Spicy Noblewoman

The Flame Blade, radiating intense heat, veered off course mid-flight and struck the Red Armor Knight's arm.

Saine had originally aimed for the Red Armor Knight's chest.

However, this Advanced Squire had also experienced many battles. Sensing the impending danger, he quickly withdrew and used his longsword, which was glowing with Battle Qi aura, to parry.

A metallic clang rang out.

A cloud of blue Mars even flew out in mid-air.

Although Saine's Flame Blade did not cleave the Red Armor Knight in two with a single blow, it did deflect his longsword and leave a narrow gash on his arm.

The smell of burnt, roasted meat soon filled the air.

Enduring the pain of magical elements with one's own flesh and blood is something that ordinary people cannot bear.

The Red Armor Knight was quite tough; he didn't scream in pain, but his originally flushed cheeks turned deathly pale.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped from his face; his arm burns were quite severe at this point.

Even with protective Battle Qi, there is still a possibility of complete disability if not treated promptly.

Although his longsword was knocked away, the Red Armor Knight did not completely give up the fight and resistance.

With his intact left hand, he pulled a short dagger from his lower back, but before he could do anything else...

Saine had somehow stepped out of the carriage, was already standing in front of him. →

The Strong Acid Scepter in his hand emitted an elemental aura, which, for the Red Armor Knight, was nothing short of a harbinger of death.

The tip of the Strong Acid Scepter was pointed directly at the Red Armor Knight's head; if he made any move, the Corrosive Acid would melt his skull in the next instant.

The Magic Power glow of the Strong Acid Scepter finally caused the Red Armor Knight to lose his last Will to Resist.

"Clang!" The short dagger he was holding in his left hand fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Old John, somewhat stunned by the series of images, rushed forward and used a chokehold to subdue the Red Armor Knight whose right arm was severely injured.

Inside the castle, the battles between the other Knight Attendant ended even faster.

After the Red Armor Knight was subdued, the dozen or so Knight Attendant from the Sifa Kingdom quickly gave up their resistance.

In fact, they were all "one of their own" in the count's territory.

Even if these Knight Attendant were from the Sifa Kingdom

They Marquis Family, but since the marquis's daughter married into the Grant Territory, they have essentially been labeled as belonging to the Grant Territory.

With war imminent, internal strife would not be a good thing if word got out, and would be ridiculed by the other nobles of the Lisia Alliance.

Not to mention, given the war situation between the Sifa Kingdom and the Ok Empire, once the Lisia Alliance joined the battlefield, it should still be an ally of the Sifa Kingdom.

The farce at the Earl's Castle came to an abrupt end as Saine revealed his Advanced Magic Apprentice skills.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Saine has the strength to take on an entire earldom single-handedly; rather, he only needs to subdue a small group of people, represented by the Red Armor Knight.

Judging from the behavior of Old John and his two Advanced Knight Servant Graina, they acknowledged and respected Saine's identity.

Almost no one doubted the purity of Saine's bloodline; the fact that he bore nearly 80% resemblance to the Earl in his youth was enough to suggest that he must be the young master who "died" in the bandit attack nineteen years ago.

Not to mention, Saine also told Old John some more detailed childhood experiences, things that are hard to fake.

The Red Armor Knight was quickly taken away in handcuffs by the other guards of the Earl's mansion.

As for whether he will receive further treatment, Saine has no interest in following up.

On the day he returned "home", Saine did not want to resort to violence.

But upon hearing that his Mother had passed away and that his so-called father had remarried, Saine's feelings for this "family" faded somewhat.

Guided by Old John, Saine walked deeper into the Earl's Castle.

Saine should have been quite familiar with this castle when he was a child.

Although he no longer remembered the exact appearance and routes of the Earl's Castle, he could sometimes walk in the right direction without Old John pointing the way.

Moments later, Saine arrived at the center of the Earl's mansion.

He walked so fast that only Old John and his Advanced Squire, Graina, could keep up with him.

Of course, it is also possible that as they get closer to the center and backyard of the Earl's mansion, other guards and servants of lower rank are not qualified to enter here.

Saine eventually arrived at the Earl's council chamber.

This is a large and spacious area, with several side halls connected around the council chamber.

There was a place that seemed to be where the count and his family ate, with a huge long table set with many candles and spotless silver cutlery.

There are also some side halls whose purpose is unclear and whose location is even further away, so they are not very clear at first glance.

Compared to the city lord's mansion where Saine lived in City of Peterte, the count's mansion in front of him was obviously more spacious and luxurious.

However, upon entering the Earl's Castle, Saine was neither attracted by the rockery gardens along the way nor moved by the Earl's mansion's opulent splendor.

Upon arriving at the council chamber, Saine was feeling somewhat agitated and inexplicably restless, suddenly calmed down and became at peace when he saw a huge floor-to-ceiling painting placed in the very center of the chamber.

This is a portrait painting that occupies the entire wall in the very center of this council chamber.

The painting depicts a young noblewoman in a white dress, whose silver hair and sapphire-like eyes are enough to purify one's soul.

In particular, the surface of this giant painting still shows some fluctuations of Element Power, which seems to be the work of a magic apprentice, making the whole painting more lifelike and generally not susceptible to weathering damage.

He couldn't help but walk up to the giant painting, Saine the frame, and murmured to himself, "So this is my Mother?"

By placing a full-body portrait of his first wife, Catherine, in the most prominent and conspicuous place in the Bauhinia Flower Earl's mansion, it can be seen that Earl Grant had genuine feelings for his former wife.

However, Saine obviously wouldn't be making that connection at this moment.

A series of "clack clack clack!" sounds of Crystal Shoes stomping on the floor rang out, and amidst the commotion, a noblewoman in an elegant long dress appeared in Saine's sight.

This noblewoman did not come alone. In addition to the Red Armor Knight and other Knight Attendant of the Sifa Kingdom with bandages wrapped around their arms, there was also a young red-haired man standing beside her who looked somewhat similar to Saine.

"Why not arrest this despicable scoundrel impersonating a count?!"

"John, Graina, do you no longer see the Earl, nor me, the Countess?" The noblewoman was exceptionally beautiful, and her demeanor in every aspect possessed the poise expected of a great noblewoman.

However, her behavior at this moment was clearly not in line with her status and temperament.

Upon seeing Saine, I felt a kind of hysterical excitement.
