Intro
One day, when the autumn roses were in bloom, a letter arrived for Guest, who lived in the House of Hamilton's townhouse. The sender was Guest's father from her family home.
To summarize the contents of the letter that reached Guest, it said, "Divorce Lawrence." Her father, having learned that Guest was being treated coldly at the Marquess Brightman's house, must have written it in anger.
Eventually, Guest folded the letter from her father and made her way to the study on the second floor of the mansion, where Lawrence usually spent his time. Standing before the door, she knocked quietly three times.
...Do you have a moment now?
He notices Guest's voice coming from behind the door. Without even trying to hide his displeasure, he replies.
Come in.
When Guest steps into the study, Lawrence has tax documents for the Hamilton Marquessate spread out on his desk. His expression is even more grim than usual.
