Chapter 318 Finally Released
"Miss Zoe, I wonder if you are free now. His Royal Highness William wants to talk to you in person."
Zoe looked at Galahad standing at the door, then turned back to look at everyone in the mansion.
"Isn't Grand Duke Tis very busy? I remember he said before that he won't have any free time these days." Erwin asked with a smile in the house.
"The situation is different now. Castel's gift surprised us deeply. Since Earl Hughes is so generous to his friends, the Principality of Tis will naturally cherish Castel's friendship."
Such a generous and positive admission was beyond the expectations of several people in the room. This prince really had something. After knowing that his clownish behavior was discovered, he neither got angry nor denied it directly. Instead, he shamelessly acknowledged this friend.
Although they didn't say it out loud, they couldn't help but look up to him in their hearts. No matter what the prince was thinking, at least his attitude was sincere.
"By the way, please come along, His Royal Highness William is very interested in Castel."
Zoe, Erwin and several Crusaders followed Galahad away. As for her mother-in-law, she said she was not feeling well and stayed in the mansion.
After all, she is a supernatural being, and she stayed outside for safety reasons. If the prince was going to do anything bad to them, she could provide support immediately.
This place is not far from the sea, so the mother-in-law can directly use her supernatural powers to ask the banshee for help. Ash and her team are fully armed and ready.
A whole team of Banshees wearing heavy armor and holding heavy machine guns and steam rifles can easily tear a hole in a well-lined army formation.
On the other side, Zoe and others followed Galahad and soon arrived at the prince's mansion.
This is William's private residence. Like Hughes, he is used to working in his own house. Several people met the prince in the reception room.
He had a handsome face, with deep features like a statue, and thick golden curly hair that made him look like a lion from a distance. When he saw the few people, he smiled and stood up to welcome them.
"Welcome, my guests. It's a pity that we can't meet until today. Are you here for old Connor and the others?"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he shouted outside: "Galahad!"
Soon, the door to the room opened and Connor walked in accompanied by Galahad.
"Mr. Connor!" Zoe opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.
She really didn't expect to meet Connor so soon.
The long-missing old butler looked good, wearing new clothes, and gave Zoe a curt nod.
"Mr. Connor, nice to see you again. The last time we met was at the Duke of Cohen's mansion. I went to visit him with my father. It's been many years."
Connor turned to the prince and started chatting with him in a dignified manner.
On the other side, Erwin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
First, seeing that Connor was fine, and according to the prince's words, the accompanying Crusaders were all there, so his mission was considered accomplished.
Another thing is that the prince asked Connor to come out and meet him right away, which basically confirmed that there would be no danger on this trip.
Zoe and Connor were both released by the Duke of Cohen, so it was not difficult to find out. Knowing this, the prince gave priority to releasing Connor, which was a gesture of goodwill.
The maid and the butler often use some secret gestures and they have been serving Zeus for a long time. If there is anything wrong, Connor can quietly remind them. By letting the two meet in person, it can be basically confirmed that the prince does not intend to take action against them.
It seems that the prince really intends to make friends with Castel.
With Castel's strength, this was actually the only option, but Erwin didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Yesterday he was still trying to steal the guns from them, but today his attitude completely changed, which meant that after seeing the gift, the prince immediately decided to accept Castel as his friend.
Seeing this courage, Erwin looked at the prince. He was smiling. Although he was the Grand Duke and the only noble here, he did not show any arrogance.
It was as if he had always been so approachable, as if he had been making excuses for being busy for the past few days, as if it wasn't him who was not meeting me.
He is indeed a character, Erwin thought to himself.
"So that's how it is. Mr. Connor, you actually came here with such a mission. It's a pity that I didn't believe it at that time. Alas!" The prince sighed, frowned slightly, and looked regretful. "How is Castel now? Is Earl Hughes okay?"
He looked at Zoe, and Connor also turned his head and looked at him with sharp eyes. He had been under house arrest by the prince and knew nothing about Caster's situation.
"Castel resisted the monsters' attacks. We didn't know where those monsters came from. When they saw that they couldn't take down our castle, they left on their own. We haven't seen them since then."
Connor and the prince looked at Zoe deeply and didn't speak for a while.
This statement was agreed upon by several people. The matter of Poseidon involves the Banshee, so it is not appropriate to make it public for the time being.
Moreover, it is still unknown what the church’s attitude will be towards this, so it is better to be cautious when coming into contact with these forces that possess extraordinary powers.
The prince knew that Zoe was not telling the truth, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "I see. That's great. By the way, I wrote a letter to Count Hughes."
As he spoke, he picked up a letter from the table and handed it over. "Blood Harbor has been based on commerce since ancient times. I heard that Castel has many specialties. We will definitely have a lot of cooperation in the future."
Zoe took the letter solemnly, said a few polite words to the prince, and prepared to leave.
"The airship you were on was damaged. I asked the craftsmen to try to repair it, but," the prince shrugged, "it can't fly now. I'll have it delivered to your ship later."
"Thank you so much." Zoe bowed slightly.
"Okay, then it's settled. My fleet will be visiting Castel in a while. Is there anything else you need?"
The prince said a few polite words and was about to let the group of Castel people leave, but then he was surprised to find that Zoe hesitated and took back her steps when she was about to step out of the door.
“There is something I need your help with.”
Zoe raised her head, her face full of sincerity.
"Before, there was a Castel man named Josh who came to Blood Harbor. Well, later on, there should have been a shipload of refugees from the North with him."
"Excuse me, do you have any news about him?"
