SINCE HER GRACE, THE GRAND DUCHESS, THREW A CHARITY PARTY FOR THE FOG VICTIMS... ...OF COURSE I HAD TO ATTEND. BY THE WAY, I HEARD SUPERINTENDENT PEJIN WOULD BE ATTENDING AS WELL... BUT I DON'T SEE HIM ANYWHERE. THAT RASCAL, PERHAPS HE FORGOT THIS IS A PARTY HOSTED BY HIS SISTER-IN-LAW. THEY SAY HE HASN'T ARRIVED YET. OH MY, MY~ THE YOUNG LADIES OF THE GRAND DUCHY MUST BE EAGERLY WAITING FOR SUPERINTENDENT PEJIN TO ARRIVE. THEY MUST BE BURNING WITH ANXIETY SINCE HE'S SO LATE. EXCUSE ME, YOUR GRACE. I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU... SUPERINTENDENT PEJIN IS CURRENTLY HEADING TO THE BANQUET HALL... ...WITH LUNOS... THEN, I WILL INTRODUCE OUR NEXT GUESTS. SUPERINTENDENT PEJIN DIEUS. SIR PEJIN IS HERE? KYAA~ OHH, FINALLY..! ...AND... ...MISS APRIL AVA LUNOS. ?! ENTERING NOW! LUNOS? YOU MEAN THE LUNOS WE ALL KNOW? WASN'T SHE SUPPOSED TO BE FACING A WITCH TRIAL? TO THINK A SUSPECT IN THE FOG MURDERS WOULD DARE SHOW UP AT A PARTY... WHAT IF SHE CAUSES A SCENE? BY THE WAY, WHY ARE THOSE TWO ARRIVING TOGETHER? SUPERINTENDENT PEJIN IS A POLICE OFFICER, ISN'T HE? HE MUST BE ESCORTING HER TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER. THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE GOSSIPING ABOUT APRIL... ...WERE EVEN BUSIER THAN THEIR MOUTHS, FOLLOWING HER DRESS. INSTEAD OF THE IMPERIAL-STYLE DRESSES POPULAR AMONG THE NOBLES OF THE GRAND DUCHY... ...APRIL CAME WEARING AN OLD DRESS OF HER MOTHER'S, A STYLE THAT HAD GONE OUT OF FASHION OVER 7 YEARS AGO. THEY TRIED TO CRITICIZE IT AS TACKY, BUT THEY COULDN'T BRING THEMSELVES TO SPEAK. INSTEAD, THEY ALL SHARED A STRANGE EXPERIENCE... ...OF FEELING A FAMILIAR SENSE OF NOSTALGIA. WHEN I WAS THROWN INTO THE MUD... ...YOU ALL BRANDED ME A WITCH AND THREATENED ME... ...BUT NOW THAT I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU... ...YOU'RE ALL ON HIGH ALERT BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP ME. I LACKED THE CONFIDENCE TO FACE... ...GRAND DUKE MILLER DIEUS AND GRAND DUCHESS HEIDI DIEUS. TO THINK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THESE COWARDS MIGHT DO... IF THAT'S THE CASE, I DON'T NEED TO HESITATE ABOUT FACING YOU, EITHER. LET'S GO TO THAT EMPTY TABLE OVER THERE... UGH.. HEY, APRIL..! WHERE ARE YOU GOING...?! MAKING AN ENTRANCE AT THE VERY END AS IF YOU'RE THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE BANQUET. YOU'RE TOO LATE. PEJIN. I WAS A LITTLE LATE BECAUSE I WAS ESCORTING MY PARTNER. SHOULDN'T YOU, AS THE HOST, COME AND GREET YOUR GUESTS WHEN THEY ARRIVE? WHAT GUESTS...? HE'S DELIBERATELY PRETENDING NOT TO BE CONSCIOUS OF ME. WE ARE FINALLY MEETING AGAIN AFTER 7 YEARS... Heidi, Want Some More? I WAS WORRIED THAT IF, BY CHANCE, YOU FELT GUILTY TOWARDS ME... ...MY FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT TOWARDS YOU MIGHT WEAKEN. BUT YOU'RE JUST AS TERRIBLY SELFISH AND NARCISSISTIC... ...AS YOU WERE BACK THEN. I ACTUALLY FEEL GRATEFUL FOR THAT. TO THINK HOUSE DIEUS WOULD BECOME SUCH A MESS IN 7 YEARS. HAS THE HOST OF THE BANQUET FORGOTTEN THAT THEY NEED TO WELCOME... ...THEIR INVITED GUESTS? HOUSE LUNOS ATTENDED A PARTY HOSTED BY HOUSE DIEUS. HOW DARE YOU! APRIL, IT WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU TO LEAVE NICELY WHEN I ASK YOU TO. OTHERWISE... WHO KNOWS? MY HOUSE ARREST ENDED A LONG TIME AGO, AND I'M A LEGITIMATELY INVITED GUEST. COULD YOU FORCEFULLY KICK ME OUT WHILE SAVING FACE? YOU CAN'T DO THAT. BECAUSE YOU WANT TO REMAIN A GOOD PERSON TO THOSE AROUND YOU. YOU KEEP GETTING ON MY NERVES. SOMEONE LIKE YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY...! MILLER, THAT'S ENOUGH. SHE'S PEJIN'S PARTNER. WE CAN'T JUST CARELESSLY KICK OUT A GUEST AT OUR PARTY. I'LL APOLOGIZE ON MILLER'S BEHALF. WELCOME, APRIL. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. NOW... HOUSE LUNOS IS GONE, AND ONLY THE PIRATE FAMILY REMAINS, HUH? YOU REALLY CAN'T HIDE PIRATE BLOOD. HEIDI BASANTA. YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE BIT EITHER. NO. SINCE I'M STILL HERE, LUNOS REMAINS LUNOS, AND YOU REMAIN EXACTLY AS YOU ARE, DON'T YOU? THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME. YES, PERHAPS NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THE UNCHANGING HEIDI "DIEUS" FEELS LIKE... ...DANCING WITH PEJIN... ...FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE. WILL YOU ESCORT ME, PEJIN? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Mansion Awaits Spring #22: Chapter 21](/series/the-mansion-awaits-spring-943smigg/chapter-22-4ysnqv) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-mansion-awaits-spring-943smigg ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
