On this day, two pairs of guests decided to surprise him by showing up on his doorstep.
Knock... Knock... Reinhardt, who was working at his desk after the morning training, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"e in." Thinking that it was Melissa, he replied without thinking, eyes still focused on the document. Just then...
"Haha, so this is the office of my son? Not bad, not bad. It truly looks stately".
This voice! Looking up, Rienhardt noticed that the one to enter was a man who seemed to hold some resemblance to his own handsome face.
"Father?!" The guest was none other than Raymond Arcknight, the Duke, and this body’s father in this world.
"Lord Reinhardt, are you doing well? We came here because we were worried about you?"
He was not alone. Even Miranda, Priest Rob, his stepmom Verdia, and his little brother Arthur. The whole group was here. Reinhardt was truly delighted to see the familiar faces again.
"It has been more than three months, you know. Has Lord Reinhardt forgotten about us and our promise?" Miranda gave him a coquettish glare.
"What promise?" Verdia from the side questioned.
"I simply asked the knight to help me out from time to time. With his powers, he can easily finish any task," Miranda spoke while locking arms with him.
If it were anyone else, it would be unusual; however, Priest Rob was Raymond’s best friend, and the couple was like a family. As such, Miranda’s words and actions made others feel like she was just spoiling Reinhardt.
That said, as a woman, Verdia was very intuitive. The excuse might have worked on the two dunce men, but not her. She could tell that Miranda’s words had much deeper meaning than that.
"Big brother, let’s have a sword fight," Arthur suddenly demanded, donning that armor and weapon Reinhardt got him from the dawn forge that day. He looked extremely adorable.
"Another time," Reinhardt tussled his hair. After that, he looked at his family and questioned with a pleasant surprise. He received no such reports of the other party ing. It must mean that even the maids kept it a secret from him.
"We are here to see how you are doing. Governing a territory is not an easy task, so I know you must be suffering a lot. Besides, your stepmother had been nagging me to bring her here for quite some time now." That was Raymond’s answer.
As for priest Rob, Miranda was the same. She kept on saying how you were all alone in the city with no one to take care of you".
So that was the case; everyone was worried about him, and so they decided to surprise him by showing up collectively today.
"Everyone, thank you." While he might not have been alone, he did miss the warm atmosphere he felt when living in the Lumiose City.
"Please sit down, once I finish the work on my hand, I can show you around the city, the Snowpoint city that I built".
"Hoh" Sensing a little pride in the tone of his son, Raymond spoke, "Very well then, show us the city that you are so proud. However, you don’t have to skip over your work for us. We will get fresh and rest in the mansion. In the meantime, you can finish your work. Remember, you are a Governor of a city now."
It appeared that Raymond was extremely proud of the fact that his son was taking the initiative and learning about administration and Governance. After all, one day the Arkcnight duchy would also be his to manage.
Just as the family turned around to exit, from the door entered Melissa.
"Lord Reinhardt, I brought the files you asked... Eh?"
Not expecting to see so many people inside, the secretary was stunned for a while. That said, she was an exceptional woman for a reason. Seeing the similarity, Melissa instantly connected the dots.
"It’s an honor meeting with the duke".
A beautiful woman with extreme charms. Who might she be? Whether it be her style, grace or confidence, it was impeccable. As a woman, she lacked nothing. Raymond nodded and arched his brows.
"She is my secretary and a former student of Her Majesty the Queen. It’s thanks to her that I am able to manage the city so well," Reinhardt introduced.
"Oh!" Raymond’s eyes contained a little admiration now that he knew she was the student of the Queen. If it was her helping his son, then he did not need to worry about the city.
"Please excuse us. We shall take our leave," Saying that, he and the others exited the room.
Before leaving, Miranda gave a knowing glance to this woman who was glowing from head to toe. With that kind of hot body and clothes, it was hard for man to keep their eyes away from her.
And she wore these clothes daily when she came to work. It would be a surprise if nothing happened between her and Reinhardt.
"Lord Reinhardt, let’s meet up later. We have plenty to catch up on." She closed the door behind her, and the office finally returned to its former calm.
"Phew... Lord Reinhardt, why didn’t you tell me your family is visiting?" It was a shock to see so many unknown people inside the office all of a sudden.
"I am surprised myself. They did not tell me they were ing either".
So that was the case, Melissa nodded her head. "Since they have e here from Lumiose City, you ought to acpany them and show them the city you built. You can leave the work to me."
As he was seeing his family after a long time, he naturally ought to make time for them. However, Reinhardt shook his head.
"I am the Governor of a city, everyone is relying on me. I can just take breaks on a whim. Besides, I have a feeling that Ray... that my father would be disappointed if I set my work aside to make time for them like this. Instead, it’s much better if I plete my work first and then give them time".
