Chapter: 281

“Do you mean the commander of the Lanberg Knights?”

“Yes, he is a friend of mine. We have been best friends since childhood.”

“Is that so?”

A young man with silver hair and light blue eyes came to mind.

He was polite and had a good impression, but when Astelle heard that he and Vellian were friends, her liking was reduced to half.

The Marquis, who had been listening quietly, intervened in curiosity.

“If he is the same age as you, then he must be young. Is he already a knight commander?”

“Yes, he is very talented.”

Vellian said proudly and added a small addition at the end.

“Well……it does make sense since his father is the minister of the military, Count Ecklen.”

“Who?”

“Count Gerald von Ecklen. He is Sir Seibel’s adoptive father.”

When Astelle heard the name, something came to mind.

“Oh, yes. Sir Seibel’s father asked him to send regards to Grandpa. I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you.”

There were so many things that happened after the ball that Astelle had completely forgotten about it.

Astelle was a little startled to see her grandfather sitting there with a bemused look.

“Grandpa?”

“Gerald Ecklen became the minister of the military?”

“Yes, do you know him?”

After hearing Vellian’s question, he regained his senses with a little startling.

“Ah, well… we used to know each other. He used to be my lieutenant.”

“Is that true? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

The Marquis still seemed to be thinking of something.

Astelle was struck by her grandfather’s strange reaction.

‘What happened?’
