"Your Excellency, Count Castells, long time no see."

Viscount Remicio bowed slightly to Charlotte, looked at the slim girl and smiled:

"I didn't expect that after so many years, you are as beautiful as your mother, Lady Anne...well, you are so beautiful."

Charlotte:……

Why is it that every time someone wants to politely compliment her for growing up, they end up changing their words politely after taking a look at her height?!

Aren't they just a little smaller in stature and a little childish in appearance?

If I had known now, I shouldn't have taken away the old witch's power when she hung on the cross. Even if she became a vampire, she would have to wait to develop again!

Listening to Viscount Remicio's euphemistic praise, Charlotte's heart was filled with regret.

On the other side, the senior manager of the mining workshop was completely panicked:

"Master Remicio, is this not what we agreed to..."

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take away this criminal who slandered the nobles of the kingdom?"

Viscount Remicio glanced at the soldiers dissatisfied and shouted.

Following his order, the soldiers of the kingdom roughly sealed the mouth of the senior manager of the mining workshop and twisted him down.

Charlotte's eyes followed the frightened senior steward and disappeared into the army, while Viscount Remisio saluted again:

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Count Castel. I didn't know before that this guy dared to take action against the nobles of the kingdom. I have been deceived by him and thought that he really represented the Castel family."

"Um... I just heard that the chief steward of the mining workshop, Cod, was executed by you for betraying the family?"

Charlotte retracted her gaze from following the senior steward, smiled slightly, and said:

"Corder is not from the Castel family. He is a spy planted by some pretenders. Over the years, he has killed the miners, stolen Castel's mithril and lied about the depletion of the mithril mine.

The heinous crime has been punished."

Charlotte's words didn't ring loud.

However, a new commotion soon arose among the crowd:

"What? Is the disappearance of the miners related to Manager Cord?"

"Bah! These stewards...have such bad consciences!"

"The mithril mine...has not been exhausted?"

"I knew it! Even the mineral veins on the royal family's side are fine, how could there be a problem on Castel's side?"

Viscount Remicio also twitched at the corner of his eyes:

"Oh? So... Castel's mithril mine has not been exhausted?"

"certainly."

Charlotte nodded lightly.

Viscount Remicio breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is really great. Mineral veins have always been integrated. You don't know that after the news of the depletion of the Castel family's mithril mine reached the royal capital, it is said that His Majesty the King has been worried about the entire Castel family's mithril mine.

Everything will go wrong, and now that the truth is out, it’s finally a false alarm.”

"Yeah, it was a false alarm..."

Charlotte sighed slightly, with a look of regret on her face:

"I didn't expect that after so many years since my Castel family left the territory, so many moths would appear. They not only deceived the superiors but also dared to attack me."

"Attack on you?!"

Viscount Remicio seemed to be taken aback:

"Who is so brave? How dare you attack the nobles of the kingdom?"

Charlotte shook her head and sighed:

"It was many days ago. I was ambushed before entering the earl territory. Fortunately, I was protected by a strong man and was able to turn defeat into victory..."

As she spoke, she said dissatisfiedly:

"Now that I think about it, the people who ambushed me at the beginning probably had something to do with these traitors. They just didn't want me to return to the Castel Territory. For this reason, they even poured dirty water on His Highness Philip. It's really

hateful!"

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

After hearing a certain name, Viscount Remicio became visibly energetic.

He obviously has a fierce face, but his perked ears and cheerful expression make him look like a village aunt who has heard gossip.

"Yes, they actually slandered His Highness Philip, saying that it was His Highness Philip who attacked me..."

Charlotte said angrily.

After saying that, she sighed and didn’t want to mention more:

"It's all in the past, but it makes you laugh."

Viscount Remicio, however, was obviously aroused by Charlotte's unfinished words, and looked like he was clearly straightening up to listen to the gossip.

However, Charlotte didn't want to talk any more. Although he felt uncomfortable with curiosity, he couldn't force it.

"Well... Your Excellency, since the truth has been revealed, I will not delay you here in handling family affairs. I will wait until the dust settles before visiting you."

Viscount Remicio scratched his head and said.

"It's natural. Thank you very much for arriving in time today and suppressing these little ones for me."

Charlotte said with a smile.

"Haha, if you need anything, you can send someone to contact me at any time. I will be stationed outside Caiyin City. I can still help suppress a few traitors."

Viscount Remicio laughed.

After saying that, he once again paid a noble courtesy to Charlotte, and hurriedly left with the kingdom's army with bright equipment.

Charlotte looked away from the leaving Kingdom soldiers and looked at the mine guards in front of her.

This time, the mine guards did not hesitate.

Led by two initiate officers, hundreds of guards knelt down towards Charlotte, covering a large area when they knelt down. Their voices were quite loud in the night:

"I have met the Earl!"

At the same time, among the mining stewards gathered here, there were also a few stewards who knelt down together with the guards:

"I have met the Earl!"

At this moment, no one has any objection to Charlotte's true identity.

Charlotte's eyes swept over the people who were kneeling and prostrated, and finally landed on many of the mining managers whose faces turned pale, kept retreating, and even began to disappear into the crowd.

Her eyes turned cold and she issued her first order after taking back control of the mine troops:

"The guards obey the order and capture the traitors of these families!"

Following Charlotte's order, the mine guards immediately took action. At a speed many times faster than before, they arrested the stewards who were trying to escape one by one, and escorted them to Xia Xia in full view of the public.

In front of Lot.

Looking around, there were more than thirty people.

The mine managers were ashen-faced and looked frightened and desperate. Many of them were so frightened that they peed their pants and cried and begged for mercy.

Charlotte gave them a cold look:

"Take him down and lock him up!"

"yes."

The guards saluted respectfully and escorted all the stewards down, which caused a round of applause from the surrounding miners.

On weekdays, it is not uncommon for mine stewards to be domineering, oppressive and bullying miners. At this time, the miners were naturally happy to see these superior stewards being unlucky.

Not to mention, they even learned just now that the disappearance of the miners in the mine was actually related to these traitorous stewards.

After dealing with these obviously problematic workshop stewards, Charlotte looked around and looked at the remaining workshop stewards:

"Which of you...has the highest status here?"

"Go back...go back to your lord count, yes, it's me."

An elderly steward took a shaky step forward.

"May I have your name?"

"My...my name is Hank, Hank de Lean-Castle, senior manager of the mining workshop, in charge of logistics."

The old steward replied respectfully.

Len Castel? Is he actually a relative of Baron Chalon?

Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
