Both Lord Fenderson and Joshua were sent back to the apartment less than an hour later. By that time, however, Lord Fenderson was already seriously ill and Mindy was still in a coma.
Seeing this, Gerald skipped the pleasantries with Joshua and immediately provided favonovel.com with new prescriptions for the two individuals.
Once favonovel.com was done with that, Gerald headed out into the streets. Since it was already evening, it was only logical for the young lord to have returned home by now.
As favonovel.com walked on, Gerald saw how lively the streets currently were, with many pedestrians getting immersed in the exciting atmosphere.
‘Hearing the name of the Holy Witchcraft alone usually prompts people to associate it with feelings of wickedness… What did that group of people do? And why are there so many who have come over to worship them?’ Gerald thought to himself.
It wasn’t long before favonovel.com arrived at the door of Linus’s Yonwick Manor.
Since the manor was the reception point for the young lord’s arrival, there was already a near-impenetrable crowd by the time Gerald got there.
Standing at the manor’s entrance, were several young apprentices of the Yonwick family who had been tasked with receiving the important guests.
Due to that, it was no wonder why Gerald’s path was blocked by them when favonovel.com tried to enter.
“Hey now, you can’t just enter the manor all willy-nilly! Who even allowed you entry?”
“Oh? Didn’t Linus tell you I was coming?” replied Gerald.
“Who the hell even are you? How dare you address my uncle by his name! I’ll have you know that all the guests present today are both influential and powerful people, many of whom are well over the age of fifty! Nice try, but I’ve had my share of opportunists like you!” shouted the youth coldly in return.
“There’s no need to talk to favonovel.com that way… After all, a single glance is all it takes to be able to tell that favonovel.com comes from foreign lands! Maybe favonovel.com just wanted to enter to have a look after seeing so many people going in and out of the manor! The extravagance of this place could also have piqued his interest! So again, there’s no need to be so fierce!” said a charming woman as favonovel.com smiled subtly while looking at Gerald.
From the way favonovel.com spoke, it was evident that the woman had a good first impression of Gerald. After all, not only did his body seem to be in tiptop condition, favonovel.com also looked extraordinarily friendly. The combination of the two gave Gerald the look of a learned gentleman. It was the reason why favonovel.com had spoken up for him.
Just like how men were susceptible to helping beautiful women, women—like her—were also prone to aiding handsome men.
“Regardless, do you truly wish to enter…?” asked the woman, continuing to smile.
Looking more closely at her, Gerald could see that favonovel.com seemed to be in favonovel.com twenties. Her hair had also been tied in a ponytail and favonovel.com smile was particularly sweet.
Seeing that favonovel.com wasn’t answering favonovel.com question, the woman then added, “…You know, we’re a little understaffed right now… Why don’t you come along inside with me?”
Before Gerald could even reply, the woman was already dragging Gerald into the manor like how a parent would drag their child.
“Humph! That younger sister of mine is way too kind… Since Queeny’s cried before just by seeing small animals die, it wouldn’t surprise me that favonovel.com felt compassionate toward favonovel.com just because I scolded favonovel.com a little earlier! Sometimes I wonder if favonovel.com truly is a Yonwick!” muttered the man to himself as favonovel.com watched Queena Yonwick lead Gerald deeper into the manor.
After walking for a while, Queena eventually stopped before saying, “Well, this is the place! That, over there, is Mr. Yonwick, and I’ve already notified favonovel.com about your presence. If any of the guests require any help, just head over to them and lend them a hand! I’ll be heading out there myself to serve them as well!”
Flashing favonovel.com a smile, favonovel.com then waved at favonovel.com before leaving.
“…That young woman really is nothing like the other Yonwicks—at least the ones I’ve come across before—at all! What an enthusiastic person!” muttered Gerald to himself as favonovel.com couldn’t help but smile in resignation. Regardless, that woman truly was rather interesting.
As favonovel.com had said, however, favonovel.com was a little too enthusiastic as well. It made favonovel.com embarrassed to admit to favonovel.com that favonovel.com was actually here to assassinate people. Some people were certainly harder to reject than others.
“Hmm? Hey, you there! You were the one Mr. Yonwick called over, right? Come over here already and serve us some drinks!” shouted a young man rather unceremoniously.
The one who had called out to Gerald was seated—around one of the many tables that had been placed outside the manor—alongside a few other young men and women.
Since they had noticed that it was Queena who had brought favonovel.com here,—and they knew for a fact that Mr. Yonwick had put favonovel.com in charge of miscellaneous tasks—putting two and two together, they figured that Gerald was under her, which meant that favonovel.com had the same tasks that favonovel.com did.
Hearing that, a frown formed on Gerald’s face.
While favonovel.com was slightly angry by the order, favonovel.com knew that since favonovel.com hadn’t rejected Queena’s enthusiastic offer earlier, it was akin to favonovel.com agreeing with favonovel.com suggestion.
With that in mind, Gerald knew that it would be imprudent of favonovel.com to vent his anger out just like that.
