Shortly after my cold had completely cleared, a huge amount of gifts arrived at Monstera Castle.

"What is all this..."

I stared at the pile of gifts piled up in the entrance hall with a blank face.

What's more striking is that there is an endless stream of gifts.

"As expected of the Duchess of Urquio. The reward is big."

May, who was next to me, murmured in an admiring voice. I was no different from her reaction either.

That's too much! Too much! How can I bring all this in?

I pointed at the middle of my forehead as the volume of the pile increased.

Strictly speaking, Cassis did put me in danger, and it was true that I survived because of my divine power.

But that's a hidden story.

Externally, she could have blamed Count Monstera for hurting her son because it was just a sudden attack.

I can't believe you thanked me for such a thing.

I couldn't show my bewilderment here, so I just stared at the presents.

"Paul..."

I called Paul, who was beside me, looking at the pile of gifts warmly. Then Paul said.

"I'm happy to be able to repay you like this."

"Don't be happy... There's no place to put all that stuff."

"Oh, if you're worried about that, I'll inform Urquio Castle separately. Maybe they'll make a warehouse for you..."

"No! Don't! Come to think of it, there's plenty of room."

"Oh, is that so?"

Paul smacked his lips with regret.

I wonder who came from Urquio Castle. Since Paul didn't know how to do it properly.

At the end of the gift procession, the man carrying the gift from Urquio Castle politely bowed.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Gilbert."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Evelyn Monstera."

Gilbert bowed his head again as I smiled brightly and introduced myself.

After a while he looked around and asked, looking for someone.

"Is the Countess not here?"

"Oh, she's away for a while because of a social gathering. I wish you could have contacted her in advance."

"Oh, I didn't think of that. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I'm the owner of this house when my parents aren't here."

Gilbert smiled lightly as I answered.

"Then shall I pass on the gift list to the young lady?"

"Oh, give it to me. I'll give it to the Countess when she comes."

"Here it is."

When asked by Gilbert, butler Thomas came forward, Gilbert handed over the document to Thomas.

I stared at Gilbert.

Gilbert had a very different vibe from Paul. With slightly sharp-looking eyes, I felt distanced by the stiffness of his attitude.

I think he is the type that's hard to approach.

Moreover, the uniform he was wearing seemed like he had quite a high position in Urquio Castle, given its splendor.
