"Um?"

The old butler then noticed Livia behind Caius and frowned slightly.

"Lord Caius, this..." Caius bowed slightly with a smile on his face to express his apology again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you in advance, but isn't Viscount Natalia still short of manpower? The man I brought here has good skills and strength, so I brought him to help."

Hearing that she was mentioned, and noticing the gesture that Caius made to her when he bowed, Livia took a step forward and imitated her by bowing slightly.

The old butler looked at the black-haired young man in front of him. He had a good physique. Although the leather armor on his body was patched, it was not difficult to see that it was well-made. The two swords on his back...

A masterpiece?

The old housekeeper's eyes became serious, and he had some guesses in his mind.

"May I ask where you are from?

I can also report to him."

He calmly bowed slightly and asked the black-haired young man in front of him.

"A bounty hunter, recently arrived from Kovagr."

Livia said lightly with a smile.

Caius on the side narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two people in front of him. He had expected this. Even he was jealous of the equipment of the "witcher" who came to him and called Livia. He thought that the old butler, whose eyes were much more powerful than his, would definitely see more.

"Kovag..." Upon hearing this, the old butler frowned, and his expression changed slightly, but soon it disappeared. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Please follow me, both of you."

Clapping his hands, the old butler turned and walked slowly towards the mansion in the center of the manor.

Caius and Livia looked at each other, their eyes were calm, "Hmph..." Their eyes met, they smiled at the same time, and then followed the old butler towards the manor house.

Behind him, the guards who appeared out of nowhere closed the door again.

Walking into the magnificent mansion, Livia calmly looked around the hall which was completely different from the one he had seen before. He finally understood why Lord Marko of Kovagor wanted to return to the aristocratic circle. In comparison, a landed earl, apart from having power, lived in the slums, and a landless viscount...

I don’t know what to say.

Looking at the furniture and decorations that were exactly the same as those in modern British mansions and villas except for electrical appliances and some other things, Livia felt his brain was a little confused. He had always thought that this world was full of ups and downs, and the buildings and aesthetics were just so-so. He didn't expect that this would so quickly give him a shock.

"Well, are we the only ones here first?"

Looking at the empty hall, Caius, who was following behind the old butler, asked.

"Yes, the others haven't arrived yet.

Please take a seat, I will go upstairs to report to the Viscount first."

After explaining, the old butler stopped and bowed towards the sofa in the middle of the hall, spreading his hands, motioning Caius and Livia to sit down, then turned and walked towards the stairs to the second floor.

"You won't sit down?"

Caius naturally sat back on the snow-white sofa and asked puzzledly while looking at Livia who was still standing.

Livia came back to her senses, responded and sat down, her butt felt very soft.

Touching the sofa surface sewn with the fur of some unknown creature under her butt, Livia couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the aristocratic life.

Caius watched him touch the fur on the sofa and couldn't help but smile. "This is the fur of the Arctic Wolf in the North, which is one of the long-standing opponents of the Frostwind Territory. It is very valuable."

Cold Wind Collar?

Arctic Wolf?

This was the nth time that Livia had heard about the Cold Wind Territory from other people. It seemed that the Cold Wind Territory was very famous, as if everyone knew about it.

At this moment, suddenly two waitresses or maids with delicate features and sweet looks came to Caius and Livia holding trays, bent down and placed the trays in their hands.

Caius seemed to be used to it, and naturally picked up the silver wine glass on the tray and took a sip.

This was the first time that Livia encountered such a situation. She was stunned for a moment, then noticed Caius's actions out of the corner of her eye. She pretended to be calm, but actually picked up the wine glass on the tray with a somewhat awkward movement.

Mulled wine?

Looking at the mellow red wine in the glass, Livia thought about it, put it to her lips, and sniffed it with her nose slightly raised. The rich smell of spices came to her nose, and it was indeed mulled wine.

Livia watched as Caius finished drinking and put the glass back on the tray, then picked up the glass and drank it.

Gulung, Gulung.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Livia put the glass back on the tray beside her, and followed Caius's example to take the snow-white towel on the tray and gently wipe her mouth.

real……

Damn, it’s so luxurious!

Putting the towel back on the tray, Livia couldn't help but sigh as he watched the waitress nod slightly at him and then stand up and leave.

"how?

"You like it?"

Caius, who was standing nearby, saw him staring at the back of the waitress as she left, and said jokingly with a strange look on his face.

"ah……

No, I just didn’t expect there was mulled wine here.”

Livia turned around quickly, shook her head at him and tried to change the subject.

“Hmm…

The nobles all like to drink some mulled wine in winter."

As Caius spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face became a little heavy.

Livia just felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and was about to find another topic to change the subject when footsteps were heard on the stairs.

Livia looked up and said, "This is Viscount Natalia."

Caius beside him reminded softly.

The lady walking down the stairs had bright red hair, a beautiful and delicate face, and was wearing a light armor that was a combination of red and black. The colors looked bright, clean and tidy, adding a touch of heroism to her.

Livia couldn't help but be dazed when he saw this, "Ahem..." Caius, who stood up beside him, noticed his appearance and pretended to cough a few times to remind him.

The lady of the house walked down the stairs very neatly and gracefully, and came in front of Caius and Livia. At this time, Livia had already reacted and stood up, and her heart had regained its calm.

The old butler behind her seemed a little flustered to catch up, and stood behind her with his head down.

The azure eyes looked at the two people who stood up from the sofa, and took a closer look at the other black-haired young man.

Quite interesting.

"Caius."

she suddenly shouted.

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

Upon hearing this, Caius quickly bowed his head and saluted.

"Did you bring this?"

A clear voice asked.

"Yes, I do."

interesting……

Natalia looked at the black-haired young man behind the knight in front of her with great interest, and from time to time her eyes looked at the glove and silver ring on his right hand, as well as the two swords on his back...

"you……

Livia?"
