The Duke of Blair visited Jungkook's private mansion about an hour before Lalisa arrived.

His daughter, Cornelia, was standing beside him.

"I didn't expect your daughter to come with you."

Despite the numbness in his voice, Jungkook's eyes showed signs of annoyance.

Duke Blair has been requesting a face-to-face meeting since the founding festival.

Since he expressed his willingness to visit the Grand Duchy in person, Jungkook had no reason to refuse and accepted the request without hesitation, but he didn't know Duke Blair would come with his daughter.

"I have come to see Your Highness once more. It seems that you misunderstood me on the day of the banquet."

Cornelia smiled lightly. After seeing that serpentine smile, the memory of running into that woman on the terrace on the day of the banquet came vaguely to Jungkook's mind.

This made him feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, he understood why the father and daughter visited him.

"Let's sit down first."

Jungkook, who had been staring at them, nodded and led them to their seats.

As soon as they were seated, the Duke of Blair opened his mouth with a respectful smile.

"Marquis Elody must be on fire by now. I don't know how he knew I was coming here, but he went on a mad rampage."

Marquis Elody was a savvy man, pacing from place to place and gathering information. So he was well informed about the Duke of Blair's business.

"It's easier to deal with it if you know it in advance."

Jungkook narrowed his brows dourly. He pictured the Marquis rushing to the Emperor to report the situation.

It was supposed to offend the Emperor if the Grand Duke was in contact with another family with an evil heart.

"Well, by the way. I heard from my daughter the other day that Your Highness is already thinking about divorce."

Duke Blair's condescending words brought back another memory of the day of the banquet to Jungkook's mind, when he was annoyed by Lalisa's constant approach.

"Do you think this marriage will last forever?"

Remembering that moment, Jungkook, who was somehow in a depressed mood, looked at Duke Blair and answered in a cold voice.

"Your daughter seems to have a light mouth. I didn't expect she would pass on the dialogue she overheard."
