She scolded him after hearing her grandson calling for her once more.

�I am currently speaking as the matriarch. Make sure to use the proper title.�

��Yes, matriarch-nim.�

Antonio realized that she had made her decision based on her stern actions. Sonata never changed her mind when she acted like this.

As such, he just quietly watched his grandmother approach Cale. He felt pained because he knew that his grandmother blamed herself for this incident.

However, he gasped after hearing what she said to Cale. It was because he realized that the Duchess was still strong.

�Do you know who the best drinker in this household is?�

Cale became anxious.

He had expected them to lock the gates, however, the Duchess had personally shown up to announce their seclusion and that she was stepping down from the position of Duchess and passing the title onto her grandson.

And why was she suddenly talking about drinking?

Cale did not know the answer and responded as such.

��I am not sure.�

Sonata�s wrinkled face started to smile.

�Me.�

��Excuse me?�

�I am the best drinker. Let�s drink together next time.�

Billos was amazed by her statement.

Duchess Sonata was known for not meeting with many people outside of during official settings. It was because she could not trust many people. Such a person was talking about sharing a meal with someone without power nor influence.

�Just what did the young master-nim do this time?!�

Duchess Gyerre and Cale, who should be bitter enemies, seemed to be so friendly with each other. Billos looked toward Cale with reverence while Cale did not like how things were progressing.

�Why is the Duchess acting like this?�

Cale had no desire to share a meal with any of the Gyerres.

Cale put on a respectful and gentle smile before responding to the Duchess.

�I will bring some great alcohol with me should we be fated to meet again.� JrNovels.com
