Augustus was a true sly old fox; it didn't matter whether Violet was Wozworth's cousin or not. As long as Violet was brought back by Qin Chu and was not a witch, they would ultimately have to acknowledge her existence, or else it would displease Mr. Brave.

It wouldn't offend Qin Chu and might even curry favor with him—a win-win situation.
Since Augustus had accepted, Saint Monica and Zimmerman exchanged glances, their brows slightly furrowed, but eventually, they also accepted this explanation.
"Now, onto the next issue, Catherine and Rose Vesper, you two left the Imperial City with Mr. Brave without permission...huh?"
