The doctor from First Street and Milliaon soon arrived at Leopold's house.

"Hah," Milliaon says the moment he sees his brother. "While I enjoy seeing you destroying and flipping things over, please don't do it in someone else's house."

"But I didn't do it."

"Who then?"

"That quack doctor," he says, pointing at Nocturn.

The doctor who arrived at the Leopold estate was surprised to see Nocturn.

"Master..."

"Nocturn."

"I suppose they are acquainted, but in any case, hello, doc! Can you look at Noona?" the boy inquired.

"Greetings to Young Lord Pestellio, I did not realize you were him; I formally greet you, My Excellency, Young Lord."

"My name is Milliaon Pestellio, and you are the doctor who made those medicines for my brother. Thank you very much; he is flaring much better than before."

"I am simply doing my job, Your Excellency, and I am grateful to be of assistance to the Young Lord." He looked at the young boy and asked, "Who should I look after, My Lord?"

"It is noona!" He drew the doctor and led him to Karina's room. The Leopolds followed suit, but it appears that they are unfamiliar with Karina's room.

"What—" Milliaon could not help but swallow all his curses. The room was desolate and monotonous, with few belongings that belonged to a noble lady. They are all out of date and inappropriate for her age.

"I can see why you are flipping things around here," Milliaon said to Karina. Karina smiled at him as if to tell him she was fine.

"Did you get upset?"

"I did. But I'm fine."

"You're always fine. Come here." Milliaon sat on the couch and checked on his brother. It seems that he's really fine. "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"I'm not weak."

"You are."

Alioune pouted and glared at the Count and Countess.

"It seems neglect is the norm for this family." Milliaon spoke, "Count Leopold."

"Yes?"

"I will take her Ladyship back to the Mansion; she will learn more there than in this dingy room."

Karina was about to say something, but Milliaon appeared to be angry right now. He came here after hearing what happened here from the knight to see if it was true. He comes to see his brother first and foremost, but he can not let Lady Karina stay here when everyone knows what is going on.

"The Pestellio will take good care of her rather than allow her to suffer at the hands of a quack doctor like this," Milliaon said with a smile, "and I will be taking my bride back to the North as well, so she does not interfere with your family bonding, Count Leopold."

Everyone was taken aback when he issued that order. Duke Pestellio has never been particularly fond of women. Everyone was surprised that he had taken the initiative to protect the lady.

"Doctor Wynston."

"Yes, Your Excellency?"

"Please come to the Pestellio Mansion; I would appreciate it if you could continue to look after my younger brother and Lady Karina; rest assured, I will compensate you."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Milliaon looked at Alioune.

"Do you want to get down?" he side-eyed his brother, smiling innocently at him.
