Both Dukes shook their hands as if a transaction was done, making Vincent, Ester, Lupa, Kazumi, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura believe higher-ranked nobles used a lot of money or costly items for situations an ordinary person would choose words over money and apologize.
"Ohh. Looks like Viscount Aceon Ponalis and the troublemaker Vincent Lionheart are here as well." Lucas said as if he had just noticed them right now.
Aceon stood up and respectfully bowed. "I am honored to be in your presence, Duke Lucas Hawkins. My daughter is also pleased to be in the presence of the Duke."
Tiffi crossed her arms and frowned. "No, father. Mother Karta told me not to greet Duke Lucas Hawkins if he looks at me instead of father first."
Aceon took out a clean second handkerchief and wiped his forehead. His daughter was about to kill him from anxiety because these weren't words someone should say to a Duke, even if they were friendly.
