(Thank you for the monthly pass support!)

Before inheriting the throne of Archduke of Icewind, Charlotte was titled Count of Wintercastle, which was his titular fief before his succession.

Although Charlotte rarely lived in Wintercastle, the castle was certainly staffed. Soldiers, knights, mechanical golems, and mages in charge of guarding, servants in charge of cleaning, and stewards in charge of everything are all available, even if their masters are often absent.

The housekeeper who learned that Charlotte had returned quickly led the heads of various fields to meet Charlotte, and after some etiquette, the housekeeper asked, "I have ordered someone to arrange the bedding for the Grand Duke, and also ordered the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, I don't know what the Grand Duke plans to eat tonight?" There are swans from Hocent, snow deer from Erosa, and qiong fish from the waters of Aleppool in the kitchen......

He reported more than a dozen dishes in a row, and it was clear that Charlotte's arrival at Wintercastle made him emotional.

Charlotte was eager to tell him that he was going back to the Mage Tower for the night, but to be honest, Winterhold's master bedroom was too spacious and the bed was too soft for Charlotte, who was used to the hardwood bed of the Mage Tower, to be a little unaccustomed to it.

But seeing the expectant eyes of these people in charge, and considering that finding the secret of Wintercastle is not expected to be solved in a short time, the words that were about to blurt out changed their taste.

"Let's take snow deer as the staple food, thank you for your hard work. ”

Hearing him answer like this, the more or less nervous and expectant look on everyone's faces turned into excitement and happiness.

Charlotte could understand their feelings. In fact, the mages and knights in charge of guarding Winterhold are all extraordinary, and although they are idle in Wintercastle and have enough time to specialize in spells and martial arts, everyone needs to be recognized for their own value.

Neither Sylvia nor Charlotte came to live in Winterhold, and even if Winterhold's management was in shifts, there would be subtle feelings such as 'am I worthless?'.

It was still early, the housekeeper prepared a hot bath for Charlotte in the bathroom of the master bedroom, and it was good to take a break occasionally, Charlotte in shorts and Elle in swimsuit soaked in the jade pool and enjoyed the maid's massage and bathing service.

As for why Elle is here, you can tell from the bastard words like 'why are you only allowed to enjoy it alone?'

As before, the maids of Wintercastle were either untidy, five or three coarse, or middle-aged, old and decrepit, and although they were impeccable in terms of etiquette and service, all in all, there was no maid of medium appearance.

At first, Charlotte thought it was strange, but one day it occurred to her that the maid who served the Lawrence couple was the same, and she accepted it with a sweet mood of anger and laughter.

"The Grand Duke seems to be in a good mood?" asked a stout maid of forty years old, boldly.

This made Charlotte stunned, and she couldn't help but touch the muscles on her face, where the muscles were rarely relaxed.

"Gollum!" replied vaguely as El, who had buried her nostrils in the water below her nostrils, at the other end of the bath. She refused the maid's scrubbing service and swam and frolicked in the bath like a child, at which point she seemed to get tired of it and played a game of bubble spitting.

"Don't talk in the water!"

"Ahh

As if feeling disturbed Charlotte's interest, the stout maid lowered her head a little uneasily.

"It's none of your business. Charlotte waved her hand and comforted, "It's better to thank you for the massage, which made my muscles and bones a lot easier." ”

"The Grand Duke is really gentle. The maid was a little shy, but because of her appearance, she didn't feel shy.

The massage continued for a while, and Charlotte, who was too relaxed, fell asleep in a daze because of the alcohol. By the time he woke up, Al had already eaten dinner, and by the time the butler had prepared the snow deer for dinner, it was nearly 9 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, he did not feel sleepy, so he put on his robe and searched for clues in Wintercastle at night.

The first thing to search for is the master bedroom, whether it's a dresser, drawers, wall clock, walls...... He searched for all possible hiding mechanisms, but as he had envisioned, there were no mechanisms in the master bedroom. He then called the butler to search all known chambers in Wintercastle, but found nothing until 2 o'clock in the evening.

There is no possible trace of the Legion of the Sleepless, just as the Legion is really just a country legend passed down by word of mouth, with no real truth.

But this can't be, because both Ramsay and Nancy have heard about this rumor. Sylvia had been living in Wintercastle for some kind of research when Icewind was founded, and Ramsay had visited Sylvia to see her do living research and mechanical construction. In fact, a series of spells, including Sylvia's Immortality, were also created during that period.

At that time, the untouched Ice Giants of the Northern Ice Fields took advantage of the weakness of the North to invade, and Sylvia sent an elite army to the north to exterminate the extremely strong Ice Giants.

This is not just a legend, as Nancy, who was closely following Icewind Castle's movements at the time, can also prove it.

According to Nancy, after Claudien's death, the empire that could barely survive collapsed in just three years, and the various forces fought each other, but the independence of Icewind Castle and Erosa, who claimed to be absolutely neutral, was not just due to some boring legitimacy or the individual strength of the leader (at the time, Sylvia was not aware that she had become the king of the roots).

You must know that at that time, the Dragon Knight Legion had been disbanded due to the death of the Knight King Claudion and the slumber of the metal Dragon King Casper, and in terms of individual strength, a series of gods such as Yvette also achieved godhood during that period, no matter how you look at it, the Northern Alliance at that time did not have an advantage.

The reason why the North was able to survive the ensuing war is also said to be because of the deterrence of the Legion of the Sleepless.

Whether it is the extermination of the Ice Giants, whose individual strength is no less than that of the dragon, or the intimidation of the major forces led by the current gods in that chaotic world, it is enough to make Charlotte extremely interested in the Insomniac Legion.

At a time when strength is insufficient, this power must be in one's own hands.

The first day of searching was fruitless, and Charlotte, lying in bed, couldn't help but feel depressed thinking about her future plans.

The maid's words today made Charlotte realize that he hadn't really laughed for a long time, and in fact, he knew in his heart that using the Mage Alliance to rescue Sylvia at this time was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

He has no confidence in the future!

Thinking about her thoughts, Charlotte couldn't help but pull out Sylvia's diary. After countless years, the diary with so many pages that it can never be used up is still new. The secrets of Sylvia's past are recorded on it, and the heartless puppet makes Charlotte can't help but think, in what environment and in what mood will the former emotionless princess of the ice lake write that diary that makes the audience pity?

Ah, because you don't have a heart, the so-called mood is not valid, is it? Just thinking about it makes Charlotte's heart as sad as if it had been rubbed with a blunt knife.

A scene came to Charlotte's mind, the blonde girl in a cold black mage robe sat in the library, the room was lined with neat shelves and dense thick leather books, and the black desk, the girl wrote that sentence in the diary - so, as Sylvia, what is the meaning of my existence?

The countless books could not bring any warmth to the girl, but only accentuated the coldness of the room, which made Charlotte feel the urge to hug her.

"I'll save you!" Charlotte swore as she held her journal, "Wait for me, Sylvia!"

At this time, the imaginary scene in my mind made a flash of lightning flash through my mind!

Library!

The secrets of the Legion of the Sleepless are likely to be in the library of Winterhold!()
