When the butler had proposed the Grand Question to the three ladies... they all fell silent.

"… … …"

"…uh, ladies?" Sebas prompted, his tone as patient as ever. "Anyone here with a good idea on how to welcome future visitors?"

Unfortunately, still, none of them had spoken an answer...

He shifted his gaze first to Anastasia… but the redheaded lord of this region only looked away from his steady, expectant gaze.

Then... he shifted his gaze to both Martha and Bella, and… these two aides of the lord also averted each of their own gazes away from his.

"...You guys really don't have any clue, huh?"

"—!"

Their response was a unified startle—a clear sign that none of them could answer the butler's question.

Or at the very least, they didn't have the courage to express their ideas.

Sebas let out a quiet sigh, the sound filling the heavy silence.
