Just how long is he going to make me wait? Thought Viscount Leonardo Orglen, sitting on the sofa in the parlor. Has it been around an hour now? Although not a young lady, he seems to take around the same time to get ready. Maybe I’ve interrupted him from having fun, and he’s struggling to get the smell of a young woman’s white makeup powder off.

He knew his sudden visit at was rude by noble standards, so he expected to wait. Doing that for over an hour, he was starting to become restless. Viscount Romaine’s parlor had various paintings hanging on its walls and a few statues scattered. Viscount Orglen was well-versed in the arts so he had killed time admiring them, although that had a limit.

However, it appears Viscount Romaine does not understand anything about art. Nothing in this room matches. To put it simply, it lacks character.

Famous artists and sculptors had created all the historical Rhoadserian works displayed in the parlor. While they were all incredibly expensive pieces, they weren’t the sort of things bought just to showcase wealth. For example, a flower painting hanging above the fireplace was a three-hundred-year old piece by a very famous artist. Over the years, many of this artist’s work had gone missing, so collectors traded his works for very high prices. The room had such historical pieces, yet it didn’t feel like someone with a love for art owned this room.

To Leonard, it seemed that Viscount Romaine had simply bought as many high-value, rare pieces and had them put up wherever. As such, they could not get along. Regardless, he couldn’t just simply cancel the meeting because of that.

Now those rumors are starting to make sense...

Viscount Romaine was a quintessential Rhoadserian noble. He was arrogant, lazy and proud. Additionally, he strongly believed he was above all others and even considered commoners as lowly livestock. He wasn’t afraid to be heavy handed with those he deemed had gotten in his way. The people of his territory both hated and feared him.

Consequently, he didn’t have the best reputation within the royal capital.

No one said anything as Viscount Romaine boasted some influence within the noble faction. But many nobles would frown at the mention of his name, specifically Viscount McMaster and Helena Steiner.

Suddenly, there was a light knock at the door. Before Leonard could welcome them in, the door to the room opened, revealing Viscount Romaine. He wore a white silk shirt underneath a navy blue jacket. Gaudy rings adorned with blue and red jewels covered his hands. He was so well-dressed, it wouldn’t have been strange if he was attending an evening party after the meeting. It also worked perfectly as an outfit to welcome a guest of honor. Although the clothes were extravagant, they lost some of their brilliance due to the character of the person wearing them.

“Apologies for making you wait so long. I was fast asleep when you came, so I needed to prepare. Please forgive me,” said Viscount Romaine, also sitting on the sofa with no inch of shame in his conduct.
