Baron Rencer's gaze wavered like a candle flickering in the wind. He swallowed dryly and managed to speak.

“Well, hearing that my daughter was seeing someone, I thought it best to at least meet him face-to-face.”

“Oh, I see! I thought you were leaving the castle because you couldn’t stand the sight of me,” Ahwin said, his tone bright and shameless.

“…That is absolutely not the case,” Baron Rencer replied, struggling to maintain his dignified expression.

Ahwin’s face lit up with delight. How audacious.@@novelbin@@

Still, this was bad. The more Ahwin spoke, the more his true nature would be revealed.

That he could be childishly petty, recklessly honest, and inexplicably erratic in ways only a genius could manage. That despite being the Tower Master, he lived entirely by his own rules.

The rumors were already rampant throughout Halo’s lord’s castle, to the point where even Penelope’s maids weren’t afraid of him in the slightest.

Ahwin set his teacup down and suggested, “Baron Rencer, why don’t you and your family stay at Halo Castle for a while? We could enjoy tea and meals together on occasion. Penelope would surely be happy to spend some time with her family after so long.”
