Sir Anlin secretly cursed.
Now he realized that the Count's words earlier might indeed be a ploy to find a scapegoat.
Anlin looked around.
Both Ye Hua and Harding kept silent, adopting the look of looking at their nose, then heart, a sign that they understood he'd been used as a pawn.
However, he wasn't angry.
To gain the friendship of this Count over a small matter is mere effort.
This Violet Count lacked authority and had to rely on power borrowed from others.
He might as well go along with this favor.
"As Lord Count has spoken, how could Anlin refuse? I also wish to see what kind of thing dare crash into the Earl's Mansion's personal guards in broad daylight!"
Sir Anlin stood up and spoke.
Baiyu glanced at him meaningfully and nodded slightly.
…
Ye Hua and Harding left the Earl's Mansion with Baiyu, but they didn't follow along.
Only Sir Anlin stayed by Baiyu's side.
The two boarded the steam carriage.
