Amidst heavy footsteps, Lucien, wearing silver-white armor, walked into Swan Castle.

  A guard took the helmet and sword that Lucien took off, and another pretty maid bowed to Lucien and presented a clean wet towel.

  Lucien wiped his face with a towel and asked, “Where’s Madam?”

  The maid took the wet towel and whispered back, “The Earl is changing clothes on the second floor.”

  Lucien nodded and went up the spiral staircase. On the second floor, when he opened a wooden door, he saw that Count Schulz had changed into a pure black dress.

  Her hair was tied into the most popular style of a lady’s bun, and a string of crystal and round pearl necklaces hung around her creamy neck. Her delicate three-dimensional facial features were painted with a light face, making her appear graceful, luxurious and incomparably beautiful.

  ”You’re back.” Count Schulz smiled brightly at his husband, took a few steps forward to help him take off his armor, and asked, “What did you gain today?”

  Lucien chuckled, shrugged, and said: “If I could get anything out of it, I accompanied the Viscount Angelet for a walk around the Neuschwanstein Castle. However, I found that the Viscount did not seem to be perfunctory, but was seriously searching for the whereabouts of Bishop John.”

  Schulz The Earl smiled lightly and said disapprovingly, “What can he find when he looks for a needle in a haystack like this?”

  Lucien frowned and considered: “I think he may have made some discoveries; otherwise he wouldn’t be able to be so focused all the time. As if he was really looking for clues.”

  Count Schulz’s hand paused, and his face became a little solemn: “Did he find something?”

  Lucien shook his head and said, “I don’t know. However, since you must be a little suspicious if you don’t want Vera to come to Swan City to meet you,”

  Count Schulz frowned softly and said doubtfully, “I can’t figure out what went wrong to make him suspicious.”

  Lucien was undressing his armor while talking about his speculation: “Is it possible that he already knows the identity of Vera’s real biological mother?”

  ”Probably not.” Count Schulz shook his head. “Since that person, I am sure that Marquis Garcia will not stand up to refute me, which means that the identity of Vera’s real biological mother is extremely sensitive, and it is unlikely that Viscount Angelet will know this secret.”

  Lucien couldn’t help but ask curiously, “That person didn’t reveal any information about Vera’s real biological mother?”

  ”No. He only said that Vera’s real biological mother did not dare to recognize Vera.”

  Lucien rubbed his chin, seeming to be thinking about who Vera’s real biological mother was. Who could it be?

  Upon seeing this, Earl Schultz reminded me: “Okay, don’t guess. If you are worried that Viscount Angelet has discovered something, you can test him later during the dinner.”

  Lucien then recovered his thoughts, nodded, and said: “Okay, I’ll go wash up and change into clean clothes first.”

  Dong Dong Dong.

  At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

  ”Come in.”

  Count Schulz said loudly, and then he saw the butler pushing the door open and entering.

  He first saluted and greeted the count and his wife, and then reported, “Your Majesty, Viscount Angelet wants to visit the Swan Castle.”

  ”Visit? I think he wants to search for it!” Lucien looked cold and said in a bad tone. said.

  Earl Schulz’s eyes also froze but soon returned to normal. She ordered the housekeeper: “Go and ask Viscount Angelet to wait a moment. I will accompany him to visit Swan Castle.” “

  Yes!”The housekeeper responded. He said and closed the door again.

  Lucien’s eyes flashed with danger, and he said coldly, “Did he really find something?”

  Earl Schulz patted his husband’s strong chest and comforted him: “If he really found something, you should pretend to know nothing, and then quietly leave Swan Castle and go to Winter City to bring in reinforcements.

  Instead of alarming us like now.”

  Lucien nodded, feeling that what his wife said made sense, and his aura calmed down. stand up.

  ”Then what are you going to do?”

  ”Since he wants to see it, I’ll go see it with him,” Count Schulz said indifferently.

  Lucien understood what his wife meant and nodded: “Okay, you go hang out with him, and I’ll let that guy move first.”

  ”Yes.” Earl Schulz nodded, and then used a warning tone. He said, “In front of that person, you’d better be more respectful.”

  ”Do you really think he is the Duke of Saint Hilde?” Lucien smiled disdainfully and said, “Except for his appearance, he has nothing. His demeanor, tone, and some habits are completely different from the real Duke of Saint Hilde!

  Although I don’t know what his appearance is, he definitely can’t deceive people who are really familiar with Duke Saint Hilde.”

  Shu. Earl Ertz said with deep meaning: “He has the face of a duke and the strength of a duke. Why can’t he be the Duke of Saint Hilde?”

  ”Strength?” The expression on Lucien’s face became even more disdainful. “Just based on his current state, I can chop off his head in an hourglass.”

  ”Lucien, never underestimate the power of the Paladin!” Count Schultz’s face straightened. “Even if he is not seriously injured now, hey if you really dare to provoke, you will never end well.”

  Seeing that Lucien still seemed unconvinced, Count Schulz looked sharply and said, “You promised me, Lucien, don’t break your promise. Promise!”

  ”Of course I remember my promise; I just hope you don’t forget yours too,” Lucien responded coldly.

  Count Schulz looked seriously into his husband’s eyes and nodded. “Of course I will not forget it.”

  ”That’s good. However, I still want to remind you: don’t be fooled by the other party’s name of ‘Duchess’; it is just a blank check.”

  Count Schulz nodded solemnly and said, “Of course I know what I’m doing, and I won’t completely trust that ‘Duke St. Hilde’ who doesn’t know the truth.”

  ”That’s good.” Lucien put the half-taken-off armor back on and said, “You, let’s deal with Viscount Angelet first; I will make arrangements for Duke St. Hilde.”

  Count Schulz nodded, turned around, and walked out.

  …

  Swan Castle is a Gothic-style building that uses a large number of spire designs. It is tall and thin, yet heavy. The exterior walls are painted white, which complements the green Swan Lake and has a strong visual impact. Unforgettable at first sight.

  This castle is more than thirty meters high, with seven floors and more than 200 rooms. It would take more than half a day to visit them one by one.

  Under the leadership of Count Schulz, Colin only watched it briefly.

  ”Viscount Angelet, this is all of the main castle. There are two auxiliary castles behind it, as well as warehouses, stables, farms, etc. Do you want to continue visiting?”

  Colin stood in the main entrance hall of the Swan Castle, looking around. He seemed to be admiring the surrounding decorations and furnishings.

  Seeing Count Schultz point his hand in the direction of the door, he did not step forward immediately. Instead, he stamped his feet on the spot and asked with a smile:

  ”Your Majesty, is there no basement under the main castle?”

  ”Of course there is.” At this time, Lucien walked in. He must have just finished bathing. He changed into a black dress and smiled at Colin. “The wine cellar and storage room are below. Do you want to see them, Lord Viscount?”

  Colin nodded. , said:

  ”Of course!”
