"Lord Francis, Miss Zestira."
With a bow, Lanci took his usual spot next to Viscount Francis.
"Mr. Rocky, I hear that you take strolls around town each afternoon. How do you find our town?"
The Viscount posed the question with a smile.
"It's a prime spot for travel and lifelong settlement, with enormous development potential. With efforts spent on tourism, prosperity is within our reach."
Lanci responded earnestly.
He soon realized that the Viscount's question might not have meant that.
This left Viscount Francis in momentary silence as well.
All he had wanted to get was Lanci's impression of living in the town.
Instead, it sounded as though a provincial leader was giving his observations.
However, considering Lanci's profession as a scholar, it did not seem too far-fetched.
"I gathered you here today mainly to hear your thoughts."
Clearing his throat, Viscount Francis gave the orders for dinner to be served now that Lanci had arrived.
