章 53: Chapter 53 - Alice

-Dwight State-

A lavishly decorated carriage halted before the city's most renowned restaurant. People bustled in and out, each eager to dine at the famous establishment.

A chubby figure came out from the lavish carriage, supported by his servants.

Seeing this figure, the crowd cleared a path for the man, well known for his antics and notable background. This chubby man was Baros, the son of a wealthy merchant whose fortune rivaled that of many marquises.

As Baros entered the restaurant, he was greeted by a waiter with a polite bow and a welcoming gesture.

He swept his gaze across the floor; the people in the restaurant did not dare meet his gaze.

He headed straight for the upper floor. Upon reaching his usual spot, he noticed a familiar figure seated by the window. His eyes gleamed with recognition, and he hurried over, his big belly bouncing with each step.
