That was why Ingrid, known as the Phantom Princess, had married into the Offenburg marquisate. And Lily was Princess Ingrid's one and only granddaughter. Now it was as if that granddaughter were returning to Altringen.
"But there's something a little strange. Why did Lily go out of her way to pick you, Baron?"
