49— Meeting the Duke and Duchess of Wesealt

"Welcome, Your Grace," a line of servants had formed in front of the Ruby Palace to welcome the Duchess of Wesealt once she stepped out of the car gracefully.

Following her, Claude Killian, the Duke of Wesealt, exited the car elegantly.

The maids didn't expect the duke's visit, but they proceeded to greet him along with the duchess.

"I thought he would be a robust man but he turned out to be so handsome!"
