When Shard arrived, the blonde lady on the sofa lazily greeted him.
"You look tired?"
"Yes, the city council cannot lack the Belindel Family. We enjoy the rights, but we also have obligations... Will you stay for dinner?"
"What?"
At the moment, the look she gave him was indescribable. Shard wanted to say he had just eaten, but somehow he nodded:
"Alright, thank you for the invitation."
Thus, twenty minutes later, Shard found himself in the dining room of the Belindel Estate, meeting Lady Belindel—the Witch's mother—and Miss Belindel's two younger sisters and a cousin, who also lived there.
According to Miss Belindel, they were unaware of her identity as a Witch. Regarding their daughter/sister's aversion to men, they simply believed that Bella Belindel had a peculiar fondness for pretty girls.
Therefore, when a strange man appeared at the dinner table tonight and was even allowed to sit on the right side of the Countess, the Belindel family showed immense surprise.
