When Aster finally left the room, all the joy in Grand Duchess' face disappeared instantly. She bit her lip, this was the first time she actually got trapped by her son's innocence.
'That butler must've influenced him! Despicable!'
The maids were surprised seeing their master went awry for the first time. She was always calm and collected, well informed about the game she was playing, and usually got the upper hand. But this time, her face frowned, and that frown seemed to get deeper and deeper.
All that was caused by her own son revealing a trump card directly in front of her and shamelessly asked for her protection.
'That butler is far smarter than what I expected.'
'But… I still have a way to control this.'
Grand Duchess took a deep breath.
