Leon looked at Marvin with a bit of interest, then Marvin became more excited and began to recite what he saw.
“He went in, and the Spielplatz staff saw him off very politely. You know, right? Even the people who work there are arrogant.”
“Do I?”
He had been there many times, but Leon smoothed his chin with an expression like he wasn’t sure. Marvin shook his head as if he was a little tired of the expression.
“Ah, yes. You’re going to be bored. Are you also a Grand Duke?”
Even with sarcastic remarks, Leon calmly sipped at the tea. Marvin gave up his reaction and kept talking.
“I was just sitting alone at the bar to soothe the pain of parting with Miss Stephanie.”
“Didn’t you go out to meet a new girl?”
“No… The story is a bit… But I was bored and sat at the poker table.”
As the story gradually grew, Leon spoke with an annoyed face.
“Just get to the point.”
“Oh, okay. But someone came out from the VIP room. Tall from far away… Anyway, he came out with a blonde woman, and the woman was anxious to please him…”
“So, who was that?”
“Oh, yeah. He said Count Felice, who was titled recently. Why, you know him. The Duke of Hamilton has a son-in-law.”
Leon put down the teacup and leaned back into the sofa.
How long has he been married?
“I know! He was not there just to have fun like me!”
Leon snorted lightly, acting as if it wasn’t his business as Marvin became excited and feverish.
“What’s the difference between you and him?”
“I… I don’t pay for that! It hurts my pride! It’s not fun. I believe that even if I spend just one day, I have to do it with someone I can relate to…”
As Leon seemed to be gradually losing interest, Marvin progressed the story faster.
“Anyway, the money I bet on the poker board was huge. And the fact that a person with the Count title just got treated like that means that he gave a lot.”
When Leon was just watching without much reaction, Marvin asked as if he was frustrated.
“Look, Count Felice, who died, was not very rich. But where did his son get so much money?
“…The son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton, so they must have given him some money.”
“That may be true, but can he freely spend the money given by his father-in-law in such a place? It really smells fishy.”
Marvin widened his eyes interestingly, and Leon got up from his seat after thinking for a moment about what he said.
“That’s all you have to say?”
“Huh?”
“Would that be all? I’m busy, unlike someone unemployed. If you don’t have anything else to do, leave. Well, it’s dinner time, so you can eat downstairs.”
Leon shook his hand and sat back in front of the desk.
“Aren’t you curious about that? Where did he get that much money?”
“If you’re so curious, why don’t you find out yourself?”
“That’s what I’m saying…”
Marvin, who was trying to protest Leon’s blunt answer, quickly accepted it.
“There’s nothing impossible. Phew, I wasn’t going to go today, but I’d have to. Here we go!”

Leon added a comment to Marvin, who was only talking about what he had to do.
“If you find out, come and tell me.”
“Well? I’ll see.”
As he opened the door suddenly, Daniel, an aide, was standing there.
“Ah! Were you in there?”
“Oh, okay. Daniel, I’m on my way out now. Work hard!”
Daniel gently walked in with a silent bow and closed the door.
“You’ve been motionless for a while, and you’ve been here for a long time.”
“Don’t let such lazy nobles corrode the country.”
Daniel stood still, unable to sympathize or refute his friend’s harsh assessment. Leon, who was flipping through the documents, silently opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered.
“Do you know about the son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton?”
“The son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton, Rian… Felice? Oh, he was given the title at a banquet a while ago.”
“Not that.”
Without quickly grasping the intention behind his superior’s question, he thought for a moment, and began to give out the information he knew.
“Well, he was originally a person who could not be titled. Even if he received something with merit, he would have only been a baron, at best, a Viscount.”
“Why?”
“He is the illegitimate child of the former Count Felice. He’s not the child of Madam Felice or anything, but it’s said he was a child born from a woman who spent the night with the Count.”
“You know the details.”
“Yes, of course. To serve your Highness, this much information is…”
“Keep going.”
Leon put down the documents he was looking at and stared at Daniel. Slightly tense as he met his gaze, Daniel quickly shook his head.
“But his young wife is still alive, and I don’t know why, but his predecessor Count Felice still hadn’t appointed him as his successor. Anyway, the Count and Madam also died one day.”
“At the same time? What was the cause?”
“There was a report of a servant who said they went to bed and were dead the next morning. That… those who know about it are also missing, so there is no proper record.”
“Interesting.”
Leon crossed his arms and shook his head. In fact, there was no evidence, but the situation was a strange coincidence. And he couldn’t tell why, but the name ‘Rian’ made him feel somewhat uneasy. He was about to remember…
Daniel sneakily asked a question, reading the air.
“….Shall we find out more? Are you curious?”
Leon didn’t say much, but Daniel roughly understood.
“I’ll find out quietly. He’s not that important yet, but he’s the son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton, so he’ll soon take on an important role.”

Leon nodded lightly and got up from his seat.
“It’s mealtime. I’m going to go back now.”
“Yes, I see.”
After leaving the office, he headed to his bedroom which he shared with Dana.
