Cecilia frowned when she heard it. Even in her previous memories, she can't recognize this nonsense.
But, his face indeed have a similiar figure with Armano.
However, my father is more handsome than this man!"I'm so disapointed of you, little niece. You didn't remember me. It is me, the one and only, Uncle Grant. So, how is your father?"
"I have no uncle… Sir."
Grant Lancia's jaw dropped. "What? 'Sir'? Hey, I'm much younger than your father. Call me brother!"
Cecilia gulped. "Br, brother? But we are not sibling."
"Why don't you just nod and be an obidient girl? Ah, shoot. That's not I want to asked you," His eyes glinted and he cleared the throat, "Can you fill me in about what are you and your father doing recently? Why did you bother the Scorpion?"

Armano knows something happened when he saw a familiar face run toward his study room."Kale, why are you here? You are supposed to protect Cecilia!"Kale Vitklov, one of the strongest knights in Team A, bent his body. "Greeting to you, His Highness. Lady Cecilia asked me to sent you a letter. It is urgent matter and she need your reply as fast as possible."Armano's brows raised. "Give me the letter now," When he read the letter, his brows narrowed. "Scorpions, huh?

"Theo, is it okay to continue the journey now?" Cecilia asked after read the letter from his father. That letter only contains two short sentences.[Dear Cecilia, You can continue your journey without any worries. I'll take care everything.]"The sky is getting darker, Miss. In my opinion, it safer if we go tomorrow morning.""Okay. Then you can check the carriage or any preparation for tomorrow's departure.""Very well, Miss." Theo said before he walked out from her room."Miss, do you want to eat dinner?" Mary politely asked her."Wait, Mary. I need to ask you a question. How long did you work in Lancia's?"Mary tilted her head and her index finger touched the chin, "Hmm.. It's about five years. I was fifteen when Duke hired me. Is this something wrong?""Well, did you know my uncle? I mean a man called Grant?"
Hugo was unlucky today. Started from this morning, he almost died because of food poisoning, attacked by a stranger, and just when he wants to get rest, his employer, Max, is going away.Hugo has no choice but to stay at the base to greet the guests. Scorpion has no closing time. They loyally served for 24/7 non-stop.Duke Lancia was sitting and elegantly crossed his leg. He keep silent since came to this room but Hugo feeling so small under his gaze.'I hate this man,' Hugo thought to himself. 'He didn't do anything and suddenly I have an urge to peeing myself.""What are you doing to my daughter?" Just like usual, he is a straightforward man.Hugo raised his brows and collected the remaining of his courage, "It's such an honor for me to meet a man like you, His Highness. However, I don't understand about your question.""How did my daughter get a copy of the South
Christo felt something chilly on his neck. He tightened his scarf and start writing again. His office was almost completely in the darkness because he only used one candle on his desk. But one is enough. The report of Hongport's shipment almost done and his cup was empty. But, Christo doesn't need another coffee. "Just one hour," he said to himself. "After that, I can make a summary of it. Oh, wait, I might as well write another list of the expiration date of the goods. Two copies. One for Father and The Chef." Most of the shipment was a food supplies like wheats, seasoning, flours, etc. To be frank, the expiration list wasn't needed. Since, they always running out the stock before reached the date. But, Christo is Christo. He likes to make detailed information. Once he begins, he can't stop. It was same with his love story. Once he starts falling in love, he
Mary was shocked with her employer's appetite. Cecilia ate three plates of spicy chicken soup when she can't even ate the half of it.But, what make she amazed more was because Cecilia gave so many suggestions to the chef. Since when did she know how to cook? Mary asked to herself."Have you ever tried to fermented a cabbage in the spicy broth?" Cecilia asked."This is the first time I ever heard it, Miss." The Head Chef of the restaurant, Adrian, scratching his head in confussion.In her past as Ji Eun, she read so many cookbooks or watch a lot of cooking shows but never have a chance to practice it. Still, she felt confident with her ability, "Can I see your kitchen?"Adrian nodded, "Of course, Miss. You are lucky because we didn't have so many guest."In facts, Adrian's restaurant was strugling because there are so many competitors in this little town and his res
Duke Lancia is getting bored today. His plan to quarantine the patients from Cadia's Kingdom didn't find any obstacle.The Emperor, Arthur William Alexander IV, gladly agreed on it. Because this idea didn't need so much energy or money to buy weapons, hire spies, or paying the knight's salary.The thing they have to prepare is to build the hospitals on the border of Atrazal and Cadia, Blackthorn Town, which have beautiful scenery and hires several medical teams.With a bit help from Armano, Mr Hambbel successfully found the antidote for the pandemic.If everything works according to the plan, The Cadia's citizen will refuse to go back to their homeland.The people who got quarantined in the Atrazal Empire will get emperor's protection. Which means, they will get a stable job, better income and better environment than Cardia.And this is actually the main objection o

It's still morning anyway. We can come b
