"Greetings, Your Majesty."
A young man with jet-black hair and light brown eyes greeted Edmund and Ruby the moment they stepped into the main hall.
He was Cassian Moonshadow, the Marquess's eldest son.
Despite being only seventeen, Cassian was already trusted with many responsibilities, especially those related to diplomacy and formal matters.
From what Primrose knew, the Marquess and his wife had three children—two sons and one daughter. But strangely, their daughter had never once appeared in public, not even during banquets held at their own house.
In fact, Solene had once mentioned that the Marquess rarely even spoke about his daughter, as if she didn't exist at all.
With that kind of behavior, Primrose could easily guess the Marquess held very little regard for women, seeing them as beneath him and unworthy of attention or status.
"Did your father send you to greet me?" Edmund asked calmly. "The Marquess seems impressively quick at getting information."
