Once Zwein's group had left after dinner, the duke convened with his daughter in his study.
After sitting down and the maids left after putting down their drinks, the duke finally said, "It seems like your plan has worked."
Veronica gave a nod in response to this without saying a thing.
That was because there was a look of deep thought that was on her face, as if she was lost in her thoughts while considering something.
The duke didn't find this strange since that was just how his daughter was. She was someone who went at her own pace and if there was something that she found herself interested in, she would be completely lost in that thing.
While he could guess what she was currently thinking about, he didn't say anything and just waited for her to finish.
After a while, Veronica looked up at the duke and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The duke gave a nod and asked, "What should we do now?"
