210: Chapter 210 Alice Returns to the Capital to Investigate! The Fortified Golden Flame Castle!

Hearing Rowan's words.

Princess Alice and Garuvi's gazes immediately focused on Rowan.

Rowan didn't keep them in suspense and directly repeated the information Aurora had told him in the Mist Forest in a concise manner.

After hearing this, the expressions on the two women's faces shifted from confusion to shock, and then from shock to a sense of realization...

They had never heard anyone mention this matter before.

But they immediately associated it with a series of abnormal events that had occurred previously.

They immediately realized that what Rowan said was very likely true.

Princess Alice suddenly couldn't sit still.

She paced back and forth in the room a few times.

A moment later, she stopped and turned to Rowan, her tone urgent and solemn: "Count Rowan, I need to return to the Imperial Capital immediately to investigate some matters. I will leave Garuvi in your care for now. Please ensure her safety."

She then turned to Garuvi: "Garuvi, rest and recover here with peace of mind. I will not let your matter go just like this. I will find a way to uncover the truth and clear your name."

Garuvi heard this, was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "You must be careful too."

"Mm." Princess Alice nodded at Garuvi, then looked at Rowan, bit her lip, and said:

"Count Rowan, I will not forget your contribution. After this matter is over, I will give you a well-deserved reward; I will not treat you unfairly."

Rowan bowed slightly, performing an elegant gesture, his tone calm and appropriate: "It is my honor to serve Your Highness."

Seeing this, Princess Alice said nothing more, turned around, and left in a rush...

In the study.

Only Rowan and Garuvi remained.

Garuvi lowered her head, glanced at the slightly oversized plain dress she was wearing, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Rowan noticed her expression and naturally changed the subject, his tone concerned:

"Miss Garuvi, do you need my help with your injuries? There is still some unusually stubborn foreign battle qi in your body. If not dealt with in time, it might leave hidden dangers."

Garuvi heard this, composed her subtle emotions, and closed her eyes to feel the condition inside her body.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, shook her head, and said with a tone of confidence belonging to a strong individual:

"Thank you for your concern. Although that battle qi is stubborn, I can slowly wear it down myself now, it just requires some time."

Rowan nodded: "Then, Miss Garuvi, please rest and recover in the castle with peace of mind. If you need anything, you can order the maids to handle it at any time."

"Thank you." Garuvi nodded and thanked him again.

Rowan waved his hand and smiled:

"It was just a small effort."

Then he ordered a maid to lead the way and take Garuvi back to her room.

He watched Garuvi's back, feeling pleased.

This Blood Rose Knight had a score as high as 94, and had already broken through to an Earth Knight; her beauty was also magnificent.

Although she appeared somewhat haggard due to her injuries, that Charm belonging to a top-tier beauty still naturally emanated from her every gesture; it could not be hidden from him, a knowledgeable succubus.

She did indeed carry significant trouble with her.

But in the face of a 94 score, it was not worth mentioning!

However, the effect of the Lv3 Charm he had used on her just now did not seem ideal.

Although it was not completely ineffective, that resistance was clearly much stronger than that of other ladies.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze, sank his consciousness into his mind, and fell into deep thought.

...

Currently, he toils diligently in the garden, with an average daily gain of about 30 free attribute points.

This speed is faster than during the Sylvia period.

But compared to the explosive growth of the initial budding period, it appears much slower.

Now, he has a total of 6237 free attribute points.

If he wants to quickly build up Garuvi's favor, he could choose to upgrade the Charm skill to Lv4.

But he looked at the 28 qualified offspring required for the third milestone; it is still far off, so this is not urgent and can be done slowly.

If he wants to improve his combat power, he could choose to upgrade a Knight profession skill to Lv4 Sky-Tier, or wait until he promotes to Earth Knight in three months.

But in three months, he will be able to reach the second milestone and obtain a Designated Profession Card.

That is the top priority.

He needs to reserve enough free attribute points to upgrade the newly obtained profession.

Thinking of this, he already had a decision in his heart.

Still stick to the original plan, do not use the current free attribute points, continue to accumulate, and wait for three months later...

...

Late at night, outside Gino City, in a forest.

The night wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, masking the low conversation of the people in the forest.

Knight Kallen reined in his horse and stopped under the shadow of an old tree.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at a spy shrouded in black clothes beside him: "Are you sure the Blood Rose Knight entered Gino City?"

The man in black heard this, a trace of hesitation appearing on his face.

He was silent for a few breaths before answering uncertainly: "It cannot be completely confirmed... but the target's aura did indeed disappear near Gino City.

"We tracked it to a stream three miles north of the city, and the trail was completely broken. Subsequent searches yielded nothing; she seemed to have evaporated into thin air."

Knight Kallen heard this and did not respond immediately, just looked up at the silhouette of the city that was bright with lights in the night.

With that bishop and the divine array in Gino City, he definitely could not force his way in.

Otherwise, after his aura was detected, it would be difficult for him to explain why he was not at the Ice Peak Fortress but appeared in the territory of an Imperial Count.

Unless he could obtain solid evidence to prove that Count Golden Flame did indeed harbor an Imperial wanted criminal, and then intervene directly in the name of the Will Province Governor's Office.

But how easy is that?

To accuse an Imperial Count of harboring a wanted criminal, the required chain of evidence must be extremely tight; any missing link could be used by the other party to find loopholes and bite back.

Wantonly invading private territory is something that all landed nobles cannot tolerate.

Knight Kallen thought quietly about a feasible plan.

After that Count Golden Flame took office, he completely reorganized the interior of the castle.

According to intelligence, the other party replaced all the personnel inside the castle with women selected from the Beauty Pageant, and these women rarely went out, and the communication channels with the outside world were limited.

The City Guard's personal troops could only garrison on the periphery and could not enter the interior of the castle to investigate the situation at all.

The entire Golden Flame Castle had become impenetrable, and it was difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.

Thinking of this, he turned to the man in black and asked:

"Can the spy arranged during the previous Beauty Pageant be contacted? I heard the other party is already the captain of the guards inside the castle?"

The man in black said: "Cannot be contacted. The contact method is only known to the leader of that mercenary group, and, the other party doesn't know our people either."

Knight Kallen frowned: "When will the leader of that mercenary group arrive?"

The man in black immediately answered: "A mission has been sent to notify them to set off from Ascalon. According to the itinerary, they are expected to arrive in Gino City within three days."

"That's good." Knight Kallen nodded:

"When the other party arrives, let them find a way to get intelligence from inside the castle immediately.

"The most critical thing is to know if any strange women have entered the castle recently."

"The faster the better."

"Yes, my lord."

Knight Kallen took one last look at Gino City, then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and said decisively:

"Let's go. Leave the subsequent matters to that mercenary group to handle. We will return to Ice Peak Fortress first."

The sound of hooves gradually faded in the forest and was soon swallowed by the night wind.
