"At tonight's banquet, besides the local nobles, I will also introduce you to several grand nobles from Tobesk City, including the Duchess of Saradiel. You know her, right? She is said to be the fairest rose of the Cavendish Royalty, the noblewoman who haunts the dreams of countless men and women, the Guardian of the Southern Border, and His Majesty the King's aunt."
"Yes, yes, I've heard a bit about her... don't worry, I've received very thorough training in noble etiquette, I won't make a fool of myself."
Shard felt a pang of guilt but couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Was it another girl you know who trained you?"
