Visiting nobles (15)

This time, Viscount Henry and his wife were shocked when they heard this.

Viscount Henry immediately knitted his brows and looked carefully at me, as if he was trying to gauge me.

It was as if he was trying to figure out just what my intentions were when I asked this question. It was as if he wanted to see if I had any ill intentions asking him this.

What he mainly cared about was if I was setting a trap for him by asking this.

However, I just looked right back at Viscount Henry with a calm look on my face as if I wasn't bothered by this at all.

After a long silence, he finally said, "We are at odds sometimes, but that's to be expected from nobles that border each other."

This answer…was very safe, but it was not the answer that I was looking for.

Viscount Henry also knew that since he could see the look on my face.

However, it wasn't as if he could say anything else.
