Baron Von Heiden started to introduce himself to his hostess, but another man intervened. Seigfried took his time to size up the newcomer. By his looks, a minor noble, but intelligent. Possibly one who had actually earned his station. He appeared unarmed, but that was to be expected. Noblemen rarely wore weapons, and most hadn't the courage to wield one when they did. This man, however, might be an exception. Siegfried wasn't worried about that, his skill with a blade was rarely equaled. Between the master who had trained him, and the number of men he had killed, the only people he met who could even compare to him were in the military, not the nobility. Still he wouldn't underestimate the man, or ignore him. He had the scar on his face to remind him never to assume an opponent was done.
As he studied the man, he noticed that he was calling Michele over to him as well. Seigfried didn't know what relationship the man had with the ladies, but he was obviously protective of them. The baron gave the man points for protecting the maid, very few nobles had any interest in a servant, especially one that wasn't theirs. It was also gallant of him to try to protect Josephine, even if the baron had serious doubts as to his hostess needing any protection.
The baron debated making a scene and pushing by the man, when Michele was called away. A young lady wanted the maid for something, and the servant girl made her way to answer the summons. The nobleman was distracted and Seigfried took advantage of the moment. Quickly, he strode to Josephine and put his arm around her.
"My lady, I have answered your invitation and am prepared to undertake the task you spoke of. Might we retire from here, as I believe we have personal business to discuss."
