Chapter 57

It was the evening of the day after the memorial service.

Laritte was resting in front of the fireplace drinking warm milk, while the maids around her continued to comfort her about the rain during the memorial service.

“Seeing the dark clouds disappear so quickly, it was just a shower. The Iassa Empire has always been flawed because of so much misreading, hasn’t it?”
“That’s right, that’s right. That’s why you get the laundry wet all the time.”

Laritte was silent.

“Yes.”
“It’s not my fault! It’s because of the weather.”
“Yes, yes.”

After a while, the commander of the Order entered the room.

Mason laughed, stroking his white beard when the maids gave him a fierce look.

“Oh, my.”

He had nothing else to say because of what he planned with his knights.

“There’s something I wish to show the Madam. May I have your moment?”

The maids immediately whisper-shouted to Laritte.

“No, Madam! You can’t trust the knights these days!”
“She’s right. Holding his coat over you was all a trick!”

Despite all that warnings, she removed the blanket from her lap and stood up from the chair.

“Take the lead, Sir Mason.”

The maids were shocked.

“It’s okay. I will be back.”

Mason and Laritte walked down the hallway, passing under the four major portraits.

Mason broke the silence.

“Did you know Lady Selena?”
“She was Ian’s mother.”

He nodded in response.

The middle-aged Mason was in charge of training the Knights, even before Selena became the Lady of this house. He was also one of the known vigorous knights in the Order.

Mason had conducted intensive training, in the hopes of making the Order of Reinhardt the strongest. Even when the knights were injured. However, it didn’t do any good.

Until the former Duke married Lady Selena and brought her to the mansion.

Mason still remembered her smile to this day.

“Are you all tired? Thanks to you, I can always be reassured.”

Though Selena was a noble, she had a gentle personality. Her kindness made the knights believe and become stronger. It made Mason realize that his method was wrong.
