Chapter 6:

The scenery in Duke Carlyles office was somewhat stern.

There was nothing suspicious.

Listening to the knights report, Duke Carlyle signed the last page of the approval document he was holding.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

With this, the tasks that needed to be resolved in the capital were almost finished.

Is it done?

Yes, Your Highness.

Elliot, the Dukes secretary, quickly nodded his head.

You dont have any urgent matters to attend to for the time being.

For the entire morning, Duke Carlyle had been busy as if a typhoon had swept through. It was because their master suddenly declared that he would finish all the tasks that needed to be done in the capital by today.

No one dared to oppose the Dukes decision.

The Dukes secretaries spent half a day reviewing contract documents and meeting with guests as if they were crazy.

It was astonishing how they managed to accomplish it all, but in any case, after completing all the schedules, the Dukes residence became as calm as a clear sky after the rain.

Lennox Carlyle looked thoughtfully out the window.

Having finished all urgent matters, he could now analyze the information he had received earlier about Juliets activities and the places she had visited over the past few months.

Juliet didnt enjoy the pleasures of social life, and her social circle was very narrow.

Her daily life was the same monotonous and unchanged as always, she had no contact with suspicious personalities.

In addition, the escort accompanying her reported her every move every hour.

Even todays Juliets schedule was no different from usual.

Like him, she spent half the day in a busy but organized schedule.

It wasnt a special day, except that she had to be back at the Dukes residence by noon, as he had invited her to dinner.

In addition, he already knew about the events that happened in the temple.

Count Casper, you said?

Yes, do you know the name of Marquis Guinness? Engaged to Princess Priscilla. It seems hes almost lost his mind. I think it must be because of the young lady

Of course, Lennox had already forgotten about the Counts insignificant name.

If Juliet had used her impressive illusions in front of people, it would have been a reasonable occurrence.

His only concern at the moment was one thing.

Contrary to their agreement, Juliet hadnt returned to the mansion even after lunchtime.

The young lady will come to the palace banquet hall right after getting ready at the Monads residence.

I see.

Jude, who had gone to escort Juliet, reported.

In the capital, the mansion of Count Monad, Juliets family, still remained.

Lennox wasnt worried that Juliet would suddenly run away or anything of the sort.

Elliot had been Duke Carlyles secretary for 10 years, so he knew all of the Dukes mistresses.

Come to think of it, the Duke already had a woman who unexpectedly brought another man into her bed to get his attention.

Yes, it looked like that.

But what happened to her?

Elliot desperately tried to recall the details but failed. Suddenly, a firm voice called out to him.

Elliot.

Yes, Your Highness.

Release the wolves.

The wolves referred to the elite knights under Duke Carlyles command.

Elliot bowed his head, fervently hoping that nothing would go wrong.

As you command.

After a long time, Juliet visited her house and took a moment to rest before slowly heading out to the city.

The street in front of the upscale clothing stores, where she changed into a different outfit, was bustling with carriages due to the evening New Years ball.

Juliet strolled calmly through the servants who were carrying her reserved shoes and dress.

Her goal was a teahouse located just off the main street.

The owner offered her a table in a warm room when Juliet entered the tea room, but she refused, saying she wanted to see the garden. After that, the owner escorted her to a small tea table in a beautiful garden, where she could observe the scenery.

After a while, two glasses and a transparent decanter with a drink appeared on the table.

Juliet ordered iced tea, chilled to the point of freezing, which was completely unsuitable for the current cold weather.

Thank you.

Youre welcome.

The owner thought it was an unusual preference on such a cold day.

Even after bringing her the beverage, the owner still sent curious glances at Juliet.

Juliet had never introduced herself, but the owner already knew her name and status.

Juliet Monad, only daughter of the late Count Monad.

She was quite a famous person.

Guests who visited the teahouse almost constantly gossiped about someone, but the name, Juliet Monad, popped up in conversations most often.

Some sympathized with her, saying that she was an immature child who lost her parents early and didnt have the opportunity to lean on them, while others spoke contemptuously of her as a pathetic mistress who didnt know her place and tried to get the status of a duchess.

But in the eyes of the elderly owner, she didnt seem like an immature child, nor a woman who didnt know her place.

Looking at her through the window glass, the owner thought she looked like a painting. A luxurious dress, a slight smile on her lips and a slightly thoughtful look, but at the same time she looked just like an ordinary docile lady.

It must be tough being the lover of the infamous Duke.

The owner of the teahouse, who looked at her thoughtfully, for some reason felt sorry for her.
