Chapter 12
There was no one here who would visit them.
Since the National Foundation Day was in early spring, is it the person who delivers the invitation in advance?
But they would have at least waited until the melting of the snow.
Laritte did not hear anything.
In the first place, the sound of footsteps outside could not have been heard by ordinary human beings.
The moment he put his hand away from her mouth and tried to say something…..
“Is there anyone inside?”
A deep voice was heard at the door.
Laritte felt goosebumps.
“Are you sure there are people inside?”
Someone kept knocking at the door.
Laritte and Ian exchanged their glances.
Laritte whispered quietly.
“I’ll take care of it. You stay here.”
No one should have known that Ian was here.
If a rumor spreads to the Royal family that there was a man in the Duke’s Villa….it would be terrible.
Ian could also not afford the Imperial Household’s strength at the moment.
Bartolt, who betrayed Ian, was one of his swordmaster candidates.
Such a talented man, who could not even miss, works under the orders of the Royal Family.
It was highly likely that he was now a member of the royal family after the fall of Ian.
Furthermore, if he hears the rumor of Ian being alive, he would definitely come to investigate it.
Laritte could also suspect it.
While Laritte approached the front door carefully, Ian disappeared from the view.
The light of the villa was surely going out through the cracks. So, it would be even more suspicious if they pretended to be quiet.
“Who is this?”
“Oh, someone is really here, isn’t it? Can you please open the door for a second? I’m from the government office.”
It did not seem to be a lie.
She seemed genuinely surprised by the voice of the person.
Laritte carefully unlocked the door.
A man in a long winter coat was holding a report in his hand.
“Oh….”
It seemed as if his eyes were scanning over Laritte’s body.
It was a familiar sight.
