Upon returning to Karin Castle, as Swain had predicted, the retinue brought by Caterina was already going mad. At first, they were worried that the emperor would be angry if the princess did not return to the palace at such a late hour, but that would be at most a reprimand for them by Alexander, and when there was no sign of Caterina after nine o'clock in the evening, the court attendants had to start worrying about whether something had happened to the eldest princess.

If such a thing happens, those newspapers in the imperial capital will definitely dig up the news and inside the inside without regard for their lives, and when such a scandal spreads throughout the imperial capital and even the whole empire, they are the biggest sinners, ready-made scapegoats, whether it is Alexander or the cabinet, they will not let them go.

The frantic attendants didn't think much about it at all, and directly asked the people who stayed behind in Karin Castle in the thirteenth class to ask for Her Royal Highness the princess, because of their noise, Artemis, who had been meditating alone in the room, was also alarmed. Although Artemis tried to explain to those people that this matter had nothing to do with Lesson 13, in their opinion, since this place was the territory of Lesson 13, then Lesson 13 must be responsible for the disappearance of the Celestial Princess, and it was even difficult to say that the Celestia was hidden by these guys who were inextricably linked to the Ministry of the Interior.

When Swain drove back to Karin Castle, he saw the two men confronting each other.

Seeing the royal carriage appear, the retinue brought by Caterina finally breathed a sigh of relief and was quiet for a while, and they looked forward to finding Her Royal Highness from the carriage.

On the other side, Atmiss also gasped, at least Swain showed up, and she didn't have to continue to entangle with these troublesome guys.

Artemis stepped forward quickly, but as she approached the carriage, her steps slowed and her expression became solemn. She sensed the emptiness of Swain's magic, unlike Sven, who was not good at mana perception, Artmis's perception was particularly sensitive, and when she first met Swain, she felt something that Manfred didn't even notice.

Looking at Swain's tattered white shirt, Artmis's eyes were full of doubts, Swain looked as if he had fought with someone, and he was not lightly injured.

Who did he do it with? No one in the imperial capital can force this guy to be so embarrassed, can it be ......

Thinking of that possibility, Artmis's face suddenly changed.

"Did you and Manfred do it?" her breathing suddenly became rapid, and if Swin and Manfred did it, it would mean that she was one step closer to Yang's whereabouts.

Swain shook his head, although there was some weakness in his indifferent eyes, his momentum was still there when facing Artmis.

"It's complicated, I'll tell you later. He pointed to the carriage behind him and said to Artmis, "Your Highness the Princess is tired now, go and prepare a set of clothes, and let the servants prepare a bathtub and hot water." ”

Artemis glanced hesitantly at the carriage, she could faintly see Caterina, but Princess Celestia didn't seem to want to show her face, hiding in an invisible corner outside the window.

"What's wrong with Her Royal Highness Princess?" At this moment, the female officer brought by Caterina walked over, her face was rigid, especially when she looked at Swain, there was obvious hostility in her eyes, "We need to know the whole thing, and then we can report it to His Majesty the Emperor, you should be able to understand us, Your Excellency Count Jericho?"

Swain looked at each other coldly, these court attendants always have a natural sense of superiority when treating nobles, even if they are much lower than ordinary nobles in terms of status, but with the status of the emperor's proximity, sometimes the nobles and even some officials of the foreign dynasty have to smile at them with a shy face.

Of course, Sven, as the head of the thirteenth section, even if it is only temporary, does not have to look at the faces of these people. However, perhaps Alexander's dislike for Swain had spread, and these people were not very afraid of Swain.

"This matter will be dealt with by our thirteenth section first, and if you want to report back to His Majesty the Emperor, the telegraph room in the castle can be lent to you. There was no expression on his face as always, and Sven's attitude made the female officer stagnate, "Now, ma'am, please get out of the way, I'm going to send my guests to rest." ”

The female officer's face twitched, and she glared at Swain, as if they had some deep hatred.

