“Have you returned?”
Duke Schneider greeted Christoph as he entered the living room. The old gentleman’s eyes narrowed slightly as he examined his grandson’s face.
Christoph’s complexion said it all. It was enough to guess that things hadn’t gone well.
Click. Duke Schneider clicked his tongue softly, so Christoph couldn’t hear. Christoph just nodded his head toward him and turned away.
“I will go up first.”
Whether others saw or not, he maintained his proper appearance and climbed the stairs wearily, loosening his tightened ascot tie with one hand. Thunk, thunk, he also unbuttoned his shirt one by one.
Christoph clenched his jaw. A blue vein stood out on his neck.
The room he used every time he visited the estate had not changed at all since he last came. Christoph threw his ascot tie on the bed, recalling the last time he was here.
It was last year, his grandfather’s birthday. Naturally, he was with Marianne. Even though it was Duke Schneider’s second birthday after their marriage, she was as nervous as the first year.
Christoph couldn’t understand her. The sky wouldn’t fall just because one didn’t know some trivial etiquette. There were countless ways to silence those who were critical.
Even their first meeting wasn’t like that. The memory from a long time ago suddenly came to mind without any effort.
The Royal College had opened its doors to women, following the flow of the times. And Marianne was one of three women admitted to the law school, notorious for its conservatism within the Royal College.
Christoph was a senior and was so busy doing his practicum that he had no time to rest. It didn’t matter to him whether a woman or a cat entered the college.
Occasionally, he found it unfamiliar to encounter women in dresses in the hallway. He had heard that there were only three female students in the law school, but he found it strange to see more women coming and going.
He was completely unaware that they were there to see him.
Christoph was the envy of not only his juniors but also his peers. Good pedigree, excellent brain, outstanding abilities, and great appearance. He was a chosen human, missing nothing.
Moreover, the rumor had already begun to circulate that this year’s successful candidate for the large law firm ‘Bagger,’ which took only one new employee per year, was Christoph. It probably wasn’t a big mistake.
Nobles’ children often married at the same time they graduated. Late marriage would only bring unnecessary rumors, so there was no need to scratch it and make a scab.
Love was sufficient after marriage. Marriage was just a contract between families, and it was not uncommon for each to have a lover or mistress after marriage.
However, there was no shadow of a woman around Christoph. There was no engagement, and there were no cheap rumors following him. Everyone knew that he was too busy to look at women.
So the question of which young lady Christoph would marry was always at the center of people’s interest.
Perhaps the position that no one had been appointed to could be theirs, a faint hope.
But that was it; there were more important things to Christoph. He had started his practicum at ‘Bagger,’ the most prestigious law firm in the capital, and he lacked the time to devote to cases.
As he reminded himself of his appointment with his mentor, hurriedly moving along at that time.
– Excuse me.
A firm voice penetrated Christoph’s eardrums. It wasn’t a sharp or harsh voice. Rather, it sounded calm and soft.
Despite that, there was a force in the voice. If he heard that voice in the courtroom, he would probably be unconsciously persuaded by that sound.
Christoph slowly slowed his pace and turned his head towards the source of the noise. About a dozen students were making a circle, surrounding someone.
The whispers from those in the back reached him, “Christoph, Christoph Schneider.” Snickers and sideways glances could be felt as well.
Christoph’s gaze, taller than the rest by a head, easily pushed through the crowd and moved forward. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. It was because Michael was there.
The third son of the Count of Hindenburg, he did not have a particularly good reputation, unlike Christoph. It was well known that his enrollment in law school was probably due to his father’s donation.
Such was Michael, glaring at someone with cold eyes. And at the end of his gaze was a woman. Her bobbing short hair was captivating, drawing Christoph’s eyes.
Her pale blue eyes were so distant as to be unfathomable. They even sparkled in a way that might have been stars, he thought foolishly.
Unaware, Christoph’s eyes were drawn to her, and belatedly he noticed a woman sobbing in her arms.
Not good.
He didn’t know what it was, but he had an intuition that they were caught up in something unpleasant. If Michael Hindenburg was involved, it usually was.
As expected, Michael threw a mocking smile.
