Chapter 67: Chapter 65: Tea Party

“Chris, would you like to join me at the gathering? Your sister won’t mind, will she?”

Outside the Fischer family’s home, Margaret in the carriage furrowed her brows and asked Chris.

“She won’t.”

Chris silently shook his head and then said no more.

If it were someone else, Margaret might think they were angry or disrespecting her, but everyone understood Chris’s situation.

He really was a child who was not fond of talking.

Margaret didn’t quite like Byrne’s arrangement; it was normal for her to have to speak with him each time they went to a gathering, but having to carry that piece of paper and bring a guard made her feel like Byrne didn’t respect Lady Isaac.

Lately, she always felt that Byrne was becoming increasingly domineering; the gentle man he used to be clearly wasn’t like this.

The carriage slowly headed towards the Isaac knight family’s estate in Nasir Town.

Fog enveloped the streets of Nasir, the world was serene, almost isolated from the outside, and the two people in the carriage gradually could no longer hear the noise outside, only the wheels’ repetitive, rhythmic sound echoing in their ears.

“We’re here, Lady Margaret, Young Master Chris.”

The coachman’s voice rang out from outside, and inside the carriage Margaret said, “You’ve worked hard; Chris and I will still come out at the old time.”

The two who alighted from the carriage, along with a female guard, made their way to the Isaac family’s manor.

In the quiet manor, a peaceful and pleasant scenery indulged the senses, and as they entered the main gate, they were greeted by a stone path lined with flowerbeds brimming with blossoms of all colors.

The pair followed the path deeper in, where a verdant green space unfolded before them, a vast lawn as smooth as a green carpet, its visibility reduced in the fog, the only slight imperfection in an otherwise perfect view.

The Isaac knight family was one of the oldest among the knight clans in Nasir, their ancestors having already been knights back when the Cyart people were still the Flame Tribe.

Lady Isaac had already appeared with several servants from the residence.

Chris was seeing Lady Isaac for the first time, a female Bloodline Knight and also the head of the Isaac family.

She appeared to be just over fifty years old, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, loose skin, and very high cheekbones that gave her a stern look, with wisdom and strength still sparkling in those deep-set eyes.

“Good day, Margaret.”

Lady Isaac nodded slightly, her tone serious.

“Good day, Lady Isaac. Today I’ve brought a child who also wishes to hear the teachings of the Moon.”

Margaret responded with a smile, clearly very close to Lady Isaac.

Having married from Fein City to the remote Nasir Town, she hadn’t made many friends and felt increasingly solitary; Lady Isaac’s gatherings gave Margaret a lot of emotional value.

Lady Isaac then looked towards Chris, nodding calmly and solemnly.

“Chris, you’re Madam Irene’s brother, aren’t you? I’ve heard of you. Indeed, you are as beautiful as the rumors say…”

She spoke with a slight frown as if complimenting someone was a difficult task.

Chris actually didn’t like being praised for his looks, but he said nothing.

“Chris is indeed a handsome boy. His sister, Madam Irene, is also a beautiful woman. The Fischer family’s bloodline has always been good in terms of appearance,” Margaret said with a smile. In truth, everyone in the Fischer family was full of charm, and the current low point in looks within the family was her overweight son, Darren.

However, Margaret didn’t think her son being overweight was an issue, and she was convinced that her son would grow up to be a handsome and attractive man.

Lady Isaac nodded and continued, “As I’ve told you, I’ve met Madam Irene a few times. She healed a hidden ailment in my leg, and the girl’s temperament left a deep impression on me.”

“Let’s go; we don’t want to keep the others waiting. Let’s join the gathering,” she urged.

She and Chris followed Lady Isaac to the residence and all the way into the drawing room.
