All of the nobles present were looking at the young couple with different thoughts going through their minds. However, despite the narrow-minded and petty thoughts they were directing toward the young couple, the two of them remained completely unfazed.

The more narrow-minded a person was, the more prone they were to envy and jealousy. The nobles present weren't willing to admit this to themselves, but their fury and detest simply stemmed from their crushing sense of inferiority.

Right at this moment, a noblewoman emerged gracefully from the crowd. "Oh, fancy meeting you here. What are you doing here in Zans?"

The woman was very bold and gave Erwin a seductive wink, even though they were in the presence of so many people.

Erwin and Onean exchanged a glance, and they couldn't help but be amazed at just how small this world truly was.

The woman was none other than the noblewoman who had had her portrait drawn for her by Erwin back in Belama.

"Are you already familiar with Mr. Erwin, Countess Retola?" Count Onen asked with a curious expression.

"We have indeed met once before in Belama," the noblewoman replied with a smile. "At the time, he was busking on the streets. I didn't think he would already be considered to be such an established artist in such a short time here in Zans."

This was nothing...
