"My Lord Baron, Ms. Fringilla·Vigo is here to visit."
When Lynn returned to Castel Ravello Vineyard in disguise, the housekeeper Sebastian whispered to Lynn.
"Ms. Fringilla? Where is she now? Is she still in the manor?"
"Yes, I arranged for her to rest in a guest room. Do you need me to take her to the reception room now?"
"Well, go ahead."
Although I don't know why Fringilla came to visit.
Since the other party has already arrived, there is no harm in meeting him.
But if you want to meet a lady, naturally you can't just go there directly, that would be too rude.
So Lynn went to take a bath, changed into a noble dress, and then went to the reception room.
In the reception room, the housekeeper Sebastian is attentively introducing the features and beautiful scenery of the manor to the sorceress so that the other party will not feel that she has been waiting for too long.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sebastian." Lynn nodded to the housekeeper.
The butler bowed deeply as a gentleman, exited the reception room, and closed the door.
Fringilla put one leg on the knee of the other. "I won't say any polite words. I guess you don't like hearing them, so I'll get down to business."
"Lord Baron, I was asked to come here. You promised her something, but you failed to do it."
Lynn frowned.
"Who are you referring to? Why don't I remember?"
"Lord Baron, you are really a noble person who forgets things," Fringilla said with a smile, "Orianna, Beauclair City's female nobles, do you have any impressions now?"
"She said you promised to visit her later, but instead you made a lady wait for you for so long."
"Even if I hadn't reminded you, Lord Baron, you would have forgotten about it."
Lynn suddenly understood.
Indeed.
When he completed the commission to rescue Tyensail from the underground waterway and went to find Orianna with Letho for settlement, Orianna did ask Lynn to go find her later.
Lynn has not forgotten this matter.
But there were too many things to do later, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
However, Lynn plans to visit Orianna before leaving Toussaint.
Unexpectedly, the high-level vampire was not in a hurry and actually asked Fringilla to come over to remind him.
But... wait.
Orianna should also know...
Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but look weird.
"Ms. Fringilla, was it Ms. Orianna who asked you to come to Castel Ravello Vineyard to find me?"
The sorceress smiled sweetly.
Understand what Lynn is worried about.
"Of course not, the Baron is really suspicious," Fringilla pointed at Glamarye hanging around Lynn's neck, "No one else knows about that matter except me and Her Highness the Duchess, so the Baron can rest assured."
"That's good."
Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, "Although I have not forgotten the agreement with Ms. Orianna, it is true that I have made a lady wait for so long. I also bothered Ms. Fringilla to come in person..."
"In that case, I will set off to visit...Sebastian."
The door to the reception room opened, and the butler stood politely behind the door.
"My Lord Baron, what are your orders?"
"Go to the wine cellar and get two barrels of the oldest rose wine."
"Yes."
After Sebastian left, there were gleams of light in Fringilla's eyes.
"Foreigners only know Est Est, but only Toussaint people who truly understand this land can appreciate the unique charm of rose wine."
"The quality of this red wine is not inferior to Est Est. Ms. Orianna is really lucky to be able to taste such a rare rose red wine, and there are only two barrels of it."
Lynn smiled slightly.
The red wine produced in his own manor was praised by a court magician, and he also had a bright face.
"No, these two buckets are for you, beautiful Ms. Fringilla, thank you for making this trip."
After Lynn and Fringilla left Castel Ravello Vineyard, Lynn changed back to his witcher costume halfway.
They rode horses and arrived in front of Orianna's mansion at Beauclair.
Surprisingly...
"Lord Baron, Ms. Fringilla, my mistress unfortunately has something to do and has not returned home. However, the mistress has specially given instructions. If you two come, please go to the reception room and wait for a while. She will be back soon."
Fringilla couldn't help but complain a little.
She was a palace sorceress, and because she didn't want to offend anyone easily, she was asked by Orianna to run errands for him.
As a result, people were invited over, but Orianna himself was not waiting in the mansion.
Something happened temporarily?
What else could happen to her?
Glancing at the angry Fringilla, Lynn didn't take it seriously.
Because he can probably guess what Orianna suddenly went to do.
This high-level vampire who disguised his identity in Toussaint and lived in seclusion for hundreds of years is different from Blood Abstainers like Dettlaff and Regis.
She is also a Blood Drinkers.
She owns an orphanage outside the city, which takes in children who have become orphans due to various circumstances.
These children are her blood bags.
Of course, those children didn't complain much about being a blood bag.
Because, without Orianna, there is no doubt that those children would only have a more tragic fate.
The world is not inherently black and white.
Even Geralt understands this.
Again, compared to some people, monsters seem more humane.
This is really a magical world.
The servant led the two people to the reception room, brought them snacks and tea, and then left.
Lynn rubbed Glamarye hanging around his neck.
He didn't know what Fringilla's motive was for giving him such a precious magic item.
But he's not the kind of person who likes to take advantage.
He had already thought of a return gift for Fringilla.
And now is the right time to bring it up.
So, while waiting for Orianna, Lynn exposed Plegmund's "miracle" to Fringilla.
Although this guy brought Lebioda's faith to Toussaint, the essence of Plegmund is actually just to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
And this is indeed the case.
Not only did he defraud a lot of money from ordinary people.
He also collected a lot of wealth from the nobles.
If Lynn remembers correctly, Plegmund should have recently proposed to Duchess Caroberta to build an unprecedented and magnificent statue of Lebioda in Toussaint.
And the duchess will readily agree to allocate a large sum of money from the principality's treasury to Plegmund.
However, the statue was never completed.
Because soon after, Plegmund's "miracle" will be exposed, and he will run away with the money.
And his behavior of running away with money has also harmed those believers who believe in Lebioda.
This directly resulted in these believers being isolated and excluded in Toussaint.
This is also the reason why when Geralt comes to Toussaint in the expansion pack Blood and Wine of the Witcher 3, the people of Toussaint will return to the belief of Lady of the Lake.
Although Lynn promised before that he would help Lady of the Lake expand his faith in Toussaint.
But he didn't want to use this kind of stepping on and holding one up.
The idea of Lebioda is to spread wisdom and save people.
This coincides with the concept of the goddess Melitele in the north who preaches love and peace.
Only kind people will believe in Lebioda. His followers and believers should not end up like the original plot.
Therefore, Lynn's return gift to Fringilla is Plegmund.
After being reminded by the witcher, the sorceress also understood.
Of course she knows Plegmund, the character who has recently become famous in Toussaint.
As a sorceress, even in Toussaint who is full of faith, Fringilla still adopts an open-minded attitude towards the gods.
Neither blindly trust nor blindly oppose.
When Plegmund showed a "miracle" before, Fringilla did not see it with his own eyes.
But now listening to Lynn's words, she feels that Plegmund does have a strong aura of a liar from beginning to end.
Toussaint is the hometown of Fringilla, and Vigo family is also a famous wealthy family in Toussaint.
Of course she doesn't want to see Toussaint being tricked by a liar.
So I gratefully accepted the return gift from Lynn.
