Because Geoffrey did not attend the morning court session, he returned to the office later than usual.

As he sat sipping his coffee, he heard the loud sounds of drums and gongs outside. Someone mentioned. that Doug had arrived, and Geoffrey was puzzled. Why the noise and celebration? What was Doug up to this

time?

“Go see what’s happening,” Geoffrey instructed Harlan. Ever since their last encounter, when Doug had insulted him, Geoffrey had kept a wary distance from him. He had no desire to see Doug unless it was for something important.

Harlan went outside and quickly returned with an update. Doug had arrived with a large entourage, making a grand spectacle with gongs, drums, and firecrackers. The townspeople were following the procession, eager to witness the spectacle.

Doug, riding his majestic horse, led a bridal sedan while scattering candy along the road, prompting the crowd to chase after him in excitement.

“Open the gate and let the sedan pass,” Doug bellowed with joy, his face beaming.

People from nearby houses gathered to watch. Matilda, Michelle, Priscilla, and three of her children emerged, and even Isolde appeared, frozen in place at the sight of such a display. She rushed forward and asked, “Doug, what is this all about?”

Looking down from his high perch, Doug raised an eyebrow and replied, “Naturally, I’m here to send a gift to your family’s Prudence.”

Priscilla, her face flushed with anger, stepped forward and said, “What kind of gift involves a bridal sedan?”

Doug explained, “I heard that Prudence has a fondness for companions. As I have taken her granddaughter as a disciple, we’re now family. If she has such a liking. I must fulfill it. So, I have brought a retired eunuch from the palace, as a companion for Prudence to keep her company, fulfilling her wishes.”

As he spoke, a man in a red wedding robe, his hair entirely white, stepped out from the sedan, beaming with a cheery smile.

This absurd act sent the onlookers into fits of laughter.

Priscilla, red–faced with rage, shouted, “How dare you insult my mother like this?”

Michelle quickly moved to pull Matilda aside, trying to avoid being seen by the crowd.

I came with good intentions, but if you can’t appreciate it, don’t speak ill of Duke’s estate. Are you implying
