Before departing for Caritas, Baroness Weilmar had expected to meet an adult man. However, reality shocked her when she found herself facing a young man who seemed no older than his twenties. He had handsome black hair and wore noble attire that exuded strong charisma, making those who saw him instinctively feel respect for him.
Aldrian looked directly at the baroness and offered a slight smile.
"What an unexpected visit from an esteemed guest. Welcome to Caritas, Baroness Weilmar," he said, extending his hand.
The baroness snapped out of her shock upon hearing Aldrian's words.
"Ah, yes, my apologies for coming without prior notice. My circumstances required me to act quickly, so I hope Your Excellency understands," Baroness Weilmar said as she accepted Aldrian's handshake.
They sat on the sofa, facing each other, while her guardian knight stood behind her, keeping watch. A maid served Aldrian another cup of tea as he turned his gaze toward the baroness.
