Frieren's work, Heiter's instructions, Fern's reluctance to part, and Flenna's desserts.
Yulian counted on his fingers, deepening the memories of these events.
Everyone was a very important existence; Yulian would be very annoyed if he forgot.
"Sir, the City Lord's Mansion has arrived."
The coachman's voice came, and Yulian lifted the curtain to see the grand gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Thank you."
Yulian got out of the carriage, took out his token from his pocket, and entered the City Lord's Mansion smoothly.
After asking the guards on duty, he also learned that several nobles had come today and that Dragufil was currently receiving guests in the hall.
"He's really a busy man."
Yulian recalled that it seemed every time he saw Dragufil, he was busy, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir Yulian."
The attendant at the door of the council hall bowed to Yulian and prepared to go in to report.
Try not to get caught in the vortex.
Heiter's words seemed to echo in his ears.
"Wait," Yulian spoke, stopping the attendant.
"Sir Yulian?"
The attendant looked at Yulian doubtfully.
"I'm in the garden. Come and inform me after the City Lord is finished with his business."
Yulian hesitated for a moment before arranging.
Although the attendant found it strange, he respectfully agreed.
"City Lord."
"The church is very dissatisfied with your frequent abuse of power!"
"We should make a friendly response!"
"City Lord, is it really worth offending the nobles in the city by releasing Baron Corist for an adventurer who appeared out of nowhere!"
"Is it really worth offending the nobles in the city!"
The sound of discussion faintly passed through the council hall door to the outside.
"You've worked hard."
A smile appeared on Yulian's face.
Fortunately, he didn't go in, or there would have been some trouble.
"Sir Yulian is too kind."
The attendant was very respectful.
"Do you need me to lead the way to the garden for you?"
"It's fine, I won't trouble you."
Yulian waved his hand.
The garden was not far from the council hall, and after crossing a short stone bridge, he arrived quickly.
After casually teasing the fish in the pond, Yulian found it boring and came to the pavilion to sit down, quietly waiting.
"Sir Yulian, please have some."
An attendant brought tea and snacks.
After Yulian saw that it was osmanthus cake and black tea, he politely declined.
Strangely, the attendant's eyes flashed with doubt upon seeing this, but he did not leave with the tea and snacks.
Instead, he gritted his teeth, put down the tea and snacks, and then quickly left without waiting for Yulian to speak.
"Strange."
Yulian frowned.
He glanced at the retreating figure of the attendant, then shifted his gaze to the tea and snacks.
A white corner of a piece of paper was exposed under the porcelain plate of the osmanthus cake.
Yulian's heart skipped a beat. After looking around, he gently moved the osmanthus cake, took out the paper, and read it.
[Hello, Yulian.]
[Given your actions, Baron Corist's family is now in my hands.]
[If you want them to live, please leave the Central Kingdoms,]
"And never come back?"
Dragufil's voice gently sounded.
"Huh!"
Yulian was startled by the suddenly appearing Dragufil.
"Is this a threat letter?"
Dragufil was a little surprised and asked doubtfully.
"City Lord, why did you come directly?"
Yulian patted his chest and took a deep breath.
He had done quite a few things against his conscience in recent years, and Yulian was really afraid of ghosts coming to seek revenge.
"I came over after I finished being busy,"
Dragufil explained casually, his gaze always drawn to the letter.
"Someone is threatening you?"
"Is there anyone who dares to do this on my territory?"
Dragufil's words inexplicably revealed a kind of contempt for the letter writer.
"Damn it!"
A dark figure in the distance saw this scene from afar and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Threatening me is secondary; the main point is you, City Lord."
Yulian rolled his eyes at Dragufil, feeling a bit speechless.
The person who could write this letter telling him to leave the Central Kingdoms obviously knew that he was currently working for the City Lord and wanted to weaken the City Lord's Mansion's fighting strength.
"Some people are also dissatisfied with my decision to release Baron Corist today."
Dragufil nodded undeniably, and the next second he coldly shouted at the shadow beside him.
"Bring the person here."
Shadow Magic.
Yulian's eyes moved slightly.
The practicality of this Magic is indeed very strong.
[Holy Capital Special Unit: Shadow Unit.]
Yulian silently made a note in his mind.
The shadow moved quickly and returned from a distance in no time.
"City Lord, the person is already dead."
The shadow naturally went to find the attendant who brought the tray, but unfortunately, someone had already taken action.
"Crack."
Dragufil clenched his right fist tightly, his face grim.
"Don't worry about Baron Corist's family; I will send someone."
"If they dare to do it, then be prepared to pay the price."
Yulian could feel Dragufil's almost erupting anger.
But even so, Yulian still wouldn't forget what he needed to do for the City Lord's Mansion.
"Some nobles in the city want to kill you; they are the Second Prince's people."
Yulian said calmly.
At this moment, he gradually realized the helplessness of Dragufil, who was the kingdom's count and the City Lord of the Holy Capital, facing multiple dark forces.
"Second Prince?"
"Impossible. The Second Prince is extremely cunning. How could he try to kill me at this point?"
"He doesn't even have enough time to win me over!"
Dragufil obviously didn't believe him.
The King wants him dead, he believes that.
The First Prince wants him dead, he also believes that.
Even those guys who are counts, even the princess wanting him dead, he believes that, but he doesn't believe for a second that the Second Prince wants to kill him.
One must know that he implicitly had the tendency to side with the Second Prince!
"Where did you get this information?"
"Could it be the First Prince's scheme?"
Dragufil frowned. On one hand, he sent the attendant beside him to handle Baron Corist's family's matter, and on the other hand, he questioned Yulian.
"The information cannot be false."
Yulian's eyes were serious.
After all, this was someone else's inner thoughts. This world doesn't seem to have the concept of Magic that can peek into hearts, so who would lie in their inner thoughts?
Furthermore, could inner thoughts possibly lie?
Ridiculous!
"I also know the person behind it."
"He's an elegant noble wearing black clothes, young and handsome."
"Quite distinctive."
Yulian thought for a moment and described the appearance of the person he saw that day.
Unfortunately, Yulian searched in the Holy Capital and found that there was no such noble in the Holy Capital at all!
"Is that so..."
Dragufil nodded. Yulian spoke so detailedly that it seemed it couldn't be false.
Then he had to seriously consider his position.
Also, why does the Second Prince want to kill him, and who did he send?
Headache!
"Be careful. Take this bracelet. If there's danger, smash it."
Yulian handed over a jade bracelet, and at the same time, he shook his own wrist.
There was an identical bracelet on his wrist as well.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Dragufil took the bracelet, his eyes full of gratitude.
Being in a high position, most of the time he was concerned about others, taking the initiative.
Just like before, upon learning that Yulian was threatened, he also immediately sent someone to solve the problem.
There were few times when he was cared for.
Therefore, Yulian's small gesture seemed full of warmth to him.
"It's a small matter," Yulian waved his hand.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
As soon as Yulian spoke, Frieren's words echoed in his mind.
While he's busy, he should also ask the City Lord if he's still hiring!
So Yulian followed up immediately, asking before Dragufil could respond.
"There's one more thing..."
