"What? Did I say something wrong?" Lord Bennet asked.
Count Harriston sighed as he massaged his temples. Lord Bennet looked at him with confusion when Countess Lottway asked.
"Oh my! Is it your niece the one who is debuting?"
Lord Bennet analysed the situation and understood it now. 'It seems Percival hasn't told them about Milady.' So he smiled and nodded.
"Actually, no. But I treat her like my own. Isn't that right, Percival?"
Count Harriston sighed and just nodded unwillingly. Count Lottway noticed the changes on Count Harriston's face, but he kept quiet.
"Whose child is it then? What house?"
Lord Bennet thought momentarily and said, "It's a surprise. Won't it be fun to make it a surprise at the ball? You will know on the day of the ball."
Count Lottway nodded, "That's right. If this is her first debut, then we can all see her at the ball."
