The house was dark and dawn seemed to be far off. Having skipped dinner to take care of her unexpected guest, Laritte was quite hungry.
Ian panicked as he watched Laritte march to the kitchen to have her late night dinner. This lady had slept on the knee of a man she didn’t even know, asked him if he liked stew, and was now walking away.
You would even treat a stranger so well? The sound of chopping vegetables and boiling water told him that she really was making stew. Ian could do nothing more than stay seated by the warm fireplace. Not long after, she came back with…
“It really is stew,” Ian mumbled under his breath
The freshly-made and steaming stew looked so appetising that it nearly made him drool. She made it herself, and although it didn’t look like something fit for a noble, it was still good enough. Laritte tilted her head, not understanding his words.
“So that means there’s such a thing as ‘fake stew?’”
“That’s not….”
He wasn’t able to keep his mouth shut. Somehow, though, he felt like he couldn’t continue speaking with her attitude.
“Excuse me, miss.”
“I’m not a ‘miss’. I got married not too long ago.” Laritte answered neatly.
Ian looked at the inside of the house. Thinking about it, she definitely lived alone. But she says she’s married? What the hell was her husband doing then?
Since he showed no sign of taking the stew, Laritte placed his portion by the fireplace. Then, she stood back up and began eating her portion with a carefree attitude.
The meat and vegetables disappeared one by one into her small mouth.
“What are you doing…?”
“The only chair here was taken by my guest.”
“That’s not what I… Huu, do you know where we are?”
This was Duke Reinhardt’s last remaining property. That’s what he heard the sleazeballs in the back-alley say. So, in his opinion, the uninvited guest here was Laritte and not him.
“Of course. Is this not the Duke’s villa?”
“So you know this is a house without an owner…”
“Sorry, but I’m now the owner of this place.”
