Chapter 17: Keen Observer
"Duke Sylvester will be temporarily living with us for a week."
I blinked from Alpha Grant's words. "Temporarily living with us?" I confirmed. For what reason does the duke have to stay with us for a short time? I want to add but I kept that question.
"He will examine and check the semi-annual account records, Luna Anais." It was Beta Solomon who just spoke.
"Escort Duke Sylvester to his new quarters, Anais. Make sure he will feel welcome to our manor."
"I am honored if Marchioness Anais is escorting me, Marquess Grant."
I forced myself to nod, feeling pressured for these three men who were looking at me intently. Especially Alpha Grant who still had an irritating look. I even caught him glaring at Duke Sylvester. The duke has no idea he has been darted a look because his eyes were focused on me.
In the end, I bowed before them. "I must escort him." I turned at Duke Sylvester. "Please follow me, Your Grace."
"Absolutely."
