Once all of the negotiations were done, we were invited in for dinner.
We had arrived in the afternoon and after everything was taken care of, it was already getting dark.
Me and a group of my close confidants would be staying at the Silvermine Family manor, but the rest of them would be staying at an inn.
They could have stayed, but we couldn't put our hosts out like this, so we insisted on sending the rest to an inn.
But for us, we were currently seated for a meal.
It was me, Haley, Cecilia, Shaka, Moon, and Veronica.
I had wanted to send Veronica to the inn with the rest, but she used the duke's influence to threaten me in the end.
In front of the duke's influence, I really couldn't do anything.
So I had no choice but to let her come with us, though I did warn her about acting up. Even then, I could already see trouble coming…
But to my surprise, Veronica acted like a proper lady when meeting the Silvermines.
