Chapter 40

HAPPY READING

He'd ultimately asked Soobin to follow him but quite frankly, he had no idea what he to do with the child.

Roughly looking over the boy, he could say the boy had grown up well but properly examining the child felt awkward.

"Do you read a lot of books?"

"Yes, I like it so I read a lot."

Jungkook took Soobin to his study. Before this, she'd been the only one allowed access to his study.

As soon as Soobin entered the study, his eyes widened, his mouth fell open and his head swiftly turned left and right.

The huge library in his academy had a lot of books but it wasn't stylish. Owned by an individual, the magnificent scale and superb atmosphere lit up a soft light in the eyes of the fascinated boy.

"Is that place part of the study too?"

Soobin asked, looking at the firmly closed door at the right of the study.

Jungkook's eyes sank. The place where he was able to enter after succession. The place where only the head of the Taran Family could enter. It was a secret room that contained all the truths about the Taran family.

"Don't concern yourself with that one. It's full of garbage."

Jungkook had no plans of passing down that room to Soobin. He would burn and erase all traces of it sometime before Soobin takes over as the master of Taran.

This was what he'd made up his mind to do for a long time. The secrets of Taran would end with him alone.

"You can look around as you please. If you want to read a book, you can come in and read at any time."

"Yes! Thank you."

The boy had been jittery for a while because he wanted to look around so as soon as permission was given, he quickly bolted away and began to look all over the place.

There was warmth in Jungkook's eyes as he watched the boy frantically move from place to place, scouring the study.

Sometime later, Jungkook left the study, leaving the boy alone as the boy had taken out a book from the shelves and was completely engrossed in reading.

When he was about to enter his office, the name 'Lisa' once again crossed his mind. He knit his brows and stood holding the door handle. After a while, he went inside.

From morning, there was a line of carriages heading towards Roam to attend the garden party hosted by the Duchess.

Because the Duchess always held small tea parties and never a ball, this garden party reached many generations.

The age group were diverse, ranging from elderly women to unmarried girls, the attendees were also diverse, composed of well-known people in the northern high society, those who were not well-known, families of vassals and those who were not families of vassals.

Everyone invited today had at least been invited once to one of the Duchess' previous tea parties.

The tea parties of the Duchess were not repetitive exchanges with a small group of people but were distinctively broad meetings with various groups of people.

The evaluation of the Duchess in the high society varied from person to person.

Those who dreamt of a grand and luxurious ball expressed their regrets while influential figures in the established high society favored the non-aggressive manner of the Duchess.
