Lucien, who was wearing a full set of silver armor, walked into Swan Castle with heavy footsteps.
A squire took over Lucien's helmet and sword, and a pretty maid bowed to Lucien and presented him with a clean wet towel.
Lucien wiped his face with the towel and asked, "Where is the lady?"
The maid took over the wet towel and answered softly, "The count is changing his clothes on the second floor."
Lucien nodded and walked up the spiral stairs to the second floor. He pushed open a wooden door and saw that Countess Schultz had already changed into a pure black dress.
Her beautiful hair was coiled into the most popular upper-class bun style, and a string of sparkling and translucent pearl necklaces hung around her creamy neck. Her delicate and three-dimensional facial features were lightly painted, making her look graceful and luxurious, and her beauty was unparalleled.
"You're back." Countess Schultz smiled at her husband and helped him take off his armor. She asked, "What did you get today?"
Lucien smiled and shrugged, "What can I find? I just accompanied Viscount Angley to walk around Swan Castle. However, I found that the Viscounts was not perfunctory. He was looking for the bishop's whereabouts very seriously. "
Countess Schultz smiled faintly and said disapprovingly, "He's looking for a needle in a haystack. What can he find?"
Lucien frowned and said, "I think he might have found something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so focused all the time, as if he was really looking for clues."
Countess Schultz's hands paused for a second, and her face became a bit serious, "Did he find something?"
Lucien shook his head, "I don't know. However, since he didn't want Vera to come to Swan City to meet you, he must have some suspicions. "
Count Schultz frowned and said in confusion, "I can't figure out what went wrong that made him suspicious."
Lucien said his guess while taking off his armor, "Maybe he already knows the identity of Vera's real mother?"
"I don't think so." Count Schultz shook his head. "Since that person is so sure that Marquis García would not stand up to refute me, it means that the identity of Vera's biological mother is extremely sensitive. It is unlikely that Viscount Angley would know about this secret."
Lucien could not help but ask curiously, "Did that person say anything about Vera's real mother?"
"No. He only said that Vera's real biological mother did not dare to acknowledge Vera at all. "
Lucien rubbed his chin as if he was trying to figure out who Vera's real mother was.
Seeing this, Count Schultz reminded him, "Alright, stop guessing. If you're worried that Viscount Angley has discovered something, you can test him during the banquet later. "
Lucien nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go wash up and change into clean clothes."
Dong dong dong.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in."
Count Schultz said loudly, and then the butler pushed the door open and walked in.
The butler first greeted the count and his wife, and then reported, "My lord, Viscount Angley wants to visit Swan Castle."
"Visit? I think he wants to search the castle! "Lucien said with a cold face.
Count Schultz's eyes also narrowed, but she soon returned to normal. She said to the butler, "Please ask Viscount Angley to wait for a while. I'll accompany him to visit Swan Castle."
"Yes, my lady!" The butler replied and closed the door again.
Lucien's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he said coldly, "Did he really find something?"
Count Schultz patted her husband's strong chest and comforted him, "If he really found something, he should pretend that he knows nothing, and then quietly leave Swan Castle to ask for help from Winter.
He shouldn't have alerted us like this. "
Lucien nodded and felt that his wife was right. Then he restrained his aura.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"If he wants to visit, then I'll accompany him." Count Schultz said indifferently.
Lucien understood his wife's meaning. He nodded and said, "Okay, you go accompany him. I'll go ask that guy to move his nest."
"Okay." Count Schultz nodded, and then said in a warning tone, "You'd better be respectful in front of that guy."
"Do you really think he's the Duke Of St. Hilde?" Lucien sneered, "Except for his appearance, his attitude, his tone, and some of his habits are completely different from the real Duke Of St. Hilde!
Although I don't know what's going on with his appearance, he can't fool those who really know the Duke Of St. Hilde. "
Count Schultz said with a deep meaning, "He has the face of a Duke, and he has the strength of a Duke. Why can't he be the Duke Of St. Hilde?"
"Strength?" The look on Lucien's face became even more disdainful, "With his current condition, I can chop his head off in an hourglass."
"Never underestimate the power of a Saint Knight, Lucien!" Count Schultz's face became serious, "Even though he's still injured, if you really dare to provoke him, you won't end well."
Seeing that Lucien was still not convinced, Count Schultz's eyes became serious, "You promised me, Lucien. Don't go back on your words!"
"Of course I remember my promise. I just hope you won't forget yours," Lucien responded coldly.
Count Schultz looked into his husband's eyes seriously and nodded, "Of course I won't forget."
"That's good. But I still have to remind you, don't be fooled by the title of 'Duchess'. It's just an empty promise. "
Count Schultz nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, I know what I'm doing. I won't completely trust that 'Duke of Saint Hilde' who I don't know if he's real or not."
"That's good." Lucien put on his half-taken armor again and said, "You go deal with Viscount Angley first. I'll take care of the Duke Of St. Hilde."
Count Schultz nodded and walked out of the room.
…
Swan Castle was a Gothic style building with a large number of pointed roof designs. It was tall, thin, and thick. The outer walls were painted white, which complemented the green Swan Lake. It had a strong visual impact and was unforgettable.
The castle was more than thirty meters high, with seven floors and more than two hundred rooms. It would take Lucien more than half a day to visit them one by one.
Under the guidance of Count Schultz, Colin only skimmed through the castle.
"Viscount Angley, this is the main castle. There are two side castles behind, as well as warehouses, stables, farms, and so on. Do you want to continue?"
Standing in the main hall of Swan Castle, Colin glanced around, as if he was admiring the decorations and decorations around.
Seeing Count Schultz pointing at the door, Lucien did not immediately go forward. Instead, he stamped his feet and asked with a smile,
"My lord, is there no basement under the main castle?"
"Of course there is." At this time, Lucien walked in. He must have just taken a shower and changed into a black suit. He smiled at Colin, "There's a wine cellar and a storage room. Would you like to have a look, my lord Viscounts?"
Colin nodded his head and said,
"Of course!"
