After that, a servant came forward and escorted the two of them into the mansion. As they passed through the entrance, Chief Macmillan lowered his head and whispered in Li Wei's ear.
"If possible, please keep an eye on the young lady for me."
"Oh? Is something wrong with her?"
"No, nothing. The problem is that she's Sir Baskerville's daughter. Oh, I suppose we should call her Lady Baskerville now."
At this point, Chief Macmillan sighed.
"But she has no intention of fulfilling her responsibilities as Lady Baskerville. Instead, she spends all day thinking about finding her father, and she's even threatened to set fire to the mountains so she can find the Wolf King and kill him..."
Chief Macmillan shook his head as he spoke.
"This isn't just something said in the heat of the moment, Mr. Li Wei. This young lady has been a troublemaker since childhood. Hunting down the Wolf King is exactly the sort of thing she might actually do. That's why I've posted men here, to keep her from losing control and running off into the Remote Wilderness to find this Wolf King... that would only make matters worse."
"She's the Baskerville Family's only heir?"
"Yes."
Chief Macmillan's expression was solemn.
"The people of Delicat have been loyal to the Duke of Baskerville's family for generations. As people of Delicat, we absolutely cannot allow the Baskerville bloodline to die out in our time! It would be a disgrace to us all!"
"Ah, right..."
Li Wei was somewhat surprised by how earnest and solemn Chief Macmillan had become. He knew about the Western joke that "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal," but actually seeing it in practice still surprised him a little. Apparently, the locals of Delicat were extremely loyal to the Baskerville Family.
