Well, then again that was if Duke Gaston would even accept Lady Melissa's request to do this, and she would be extremely grateful to him if he did, it would save her a lot of trouble after all.
Though, the third plan wasn't that reliable since well, it all depended on Duke Gason and whether he had wanted to carry out Lady Melissa's request or not, besides she'd understand if he said no to her.
In the end the most reliable plan, and the one that Lady Melissa had expected to be the most reliable one was the second plan, where she would pass a note to Duke Alphonso under the table.
She hoped that none of the guards were standing behind Duke Alphonso because then the guards would have a high chance of seeing it.
If Lady Melissa wasn't mistaken, her swordsmanship teacher should be there too, as one of the guards, even though she was retired, the king had highly requested her, and she was left with no choice but to say yes after seeing how determined he was.
