Frank took a sip of wine after clinking glasses with Titus but soon noticed something as the liquid slid down his throat.
"What…" He frowned, glancing at the dark-red wine.
"Problem?" Titus asked. "That's a special grade Romanee-Conti, imported from Franconia. They produce less than 400 barrels each year, but 200 of those have been brought here expressly for this banquet."
After his commentary, Titus made a look of dramatic realization. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Lawrence—I've forgotten that hillbillies like you never get to experience such fine wine, let alone relish the exquisiteness in its taste."
Nearby, Yonca hid her laughter behind her palm, while other Turnbull family members frowned at Frank too.
Who was he? Why had they not seen him around before?
His very presence was a polar opposite from the glitz and glamor of the banquet hall, so they couldn't help being curious.
Still, Frank wasn't frustrated, even smiling and nodding. "Hehe… There really is something special about this wine that I can't appreciate. I guess only someone as highbrow as you can appreciate it, Mr. Lionheart."
His reaction actually surprised Titus.
"Fufu… Who is this young gentleman? Is no one going to introduce me?"
Before they could continue, a woman in her twenties approached them.
She was wearing a flamboyant gown and a particularly strong perfume.
"Hmm…?"
Frank's eyes narrowed as soon as he saw her.
Yonca hurried to her, saying, "Please, Marit. He's just a healer who's lodging in our residence because of Mr. Turnbull's illness. He's nobody important."
