What Matters

"Now guess," Liam said with a smile. He pulled a letter that had been opened from his jacket pocket and showed it to Harriet.

Harriet took it and read the letter. Her eyes widened as she realized what was written on the letter.

“His Grace and Her Grace are visiting?!” Harriet gasped in surprise. “S-you mean, Old Duchess will…?”

Liam smiled widely. “That's right, Grandma finally decided to get out of the Great Forest. It seems that this was also due to the previous war… but mainly because she wanted to get to know you.”

"Ah!" Harriet opened her mouth wide. She gasped loudly and her face began to turn pale.

Seeing Harriet so panicked, Liam laughed. "Why do you react like that?"

"Oh! We have to clean the house—no, we have to change the window curtains and carpets!” cried Harriet.

“Pffff—hahahaha!” Liam laughed loudly at Harriet's words.
