Chapter 111

It was only after Marquis Ephecle had finished anxiously examining Leshuan that we were able to exchange formal greetings.

"My apologies for the delay. I seem to have been quite rude."

"Not at all. I am simply grateful that you accepted our sudden request to meet."

"The people who have come with you…."

"They are the key figures in what we will discuss today."

"Grandfather, please take a seat."

Marquis Ephecle, who had been eyeing Eiren and Eaton with suspicion as they stood behind Darcy and me, reluctantly took his seat. The rest of us followed suit, facing him directly. Even Leshuan sat beside me.

Marquis Ephecle sighed, clearly unsettled, before speaking.

"So… what is it that you wish to discuss today, Your Highness?"

He directed his gaze toward Darcy, expecting him to lead the conversation.@@novelbin@@

However, it was I who spoke up.

"Marquis, are you aware that the safe in your study is empty?"

"The study? What do you mean by that…?"

Leshun glanced at the Marquis before speaking boldly.

"Grandfather, I took what was inside."

The Marquis initially tilted his head in confusion before his eyes widened in shock. However, his well-practiced poker face did not falter easily.

"It’s nothing important. Just return it when you can."

"It’s disheartening to hear you dismiss it as nothing."
