@Introvert Actually
Spoiler!
The knight hesitated because Perez was busy interrogating someone, but Tia confidently ordered him to call him and told him to say that the Deputy Head of Lombardi wanted to see him. The knight quickly went inside to deliver the message. A few seconds later, the interrogation room door suddenly burst open and Perez rushed out.
He ran down the stairs almost flying and hurried straight to Tia when he saw her waiting outside. Several knights and the Knight Commander followed behind him. Perez asked why she was still standing outside instead of coming in. Tia replied that no one had invited her inside. After that, she told him she was there on official business as the Deputy Head of Lombardi. Then she revealed the reason for her visit was she wanted the case of Bellesac to be transferred to the Lombardi family.

Perez brings her into a private office and orders the knights outside not to enter, leaving the two of them alone. The atmosphere is awkward, so Tia tries to keep things formal and explain she’s there on official business. But Perez suddenly asks if she slept well, reminding her that he visited her room the previous night. Tia realizes it wasn’t a dream like she thought, which embarrasses her a lot because she had confessed that she liked him 🤭 Trying to avoid tension, Tia focuses on her task and asks Perez to hand over Bellesac. Perez calmly agrees and says he already expected she would come since she’s now responsible for all Lombardi family matters.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections
