Chapter 561 Individual Aesthetics 2/2 (1/2)

Rhode followed the female servant into the room and the scene before him made his heart skipped a beat.

Lydia laid languidly on the scarlet velvet sofa by the french window. Her white, silky dress set off her seductive curves as she stretched out her slim, long legs. Her blonde hair hung down lightly, pairing with her fair, delicate skin. She shook the paper in her hand playfully, but no one knew if she was scanning the report or she was just fooling around.

Got to say, any man who encountered such a beautiful young lady when he entered the room would be tempted to pounce on her and Rhode was no exception. He swept a quick glance over her and shifted his attention to her face. Rhode had met Lydia a few times, but he had never seen her dressed appropriately to welcome her guests. Could she be dressed up like this in the castle all these while?

Lydia displayed a smile to welcome Rhode's arrival and gestured for him to take a seat. She adjusted her posture and placed the paper on the table. That's strange. Lydia's movements are drastic, but her dress doesn't slip at all. Could it be that there is censorship even in this world?

”Long time no see. I'm glad that you're looking fine, Baron Rhode… Gaya has a huge opinion about you,” said Lydia.

Rhode twitched his brows as Lydia mentioned Gaya's name as soon as she spoke. He knew that it was impossible that Lydia didn't understand his thoughts, but… Maybe things aren't as bad as I thought? If that's the case, this may turn out to be something better. Rhode gazed at Lydia silently and waited for her to continue. ”I've heard the specific report from Gaya. Lize did well this time and to be honest, although I knew that Lize has potential, I'm surprised that she managed to take it that far. Of course. My adorable younger sister didn't perform perfectly, but she's worth the praise. Isn't that right, Baron Rhode?”

”Of course, Your Highness,” Rhode said. ”Lize's performance has impressed me. It wasn't easy for her to achieve this result, considering her situation.”

”That's right… Baron Rhode. I'm glad that I've handed her to your care. But…” Lydia narrowed her eyes. Although she was still smiling, Rhode felt an unprecedented pressure. ”Baron Rhode, I don't wish to see my adorable younger sister getting hurt, do you understand? We can't avoid the fact that wars are cruel. She has her choice, but I don't wish to see her sink into depravity due to the wars. I simply want her to live a blissful life. You do understand what I mean, right?”

”That's for sure, Your Highness,” Rhode nodded slightly in agreement.

Lydia smiled with satisfaction and she picked up the sheet of paper from the table. Then, she withdrew her gracious smile. ”Alright then. Explain to me the situation in the Grosso and Fiat regions, Baron Rhode.”

This question is finally here.
