Not long after meeting Albert in Chapter 504, the guard who had run into the manor to report returned to the gate, let Ivan in, and led the way in front of the carriage.
The guards led Ivan to the gate of the manor villa and then returned to the gate.
Jonas stood at the villa entrance to welcome Ivan.
"Duke Ivan, it's been a long time." Jonas placed his left hand on his chest and gave a slight bow to Ivan, who had just alighted from the carriage.
Ivan smiled and said, "Long time no see, Jonas."
“Duke Ivan, this way please.” Jonas stretched out his arm and pointed into the villa.
The two entered the villa and went to the reception room, where tea had already been prepared.
Ivan and Jonas sat facing each other on the sofa.
Ivan took off a blue ring from his finger and placed it on the coffee table, saying...
"These are restorative treasures that His Majesty has collected throughout the country during this period, and he asked me to bring them here."
"I wonder... how is Duke Ferde doing? Is he still the same as before?"
Jonas chuckled, picked up the ring from the coffee table, and smiled.
“Since it is His Majesty’s gift, Jonas will accept it in the name of the family head and convey my gratitude to His Majesty.”
“Young Master Renn just returned yesterday. After learning about the patriarch's condition, he received treatment and has now greatly improved. It won't be long before the patriarch wakes up.”
"At that time, the head of the family will definitely pay a visit to Duke Ivan."
Ivan nodded: "I knew it would be..."
Suddenly, Ivan looked up sharply, his mouth agape as he stared at Jonas: "What!?"
“Fred is well… ah, I mean, it’s wonderful that Duke Fred is getting better.” Ivan realized his slip of the tongue and quickly adjusted his tone.
"As expected of Young Master Renn, hailed as the continent's number one magical genius, this is truly fantastic news!"
Ivan was genuinely happy because it seemed he wouldn't have to be beaten anymore.
After chatting with Jonas for a while, Ivan tentatively spoke.
"Where is young master Renn?"
Jonas was taken aback, then his eyes flickered, and he realized Ivan's purpose in coming to the Gray family. He smiled.
"Duke Ivan wishes to see Young Master Renn?"
“Young Master Renn has just returned to the family and should be spending this time playing with his female companion in the garden.”
“Duke Ivan knows that young master Renn dislikes it when he is disturbed while he is playing with his female companions.”
After saying that, Jonas feigned a conflicted expression and continued...
"If you have something urgent, I'll go call him for you now."
"No, no, no!" Ivan quickly reached out to stop Jonas, who was trying to get up.
"Well... there's nothing urgent. If possible, I'll wait here for a while until Young Master Renn is done playing, then I can talk to him."
Jonas nodded. "Alright then, I won't keep you company any longer, Your Grace. There are other family matters waiting for me to attend to."
"I will keep an eye on Young Master Renn's movements for you. Once Young Master Renn is done, I will inform him."
Ivan nodded: "Thank you for your help, Jonas."
Jonas walked out of the council chamber and gave instructions to the maid at the door.
"Take good care of Duke Ivan."
"Yes." The two maids bowed.
Jonas walked through the corridor and into the garden in the backyard of the villa.
At this moment, Renn's personal maids were playing with him in the garden.
Ryan sat in a chair, holding Ellie in his arms, enjoying his tea and snacks.
The maids were catching butterflies in small groups, lying on the grass enjoying the sunshine, and sitting by the pond splashing water with their little feet.
Jonas walked up to Ryan: "Young Master."
Seeing this, Ellie, who was in Ryan's arms, got up from Ryan and ran to her sisters as if fleeing.
"Uncle Joe? Is something the matter?" Ryan asked, putting down his teacup.
