Charlotte felt that she was really busy.

Just like the boss who hasn't been to the company for a long time, one by one, everyone is queuing up to see her.

However, they seem to be popular, but in fact no one really only cares about her, they are all for other purposes.

but……

The Boulder family?

Duke's house?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

The Boulder family is the lording family of the Principality of Boulder, and is also the object of allegiance to the Castel family.

By the way, both parties are related to each other.

First of all, the Castel family is descended from the Boulder family, which can be regarded as a side branch of the Boulder family.

Secondly, Lady Catherine, the second wife of the former Duke of Boulder, is Charlotte's aunt.

If we really count the seniority, Charlotte is the same generation as the current Duke.

Well... although the two of them are actually several dozen years apart.

In the vague memories that Charlotte inherited, most of the few times that her predecessor left Castel Manor were to visit her aunt in the Duke's Palace.

However, Lady Catherine has been dead for many years.

And the predecessor has not left the manor for ten years.

Charlotte thought of the nobles who had been kicked out by the female knight before.

If I remember correctly, they seemed to claim to represent the Duke's Palace...

Could it be...that it's them?

Charlotte was thoughtful.

She secretly thought that she was really popular, she nodded gently and said obediently:

"Invite them in!"

The door was pushed open again, and several nobles in gorgeous clothes entered the ward.

As expected by Charlotte, they were the same group of people who were kicked out by Captain Kara before.

"Miss Charlotte, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for many years. You are becoming more and more beautiful."

The fat noble at the head wore a kind smile and performed standard aristocratic etiquette.

Then, his expression became solemn again, as if changing his face in a Sichuan opera, and became sad and heavy:

"The Duke's Palace already knows what happened last night. His Excellency the Duke is deeply saddened by what happened to the Castel family, and he is even more angry."

"This morning, His Excellency the Duke has urged the Demon Hunting Station to thoroughly investigate the matter, and vowed to dig out all the blood-born monsters in Boulder and catch them all!"

"Please rest assured that no matter what happens, the Bold family will always be the strongest backing of the Castel family!"

The fat nobleman was filled with indignation and his expression was sincere.

Charlotte shrank slightly into the quilt, making a confused and timid expression.

She tilted her little head, her big eyes seemed to be filled with question marks:

"May I ask you are……?"

The fat noble's breath froze.

But the young noble swordsman behind him couldn't help but chuckle:

"Pfft, Bruno, I told you a long time ago. It's been ten years, how can the eldest lady of the Castel family still remember you?"

After saying that, the swordsman passed the fat noble and came to Charlotte.

He was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, and imitated the movements of the fat nobleman and performed aristocratic etiquette.

Charlotte still acted like a vigilant little animal, pretending to be an ignorant and timid little girl.

However, she was quite calm in her heart and analyzed the other party's identity based on his performance.

Let’s not talk about the fat noble at the head for now.

His deacon's attire was too conspicuous. He was obviously a steward of the Duke's palace, and he might have the title of viscount or baron.

What made Charlotte curious was the swordsman.

Judging from Charlotte's inherited memory, the swordsman's movements were quite substandard, but it could be seen that the opponent had tried his best.

This should be a person who has just become a noble, and is also a powerful transcendent.

Chatting with Dean Raoul gave Charlotte a better understanding of the nobility of this world.

In the world of Miria, nobles almost monopolize extraordinary power. It is normal for wild extraordinary people to be recruited by nobles. Some people can even directly become upstarts with titles.

However, looking at the obviously high-end and gorgeous clothes on the other party, especially the lion logo of the Boulder family painted on the right chest that only direct members can wear, Charlotte further revised her judgment:

This is an upstart who was recently recognized by the Boulder family and gained the status of a direct member.

"First meeting, Miss Charlotte, I am Lenore Bold."

The noble swordsman spoke.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

The fat nobleman on the side coughed desperately and winked.

The swordsman was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"Uh...Leno de Porte..."

"De" is a common epithet in the names of nobles in the Silver Moon Kingdom. Usually, the surname followed is also a territory, meaning "belonging to" or "coming from", which is regarded as a sign of nobility.

For example, Charlotte herself, Charlotte de Castres, means "Charlotte of Castres" in a popular sense.

In the Silver Moon Kingdom, the best way to judge the status of a noble is to see if there is a "virtue" between the first and last name when the other party gives their name.

It is obvious that this newcomer to the Bold family has not yet gotten used to his noble status.

This time when he re-registered, he was so nervous that he even said the last name "Bold" incorrectly.

The fat noble is going crazy.

As if wearing a mask of pain, he instantly covered his face and whispered desperately:

"It's Bold..."

Swordsman:......

The young noble's expression froze, and then his face turned red.

His expression changed a lot, and then he cursed like a broken jar:

"Damn it! Nobles are such trouble, damn Bold!"

The fat noble's eyes widened and he immediately held his head, almost fainting.

However, the young swordsman no longer cares:

"Okay, Bruno, stop staring at me with your little eyes. No matter how big you stare, they are still small!"

"Don't lecture me anymore. Even if the old man comes today, I don't care."

"I've said it many times. If you're not used to it, you're just not used to it. There are too many rules at home, so you'd better be comfortable being a mercenary!"

After saying that, he looked at Charlotte again and said quickly:

"Miss Charlotte, let me introduce myself again. I am Lenore."

"As you can see, I was once a free mercenary. I just returned to the Bold family not long ago. I am not familiar with anything. Please forgive me for any offence."

"In addition to wanting to visit, I am here this time to send an invitation letter to the old man."

Abandoning the restraint of the nobles, the young swordsman completely let himself go and finally felt relaxed.

He took out an invitation wrapped in golden silk from his arms and subconsciously wanted to throw it to Charlotte.

But after noticing her wrapped hands and feet, the swordsman quickly stopped his movements and gently placed the invitation in front of her:

"It's the old man's sixtieth birthday in half a month. A birthday dinner will be held at the Duke's Palace. All the lower-level nobles have been invited, and some other lords of the kingdom will also be present."

"Damn it! To be honest, I think I'm crazy for sending birthday invitations now! After all, that happened just yesterday, and now is not a good time at all..."

"But the old man asked me to deliver it. He said that this matter is very important for the future of the Castel family, especially after the incident at Castel Manor."

"Miss Charlotte, I know you are very sad, painful, and scared right now... However, people always have to look forward."

"The mercenaries have a saying: Life is the most fucked-up adventure. Only the bastards with the most determined will can shout "son of a bitch" while returning home with beauty and treasure.

"You are not only yourself, but also represent the Castel family. Please be strong."

"Okay, I...cough, I've finished what I said, and the invitation letter has been delivered, so I won't disturb you further."

"Wish you a speedy recovery! Goodbye!"
