"Lord Luxius, Lord Fox, the Lion Heart Duchy requests your presence," said an elderly housekeeper, approaching Luxius and Fox with courteous demeanor.
Luxius glanced at him and realized that this man had been specifically sent by the Lion Heart Duchy to hasten their departure.
He didn't insist on staying; instead, he saw it as a direct opportunity to clarify his stance to the Lion Heart. Thus, he simply followed Fox upstairs.
"Baron Helois, please wait here in the hall for a moment." Another housekeeper bowed his head, and after seating Kael, the maids around began to serve refreshments.
As they settled Kael, most of the people chose to leave the scene, leaving only one housekeeper standing by, ready to serve Kael at any moment.
Kael bowed his head in thought, What does this mean?
A show of force? No, it didn't seem like it!
Just as he was pondering this, he heard the sound of horse hooves from outside. After taking a sip of tea, he saw a familiar figure stride in.
