“Get lost, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”

One of the guards, gripping a club, stepped forward aggressively to drive them away. But in the next instant, Diana’s bodyguards unsheathed their swords with a sharp sound, the blades gleaming coldly.

The guard, who had been full of bluster moments ago, froze in shock. He instinctively stepped back and gulped. “Do you even know where you are? How dare you draw weapons outside the Duke’s estate?”

He hasn’t had the honor of meeting you before. Please forgive him. I’ll go inside and announce your arrival right away!”

He hurriedly pulled his fellow guard back, forcing him to pay her respect.

“At least you’ve got some sense,” Diana said coldly. “But I don’t have the patience for formalities today. Skip the announcement. Drag that bastard Matthew out here right now!”

“Y–Yes, right away!” The two guards hurried inside to notify the gatekeeper, who recognized Diana.

“Oh no, don’t tell me she’s back to settle scores for Lady Eliza!”

Everyone in the Duke’s estate, even all of Hasen City, knew how inseparable Eliza and Diana used to be. If Eliza wasn’t visiting the Baker family, then Diana was at the Stonor estate. The two had been glued together since childhood, their bond as close as sisters.
