Chapter 35 What is behind the matter?
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and after the dinner was officially over, Sean took Windsor and left the castle of the Earl of the River.

In fact, the experience of participating in the dinner this time was still very bad. Offending Brody Mill was a minor issue. The most important thing was that Sean was not full.

Sean and Windsor came not long after eating, butler William came, and Sean basically didn't eat much because of the noble (personal) clan (person) etiquette (face) and instrument (children).

Later, Jessica calculated and Wen De Sole played music. When the Earl of the river finished asking Wen De Sole and they returned to the table, the dishes on the table were basically cold. So Sean was not full.

On the way to the carriage, Sean looked at Wen Desol behind him: "Wend Sole, are you full?"

At this time, Windsor and another guard of the Earl's Castle were carrying a large box, which contained 9000 gold coins subsidized by Grand Duke Ryan to Sean. (Butler Henry advanced part of it, but it was actually only more than [-].)
The box and the gold coins inside weigh more than 60 kilograms, so two people are required to carry it.

Windsor heard Sean's words and replied honestly: "Actually, I haven't eaten enough."

"Then let's go back and have another meal! You are a big shot worth a thousand gold coins now!" Sean joked.

Before Wen De Sole could answer, a guard in silver armor walking beside Sean spoke: "His Royal Highness Sean, do you want to have supper? Why don't you bring me one? I have been standing outside the castle for a whole day tonight." , didn't eat anything."

The guard in silver armor is named Lucio, the peak of the Bronze Rank, and the son of Lucas, the peak warrior of the Gold Rank.

He is now the earl of the river's bodyguard, following the orders of the butler William to protect Sean and these gold coins.

Lucio's greatest hobby is eating, so when Sean said he wanted to add a meal, he couldn't help but say that he wanted to join.

"No problem, it's just one more pair of chopsticks for one more person, I'll take one with you." Sean replied straightforwardly.

"What are chopsticks?" Lucio didn't understand what Sean meant.

"Uh, the word 'chopsticks' is a word we Wangdu people often use, which means no problem." Sean made up nonsense.

"Oh, so that's the case." Lucio nodded, suddenly said.

Sean continued to lead Lucio towards the carriage, but what Sean didn't notice was that when he said the word "chopsticks", Windsor behind him gave him a surprised look.

At this time, they also arrived in front of the carriage, and the butler Henry had been standing beside the carriage waiting for a long time.

Wen De Sole and the guards who carried the box together put the box full of gold coins on the carriage first, then Sean, the housekeeper Henry and Wen De Sole got on the carriage one by one, and Lucio rode a white horse and followed beside their carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Sean looked at the butler Henry: "Henry, how have you been these three hours?"

"I'm doing very well, Your Highness Sean." Henry smiled.

"I have been chatting with other noble stewards for the past three hours. They were a little disdainful after they knew that I followed you, but they knew that you paid me twice the original salary, and they were all jealous to death!
Oh, by the way, did you have any problems inside the castle? "

"Problems. There really are!" Sean roughly recounted all the things he experienced in the castle hall.

When Sean said that the Earl of Rivers was willing to spend a thousand gold coins to attract Wen De Sole, the housekeeper Henry was taken aback, and his impression of Wen De Sole changed a lot.

But Sean did not stop, but continued to finish everything. At the end of the conversation, Sean asked:
"Henry, do you know anything about Viscount Mill and Water Pine Town?"

"I'm ashamed, Your Highness Sean." The butler Henry replied shamelessly, "Hetan Town and Shuisong Town are neighbors, but I don't know much about them. Never greeted the Viscount Miller."

"Because of the surname?" Sean asked back.

"That's right, it's because of the surname." The butler Henry explained, "The families of the mill (Mill), the miller (Miller), the blacksmith (Smith), and the hunter (Hunter) have relatively good relationships;
Rivers (Reva), Lakes (Rek), Wells (Vale), and Creeks (Brooke) have better relationships.

The two sides basically do not interact with each other very much. "

"So that's the case." Sean nodded, "But it's okay, it's not too late to investigate now, Henry, you need to use some contacts to learn more about the Viscount Mill and Water Pine Town."

"Obey, Your Highness Sean!"

During the period of time until the carriage returned to the residence, Sean did not speak to Henry and Windsor again.

After a busy day, Sean was also a little tired, so he closed his eyes and began to think about what happened today.

Sean was still very grateful to the Earl of Rivers this morning. After all, the Earl of Rivers helped him eradicate the bandits on the road to River Beach Town, and handed over the [-] gold coins given by the Principality to him in full. No labor charges.

But now, Sean feels that things have changed a bit.

First, what Butler William said about the bandits "all committing suicide" sounds full of loopholes. How could two Silver-level and 2 Bronze-level masters commit suicide like this?
Second, why did Earl of Rivers recommend "Wolf Settlement" and "Silver Hourglass" to himself, but the housekeeper William secretly recommended "Flame Cross" to himself?
Third, why did Jessica Rivers use such a poor technique to arouse Brody Mill's hatred of him?Is it just because of the dying Viscount Mill?

After such an analysis, Xiao En's gratitude to the Earl of the River suddenly weakened a lot. Behind this, there may be hidden secrets that he does not know!
