A few days after the party, Mary was inside one of the rooms at Albert Manor...although she wished she could’ve been in its tranquil gardens instead.

The windows would’ve normally brought in a pleasant breeze, but right now they were closed tightly, with the curtains drawn to prevent sunlight from pouring in. Had the windows been open, a beautiful view of the clear sky and courtyard would’ve been visible. However, those present in the room were looking at each other as though they had no leisure to enjoy such sights.

The heavy atmosphere could’ve hardly been called an elegant tea party. Mary was sitting in a chair. She picked up her teacup and sipped, then cast a quick glance at the man who was opposite her.

“Pardon me for the sudden visit, Lady Mary,” Gainas apologized while lowering his head.

Sitting next to him was a sniffling Parfette, who mumbled weakly, “Lady Maaary...”

“It’s fine...” Mary responded. “Though, I was quite surprised when you directly handed me the letter about your upcoming visit.”

“I’m really sorry. I was going to mail it and wait for your reply, but Parfette insisted that she wanted to bring it herself, and threatened to deduct points from me...” Gainas explained.

“So that’s why you two brought it with you,” Mary remarked.

“Yes...”

“Perhaps I could pen my reply right now? I’ll write all about how you can visit whenever you like.”

In response to Mary’s joke, Gainas’s shoulders sank remorsefully. But anyone who showed up with a letter requesting a visit would’ve likely felt the same. After all, the usual course of action was to send the letter first, await a response, and then pay a visit (not counting a certain princess and a crybaby noblewoman).

No matter how urgent one’s business, arriving with the letter in hand was bad etiquette. Even leaving that aside, visiting with such a letter rendered its contents completely pointless. The letter Gainas and Parfette had brought lay upon the table, compelling an enigmatic sense of pathos from anyone who looked at it.

“I take it you must have truly urgent business. I have some time, so I’ll hear you out,” Mary said.

“Thank you so much.”

“However, if this turns out to be some daft lovers’ quarrel, then I shall have your mushy daily life adapted into a play with your real names in it.”

“A play?! That’d be so humiliating! I don’t think I could step outside ever again...” Gainas despaired, shuddering over Mary’s threat.

Right then, a knock on the door interrupted them. Mary gave permission to enter, and soon enough Adi and Patrick came into the room.

In truth, when Gainas and Parfette had first arrived, they’d mentioned also wanting to speak with Patrick. Mary had no idea what was going on, but assuming it was an emergency, she’d had Adi fetch Patrick.

“I’m sorry to have called upon you so suddenly, Lord Patrick!” Gainas addressed him.

“No, it’s fine. It sounds urgent, so what’s going on?” Patrick inquired. “I hope this isn’t just some lovers’ quarrel...” he added skeptically, at which Gainas quickly shook his head.
