Today there's supposed to be a guest.
The staff whisper to themselves.
I ask him about it.
"A trade partner." He answers. "Nothing of importance".
If it is only a business partner. Why does he seem on the edge?
I can see the look in his eyes. Worry and something else.
Tanaka enters and informs us that the guest is here.
The count stands up and follows him out the door.
I carefully tiptop behind them. I don't think I'm supposed to follow. But I do.
At the foyer stands a man. A few years older than the count.
His blonde hair and blue eyes stare at me.
As if he can see me hiding in the shadows.
He smirks and turns to the count.
And they walk towards the study.
