Meeting The Baron

Before Lucius could dwell further on the attitude of Baron Hugh's wife, he was quickly greeted by the baron's son and daughter.

"A pleasure to meet you, Lord Asher Inanis." Benjamin smiled. "I hope that we can get along."

"It is good to be of your acquaintanceship, as well." Lily curtsied shyly.

"Likewise." Lucius nodded and gave his own smile.

Luckily for him, before the two could speak further, they were interrupted by the arrival of John, Alessa, Kiana and baby Cia.

"May we also introduce to you our guests for tonight's banquet? This is John and Alessa along with their child, Cia." Countess Lita said as she gestured with an elegant smile.

"Greetings, Baron Hugh." The two bowed respectfully.

"Oh, what a lovely couple and what a healthy-looking child!" Baron Hugh greeted them warmly and then glanced in his wife's direction. "You two remind me of when I first had Benjamin, isn't that right? What a cute child."
