Chapter 4 Watching
The next morning, outside the Baron's castle.

A strange master and servant who claimed to be from the royal capital visited this remote baronial castle.

The one who received them was the castle's butler...Diaz.

"I'm sorry, the Baron went to Emerald Territory not long ago to visit Count Randy there, so he is not in the castle."

"But before the Baron left, he said that he would be back in three months at most."

"The Baron has been gone for more than two months now. If you two don't mind, you can stay in the castle for a while and wait for the Baron's return."

"As soon as the Baron returns, I will inform you two immediately. What do you think?"

The castle's butler, Diaz, spoke in a very respectful tone, as if he was afraid of angering the two strange visitors.

After all, as the steward of the castle, Diaz has a very good eye.

He was not clear about the specific identities of the two people.

But just from the way they were dressed and the aura of superiority they faintly radiated.

They made him realize that the identities of these two people were absolutely extraordinary and he could not neglect them.

Even though he is the steward of Baron Thorn's castle, his status is second only to the man in the Thorn Territory.

But that only applies to small places like the Thorn Territory.

As for other places outside the Territory of Thorns, there is really nothing commendable about him as the steward of the Baron's Castle.

As for Butler Diaz's reply, the white-haired old butler among the strange visitors did not take over the responsibility.

He lowered his head to the girl holding a parasol beside him and asked respectfully, "Ms. Lilisha, what do you mean?"

"The guest follows the host's wishes, just do as he says."

"understood."

Hearing this, Diaz on the side immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just worried that the two would vent their anger on him because they couldn't see the Baron.

But now it seems that these two distinguished guests from the royal capital are very aristocratic and polite, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

But for some reason, he always felt that the temperature in the castle had inexplicably dropped a lot after the two of them arrived.

He could hardly stop shivering.

However, Butler Diaz did not think much about it, and just thought that it was a psychological effect caused by being too nervous when facing these two people.

"Please follow me, I will immediately arrange for the maids to prepare a suitable room for you. In the days before the Baron's return, everyone in the castle will try to make sure you two have a pleasant time."

After calming down, Diaz immediately led the two of them towards the guest rooms in the castle with a smile on his face.

Along the way, Diaz began to proudly talk about the history of the Territory of Thorns.

However, neither Lilitha nor her butler Jet showed much interest in the great "Thorn Family" mentioned by Diaz.

Only Jet would politely reply one or two to avoid any awkward situation.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of a guest room.

"How about this room, sir?"

Although this is a guest room, it is a room in the castle specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

Therefore, both the decoration and layout are top-notch in the castle.

Diaz felt that this should be enough to show the castle's importance to the two distinguished guests.

But surprisingly, Jet, who had been very polite and gentle along the way, questioned Diaz in a stern tone after seeing the guest room.

"Are you sure this is your best room?"

"For a room like this, do you think it can match..."

"Jeter."

Lilysa interrupted Jet before he could finish his words. And this time, Lilysa did not let Jet speak for her, she made the decision herself.

"Just this room, I have no objection."

"……Yes."

Seeing his master speak, Jet had to give up even if he was dissatisfied.

Diaz, who was standing by, was so frightened that he couldn't speak the moment Jet got angry.

Because for a moment, Diaz felt that he was not facing an elderly butler at all, but a ferocious white wolf that seemed able to bite off his throat at any time.

The feeling of suffocation as if someone grabbed his throat invisibly still makes Diaz feel scared even now.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.

Diaz felt that if it weren't for the mysterious noble lady Lilitha who spoke up, given Jet's attitude at the time, he might have been in danger.

Diaz, who felt like he had been to the gates of hell, couldn't calm down for a long time and his tone became a little nervous.

"If you two feel there is anything wrong here, you can give us your orders."

"The maids of the castle and I will do everything possible to meet the requirements of the two distinguished guests and make sure that you two feel the sincerity of the castle."

That being said, Lilisa has already made her decision.

Even though Jet still had many dissatisfactions in his heart, he did not make things too difficult for Diaz.

Just because he doesn't change rooms doesn't mean Jet doesn't have other plans.

Jet walked into the guest room and began pointing at the various furniture and decorations inside.

The most important thing is to move out all the damn silverware and some white furniture in the room and replace them with red wine or black furniture.

After listening to Jet's request, Diaz immediately asked the maids to come over and modify the guest room to the greatest extent according to Jet's requirements.

Strive to satisfy Jet.

Just as Diaz and the maids in the castle were cautiously redecorating the guest room in front of them under the command of Jet, the "strict" butler.

Lilisha came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the guest room alone, staring out the window in a trance, as if attracted by something.

Noticing something strange about Lilitha, Jet walked over to her and followed Lilitha's gaze.

From this place, you can see the large open space from the castle wall to the center of the castle.

And in that open space, a middle-aged apprentice knight was training a group of militiamen.

Jeter looked at this scene and asked in confusion, "Miss, what is there for you to pay attention to about a mere militiaman and an apprentice knight who is not even at the Black Iron rank?"

"Silver hair."

"Silver hair?"

Hearing this, Jet immediately looked out the window seriously.

Among the militiamen with black and brown hair, a young man with silver-white hair stood out.

This also made Jet instantly understand the reason why Lilitha was in a trance.

Because her deceased mother, the gentle mistress, was a woman with silver hair.

Thinking of this, Jet immediately decided to investigate the identity of this young man in the following days.

After all, silver hair is not a common hair color in the Principality of Morton.

As Miss Lilitha's butler and guardian, he has the responsibility and obligation to help his master solve her problems.

But before that, he had something more important to do.

That is to investigate any traces of the "Holy Communion" that appear on this land.

To do this, he had to resort to some tricks...
