When Richard and his party arrived at the Archduke of Glya's domain, the city of Gardlin, it was already noon a week later.

Ever since Ink Shadow confessed to Richard under Will's coercion and inducement. Along the way, Will never spoke to his father again.

And after more than a day of mental struggle, Richard also decided to bring his two children back to Ivey Province, as for the things needed for the development of their homeland...... If there was really no way, Richard decided to apply to the Council of Elders for a loan with a high interest rate......

After that, the father and son reached a preliminary reconciliation.

"Stop, where are you from, who are you?!"

When Richard and Will arrived outside Blackthorn, the vigilant guards drew their weapons and aimed them at them.

Because, Richard them...... It's weird.

In the past, guests who came to Blackthorn Castle would at least pack up their appearance, but they ...... They are like a bunch of homeless people who have gathered out of nowhere!

Of course, Richard knew what the guards were thinking, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh and look at his child Will with resentment......

If he hadn't been in a hurry to see his sister and brother, would he be in such a hurry?

Waving his hand to stop Chiyo Hattori, who wanted to pull out his katana and give a knife to these guards, who obviously looked down on people, and Will, who completely lost his mind and wanted to break in directly, Richard tried to squeeze a smile from his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your master, a friend of the Grand Duke of Greia. Trouble to bring him a message, and tell him that his friend, Richard, is here. ”

"A friend of the Grand Duke of Greia?"

The guard had a strange expression on his face, and then he looked at the other guard beside him, who looked back with the same helplessness.

"I'm sorry, please come back in a few days, Grand Duke Glia seems to have left Sicily these days because of some things. If you're not in a hurry, please wait a while in Gardlin...... Rest assured, we have some of the best hotels in Rome, as well as entertainment facilities. ”

Despite not knowing the origin of Richard and his party, and not knowing whether what Richard said was true or false, the guards still faithfully performed their duties.

Well, indeed, the quality is really good, it's just ......

Richard and Will glanced at each other, and there was a tacit exchange of ideas between father and son. Then, Richard asked cautiously.

“...... We have come to Archduke Gloria because of a very important matter...... If he is not there, please tell us which butler is staying at the castle and administering the territory?"

Richard was waiting for a reply from the guards, once he said that the name was not Spiegel. That means that Gloya has already gone to Rome with forces loyal to him......

If that happens, it's going to be very bad. For Richard also did not know if Geria had learned everything that had happened in Rome.

Even though Gloria was a legendary powerhouse, he couldn't stand up to Caesar, who had become the patron saint of Rome!

Although Richard had never met Grea, he ...... Gloya was an important part of his plan...... Whether it's before, or now......

At the very least, one more distraction force from Caesar would be very helpful for the rise of the Holy Family!

However, the guard's answer was completely unexpected by the father and son Richard and Will!

“...... Well...... Don't you know that before the Grand Duke of Glia left Sicily, he gave the power of his lord to his daughter, our Miss Akasha (who always called Akasha to the outside world...... Oh, by the way, according to Spiegel's butler's orders, we should call her Mistress by now!"

Akasha, the hostess, Glia's ten-year-old daughter?

This...... What's going on? But one thing is certain......

"Oh yes, as for Spiegel's steward, he's in charge of managing the realm right now. If you are looking for the Grand Duke of Gloria, it is really urgent, and I can convey to him the message of your arrival. ”

The guard seemed to remember something, and added. This made the Richard father and son, who were about to come to the previous conclusion, puzzled again......

Spiegel didn't leave here, so ......

Richard winked at Will, meaning to wait until he left the place to discuss the matter about Limon.

Will regained a little sense of his senses at the moment, he glanced at the tall, hard outer walls of the Black Thorn Castle with a blank face, and finally nodded to his father.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his child had finally calmed down, and then smiled and nodded to the guards.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if we come here, we're just here to pick up the Grand Duke...... Learning for children only. ”

Richard naturally ignores the fact that his children, Vera and Lemon, have come to Blackthorn and become hostages.

The guard nodded knowingly, and shook his head with pity as he looked at Richard's tired appearance, which had obviously come all the way and rarely rested.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to tell you...... At the beginning of this month, when Miss Akasha took over the castle, Spiegel's butler invited all the outsiders, including all the students of the Grand Duke of Grea, out of the castle!If I guess correctly, your children must be on their way home!"

"What?!"

At this moment, neither Richard nor Will can continue to be calm!

If the guards hadn't deceived them, it would mean that more than half a month ago, Lemon and Vera had left Blackbra Castle......

So, where will they be?

Gardlin City?

Messina?

Or did you just miss them and have already arrived in Rome?

Or is it ......

Richard tried his best to avoid thinking about the bad place, but Will couldn't help it, his breathing gradually became heavy, and his previous calmness and unfazed attitude were completely inextricable on his face!

Only for his family, Will will leave behind those disguises that his father taught him!

"Hmm...... Can you tell me your child's name? After all, we're always on duty here, and once we've heard their names, maybe we know some clues. ”

Seeing Richard's anxious appearance, the guard hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Richard knew he was kind, and he and Will needed it......

So, with some pain, Richard handed the guard a small bag of Ole, about a dozen of them—finding his child now was the most important thing.

And the reason for this guard Ole is to let them help as much as they can...... What if it helps?

Now Richard just wants to find his children!

And Will is the same, he just wants to find Limon and Vera......

"My daughter's name is Vera, my son...... It's called Limon!"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a crisp sound of coins crashing......

The guard looked at Richard in shock, and after a while, he opened his mouth and cursed......

"Young Master Li Meng, that's our mistress's fiancé!"
