And just like that, the matter of Hugheska was not brought up again. Graces didn't stay long at Duke Leslie's either, leaving after a short visit to confirm a few things.
After he left, Duke Leslie sighed and said to his butler, "Graces doesn't trust me. He came here specifically to confirm whether I was the one who put Hugheska up to it."
The old butler didn't know how to respond, so he could only stand by with a smile, listening to Duke Leslie ramble on.
"I can understand why he cares so much about Duke Lu Xia, so it's normal for him to not trust me. After all, I certainly didn't dote on him as much as I did Hugheska back in the day. And in the end, that disgraceful bastard Hugheska had to go and make a mess like this."
"You also couldn't have expected Graces to become so successful."
