The Georgi family’s residence is located in the central area of Jiltry.
That area is a high grade residential district, equivalent to the Capital’s noble district. However Jiltry doesn’t have nearly as many nobles as the Capital does, so the ones living here weren’t just nobles, but also some wealthy merchants and whatnot.
Shien’s group flew on Yulin all the way here, so there’s no way that the people of the Georgi family wouldn’t have noticed.
Thus, when Yulin descended from the sky toward the direction of the Georgi family home, Terrance was already waiting for them with a group of knights and servants.
“Welcome, Lord Bayztrot. I didn’t expect you to come looking for me.”
Although Terrance greeted Shien and the others, who jumped down from Yulin’s back, with a smile, he was actually swearing up a storm on the inside.
It can’t be helped. From the start, he was praying with all his heart that Shien could leave Jiltry as soon as possible and let Jiltry calm back down without anything major that he can’t control happening. Yet, who could have expected Shien to come by on his dragon the very next day. It really did make Terrance nervous.
After all, the scene of Yulin shattering Jiltry’s barrier with a single breath yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
Terrance for one wasn’t deluded to think that his own home was even tougher than the city’s barrier after all.
Therefore, he really is a bit scared that he might have accidentally offended Shien, and that Shien is now coming by with his dragon to seek revenge.
If that really was the case, hen the Georgi family will definitely all die by dragon breath.
Shien on the other hand didn’t consider any of that. He just brought Airi and Lasha, who is holding Beatrice, along, turned his back on Yulin, who was hovering in midair, and stepped forward to meet Terrance.
“I’m really sorry about coming by without notice.”
Shien gave Terrance an apologetic grin.
“Not at all, I would only be overjoyed to have you visit.” Terrance hurriedly shook his head and did his best to put a happy smile on before asking, “Since you did come, how about coming in for a bit?”
“Come in, huh?”
Shien glanced at the residence behind Terrance.
The residence isn’t particularly large, but it is pretty decent when compared to that of an average viscount.
Likely, it’s all due to the fact that while Terrance is a viscount, he’s also the governor of Jiltry and the Captain of the Second Knight Order, right?
Of course, there’s no way that this residence could compare to Shien’s home.
Shien thought about it for a moment before nodding.
“Alright, I’ll be intruding for a bit then.”
No matter what, he’s here to ask the other side for a bit of help here, so Shien doesn’t want to act too standoffish either, so he might as well accept the invitation.
“Well then, please.”
Terrance waved his hand the knights and servants immediately neatly stepped aside to open up a path. The servants even laid out a red carpet over this path, which just goes to show how important Terrance considered Shien.
Shien was also a bit moved by all this, but he didn’t hesitate to bring along the disinterested Airi and the emotionless Lasha into the Georgi home.
Beatrice was still obediently letting Lasha lead her along, and she was still looking everywhere while not making any fuss. She really was quite a strange child.
As for Yulin, after she watched Shien and the others enter the Georgi home, she noticed the knights and servants down on the ground looking up at her nervously like they’re afraid of her. Thus, she pouted, flapped her wings, and flew right up into the clouds.
Generally, when there’s no place for her to wait at, Yulin would generally do just like she did now and directly fly up above the clouds to await Shien’s summons. This was the result of Shien’s traning.
Just like that Shien’s group entered the Georgi family home all together and were led to a magnificent parlor.
This seems to be a room specifically intended for welcoming important guests. It was cleaned up to be utterly spotless, but from the somewhat dreary atmosphere, it likely had very little use.
Shien didn’t know it, but this is a place generally used by Terrance to welcome nobles with statuses and ranks higher than himself.
The fact that Shien was led here despite being a viscount just like Terrance is basically a first.
When everyone arrived to the parlor and have all sat down, two relatively well dressed maids immediately came up to serve up expensive, steaming tea.
However, those two maids were instead quietly appraising the emotionless Lasha, and they even had hints of blushes on their faces like they were in front of their crush. It really did make Shien mutter some more in his mind.
(Are all first meetings with maids going to end up like this?)
That’s seriously mysterious.
That Lasha wouldn’t happen to have some kind of unique skill that maxes out the affection level of all maids and servants right away, right?
What kind of skill would that be? Onee-sama Aura? Or is it the Perfect Maid Aura?
Seriously…
Just as Shien was thinking about that, Terrance begun his questioning.
“So then, for what reason might Lord Bayztrot have come by to visit?”
It seems that Terrance really minded this question huh?
“There’s no need for Captain Terrance to be so nervous.” Shien first attempted to calm this seemingly overly nervous knight captain and rubbed at his nose while answering, “I just came by because I wanted to ask if you know of this girl here?”
As Shien said that, Lasha led Beatrice over and presented her before Terrance.
Terrance actually had noticed this little girl some time ago, and he had also started secretly observing her himself.
After all, Shien didn’t have this girl with him when he arrived yesterday, and yet he now brought this little girl with him in his visit today.
Terrance had paid attention to Beatrice for that reason, but he also didn’t dare to do so too obviously. Thus, he only started truly focusing on her now.
With this focus of attention, Terrance discovered that this little girl really did have something unusual about her.
Even though she’s so young, she had no fear of strangers at all. She even stared right back at him. This behavior really was different from that of normal children.
