“She was such a pretty girl that it made me feel uncomfortable. She seems to be quite fond of the Count.”
Alon said, remembering Louise from last night. It was impressive to see the lord as if he were looking at a sparkling jewel.
“It might be. She asked me for the first night..” “Okay… yes?”
The butler’s hand, which was brushing Cesare’s hair with oil, stopped. The butler, who rarely gets excited, stuttered and asked urgently.
“Fi-first night?”
“Yeah, where did she get the Euclid Code from and I couldn’t even call it bullshit.”
“Did you accept it?”
“Am I crazy? I said I was going to ask about it, and I was going to end it, but you came in.”
“She was very pretty. I don’t think it’d be a bad idea to get drunk once in a while if it’s what women want.”
He looked at Cesare as the butler looked at his head. Fortunately, there was no mirror, so Cesare could not see the butler’s blasphemous gaze. Cesare shook his head.
“No, no.”
You say you don’t like it or you can’t’? The butler noticed that Cesare was hiding something.
“That child… She is so pretty that she could do anything. She could be a spy from somewhere. Wouldn’t it be possible to pierce a dagger in my heart in the bedroom?”
The butler’s eyes, which had become serious for a moment, were released in an instant. “What’s the point of releasing a spy in a country estate like this?”

“Alon, I am not married and my whole family is dead. There is no way to pass this family down. Enough for someone to take my place.”
What Cesare said was true. Cesare, who lost his parents a long time ago and never married, has been raising the estate with blood and sweat. If someone were to assassinate Cesare and rise to the top, there was no person or power to stop him. Thanks to that, Cesare has been careful about what he eats and what he wears since becoming lord. The appearance of Louise, who looked prettier and smarter than necessary to be in the countryside, had no choice but to be suspicious.
“You are right. I guess I’ve been too sarcastic. sorry.”
“It’s not been a big deal so far, so you might think so. I understand.”
“Then shall I investigate more? About that woman.”
Cesare pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“Yeah, it’s a temporary job, but it won’t hurt to find out more. I don’t think She came here for nothing. Find out everything about the family and the latest trends.”
“Yes, I will.”
