Tessa scampered around the mansion with her tiny feet.
The place where Tessa found Casius was a training yard in a remote part of the mansion.
Even though it was an abandoned and old mansion, it still seemed to remember the glory of the past.
Casius was swinging his sword like a beast, as if to shake off the neglect he was enduring from the emperor.
Tessa called out to Casius with all her might.
“Casius, sir!! Look! Casiussir!”
When Tessa remembered other people’s warnings that one should never approach when Casius had his sword in hand, she was coughing as she rolled around.
Fortunately, Casius seemed to have heard Tessa’s voice and stopped his training.
“What’s all the commotion?”
Casius came over, wiping his sweat with a towel, and stroked Tessa’s head.
“Um. That’s…”
“Catch your breath.”
Casius handed Tessa the water pouch he had.
Tessa drank the water and wiped her lips.
“A guest has arrived, Sir Casius! Sir Terion says to hurry and come out after bathing!”
“Terion? Didn’t he say he was going to get a suit?”
“That’s…! Count Pierst sent a gift from his home. The lady in the dressing room has brought someone! They’re looking for you, Sir Casius. They want to fit you for the dress you’ll wear at the banquet!”
Casius frowned.
Count Pierst’s house?
What on earth was this family doing, showing kindness to a knight of slave origin?
He had learned from a young age that there was no such thing as kindness without a price.
‘Damn. I should know about the system.’
Casius, who had just risen to the system, had no information at all.
At least Terion was running around here and there, gathering information, but that was not enough.
Casius was a power that had just entered the system, and the central nobles were all bunched up like oldtimers.
And then, Count Pierst’s house extended a hand without prior notice.
Casius moved with rough strides.
A few knights were fidgeting in the hall.
A knight who spotted Casius clung to him with a pale, frightened face.
“A woman, women have come! To this mansion!”
“So what?”
“They are women! And not just one, several…! They were very beautiful!”
“Let go of me! Why the fuss!”
“Because they are women? Should I, uh… bring some water or something? Do you know how to make tea?”
“Do we even have tea in this mansion?”
“We can manage that much!”
The knights began to argue amongst themselves.
Casius looked at them incredulously and then strode up to the second floor.
Terion would be entertaining the guests himself.
Tessa ran up to Casius.
“They must have been surprised to see women for the first time in a while.”
Her smiling face was cute. Casius chuckled and shook his head.
“Nonsense. Tessa, keep an eye on what they are doing. As you know, they are just people who lead with their hearts.”
“Yes!”
Tessa nodded excitedly and went downstairs.
Casius watched her back for a moment.
He had no idea where to send Tessa, who remembered nothing, so he kept her with him, but…
He thought he should send her to a better environment.
This place was full of rough knights, and there was no one to take care of Tessa.
It would be nice if the emperor gave Casius a proper territory, but…
“Damn.”
Now was not the time for such thoughts.
First, he had to go to the banquet hall.
Casius shook his head, cursing, and went into the bathroom.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]With his stilldamp hair, Casius entered the reception room.
As expected, Terion was fretting as he entertained the guests.
When Terion saw Casius, he flashed a bright smile.
“Here! Please sit down quickly!”
The woman who had been talking to Terion rose from her seat and bowed.
Certainly, here’s the translation of the passage:
“I am Madam Turiel, who runs Turiel’s costume room. Just call me Turiel comfortably, Sir Casius.”
Terion quickly whispered to Casius.
“Nobility, nobility!”
“… Who sent you?”
“The Count of Pierst sent you.”
Turiel spoke elegantly as she straightened her waist.
She spoke softly and politely, but Turiel was naturally born with nobility in her body.
It was clear that there was some secret in the house of Count Pierst when such a person bowed so humbly to Casius.
Casius plopped down into his seat.
“Sit down. I think we need to talk first. Don’t mess up by picking up anything as a gift.”
Turiel smiled faintly.
“Yes. If that’s what you want.”
Turiel sat back down in her chair.
“Will you pass out the people around you? My staff will be passed out too.”
As Casius nodded his head, Terion took everyone else outside with a disappointed face.
The door closed soon after. Casius spoke sharply.
“Terion! Back off 20 paces.”
“Tsk!”
The sound of grumbling and footsteps faded away outside.
Casius folded his arms and leaned back in his chair.
“The Pierst family has been working for the Lotera family for generations.”
Turiel began to speak in a gentle voice.
“This morning, Lindey, who works as a gardener at the Empress’s palace, came to see me. To commission a dress for Sir Casius. Do you know who sent me?”

really disliked him
