Leaving the Count Mansion, Viscount Lien Castel sat in his family carriage, his mind heavy with worry as he returned to the family's residence at North Port.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Derek de Lien Castel hastened over, surrounded by servants, and asked with concern on his face,
"Grandfather, how was it? Did the young Count Castel give you any trouble?"
Old Viscount Castel frowned and glanced at him, chiding,
"What young count? That is our Lord, the respected Count Castel!"
Derek was taken aback, seemingly puzzled by the sudden change in his grandfather's attitude,
"Grandfather, weren't you…"
Old Viscount Castel glared at him, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding servants, and whispered,
"Come with me to the study."
Once in the study, Viscount Lien Castel dismissed the butler and maids, while Derek took the initiative to pour his grandfather's favorite West Yonette honey wine.
