After lunch, Margaret meticulously dressed herself and took a carriage to visit the estate of the Owen family.
As fellow old-fashioned nobility, the Owen family had long withdrawn from political turmoil, preferring to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. Recently, the young heir had inherited the earldom, staying in the capital, while the rest of the relatives either returned to their hometowns or stayed in distant estates to recuperate.
Margaret had spoken with this heir a few times before and remembered him as a mild-mannered person who was still unmarried.
Someone suitable for a one-night stand, perhaps.
When Margaret visited, the Earl of Owen appeared pleasantly surprised. During their subsequent conversation, she casually reached for some sugar cubes, pinching his fingertips, which caused the man to blush furiously.
