Chapter XVII: The Viscount's Conspiracy
The small town of Saya, the castle of the Viscount.
It had been five days since Lilith had been at the castle, and the Viscountess was very fond of this beautiful, innocent and poor girl when she first saw her, so she kept her by her side and was particularly fond of her. Although she aroused the jealousy of many maids, her years of experience in working in taverns, coupled with the red envelopes given to the housekeeper by the tavern owner, made it impossible for this group of maids who no one paid attention to to her to frame her.
Tonight, there are many adventurers in the castle, and although Lilith wants to find out, she can't find out the details because of the strict rules of the mansion.
Viscount Wayne, one of the few nobles in the vicinity, gathered the nearby nobles to prepare for a grand ball.
The gates of the castle were wide open to greet the men who had traveled and adventured, and many aristocratic girls wore light gauze silk hats and covered their faces with the down and feather folding fans in their hands, chatting quietly with their companions next to them.
The stocky Viscount Wayne held the wine glass in his hand, the scarlet liquid rippling from side to side in the glass, and with his large disgusting face, he glanced at Edro, the leader of the Underworld Adventure Group. "Start the operation in 5 days, and I will have 5 knights and 100 soldiers with you. Although Arthur is the son of Storm Arin, he has no talent for cultivation, and his brain has been bad since he was a child, and I don't want to see him. ”
"Mr. Arin has been dead for many years, but he still has some place in the Adventurers' League, and he is someone I respect. Lord Viscount, we made a promise that I would not harm Baron Arthur's life. ”
"Of course, Yalin is a baron personally rewarded by the king, and a few days ago, the envoy of the royal capital specially inquired about his current situation. I don't want to be charged with killing a nobleman, as long as he disappears for a while, I can release him when I have dealt with the specifics of the Sith Territory. Captain Adero, don't forget my father's kindness to you. ”
Several knights in light armor on the left and right looked at Adero with a slight mockery, waiting for his reply.
Lilith stood beside Madame and looked at Viscount Wayne on the balcony in the distance, which was the best place in the whole castle to see all the things going on in the castle, and seemed to be plotting something, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart.
Lady Anne was chatting with several nobles next to her, and suddenly noticed that Lilith looked a little strange. Asked in a low voice, "Lilith, are you not feeling well?"
"No, it's just that Madame, I wonder why there are so many adventurers in the castle. Lilith said with a smile.
Anne shook her head and glanced at the fat man in the distance with some disgust. "Self-proclaimed clever fool, who knows what he wants to do, Lilith has a lot of nice men here, I'll introduce you to it later. ”
"Thank you, ma'am. ”
Although the two women haven't been together for too long, judging from the past few days. Lady Anne is indeed a rare elegant and touching aristocratic woman, and she and the short and fat Wayne are not worthy of each other at all. The husband and wife did not get along very well, and Lady Anne had not had sex with her husband since the birth of two daughters.
Although he is in his 40s this year, he is very well maintained, and he looks no more than 35.36 years old. The eldest daughter went to the magic union of the royal capital to practice magic with an excellent archmage under the help of her grandfather, Earl Jennings, and the second daughter was 13 years old this year and followed her grandmother to learn etiquette.
As an earl, Jennings married his beloved youngest daughter to Wayne because of his years of vassalage, but he never fell in love with this stupid and conceited man, and when the child was sensible, he took his granddaughter to receive a noble education.
Wayne also knew what was going on and started to spend a lot of time drinking. Most of the castle's maids had affairs with him, and many of the women were even proud. Madame Anne is also a noble lady of the Earl's Court, so she naturally knows the situation, but she has always turned a blind eye.
That's why she likes Lilith so much when she first meets her.
Both of them have their own bottom lines, and no one touches them.

The ball was held in the central square of the castle, the fountain of the image of the goddess was sprayed with clear water, the bands on both sides played beautiful notes, and the noble gentlemen walked with smiles to the place where the ladies gathered in the distance, and looked at the adventurers who were eating and drinking in the distance.
Barbarians who can only fight and kill, these are the words that all aristocratic men hide in their hearts, but they never mock them for the sake of their own image. The other party is off-road and brutal, so as to reflect their elegance.
There is an inherently chasm between the aristocracy and the commoners. The temperament of the aristocracy naturally needs this group of people to accompany them.
"Damn, look at this group of fake men still dare to look at me like this, find a chance to teach them a good lesson. The straight-tempered Oude crushed the delicate glass in his hand and began to play with the food on the table.
"Don't make trouble, this is the Viscount's Castle, we are hired people, we must save some face. A woman next to her reassured.
"I see, Rose. Oude said angrily.
The rest of the companions sitting on the ground looked straight at the group of elegant young ladies with their eyes watering. "Ah, Ode. You see if the maid next to the viscountess is the young lady you haven't thought about these days. ”
Oude put down the food in his hand and looked at the very center of the noble lady's circle. "My spring is back. ”
He walked towards Lilith despite the dissuasion of his companions. There are many beautiful and moving aristocratic ladies in the Miss circle, they are young, elegant, and even those who are not beautiful look moving under the background of aristocratic temperament. The young and handsome Oude looks even more wild with his flamboyant hair. "Beautiful Lady Anne, may I please a beautiful young lady for a dance. Oude got down on one knee and the bars on either side of his neckline told everyone that he was a LV4 professional.
Lady Anne, who sat in the middle of the crowd, smiled gracefully, admiring the young man's courage and strength. "Yes, but young man, you have to get this young lady to agree. ”
"Of course, ma'am. Oude pretended to sweep the crowd, and the noble ladies looked a little nervous and eager to push each other behind their backs, almost tearing the elegant faces on their faces.
"Madame, I would like to choose this maid by your side. ”
"I, sir, you are mistaken, I am a maid next to Madame, and I am not qualified to dance. Lilith pointed at herself, incredulous.
In the swan pile, picking an ugly duckling was indeed unpleasant, and the noble ladies glanced at the young maid angrily, and then chatted in a low voice with the people next to them.
"Go, Lilith, it's fate. Anne said with a smile.
Lilith nodded helplessly, and Ode smiled at Lady Anne. Gracefully reaching out, he stepped into the center of the crowd with Lilith.
