Not only was Victoria assessing the middle-aged man, but he was also sizing her up with his gaze lowered.
After a second of eye contact, the man let go of Victoria, asking her to stand still.
Just as he was about to say something to Victoria, a man who looked like a bodyguard stepped up to steady her.
"Mummy!" Dodo shouted from behind, "Someone caught you, why aren't you thanking him?"
"Oh, right," Victoria burst into laughter. "Thank you very much."
"Not at all." The man smiled back. He gave a serious impression when he didn't smile, but when he did, he seemed very genteel.
Despite looking in his forties, he had an unusually noble temperament and was quite handsome.
He's a very charming man, Victoria thought to herself.
"Mummy, you're so careless," Michael hopped over, "You didn't even see who it was before you leapt. But luckily, Mr. Wright saved you, or else you'd have fallen flat."
Ah, so this is Mr. Wright.
The actual ruler of North Sez.