"I must see Her Royal Highness first!" Thinking of Swain's strength before, the female official was still a little uneasy, but she refused to give in like this, "I must confirm the safety of Her Highness." ”

Swain frowned, he didn't want Caterina to be seen by others, if that disheveled appearance appeared in the eyes of these guys, then all kinds of rumors would fly all over the sky.

However, before Swain could say no, Caterina in the carriage spoke first.

"Come over here, Ms. McAvoy. Caterina reached out of the window and beckoned to the female officer, "I'm fine, please don't embarrass Count Jericho." ”

The female officer paused slightly, glanced at Swain as if warning, and then walked towards the window, and as soon as she took a step, Caterina suddenly added, "Although he was very rough just now." ”

Katerina's voice wasn't very loud, but at least a few people around the carriage could hear it.

The female officer McAvoy looked at Swain with even more fierce eyes, as if she was going to kill him alive, and Artemis also turned a puzzled gaze on Swain, obviously suspicious. As for Swain himself, his face was already black.

"Your Highness the Princess. Lady McAvoy walked to the window of the car and looked into the carriage, although Caterina deliberately sat in the corner, but at such a close distance, Officer McAvoy could still see the appearance of the eldest princess at this time, "This, what's going on, oh my God, what did you encounter! Is this this person, is this person doing it to you?"

With a loud shout from the female officer, her murderous eyes completely locked on Sven, as if she was going to eat him alive. Of course, Swain didn't care, there was still no expression on his face.

"Rest easy, Ms. McAvoy. Katerina's tone was calm, not quite what the female officer had imagined, "It's not that far. ”

The lady McAvoy breathed a sigh of relief, if the eldest princess was really humiliated here, then Alexander would definitely not swallow it, such a shame was enough to discredit the royal family for a long time, and they would definitely be blamed accordingly, and they would be driven out of the palace of Tiamat, and the royal estate in the north would die, which was already the best ending, and if it was bad, it was not impossible to be secretly executed to avoid the news being exposed.

However, Swain had a bad premonition from Caterina's words.

"However, for the rest of the work, the young Earl did not resist his impulse, and did it all. ”

Sven's face was so dark that it almost melted into the night.

"Of course, I don't blame him, except for being a little rough, he is still a gentleman. ”

Can the words rough and gentleman be used here at the same time?

Artemis couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"That's enough!" Sven finally couldn't hold back any longer, though he couldn't refute it, because what Caterina said was almost the truth, but at least he could interrupt Caterina's words.

"Count Jericho-" Officer McAvoy looked at Swain's eyes almost on fire, and when she pronounced his name, it was almost as if she was chewing Swain's bones, one tone after another, slowly grinding out between her teeth, "I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor truthfully, I hope you are mentally prepared!"

Swain didn't say anything, not even looking at the McAvoy lady.

"And you, Your Highness the Princess. She turned her gaze to Caterina again, "Your Majesty was against your travel, and now that such a thing has happened, how can you explain it to Your Majesty......?"

"You're going to let her go back like this now?" Sven said coldly, "Go back like this?"

The McAvoy lady was stunned, and as soon as she was about to open her mouth to retort, Swain continued.

"At this time after nine o'clock in the night, in the western suburbs where a great war has just taken place, are you sure that you will take Her Royal Highness the princess at this time and this place through the dangerous suburban roads in the dark night, and return to the Tiamat palace district?"

Swain didn't look back at Officer McAvoy, but Artmis, who was standing beside him, could see that Sven's eyes had become very cold.

"I don't think I need to point you to the location of the telegraph room, do I?"

The female officer snorted coldly, walked away with a stinky face, and returned to the middle of the entourage.

There was a laugh from the carriage.

"Quite a show," Caterina teased her voice came from the carriage, "Chief of the Thirteenth Division, Your Excellency Count Jericho?"

"Be honest with me, too!" Swain let out a low growl, which really startled the innocent Artemia, it was the first time she had seen the normally moody Swain lose his temper so much.

