It was a peculiar sense of incongruity.

Alex, who had become the butler of the Barlock domain, was from Hitroysen.

The Hitroysen family had honored serving the Barlocks for generations.

If a butler was needed, it had to be someone from Hitroysen.

It was only Sylas Barlock who was an exception; until then, all the Dukes had entrusted the management to Hitroysen.

“You look pleased.”

At Creta’s words, Alex smoothed his windblown hair with his fingertips and smiled.

“Isn’t it a moment I’ve been eagerly awaiting?”

His subtle smile, without revealing his teeth and slightly moving the corners of his eyes and lips, was impeccable.

Expressing his feelings adequately while not leaving a clear impression on the other party.

It was truly a butlerlike expression.

If it weren’t for this uncomfortable pulling sensation at the back of his head, it would indeed have been a moment to marvel at his being from Hitroysen.

“Is Lord Hitroysen doing well?”

“He’s well. However, he’s aged and can’t serve the Duke for long, so I’ve come. Changing butlers can be burdensome for the master.”

“I see.”

Creta nodded and led Alex to the third floor.

“Still, it seems the Duke stays on the third floor,” Alex’s words earned him another smile from Creta.

Gillian nodded lightly upon seeing Alex.

“You resemble Ketrick Hitroysen a lot.”

“You knew my grandfather?”

“I saw him a long time ago.”

Though infrequent, vivid memories of Ketrick, who used to visit him, resurfaced in Alex’s mind.

Alex bowed slightly, elated by Gillian’s words.

“It’s an honor to serve you again.”

“Discuss work matters with my adjutant, Creta, and adapt as quickly as possible.”

“Of course, Your Grace.”

With that brief conversation, the Barlock domain had a new butler.

Now, there was no shortage of staff in Barlock.

Everyone, even the gardeners who were said to be lacking, had been hired, and those unable to enter due to the snowstorm had all arrived today.

“The house got a butler!”

Julie’s cheeks were flushed as she excitedly delivered the news.

“Are you that happy?”

“Absolutely, Creta nags a lot. It feels like my head will explode listening to her. Julie, can’t you listen properly? Julie, don’t step like that! Julie, Julie, Julie. Ah, I feel nauseous.”

Ah.

Bianca let out a short laugh.

The young maid’s nagging was so detailed because she had been reporting to Creta.

Suppressing her laughter with throatclearing sounds, Bianca managed to continue listening to Julie’s excited rant.

For instance, about the Duke’s whereabouts.

Why Gillian had left his office.

The atmosphere was quite warm when Creta burst in, busy talking about how the snow had stopped.

“Your Grace! The snow has stopped. Please check before we bring in the supplies.”

Creta’s urgency left no room for words.

The same went for Gillian.

Putting aside his eagertotalk expression for a moment, he followed the urging Creta out.

He had been gone for already three hours.

The short day was already tilting.

Assuming he’d be back soon to check the supplies, Bianca was a little bewildered while waiting.

But after hearing Julie’s story, it made sense why Gillian couldn’t return.

“So the warp engine is operational.”

During the snowfree interval, they were rapidly using the warp engine.

Supplies for repairing the broken castle were pouring in, and the staff who had been snowbound were returning; Gillian naturally had to be busy.

She wanted to give him her answer about the proposal.

She had waited all this time.

However, Bianca quietly curbed her impatient heart.
Regretting it would be a lie, but now was the time to wait for him.

“As soon as you arrive, you’re this busy… I wonder if the Duke isn’t pushing himself too hard.”

“His complexion didn’t look so good when I saw him earlier.”

“He arrived at dawn.”

“He must be tired. This wave seemed to give him more trouble than usual.”

“Did he eat?”

“I’m not sure. Probably not? He checked up to the third warp and went to his office. Then the butler arrived at the fourth warp.”

Right.

He had been receiving greetings from the new butler.

He must have been incredibly busy, with not even a moment to sip water.

Unlike herself, who had timed her meals and waited for him with tea.

Bianca put down the documents she was holding, feeling a tinge of guilt.

“Could you go to the kitchen and get some simple cookies? I think I should go to the Duke.”

“Should I get some tea leaves as well?”

“Tea leaves?”

“I haven’t heard what kind of tea the Duke prefers.”

Obviously, there wouldn’t be any tea in his office.

Bianca was surprised by Juli’s words.

Since coming here, the one who had taken the most care of Bianca was none other than Gillian.

And he doesn’t take care of himself?

This couldn’t be brushed off as merely being busy.

A Duke without even tea leaves in his office.

“Get a teapot too.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Juli responded excitedly to Bianca’s words.

“The tea has gone cold.”
