Chương 312: Chapter 309: the calm before the storm IV

It was 7:40 in the evening when Geoffrey arrived in the ducal mansion of Maxwell in the capital. Since he was visiting incognito, he only brought 5 men as escorts to not draw attention.

Although his visit was unannounced, he was welcomed by the employees in the ducal mansion as they all recognized him.

Upon entering the mansion, the butler first greeted him.

"Your highness."

"At ease." Geoffrey replied.

"I shall announce your arrival to the lady. Please, wait a moment."

"No need. Where is she?"

The butler was not sure, but then, another servant came in to say that the lady was in the drawing room. The butler wanted to lead Geoffrey there, but again, Geoffrey declined.

The butler no longer insisted lest he earns the ire of the crown prince. Anyway, him and their lady has been alone in a room a couple of times already. So, he just thought, propriety be damned.