"Advanced castle. Artemis could tell that Swain was suppressing her anger, and she looked at the eldest princess in the carriage again, and then Caterina was quiet, and it seemed that even the princess was quite afraid of the angry Swain.

The carriage slowly drove into the castle under Swain's command, and Artemis instructed the maids to bring towels and blankets and drape them over the eldest princess, and then a group of maids carried the eldest princess into the castle.

After Princess Celestia entered the castle, Swain also stepped out of the carriage, and Artemis walked up to him and handed him a black coat with a complicated expression.

"Today's thing. Artemis stared into Swain's eyes, and although he didn't know why, Artemis did sense that Swain wasn't so cold tonight. "Can you tell me?"

Swain draped his coat over his body, then turned his face slightly and glanced at Artmis.

"I know you're going to ask, it's impossible for you not to ask, give me the thirteenth lesson, and come to be my subordinate yourself, pay so much price, and even do the thing you hated the most in the past, isn't that it?"

"Yang's whereabouts, this is something you have to know. ”

Atmiss took a deep breath and told herself that she had to be mentally prepared.

"Our agreement should still be valid, right?"

"It worked. Swain looked at the night sky, the moon phase tonight was between the new moon and the first quarter, and it wasn't very bright, "I didn't kill him, and I didn't plan to do so all along." ”

Artmis's pupils couldn't help but shrink, it seemed that today's matter was even more serious than she thought, Yang had already appeared, just around the perimeter of this castle, but she passed by her brother.

"He ......," Artemis opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Artmis. Swain suddenly called Atmis' name.

This made the heir of the Hecate family stunned, Swain never seemed to call her that, and even if he called her by name, he would definitely add the title of "Miss".

"What would you do if Yang wasn't Yang anymore?"

Artemis looked at Swain in a daze, and Sven's words immediately made her have bad associations, especially when she thought of Manfred, she felt a chill down her spine.

"What do you mean, what do you mean...... Could it be that Yang he ......"

"Your brother," Swain sighed, not knowing whether it was true or false, "it's not the brother you know anymore, physically, psychologically. You're afraid you'll have to be mentally prepared to face a very different Yang. ”

Artemis slumped to the ground.

"No, no, Yang, Yang was actually turned into that kind of terrible monster by Eman Fred...... Why, you monster really don't even have any emotion left?"

"You should have known. ”

"Yang, Yang...... Woowoowoo...... Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't do my duty as a sister......"

Sven looked at Artmis, who was sitting on the ground, crying and shouting, with a strange look in his eyes, even if Yang became a vampire, Artmis's reaction was a little too much, right?

"Don't be so sad, although there will be a lot of inconvenience, as long as you don't deliberately show it, he is still no different from ordinary people in appearance. Of course, first of all, you have to get Yang to give up the desire to continue to oppose me like this. ”

"Huh?" Atmiss was stunned, his eyes blurred with tears, as he looked at Swain, "W-What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand?" Swain's eyes were even more weird, "If you can convince him not to cause me trouble, I can let him go, because I don't have the energy to take care of his affairs right now, but I don't think it's too much for you to carry out my orders wholeheartedly in the affairs of Lesson 13." ”

"Wait, wait, that's not what I'm asking. Artemis quickly wiped away a handful of tears, snorted and asked, "Yang, Yang's appearance is no different from that of a normal person......?" No, it won't ......."

Atmiss was gesticulating, at least Swain couldn't understand what she was doing.

"Do you grow those strange things? than, like tentacles and the like......

"Did you misunderstand me?"

"Huh?" Atmiss stopped his rambling gesture and stared blankly at Sven.

"I mean, Yang was turned into a vampire by Manfred, do you understand it as something else?"

"Huh? ah...... Ahh

But, vampire - not as bad as she thought it would be, but if Yang turned into something like that......

At least the cute face was still intact - she comforted herself in her heart.
