Chapter 224: Chapter 224

“A visitor is here to see you, my lady.”

“Guest? Who?”

“She is Lady Jena.”

I frowned to hear that.

Why is Jiun here? Is it because of what happened at the meeting yesterday?

Granted that, why did she come here without any notice?

After she returned, I initially felt she was more cultured than before, but she was not.

Given her behavior at the recent title succession ceremony at the Mirwa family’s house and her abrupt visit today, she was rude.

As I was about to stand up in a bit of an annoying mood, I sat down again, smiling at him.

“Well, butler, it would be polite for me to come straight down there as I have the guest here, but I’m so busy right now. I’m afraid I can’t see her right now.”

“Oh, I see. You seem to be very busy in my eyes. You’ve got too much work on your plate.”

“Yes, I do.” When I replied with a big smile, a smile came on the blunt butler’s face.

He and I laughed happily, looking at my clean desk without any paperwork to handle at the moment. He was quick-witted enough to grasp my intention.

“Tell a maid to convey her a message that I’ll be coming down soon. In the meantime, butler, why don’t you play chess with me? Strangely enough, I would like to play chess, starting yesterday. ”

“It’s a good idea, my lady.”

Isn’t it polite to respond to someone’s rudeness with the same rudeness?

I stood up from my seat only after winning three times in a row. I giggled in spite of myself.

By now, she must be very much annoyed.

After laying down the queen next to the white king standing alone, I touched the crown-shaped tiara on the queen’s head and headed to the parlor.

“I see you often these days, Lady Jena. Didn’t I see you only ten days ago? ”

“… You must have been very busy, Lady Monique.”

“Yes. As you know, I have a lot of work to do all the time.”

After instructing the knights nervously pacing up and down the parlor to stay away, I looked at her again after confirming that the parlor door was closed.

Jiun stopped smiling at me out of courtesy and said, raising her eyebrows, “You kept me waiting on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Do you think I’m so free and leisurely? It’s a bad habit to apply your own standard to others arbitrarily. ”

“Are you kidding me?”

“You had better be more careful. You seem to be mistaken. You’re now in my house.

I knew you were very clumsy in showing due manners, but your words and deeds these days really make me feel displeased.”

“I am not here to argue with you over trifling things. And I don’t want to talk with you for a long time. Let me get to the point. What did you do to me?”

“What did I do to you? Dang it, you really don’t understand what I said to you. I’m very annoyed by the way you speak to me. Got it?”

Given that she, who was so hostile to me, came to visit me in person, it was evident that she came here on urgent business. I wondered why she came, but the more I dragged my feet, the more impatient she would be. So, it would be definitely better for me to stall time as much as possible.
