96.

The thought that came to mind immediately upon hearing this was one thing.

‘Did Lian send a letter to Edelweiss in advance?’

Telling him that he was working at a small relationship counseling center located in the Imperial Capital.

Siena, who had been narrowing her eyes, soon shook her head slightly.

‘Hmm…, that doesn’t seem likely.’

Indeed, Lian wasn’t the type to write letters.

‘If that guy enjoyed writing letters, wouldn’t he have already given me one too?’

However, when he sent the dress as a gift before the Imperial Palace Ball, he didn’t do that.

Usually when sending gifts, people write at least one sentence.

‘No matter how much I searched through the gift box, there wasn’t even a card, let alone anything with writing on it.’

That’s why she speculated that he wouldn’t have told Edelweiss about the center.

‘Even if he did give him a hint, there’s no way he would have told him the address.’

Lian de Vicelle was that kind of person.

“What the…”

She muttered grumblingly and raised her gaze that had been lowered.

However, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Chase was holding his forehead with an ‘oh dear, oh dear’ expression, and Isadora’s slender eyes narrowed even more.

‘…What is this atmosphere?’

Siena looked around the center with a bewildered expression and then made eye contact with Edel again.

“Uh… Mr. Lian isn’t coming in today.”

Edel’s face instantly hardened.

“What? Why not?”

“Because he’s not feeling well.”

“What…? You’re saying my brother is sick?!”

All traces of laughter disappeared, and instead an expression that looked like he might burst into tears at any moment appeared.

As if the world had collapsed.

Edel grabbed Pitt’s arm and shook it urgently.

“Pitt, Pitt! They say my brother is sick! What should we do? Is he very sick?”

“Please calm down, Young Master. First, let’s listen to the young lady’s words until the end…”

“How can I calm down when my brother is sick!”

Siena was momentarily at a loss for words due to the sudden commotion.

Click, click.

Soon the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.

“Lian is staying at my house.”

The owner of the voice was naturally Chase.

He smiled gracefully with his arms crossed.

“I’ll safely take the younger brother who came from far away to his older brother and come back.”

After finishing his words, Chase wrapped his arm around Edel’s shoulder.

Edel flinched his shoulders as if surprised by the sudden physical contact.

But soon he raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes.

“Yes!”

He seemed purely excited at the thought of being able to meet Lian.

‘Really simple…’

Chase left the center first, taking Edel with him.

And Pitt also let out a sigh of relief and followed behind the two.

“…”

Siena watched their retreating figures in bewilderment.

‘No… they’re leaving just like that?’

One of the two troublemakers who disrupted the center was leaving.

Naturally, that was welcome.

However, Chase’s attitude was strange.

‘For some reason, he seemed urgent.’

Normally, he would have flirted for at least another hour in front of customers, especially pretty female customers.

It wasn’t like the Empire’s greatest Casanova, who was always leisurely enough to be frustrating no matter what happened.

She was tilting her head and staring at the door they had left through.

Siena felt a presence beside her.

“Center Director.”

When she turned around, Violet was there.

With her usual kind and gentle smile.

Siena suddenly became tense.

‘Wow, damn. She’s incredibly pretty.’

It was flustering when an already amazingly beautiful woman suddenly came close to her face.

‘Guard… I need to raise my guard.’

Siena cleared her throat and faced the doll-like face.

“Yes, my lady.”

“What happened? I was organizing the lockers for a moment and came back to find the center seemed to be in commotion…”

Violet asked while blinking repeatedly.

Siena shrugged as if it was nothing.

“Oh, it’s nothing much.”

“…”

“Mr. Lian’s younger brother just came and left.”

Even as she said it, she found it a bit strange.

‘Is this really nothing much?’

He had taken a ship from Lehatten Kingdom to come all the way here.

‘But I’ve seen too many de Vicelles so far that it doesn’t seem like much.’

Coincidentally, Siena was someone who had received intensive de Vicelle education until now.

‘Of course, it was forced intensive education.’

Violet slowly tilted her head.

“The youngest master’s younger brother?”

“Yes, he came to see Mr. Lian.”

“…”

“Baron Aizet took him out. Now… if they go to the Baron’s mansion, they’ll have their reunion.”

What Siena conveyed was surface-level information.

Lian’s younger brother had suddenly come to visit, and Chase had taken him away.

And their destination would likely be Aizet Baron’s mansion.

However, Violet didn’t respond.

“…”

She was suddenly looking down at the floor with an expression of deep thought about something.

‘What’s this?’

Siena observed the situation for a moment.

Usually, Violet was the type to always react no matter how trivial the topic.

But since no reaction came from her, it felt strange.

‘Did I say something wrong? No, I didn’t.’

That couldn’t be it.

She had just summarized and conveyed the chaos that had unfolded before her eyes.

Then, a cheerful voice suddenly interjected from behind.

“He’s my cousin!”

Roderick, who had approached nearby at some point, proudly shrugged his shoulders.

Violet looked at him and opened her eyes wide as if slightly surprised.

‘Oh, right.’

Come to think of it, I hadn’t introduced the two of them.

Realizing this, Siena took a step back and spoke up.

“Roderick… No, Rik.”

“Huh!”

“This is Lady Violet Bringer. She’s a new employee at our Center.”

Siena’s hand, which had been directed toward Violet, moved toward Roderick.

She made eye contact with Violet.

“And this is Mr. Roderick de Vicelle. He’s working as a substitute… for Lian.”

She looked away as she pronounced the word ‘substitute.’

‘He’s definitely a substitute though.’

What is this feeling of guilt I have while saying this?

It was Chase who brought Roderick as a substitute in the first place.

“He’s helping with Center work only while Lian is away.”

“…”

“Uh, well… Yes, that’s what he says.”

Just as she awkwardly finished the introduction.

Ding-a-ling.

The bell rang at the Center door.

As a new customer entered, Siena reflexively turned around.

“Well then, you two chat for a bit. I need to attend to the customer.”

She quickly sorted out the situation and walked over to the customer.

“Welcome. Do you have a reservation?”

Siena left her spot.

An awkward silence flowed between Roderick and Violet.

Of course, Roderick didn’t feel it that way.

But Violet did.

She was bothered by the man standing before her.

“…”

After all, Roderick was staring intently at Violet with an unreadable expression.

She was quite flustered.

This was the first time a man had stared at her so intensely.

Most men would get nervous in front of her beauty and wouldn’t dare meet her gaze.

They would either glance at her shyly or watch her from afar as if admiring her.

But this man was…

‘Completely different.’

Roderick was examining her face without a trace of embarrassment.

Unable to settle down, Violet finally spoke first.

“As the Center Director introduced, I’m Violet Bringer.”

“…”

“I don’t know how long you’ll be working here… but please take care of me in the meantime.”

As always, she introduced herself politely and drew a gentle smile.

Roderick nodded once.

“Bring…”

He unconsciously started to repeat her name but suddenly stopped.

Then he stroked his chin as if lost in thought.

His green eyes that had been rolling around soon stopped as if something had occurred to him.

“Aha.”

With a short exclamation, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

It certainly wasn’t a pleasant nuance.

It was something that didn’t suit the cheerful Roderick.

Staring intently at Violet, he suddenly said.

“Hello.”

For some reason, he didn’t extend his hand.
