The party was already coming to an end.
The girls and I were returning to the inn.
Jess must have left the mansion relatively recently.
So soon we would meet again at the inn.
Since there is some distance from the Duke's mansion to the residential area of the city, the Duke had arranged some carriages to transport the guests.
Most of the guests already had their own carriages prepared to return to their homes, however, unexpected events could always happen.
I had arranged for a carriage beforehand to transport us to the mansion but after reading in the invitation letter that the Duke would provide carriages for our return, I decided that it would be better to use them instead.
'They are free carriages after all!'
Though I have enough money, this was still a very tempting offer.
