The head of the family was quite no matter what was discussed at the table. Nothing seemed to rattle him and upset. Not even the matter of Celine's scheme.
The man hummed and continued to eat. He attacked the food on his plate as if he was going to war with it and ate as if he was never going to eat again.
His behavior was out of place for a noble. But they knew that he was also a merchant, and merchants don't like to waste time, so they understood.
Besides, he was a very powerful man. They had to give him a pass even if they didn't understand his behavior.
The rest of the family chatted amicably while the head of the family ate. But while it didn't look like he wasn't listening to them, they knew that he was listening and was paying attention to everything going on around them.
This was further proven when he finished eating and spoke to Celine.
"What you did was impressive. But it was out of line."
