"Duke Gaston?"
The Duchess asked, pretending to be confused as she acted as if she hadn't known that Duke Gaston hadn't been here the entire time, before she finally pretended to figure out that Duke Gaston was here, putting on a surprised expression on her face.
"Greetings Duke Gaston, I apologize for not greeting you early on, I am Lady Melissa's mother, Duchess of the Shayla estate."
The Duchess said, as she put a smile on her face, extending a hand for Duke Gaston to shake it- to which he did, of course, greeting Lady Melissa's parents since the Duke had greeted him as well soon after his wife had done so.
"I hope that Melissa hasn't brought you any trouble, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for helping Melissa. We certainly owe you for this, why don't you stay for a bit and we can discuss some details along with you?"
