So after Miss Galina finished her speech, Shard, under the applause, excused himself to the washroom and temporarily left the banquet hall. Megan originally wanted to wait for Shard to return and then take him to meet the Duchess, introducing them to each other in the banquet hall, as even a witch would not make a move. But just as Shard had stepped out, Tifa came over with a smile:
"Miss Green, Duke Galina invites you to speak over there, do you have the time?"
This was an invitation from the Duke, so Megan, of course, could not refuse. Thus, she had to follow this witch apprentice, whom she met in the Council and who possessed the best figure, away from the area where the merchants gathered.
Miss Galina did not return to the resting room; instead, she took a seat at the sofa resting area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the banquet hall, surrounded by a circle of women, including Angelina, as well as other noble ladies and young noblewomen.
