Chapter 616 - 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness
Chapter 616: Chapter 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness Chapter 616: Chapter 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness Kate City, within a merchant inn,
Due to the abundant resources of Marquis Kate’s Domain, many merchant caravans from the north came here to sell their goods and purchase local specialty products to take back to the north.
Even many special products from the Elf Clan could be acquired here.
Since those merchants from other Human Kingdoms were unfamiliar with the trade routes into Elf Forest, rashly venturing into Elf Forest could even lead to attacks from the Elves.
Therefore, instead of risking a journey to Elf Forest, it was preferable to purchase in Kate City, a major hub city in Bolin Kingdom.
In Bolin Kingdom, many Guilds and traveling merchants specifically managed caravans between Bolin Kingdom and Elf Forest, buying goods from the Elves and selling them at a higher price to the merchant caravans from the north, seeking sufficient profits.
Because of this, Kate City was more prosperous compared to other Human cities Lord Lis had previously passed through, hardly inferior to Bolin Kingdom’s King Acot City.
And controlling this land, the Kate Family, although only a Marquis family, had strength quite formidable.
Many of the nobles in Bolin Kingdom believed that the Kate Family already possessed enough power to become the next Duke Family of Bolin Kingdom.
However, now all this had nothing to do with Augustus.
After being left in the inn by Lord Lis and Lord Angela, Augustus had stayed obediently in his room without going out.
Even lunch was delivered to his room door by a servant.
Augustus had to be this cautious.
Leaning against the window sill, looking out at the familiar city, Augustus heaved a gloomy sigh.
As the youngest son of Marquis Kate, the lord of this land, this city was where he had lived the longest.
Yet now, when looking at this city, Augustus couldn’t help but feel some trepidation in his heart.
Fearful of others discovering his Vampire identity?
Fearful of others’ disdain and rejection?
Or…
fearful that his father would no longer acknowledge him as his son?
Augustus felt somewhat irritable inside; truthfully, he did not care about the inheritance rights of the Kate Family.
Or rather, he had long since given up competing with his older brother for the succession rights of the Kate Family.
He knew he wasn’t adept at handling the affairs of the domain and preferred a carefree and unbounded lifestyle, so he had long abandoned such thoughts.
Because of this, he had even been very lax in training his Extraordinary profession, previously being only a Bronze-level Warrior.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the relationship between Augustus and his elder brother was still quite good, and their father was extremely affectionate towards him, fulfilling many of his requests.
However, despite this, his father’s stern, aged face and old-fashioned demeanor made Augustus quite worried that his father would never accept him again.
At that time, with the help of Lord Angela, Augustus had escaped the constraints Andre had on him.
He had once attempted to see his father again, but the fear in his heart stopped him in his tracks.
When fleeing Kate City from the pursuit of the Vampire Valentine and Molin, Augustus inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was better this way, making the decision for him.
He might never return to this city again.
That’s what Augustus thought, but the development of events was ultimately disappointing.
He had not left Kate City for long before he ended up returning here with Lord Lis and Lord Angela.
Although he didn’t know what Lord Lis and Lord Angela were up to, Augustus could guess they were going to find that Golden-level Vampire, Andre.
Although he didn’t know what Lord Angela and the others wanted to do, or why they had brought him along, he ended up back in this city nonetheless.
Possibly due to the intangible connection with this land, Augustus felt his heart stirring again, the deeply buried thoughts surfacing once more.
Shaking his head, Augustus closed the window and lay down on the bed.
Thinking too much about these things was useless; better to rest and conserve energy, waiting for Lord Angela’s summons.
Knock knock~
The sound of knocking arose, Augustus sat up, and instead of directly opening the door, he asked:
“Who is it?”
“Augustus, open the door!”
This was the voice of Lord Lis.
Augustus immediately reacted, hurriedly getting up and walking to the door to open it.
He saw Lord Lis, dressed in luxurious black attire, standing at the doorway, a smile on his face, resembling a gracefully polite noble youth.
And Lord Angela, wearing a sky-blue fitted long dress, followed right behind Lord Lis, perfectly revealing her slender young figure, attracting the gazes of everyone passing through the hallway.
At this moment, Lord Angela appeared as if she had just woken up, looking weary, tightly clenching the corner of his clothing with her left hand.
“Augustus, are you all right now?”
Lord Lis looked at Augustus, his eyes showing a hint of amusement.
“I’m fine, please command me, Lord Lis.”
Seeing this, Augustus bowed slightly.
Although he was a Favored of Lord Angela, Lord Angela had also instructed him to follow all arrangements made by Lord Lis.
Because of this, he was very curious about the relationship between Lord Lis and Lord Angela, wondering why the powerful Lord Angela from the Blood Clan was so intimate with Lis.
“Then come with me, we’re going somewhere.”
“Yes, sir.”
Seeing this, Augustus quickly nodded and followed behind Lord Lis and Lord Angela.
Following Lord Lis out of the inn and onto a carriage that was already waiting by the side, they embarked on their journey, swaying softly in the carriage.
