Chapter 417: Bad Blood (1)

Ever since that time we almost got caught--- errhmm or should I say that we got caught? My mother did caught Lukas in my room so... 

Anyway, Lukas hadn't 'dropped by' after that unfortunate incident, but instead, he comes visiting the manor formally these days. He comes and goes regularly now that I sometimes ask him if he has nothing to do. How can he have so much time? He's a duke in name, and a grand duke in title, doesn't he have any work to do?

And you know what he said to me? 

"I left them in capable hands."

Who might that be? Poor him.

(Meanwhile, in the von Brandt's mansion, Ylmer sneezes while buried in paperwork, muttering that winter is approaching soon.)
