While Dillian and Ria were flirting in front of the bedroom, the vassals heard the news that something had happened so they gathered together and opened their mouths.
The woman, with her red hair dangling, chewed a cigarette and asked.
“The duke has come? The guy whose nose hasn’t been seen for three years?”
Bianca Greta, the head of the Count of Greta, exhaled, white smoke scattered in the air.
“Yeah, he came with his fiancée. I can barely stop him from fighting with father.”
Lloyd Trisio remembered the situation and shook his head.
“It seems that our duke is finally planning to get married. So Lloyd. Which local noblewoman is she from?”
“She’s a commoner.”
“What? Commoner?”
For a brief moment, Bianca with a cigarette in her mouth was chattering and laughing.
“That Dillian, with a commoner? What a masterpiece.”
“Count Greta, keep your dignity.”
A woman with her indigo hair pulled up bruised Bianca.
Giselle Justin, who had a very contrasting impression with Bianca, frowned, saying it was vulgar.
Bianca snorted at Giselle’s bruise, and smoked at her.
“Giselle, you are so boring. Didn’t your son say so?”
“Bianca!”
It was Lloyd Trisio who mediated the atmosphere where a fight was about to break out at any moment.
“Stop fighting.”
Guess who’s not the Sinaize people.
Everyone nature was not normal
“By the way, why is Lexter Blent so late?”
Bianca tilted her head towards the empty Lexter’s seat, and Giselle grabbed her flabby forehead and answered.
“Looks like he is not going to attend because he was sick.”
“Is he?”
Bianca crossed her arms behind and placed her hands on her head.
“Then let’s check out what kind of person the new hostess is.”
Bianca’s eyes flashed with interest.
***
There are four vassals in the Duke of Sinaize.
The Marquis of Trisio of the North.
The Count of Greta of the East.
The Count of Justin of the South.
The Count of Blent of the West .
They thoroughly excelled in their field.
First of all, the Marquis of Trisio.
It has a history as old as Sinaize, and it is a place where defense tactics are superior to offense.
They showed strong defense like an iron wall, and they were called Sinaize’s shield, which prevents barbarians from invading and protects the territory.
Conversely, with sayings like ‘the best defense is attack.’ there is a place that shows the tactics with the best attack power.
That was the Count of Greta.
If Trisio is Sinaize’s shield, Greta is Sinaize’s sword.
It is a House run by a female headman from generation to generation.
Next up is the Count of Justin.
Even though it’s under a military House, Count Justin was in charge of the finances of the Sinaize teritorry.
It was no exaggeration to say that most of Sinaize’s operating funds came from this House.
It was said that they have an excellent eye for money, and an eye that was passed on from generation to generation was said to be the best.
The last one, the Count of Blent.
Like Justin, it was in charge of finance, but since Lexter became the head of the House, he was said to have expanded its feet into the military domain.
“Any more questions?”
As I wrote down the characteristics of each vassal, I shook my head.
“I think just knowing this is enough.”
I checked the characteristics of each family and heard a brief description of the House, so this was enough.
At least I can figure out who is who.
“Then will we all meet for dinner?”
“If you feel uncomfortable, you can refuse, but it would be more convenient to meet them now at once.”
If it wasn’t now, Dillian clicked his tongue, saying that he’d be bothered with strange excuses.
I completely agree with that opinion.
Despite the contract, I am in the position of the pre-duchess.
As they have high pride, It was clear that I could already hear their nonsense, blaming my commoner background for my wrong doing.
“If someone attacks me, sir Dillian has to block everything.”
“Sure.”
“Please make sure to stop the attack from Therze-nim too.”
“If they say anything useless, I will get rid of them.”
“Don’t upset them.”
To get rid of them in front of the biggest elders and vassals in the House.
If it was anyone else, he would come off as rude, but Dillian was reassuring.
He was scary when he became an enemy, but when he became an ally, he was such a reassuring person.
“I’ll come pick you up when it’s ready.”
As Dillian left, Sera quickly returned and laid out the dresses on the bed.
“Tonight, I will make Ria-nim the main character.”
Sera clenched her fists and flared up.
“Sera. With perfection, for her not to feel inferior to anyone. No one can ignore her! Got it?”
“Of course, Nathan-nim!”
“That one looks so tacky. Bring the blue dress.”
“You have such good eyesight, that’s exactly what I was looking for!”
