The chilling to the bone situation that Salis was in came to an end.
No… Actually… He left the scene.
Because he was called by the Commander, Duke Hugh.
"Your Grace, It's me, Salis. May I come in?"
"Come in…"
Creak…
The door was pushed ahead and Salis saw His Grace looking outside the window with the beautiful and majestic garden at its background.
"You called for me, Your Grace?'
He bowed his head as he greeted the Duke.
"What's the situation?"
"Huh? Situation?"
Salis glanced back up. The Duke was now sitting at the chair.
"Didn't the Countess arrive and ask Leti to have tea with her?"
"Yes. They're in the parlor right now."
"And so? What's happening there?"
Salis became quiet and paused for a second.
'Is it okay to tell the Duke about it?'
Of course, in the end, Saslis needs to say it. Since, the one in front of him was the one he swore loyalty to.
