Bab 370: [Bonus chapter]Another Shocking Revelation

Oriana remained steadfastly by her grandfather's side, her patience wearing thin as she awaited a response from the Duchess regarding her meeting with Arlan.

Suddenly, a middle-aged servant entered the room, holding a tray of herbs in his hands. "These herbs have been sent by the physician who examined Mr. Verner."

Oriana acknowledged him, and he placed the tray aside, his gaze lingering on her.

"Is there something you wish to say?" she inquired, sensing his hesitation.

He nodded and took a few steps closer, speaking in hushed tones after ensuring no one loitered near the door. "I knew your grandfather from before."

Oriana was taken aback that someone from the Duke's estate was acquainted with her grandfather. The man continued, "Your grandpa once aided me in the past when he worked as a mercenary. He saved my life back then and shared how dear his granddaughter was to him. All he wanted was for his only granddaughter to lead a life free and happy."
