As she spoke, she squinted her eyes:
"Or perhaps... Viscount Lien Castel, who always prides himself on his loyalty, has harbored treachery for a long time?"
Hearing this, the old noble finally became angry:
A powerful aura belonging to Silver Moon spread out, causing Madoc beside her to stagger and nearly fall.
However, Lola, the lady, snorted lightly and a powerful aura burst forth from her as well, confronting the Old Viscount head-on.
Viscount Lien Castel looked at Lola in astonishment, slowly withdrawing his aura, his gaze somewhat inexplicable:
"I didn’t expect Miss Lola to become a Silver Moon silently. I am really curious how you managed to do that, especially since... if I am not mistaken, Miss Lola became a Starry only three years ago."
"Hmph, you don’t need to worry about that, old man."
The lady’s gaze flickered slightly and she spoke coldly.
The young and the old Viscounts confronted each other, and the tension grew more palpable.
Madoc beside them felt a headache coming on.
Further away, other nobles had already moved aside, taking detours into the Count Mansion.
The Lien Castel family and the Legris Family were among the three most powerful families in the Castel Domain, you either avoided them or steered clear.
These two families, one in the south and the other in the north, guarded their territories and were known throughout the Count Territory for their discordant relationship.
As the two Viscounts confronted each other, a disturbance arose from the canal docks at the Count Mansion.
A long boat approached slowly, and several black-clad swordsmen escorted an elderly man onto the shore.
The old man, also dressed in a black robe and leaning on a cane, seemed drowsy, yet his white hair was meticulously groomed.
Upon seeing the elderly man, other nobles instinctively cleared a path, and some at a distance started to speculate:
"It’s the Roman Fuer family! They actually showed up!"
"Isn’t Viscount Roman Fuer always in a dicey relationship with the Count Mansion due to the Star Moon War?"
"Who knows, that’s a thing of the past, maybe with a new Count, they want to mend ties with the Castel family."
"Really? But I heard that Duke Roman of the Falling Star Kingdom has been courting them, seeing as they are a branch of the Roman family, they’re even related to the Falling Star Royal Family."
"Shh, keep that to yourself, beware Roman Fuer’s privateers might burn your merchant fleet..."
The nobles whispered among themselves, and the drowsy old man reached the front of the Count Mansion.
Seeing the pale-faced elderly man, Madoc felt the pressure, but pulled himself together and bowed respectfully:
"Viscount Roman Fuer, welcome to North Port."
Viscount Roman Fuer nodded slightly and didn’t say much.
He didn’t even glance at the Lien Castel family and the Legris Family, but instead, stepped into the Count Mansion.
Viscount Lien Castel and Viscountess Legris exchanged a glance, snorted softly, and stopped confronting each other. They both stepped into the Count Mansion as well.
Seeing this, the other nobles also breathed a sigh of relief and entered one after another.
In the years when Count of Castel was absent, the three Viscounts were the most influential forces in Castel Territory, each a towering presence that the other nobles had to look up to.
Thus, all three Viscounts of the Castel Territory had arrived.
