บท 245: A Knowing Smile

"'Lucius', who was still curious about this body's relationship with the Queen, returned to the mansion and informed everyone that he would be absent for a few days. He could not guarantee when he would return, but he was certain he would not be attending any events during his absence. However, what 'Lucius' did not know was that his quick visit to the palace had already attracted the attention of several people, including Baron Thorn.

"What do you mean? Did not I tell you not to accept anyone?" 'Lucius' frowned. He was about to leave, as he still needed to transform back into his true appearance and join the tea party with the Queen.

"Your grace, the Baron this time was… very insistent."

'Lucius' gritted his teeth. It was not his intention to see anyone right now. "Very well since the Baron is already here… send him to my study."

"Yes, your grace." The Butler immediately agreed and accompanied the Baron to 'Lucius's' study.
