63. Prologue (…Lord Dylan Seems to be Worried for Some Reason)
On the afternoon after Avril’s family—the Count of Allingham—fell to ruin, Avril’s fellow servants relocated to the Duke of Lancester, and the townhouse in the royal capital became even more lively.
Dylan sat across from them, while Chris stood behind him. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Avril was watching from a crack in the door leading to the salon.
As for the reason she was standing outside, it was because Dylan told her to wait there until he called for her to enter.
I’m curious as to what everyone’s talking about. I know it’s brazen to peek like this, but I can’t help myself…
Originally, Avril was supposed to be present at the tea party. Nevertheless, Dylan’s expression turned grim as soon as he heard Lawrence’s business, and Avril was thus shut out.
To Avril, who dejectedly stared into the gap, Grace spoke from behind.
“Lady Avril, why don’t you rest for a bit? In that room over there, I’ve prepared sandwiches made from dry, hard bread.”
“…Oh, my. That’s my favorite.”
“Even though you aren’t locked in a staircase, I still feel sorry seeing Lady Avril peeking through that opening. I’ve also added some shriveled tomatoes. Enjoy your favorite food and cheer yourself up.”
“…Grace is amazing!”
If she’s that worried about me, I have no choice but to do as she asks.
Avril became excited at the notion of a sandwich made with dry hard bread.
Behind her, she could feel that the gap that she’d been peering into just now had grown.
“—Lady Avril, I have something to tell you.”
It was so narrow that I could barely see anything, so why is the gap getting bigger now?
Lawrence smiled at Avril, who was slightly dejected. Despite showing a gentle and friendly smile, he exuded an intimidating aura that made the other party acquiesce.
Beyond that, Dylan seemed displeased—and also overwhelmingly worried. Alexandra smiled bewitchingly. Chris clearly couldn’t contain his curiosity.
Surely, they’ve finished talking about the things they don’t want me to hear. Dylan probably disliked where it was going. What were they talking about?
—The answer would soon be known.
