rle standing there.
Looking at this scene, Alodia’s face sunk as he said to Searle, “Steward Alodia is ready to meet with the Young Lady.”

As Alodia watched Searle’s expression, he knew that his fears had happened today.
Alodia knew what Reo was to do if he couldn’t leave the mansion, but it seems that the task wasn’t successful.

Alodia nodded with an ugly expression and walked into the study.
He looked inside and saw that there was only Laura, Quinn John, and Nier.
There were no others present.

“I have seen the Young Lady,” Alodia courteously greeted Laura.

Laura sat back behind the desk and looked into Alodia’s eyes, saying, “You arrived in my mansion, therefore, you must follow the rules of the mansion.
Otherwise even Fifth Uncle wouldn’t be able to save you.
As long as you follow the rules of the mansion, I won’t treat you badly.
Do you understand and remember what I just said?”

Alodia looked back at Laura and said, “Young Lady, we are servants of the Fifth Young Master and have come here to visit the Young Lady, not to work as a servant for the Young Lady.
Now that I have seen the Young Lady, this little one wishes to go back.
I ask for the Young Lady’s consent.”

Laura looked at Alodia and said, “Stay here for some time.
These days, the outside isn’t too peaceful.
Today, I had just left the mansion and was unexpectedly attacked.
Moreover, the strength of those people wasn’t weak.
If I let you go out now, and an accident were to occur, then I wouldn’t be able to face Fifth Uncle.
As such, stay here for a period of time.
I’ll let you leave after things calm down.
You can go back now.”

Alodia listened to what Laura said and an eyelid couldn’t help but unconsciously jump.
What Laura meant was very clear.
Laura was giving him a warning, threatening him. You people had attacked me, but I had survived.
Your attacks were defeated.
Now she said that outside wasn’t peaceful.
This means that if he were to leave Casa City, she would kill him and let him die in vain.

Alodia wasn’t stupid.
He knew that he was currently in Laura’s territory.
It was impossible for him to fight Laura.
They would never have thought that Laura’s strength would have increased to such a height already.
Now, he could only hope that Carlo would quickly hear the news and save them.

Earlier this morning, when they were told by Quinn John to stay put in the mansion, Alodia had sent a wind falcon to inform Carlo.
He estimated that Carlo should have received the message by now.
He would never have thought, however, that the wind falcon he’d sent had already become food for the Eagle Virtuous Phantasms.

Laura couldn’t attack all of the wind falcons that flew out of Casa City, however.
Such a move would offend a lot of people.
Therefore, Laura also knew that Carlo would soon enough receive the message.

After she came back, she didn’t directly go to the Grand Duke’s Mansion.
Instead, she sent someone to inform Grand Duke Evan that Zhao Hai had agreed to form an alliance.
She believed that once Grand Duke Evan received the news, he would know what to do next.

Alodia was worthy of being a steward of Carlo as he bore it patiently.
After hearing what Laura said, he nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Lady.
Then, please excuse me.”

Laura nodded and said, “Alright.
Tell your people not to go out without my permission.
A lot of undead have come with me here and these undead do not recognize people.
If any of your people decide to leave, they could possibly be killed.”

Alodia lowered his head and complied, slowly drawing back as he knew he couldn’t do anything.
If he did move, then he would be the same as courting death.
Looking at Laura’s expression, it showed that she didn’t mind killing them.

Watching Alodia retreat, Quinn John looked at Laura and said, “Laura, are you alright? I saw the arrow marks on the carriage.
It seems to have been a very fierce attack.”

Laura shook her head and said, “It’s alright.
Brother Hai came to my rescue.
Grandpa Quinn John, please sit down.
I have to tell you about Brother Hai’s situation.”

Quinn John nodded as he also wanted to know these matters.
Upon Laura’s arrival, he had been summoned immediately, so there hadn’t been any time to explain things to him.

Laura sat besides Quinn John, then ordered Searle to move further away.
Quinn John understood the meaning of this, as it showed that Zhao Hai’s identity must be extremely delicate

Quinn John had thought of a lot about Zhao Hai’s identity, but he never would have guessed that he was of the Buda clan.
No wonder no one had found any of the Buda clan in the Black Waste; they had hid from everyone in the blink of an eye.
Ah, so terrible.

After Laura told him everything, Quinn John slowly stood up and walked around aimlessly.
He then said, “You handled this matter correctly.
If Zhao Hai didn’t want you to know of their identity, then you wouldn’t know it.
Others wouldn’t have been able to guess his current status, and we have cooperated with them without a problem.

“I also heard that Grand Duke Evan had been an old friend of the Buda clan and had helped them during their time of crisis.
However, even if he asks for Zhao Hai’s identity, we shouldn’t say anything.
To be safe, we shouldn’t tell anyone of this matter.
So long as we are able to repel the Markey Dell clan, we will be able to gain a strong foothold here in the Purcell Duchy.
But as Zhao Hai said, if you let others know of his identity, then even the Purcell clan wouldn’t be able to protect them.
We are currently cooperating with them both, and before the alliance we were already on good terms.”

Laura gave a soft cry of agreement[1].
