{"I am changing the ages, so Rie is 12 years old Eryk is 15 years and Luis is 17 years old"}
-------------

The next day Rie did not bother the two lads and lazed around in her room knowing that they are going to query about the living conditions and lifestyle of the villagers so far, also investigating the haunted places and Old Waller's death place.

When they came back it was already noon. Luis prepared their carriage and they were off to meet the Marquis.

When they reached the city by dusk, they booked an inn to reside. The Marquis prepared an expensive carriage for the Prince and sent over to receive him on the day of the banquet.

Rie: "This carriage is pretty"
Eryk: "Do you like it?"
Rie: "Not much. I like my brother's carriage which the King gave him"
Eryk: "Is it so..?"
She nodded her head.

She was wearing a sky-blue Victorian dress with her hair tied in two ponytails with matching ribbon.
Eryk wore a white silk shirt with an opaque blue vest and a matching tailcoat.
When they arrived, Marquis William and his son were already waiting out to welcome them.
"Welcome your Highness, Prince Stefan" then his eyes shifted to Rie, "And this young miss here is-?"
"Riana Rhys greets Marquis William and Knight Wilson", she greeted them with perfect etiquette.
"Rhys? Are you, young Duke Adrian Rhys' sister?" Knight Wilson asked casually to which she just nodded lightly.
-----------------------------------

The event continued all the way till the dusk when the females left to a separate area and the men continued the drinking binge.

Rie: "System, where is Lydia?"
[When you meet her you will automatically know it]
Rie: "how boring."

While she was busy eating the dainties like a kid, and infrequently saw and examined the ladies over here. Then she saw a sickly beauty around the same age, at the farthest corner with a very simple yellow dress.
"System to my 10 o'clock the yellow dressed girl, who is she?" Rie asked in a serious tone.
[She is the daughter of Marquis Williams late wife Amber Justice. Age: 13 years old. At the age of 5, her mother died and left her elder brother Charles Justice with her. They took after their mother's last name.]

Hmm, looks like this miss is not as simple as she seems.
[Why do you say so, host?]
"How do you think they both have survived so far?
The Marquis immediately married a mistress after his wife's death in the name of his kids along with extra pair of brother and sister, Wilson and his sister is-"before she could complete she heard the Marquises call out, "This is my daughter Lydia Adams, and is now 15 years old."
Rie saw a brown-haired girl identical to the woman beside her, was dressed in white and light pink dress looking lovely as a gentle perianth.

"System, how come Lydia became Lydia Adams? Wasn't she from the baron household?" Hearing to her surprised expression, the system calmly answered, [Host, the Barron is the current Marquises home.]

Gnashing her teeth she realized how the secret information in the plot was spread so fast. It's because the Marquis was already controlled by this mistress and the baron was already on the evil uncle's side.
Looks like we can no longer collaborate with the William but that doesn't mean there is no one else to help.
Sensing the familiar mischievous smile on its host, the system trembled. Who knows which poor soul will be conned by her now?

She went to greet the Marquises and went out for fresh air waiting for Lydia to come out.
[Are we going to follow her host?]
"No, not 'we' but you" after saying this she cut off with the system and then waited for a yellow clothed girl to walk by.
Without looking at that direction she said in a small voice, "Feather Bone Essence" but this was clearly heard by the person in yellow that stopped mud way and turned to walk towards Rie.
