinking about the fake Leah. Did you have the same thing on your mind?” she replied, bringing the conversation back to the main topic.

Arcrayne nodded. “It hasn’t even been long since then.”

Not even a month had passed since that whole matter had concluded.

“Lady Adeline was a fan of Chester Astley from the start. Apparently she always rushed to see his performances. And then a man with a face just like his makes an appearance. She immediately begins to adore him, summons him to her mansion practically every day, and starts supporting him financially—buying him art supplies, having clothes made for him. If it had ended there, I would’ve surely overlooked the matter...but after having put together the rumors circulating among the servants, it seems that, over this short period of time, Robert has not only charmed Lady Adeline, but also won over the hearts of those around her, one after another. Her lady’s maid, the housekeeper... Though of course, it’s not like they’re all fond of him.
