Calming himself, he then walked over to the group while occasionally glancing at the entrance.
As she took the teapot to refill the empty cup on the table, one of the women who wore thick makeup — like the others — said, “You know, you look very handsome up close! Still, you're not my cup of tea! Only Queena would fall in love with someone like you!”
"Oh? Can you really be a pretty Queena boy?” ask another woman.
“Huh! It was as if someone like him would be qualified to be hers!” the third woman replied with some disdain.
After saying that, the women seemed to lose interest in him and they quickly found themselves continuing their previous topic of conversation.
“By the way, I'm so happy now! Ha ha! Finally, someone finally blamed me!” said another woman from the group who looked a little older than Gerald.
"Oh? What kind of mistake, Freya?” ask one of his friends.
“Only a few incidents that may not be among you are aware of it. In fact, I think it is okay for me to tell you about it now! You know, the Yonwick family always had a secret deal with the young master of Sacred Magic!”
“... Deal?” ask the women who are becoming more curious.
"Indeed! You see, according to the agreement, more than ten beautiful women should be sent to the young master every year. As you might have guessed, some of them are also from the Yonwick family!” answer Freya.
"What's? You didn't pull our legs, did you?”
“Is there a reason for me to do that? Anyway, my father told me a while ago that I was originally one of the beautiful women chosen to send to him! However, since the beauty of the Fenderson family came around three months ago, my father betrayed her just to protect me!” obviously Freya while laughing.
“Really unexpected..Thinking that the young master was actually such a person! It's even hard to imagine!”
“Well, I myself heard rumors about this a few years ago, so I will not call it an undisclosed secret.” muttered one of his friends.
"Oh? Well, I'm sure you haven't heard what I'm going to tell you! It was something my father hid from my family! I'm pretty sure that I'm the only other Yonwick who knows about this!” freya whispered in a slightly sad tone.
"What are you all talking about, cousin?" queena asked as she led some rich young heirs from the door. As the newcomers smiled at the people from the initial group, Queena took the opportunity to wave at Gerald while greeting him.
“You interrupted Freya just as she was about to share some secrets with us! Come and sit with us! Quickly quickly!"
“Consecration?”
"Yes! You see, an incident happened this afternoon..You all know Layton, right? My brother who is not able? Well, something happened to him! However, before I continue, do you all know who Master Moldell is?” ask Freya.
“But of course we know!”
It was no surprise to them that Freya called her sister 'unable'. After all, the people from the Yonwick family were well aware that he did not have a good relationship with Layton.
This is largely due to the fact that Layton is the only male descendant in the family. As a result, Linus adores Layton very much and tends to pamper him. With Freya, Linus usually just acts cold to her, which explains his dissatisfaction with Layton.
"That's great. Furthermore, I had previously seen Mr. Moldell and my younger brother being taken to the manor from the back door… It was a mere coincidence that I saw them back then because I was planning to sneak out the back door for fun!”
“Oh, shit! How's Layton hurt? In fact, the more important question was how could Master Moldell be injured? We've all seen his incredible skills before! Thinking that someone would actually manage to defeat him on Montholm Island!”
Everyone clearly felt that the news was hard to believe. Some of the youths even exchanged a frightened look as Freya continued whispering, “Although I am not too sure about the details of what actually happened, after eavesdropping on my father as he spoke to some of his subordinates, he said, I heard the name, 'Master. Crawford's mentioned. Apparently that person has a very strong background!”
