A Predestined Tragedy

By the time, Leon arrived at the banquet, the guests had already begun eating and chatting in an elegant manner for some time. 

"Did I arrive late?"

Leon thought he was quite punctual. He had arrived at the banquet on the dot. At least, according to the time written in the letter. If Vigo Primrose purposely wrote the wrong time to embarrass him, Leon could only shrug his shoulders. It wouldn't be a surprise to see petty tricks coming from a narrowminded person.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The banquet starts at 6PM, but Vigo Primrose wrote down 6:30PM in the letter. In addition to the early start to the banquet, it made Leon appear really late to the party.

However, the fact that Vigo Primrose did not know Leon's identity meant that he had long severely underestimated the latter's importance.

The news of Leon's return had not reached the Cromwell family. Thus, Dwight and Bromley were pleasantly surprised the moment Leon appeared.
