The junction of the North Harbor with the land, the entrance to the Castel Bridge.

Horse-drawn carriages of all kinds lined up in long queues, orderly inspected by the guards, and then drove one after another across the bridge to the North Port, either with goods from all over the country, or with passengers and friends.

Suddenly, on the emergency officer road on the side of the bridge, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a gorgeous carriage carved with the Black Eagle logo on its side galloped from the north of the continent.

The carriage stopped at the checkpoint, and the guards hurriedly greeted them respectfully, and then they saw a handsome and elegant red-haired elf poking his head out and greeting the guards slightly.

"It's the Castel family's carriage!"

"Redhead...... Genie...... Could it be the red man next to the Earl, the fire elf named Sebas? ”

"I heard that he once made a great name in East Yunet, and he is a powerful transcendent!"

Merchants and passers-by looked curiously at the magnificent carriage that was respectfully welcomed by the guards, and for a moment there was a lot of discussion.

At this moment, Sebas, who was on top of the carriage, sat down again, and continued to hurry towards the city in the carriage.

Castel's coat of arms was unimpeded, and with the respectful salute of the patrolling guards and the respectful avoidance of passers-by, the carriage made its way to a halt in front of the Earl's Court.

Then, Sebas leaped forward, gracefully jumped out of the carriage, and walked briskly towards Fuchu.

"Lord Sebas-sama......"

Seeing the elven butler approaching him, the maids and waiters saluted respectfully.

Sebas nodded and asked:

"Where's the Earl?"

"Lord Count is in his study, discussing with Lord Viscount Leon Castel."

The waiter replied respectfully.

"Viscount Lean-Castel? To put it this way...... The censorship of the southern aristocracy is over? That guy is back too? ”

Sebas raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.

Slipping the reins of the carriage into the attendant's hand, Sebas hurried to the earl's study.

And as soon as he entered the hall of the mansion, he saw a familiar black cat lying lazily in the doorway, basking in the sun while eating small dried fish specially prepared by the maid.

"Yo! Sebas, you can't hurry up at this speed, I've been back for two days, and you've only come back slowly. ”

Seeing the fire elf, the black cat burped and greeted proudly.

Sebas glanced at it:

"The road in the north is not smoother than in the south, and the distance is far, so it's normal to come back a little later. Even such trivial things have to be compared to me, but your cat is becoming more and more like a real cat. ”

"Meow! What about cats? Swim freely, do whatever you want, eat well, sleep well, be carefree, and be much happier than humans. ”

Ness said lazily scratching the itch.

Sebas thinks so:

"Pets, that's true."

Nice:......

Choked by Sebas, it was about to have a seizure, but quickly endured it again, and said angrily:

"Hmph, hmph, for the sake of the face that you have to work together in the next few months, today the cat master is not as knowledgeable as you...... Well, go to your master, Lord Charlotte said, and tell you to go to her if she sees your good dog returning. ”

Sebastian: ......

Thinking of his master's urgent call, he didn't bother to continue arguing with the black cat Nice, and rushed across the hall to the study on the second floor.

In the study, Charlotte was being presented to Leon Castel, and Sebas was waiting outside, but Charlotte beckoned to him, motioning for him to come in, and continued to communicate with the old viscount of the Lean family:

"Your Excellency, I have testified to your loyalty, but ...... The southern aristocracy is only a small part of Castel, the west and north are the main ones, so please continue to work hard. ”

Viscount Lean-Castel hurriedly saluted:

"Rest assured, Lord Earl, I, the Leon Castel family, will do my best to assist you in completing the review of your territory!"

Charlotte nodded and said:

"I believe that Your Excellency can do a good job, and please continue to work hard in the future."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but yawn and continued:

"The censorship is still heavy and arduous, the nobility of the realm is not entirely willing to accept it, and there are neighboring lords outside of Castel, even in the north...... In the coming days, Sebas will be solely responsible for the follow-up of the review, your future work, and direct contact with him. ”

Viscount Lean-Castel glanced at the fire elves on the side, hesitated slightly, and saluted Charlotte respectfully:

"I obey your commands...... Lord Earl. ”

"Well, Your Excellency, the review plan has a long way to go, and it requires concerted efforts and full efforts, and when the dust settles, I will naturally not forget everything that Leon Castel has done, and those who have meritorious service will naturally be duly rewarded. Next, I still need to tell Sebas something, if I don't have anything else to report, please go and rest first. ”

Charlotte said as she took a sip of refreshing milk coffee.

"Yes, Lord Count."

The old viscount saluted Charlotte again and respectfully retired.

Viscount Leon Castell leaves, leaving only Charlotte and Sebas in the study, while Charlotte motions for Shirley, the head maid who serves her closely, to close the door.

Looking at Charlotte, Sebas's heart moved slightly:

"Master, you are ......"

"Sebas, I'm afraid I'll be asleep for a while."

Charlotte gets straight to the point.

"Sleeping? Master, is it the one I think I am sleeping? ”

Sebas's heart jumped and he asked.

Charlotte nodded:

"Yes, the same sleep you want, and the same is true for calling you back urgently, and while I sleep, Castel needs someone I trust to be in charge. I don't fully trust the nobles in the realm, and I don't think there's a more suitable person than you. ”

Affirmed by Charlotte, Sebas suddenly felt a burst of joy, but in addition to joy, he also carried worry:

"Master, how long do you need to sleep? In recent days, I have found a lot of traces of the Blood Demon Cultists in the north, and there are even some suspected descendants of the Ness Clan, who are probably plotting something......"

Charlotte shook her head:

"I'm not sure how long I'll be asleep, maybe a month or two, or three or four months at most."

"I've also informed Ness of this, and after I'm asleep, it'll use illusion magic to disguise itself as me and sit at the Earl's Court. However, all it can do is disguise, and the next person who really needs to preside over the overall situation is you. ”

"I already know about the activities of the Blood Demon Order, and this matter is a bit complicated, and it may also involve the infighting of the Ness Clan...... I also have pawns in the Ness Clan, and before I fall asleep, I'll tell you how to contact each other. ”

Charlotte explained everything she had done after she fell asleep, while Sebas looked solemn and respectfully wrote it down.

And after ordering the follow-up work of the territory, she remembered something and said:

"Oh, by the way, one more thing, to do my sleep safely, I will sleep in the Earl's Court secret room, during the sleep, to make sure that no one disturbs me, and at the same time to ensure safety."

"Sleeping safe work?"

Sebas was stunned.

As if thinking of something, he suddenly moved in his heart and nodded:

"Oh, I see, I happen to know a nice magician who can be customized urgently, and you're absolutely satisfied."

"Customized?"

Charlotte was a little confused.

Looking at Sebas's confident appearance, she became more and more sleepy and had no intention of asking, nodded and said:

"You do something, I don't worry, go and let it go."
