Kapitel 90: Count

The next morning, a subordinate of the count came to meet me.

This subordinate had come with a letter from the count inviting me to see him.

Though it was called an invitation, it was actually more like a summon.

He had already put a time and place on the "invitation" and it seemed like everything had been set. The only thing left was for me to show up as commanded by the invitation.

But I didn't mind this since I knew that this was just how this went.

This was what I had learned from Nicole last night.

So I accepted the invitation from the subordinate and went to prepare.

I couldn't help feeling surprised by how accurate Nicole's prediction was. She had taught me about the different cutlery to use at a meal and the manners that should be shown at a meal last night. This was what had taken up most of the study session last night.

Now, the count was inviting me to lunch.
