Ironically, I might not have been able to say even those words.
Knock, knock.
The butler announced the presence of a visitor.
“Master, Mr. Taylor has arrived.”
Despite it being late at night, the meeting she had personally called for and waited for made Lady Viscountess indifferent to the time.
“Come in.”
After opening the door, Lady Viscountess greeted Taylor with a smile.
“Taylor, our young Mr. Lorenson.”
Lady Viscountess rose from her seat to welcome him.
“That name seems to suit you well now.”
Taylor smiled, gesturing with a bow.
“It seems like it’s been a while, Lady Viscountess.”
“Yes. Please, have a seat.”
Taylor sat where Lady Viscountess indicated.
As Lady Viscountess gracefully sat down, she folded her fan.
“Did you hear the conversation roughly? How far did Mr. Lorenson discuss?”
Taylor replied, “To be honest, I didn’t hear it in detail. Although he told me not to disappoint since it’s the first task officially entrusted by the Viscountess, my father, without explaining the circumstances, thought there might be a need for improvisation, so he tested me without disclosing any information.”
“…”
Though he completed the assigned task, he didn’t hear a detailed explanation about the circumstances. Without a response, Lady Viscountess waited for the butler to bring tea. After silently picking up her teacup, she spoke again.
“…I see. Indeed, Alvin is a wise person. You recognized someone like your father from the old days; my goodness, your mother’s insight is truly remarkable. Thanks to that, I had the opportunity to recognize you.”
Lady Viscountess, subtly recalling the intimate relationship between them and the Lorenson family, looked at Taylor with a certain meaning.
“That’s an exaggeration.”
Lady Viscountess offered Taylor tea and asked, “So, how was it? Did you manage Father’s test well?”
Investigating, perhaps as if exploring reluctance involved in the Viscount’s falsehoods and irregularities,
Taylor modestly lowered his gaze in response to the indirect question.
“I wouldn’t dare to make that judgment. I’m just waiting for Lady Viscountess to decide.”
Lady Viscountess seemed satisfied with Taylor’s response.
“Is that so?”
Lady Viscountess didn’t completely believe Taylor’s answer at once, but she gave his moderate attitude a pass.
“…”
In fact, Lady Viscountess was very curious about what Taylor had grasped after meeting Reyna.
She wanted to know if Reyna’s sincerity remained unchanged, and after hearing directly from Taylor that he took good care of her grandmother, she also wanted to confirm how moved and loyal the girl had become.
However, if Taylor had entered without fully understanding the situation, focusing on grasping the situation, she thought he might not have brought much information today.
It was regrettable, but considering the prescience of Alvin Lorenson, she thought this process might be necessary as well.
“…”
After quietly sipping the tea, Lady Viscountess began her questioning.
“Did you meet her? How is she doing?”
Taylor replied.
“It seemed like quite a pressured situation. There were about ten to twenty knights guarding even outside the room, so I wondered what was going on.”
With a slightly worried and hesitant expression, Taylor continued speaking.
“…I didn’t expect there would be two knights guarding even inside the bedroom. It surprised me. I felt like I was under strict surveillance.”
Lady Viscountess sighed and touched her forehead.
“…Strict surveillance?”
“There were two knights guarding inside the bedroom as well?”
“Yes… I understood the reasons seeing that the lady is someone different, but…”
Taylor deliberately spoke with a lack of certainty.
“…Was it always like this?”
Lady Viscountess pondered.
“…Did Arthur not have it?”
“He entered midway… It was quite a stern atmosphere. It wasn’t easy to have a conversation. I felt that I was being guarded quite intensively.”
Then, Taylor cautiously inquired, revealing a hesitant demeanor.
“Did your father always have it like this when he visited… or was it because I am a first-time visitor unlike your father?”
“…”
Taylor, obediently pretending to report to Lady Viscountess, began gathering information about Reyna from Lady Viscountess.

really disliked him
