In the hallway within Black Lily Castle, it appeared that several people were walking and passing by. But instead of greeting each other briefly and passing by, the two sides stopped walking and faced each other.
On the left, Isabella was followed by Theo and her mother. Theo's mother, Jenny, was wearing a maid outfit like the one used by Isabella. On the right side, Camellia was followed by Tania. As for Tania's father, the man had been moved to a house near the Kun family's residence.
“Good day, Miss Camellia.” Isabella bowed politely, a smile flashed across her face. Jenny and Theo also followed him and saluted.
“Isabella ..” muttered Camellia when she saw that mysterious and deceitful beautiful Succubus. Turning his gaze to the two people behind Isabella, he asked, “They?”
Realizing that Camellia did not recognize the two, Isabella smiled brighter. He glanced towards Theo before looking back at Dhampir in front of him.
“Hehehe .. because Mr. Ciel did not tell, I have no right to say anything to you, Miss Camellia.”
“You.” Camellia's red iris looked at Isabella dissatisfied, but did not continue.
“Don't you have to drop Tania off to the study room to read and understand the basics of Alchemist alongside 19 others?” isabella asked with a triumphant expression.
“...” Camellia just stared at the woman in silence.
Meanwhile, Theo and Tania, a 12-year-old boy who originally lived a simple life really do not understand what happened there. The two looked at each other with innocent looks. Realizing that they were both followers of Ciel, the two smiled as greeting introductions.
“Then I'll go drop Tania off,” Camellia said with a slight bow before leaving with Tania following her.
Meanwhile, Isabella's smile slowly faded away. His expression became cold. Realizing that Camellia had left, she muttered softly.
“You can rest on your laurels now, but I will also soon follow ... become one of Prince Ciel's dearest concubines.”
A cold and ominous glint emanated from the woman's eyes.
...***...
In front of a giant snake statue, Ciel seemed to stand up and nod a few times. Behind the young man looked many knights lined up and waited in silence. Dare not say anything.
This appearance is similar to ‘Shadowflame Great Serpent’ .. interesting.
Ciel nodded once again. It is said that the statue in front of him was made to honor the mount and the fellow of the first city lord. The monster was named the Greenvine Great Serpent, the creature that lived in the forest near the city was first built.
The story said, the city lord back then who was a level 4 demon fought with that snake, who was also a level 4 Demonic Beast. The fight took place over three days and three nights.
The first city lord assigned by the Marquis at that time did not want the construction of the city to fail because of the Demonic Beast. Meanwhile, the Greenvine Great Serpent itself was angry because the hunting area that could be said to be the front yard of his house was made a city so that its habitat was narrowed.
After a three-day, three-night fight, due to some miracle, the two became partners instead. They understand each other and live in the same area. Both partners in developing the area and protecting it.
“Sadly, such a good thing should be lost because of greedy and useless offspring.”
Ciel shook his head lightly. Salute the heroic attitude of the first city lord as well as pity because his descendants had completely been wiped out from the world.
“Good. Let's get into the castle.”
After saying that, Ciel turned towards the path that led to a castle on a hill. Compared to the castle in Black Lily City, this was indeed smaller perhaps even less than half, just that.
Since the castle is divided into several buildings, they also have different functions. Actually, in addition to the main building used for living, there are also buildings that can be used as offices, food warehouses, armories, and so on.
Only, within the massive Black Lily Castle, Ciel was usually more active in the main building. While other buildings can be said to be very quiet except for a few warehouses that must be guarded or a place to stay while the knights in charge of guarding the area around the castle.
In contrast, in Greenscale Castle, the main building was vacated, while other buildings functioned as they should. The reason was simple, only regional leaders or designated nobles could live there. The knights in this city still did not dare to disobey orders for fear of the severe punishment that might be imposed if caught.
Ciel without hesitation directly entered the main building of Greenscale Castle. Because of the surrounding environment, he felt that the air in this place was slightly better than Black Lily City.
“If there is a need, please tell this slave, Mr.”
After entering the castle, a maid immediately approached Ciel then greeted politely. The young man looked at the maid then nodded lightly.
“Please make a refreshing drink. It would be better if the drink was a typical product of Greenscale City. I want to try tasting it.”
“According to your order, Tuanku.”
Seeing the waiter leave, Ciel immediately looked back. Outside the main castle, there was a line of knights lined up neatly waiting for his order.
“Besides Knight Ronald, others can disperse. For Knight Ronald .. please follow me.”
“Good, Master!” exclaimed the sturdy middle-aged knight with a respectful expression.
The two then entered the main building of Greenscale Castle. With the guidance of the maid, the two of them arrived at the study. Without hesitation Ciel immediately sat on the leader's seat and then invited.
“Knight Ronald ... please sit!”
Hearing Ciel's remark, the middle-aged man nervously replied, “B-Good, Mister!”
Ronald was the leader of all the knights in the Greenscale area. In front of his men, he would continue to be firm as it became a benchmark for them. Of course, it was also because of his pride.
Merely, when alone with the figure known as the Mad Prince, he became extremely nervous. After all, who would have thought that a figure considered trash suddenly went crazy and burned the entire city complete with its inhabitants.
He is younger than my son, but he really exudes a terrible pressure!
Ronald thought as he looked at Ciel sitting opposite to him. The young man looked so relaxed and indifferent. Ronald remembered his arrival in the morning.
Riding the ferocious-looking black Wyvern, made the knights unable to move due to the strange magic, staring at them all with a condescending expression.
“Knight Ronald ..”
“I-Yes, My Lord?” ronald answered nervously.
“The knightly teachings you led .. are too weak.”
Ciel was not insulting at all, but was stating the facts. Compared to the ranks of the five Viscount knights, they were fairly weak. Not to mention when compared to the ranks of the knights of Black Lily City that Ciel had upgraded for one season.
After thinking about it, it was likely that Black Orchid City also had a knight array equal to Greenscale City. Ciel could only sigh deeply.
Since both of them were also areas that Ciel personally managed, there needed to be a change!
Yes ... there needs to be a total change plan!
Sensing Ciel's cold gaze, Ronald sweated profusely. For some reason, the middle-aged man felt that a major event was coming to change the entire Greenscale City.
Ciel then took out a stack of paper and placed it in front of Ronald. The young man smiled casually. As if it was the teacher who gave the assignment to his student, he said,
“Read everything and understand.”
