Sophia Garanord changed into a formal dress and, upon seeing Charles, curtsied slightly and said, "I've been under Mister Mecklen's care for some time, and I've specifically come to express my gratitude."
The middle-aged gentleman smiled slightly and said, "I am Armand, the butler of Count Galanod's mansion, accompanying the young lady here, and I also bring the Count's gratitude."
"The Count says, 'Sophia's life is more precious to him than all the treasures in the world. He cannot imagine how to live if he were to lose his daughter. He does not know what gift could possibly equate to the value of Sophia, so he can only offer the most sincere friendship as a token of thanks.'"
"If you need anything in the future, please tell us, and the Garanord Family will spare no effort to help."
Charles wore a faint smile on his face, but internally he combed through his memories and mused, "Count? I don't think I've heard of him. Forget it, no use racking my brain, I'll ask Taoles later."
