Chapter 3

Although the Eldland estate fell short in comparison to Albert Manor, it was still a splendid and majestic home, full of character. The maids must’ve looked after it constantly, as there wasn’t a speck of dust, and the interior was decorated with seasonal plants and paintings. Every nook and cranny was well maintained, which displayed not only the family’s dignity, but also how much everyone adored their new head of the house.

In contrast to this majesty, a rushed pitter-patter of footsteps resounded in the mansion. “Lady Mary! Lady Mary...!” Parfette cried as she approached. She was still a fair distance away, but she’d already spread her arms, and her off-white dress fluttered behind her. Once she had finally made her way over to Mary, she wanted to embrace her, delighted by their reunion.

Yet Adi wedged himself between the girls, diverting Parfette’s trajectory towards Alicia instead.

“Lady Mary, I missed you... No, this doesn’t feel like Lady Mary! Lady Alicia?!” Parfette squeaked, surprised to discover whom she was hugging.

Nevertheless, Alicia embraced the other girl tightly. “It’s been a while, Parfette!”

“Yes, it has...!”

Two beautiful girls hugged each other, celebrating their reunion. What a gorgeous scene it was, indeed. But Mary, who was left out of it, only shrugged her shoulders at this typical course of events. She then glanced over at Adi.

“I don’t really think it’s a problem if Parfette wants to hug me,” she informed him.

“No can do. I won’t let anyone hug you, milady,” he responded.

“No? Then I suppose I’ll be feeling lonely for quite some time.”

“I’m an exception,” Adi clarified with a blush.

Mary smiled dryly, then turned her attention to Patrick and Gainas, who were exchanging greetings with each other.

The head of House Eldland could be referred to as this nation’s representative. From Mary’s perspective, he was simply a man whose wife led him around by the nose, but it didn’t change the fact that he was the leader of a distinguished family with many connections, both domestically and abroad. He had great influence, all the more so when it came to Sylvino, a country adjacent to his own.

Once she had finished explaining all the details, Mary smiled at Gainas and clapped her hands. “So there you have it. Now, I’d like you to intrude on Sylvino’s affairs, and haul the feudal lord who governs Anna’s region over the coals.”

“This may turn into an international issue, Lady Mary, so couldn’t we sugarcoat things a lit—”

“Crush him completely!!!”

“I’ll take the appropriate measures.” Despite the way his head drooped, Gainas gave his agreement.

Patrick patted Gainas’s arm to console him. He looked at the other man with a calm and lovely smile, as though he could understand Gainas’s feelings. He nodded deeply, and...

“Drive him to the point of no return.”

...delivered a follow-up attack. His smile was beyond stunning at that moment. His overall degree of shininess was about twenty percent stronger than the disturbing quality of his words.

Gainas narrowed his eyes. Perhaps he was exasperated, or else dazzled by Patrick’s light. “Even you, Lord Patrick.
