It was a rainy day in Marquess Webster's territory. Alister was on a visit to an agricultural area when the rain suddenly fell, forcing him to immediately finish his work. The autumn rain made his body cold, especially when he was traveling on his horse. Alister spurred his horse quickly, then hurriedly entered when he finally returned to his residence.
"We have prepared hot water, my Lord."
"Thank You."
Alister immediately took a shower to raise his body temperature again, then changed into warmer clothes after he finished. The butler, who had taken care of him since he was young, provided a glass of hot chocolate when Alister finished. Alister took a book before he sat in a chair near the fire while enjoying a glass of hot chocolate.
Everything should have been perfect until the Butler, who had just left suddenly returned with a troubled expression.
"Lady Vanessa has just arrived on horseback, my Lord. Right now, she wants to see you immediately."
