Book 2: Chapter 35: Side story: The young Lady's quite frequent Social Studies Part 6
Upon hearing the young marquess’ sweetly whispered words, the corrupt soldier spilled everything. It seemed that the noble behind all of this was after this diner and was also attempting to dirty the name of the young marquess at the same time.
After they heard him out, the corrupted soldier, along with the debt collectors, were handed over to the soldiers that they had actually called in. Since there would be an investigation, they demanded that everyone related to the case accompany them.

“Are you two alright?!”
“Yes, we’re fine. I’m sorry for making you worry,” Effy answered but the wording she used was no longer that of a young Lady, which was the language she had used up until that point. While Leena was still confused in many ways, they all sat down around a table at the front of house in order to listen to what had happened. Leena and Regina, the mother and daughter pair, were the ones listening, while Effy and Ciel were the ones explaining the situation.
“Firstly, I want to apologize for having lied to you all this time. Our real names are Emma and Roy. We’re siblings that work for Lady Sophia as her servants.”
“Siblings and servants? Then, you were pretending to be a young Lady and her servant because…?”
