I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 618 - 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness_3

Chapter 618: Chapter 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness_3 Chapter 618: Chapter 412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness_3 But Angela was different.

After all, she was the bona fide little Princess of the Burns family.

When she appeared in Acot City, the Great Nobles of the Bolin Kingdom must have already grasped information about her.

Given the status of the Duke Burns family, it would be very easy for her to meet Marquis Kate.

After all, Marquis Kate was at most considered as a potential next Duke of the Bolin Kingdom, whereas Duke Burns was undoubtedly the most powerful noble in Bolin Kingdom aside from the Royal Family.

…

It was only a moment,

Upon hearing the guard’s report, the manager of Kate Castle hurriedly rushed out with a quick jog.

“Miss Angela Burns, greetings!”

“Mr.

Lis Kain, greetings!”

The somewhat portly manager bowed, speaking with a respectful tone.

“After receiving your letter of visitation yesterday, Marquis Kate has been waiting in the reception room.”

“Please follow me.”

Lis nodded his head.

Yesterday, after coming back from Andre’s, he had also sent a letter to the castle using Angela’s name.

As for himself, he was a friend of Angela, a noble from another country traveling through Bolin Kingdom.

“This is…”

The manager looked at Augustus, furrowing his brows in question.

For some reason, he always felt that the man whose face he could not see clearly in front of him had a somewhat familiar feeling.

Uncle Haka…

Through the brim of his hat, Augustus glanced sidelong at the chubby manager in front of him and sighed inwardly.

“This is Miss Angela’s guard, specially arranged by Duke Burns himself.”

A smile appeared on Lis’s face as he spoke naturally.

“Is that so?”

Manager Haka took another glance at Augustus, said nothing further, and began leading Lis and the others towards the castle.

…

“We’re here.”

A short while later, the manager, who led Lis and the others to the second floor of the castle, gently opened a door and bowed to them, saying.

Lis nodded, and alongside Angela, walked into the reception room.

The spacious room’s gold and deep red velvet curtains fluttered in the wind, whispering of past glories.

On the walls, exquisite murals depicted the glory and elegance of the ancestral Kates, every stroke revealing the profound heritage of the Kate family.

In the center of the room, an ornately carved solid wood table quietly stood, covered with a silk tablecloth embroidered with the family crest, both solemn and elegant.

The surrounding sofas were all meticulously crafted, inlaid with gemstones and pearls, glimmering attractively.

At the main seat sat an old man with grizzled hair, who seemed to be in his fifties.

His hair was like the frosty leaves of autumn, with silver white intertwined with strands of black, bearing the marks of years.

His features were firm and profound, like a rock weathered by time, sturdy and steady.

Sitting on the ornately carved wooden bench, his posture was upright and imposing, like an unshakeable mountain, his presence serious and imposing.

To think that Marquis Kate was actually a Gold-level warrior, this feeling must be from someone in the warrior profession.

Lis thought to himself, moving forward to sit down together with Angela.

When Augustus saw the old man, his body trembled slightly, but he quickly steadied himself and stood at a moderate distance from Angela.

“Welcome, esteemed guests, to Kate City.”

“I am Sebino Kate.”

The old man nodded to Lis and Angela, speaking in a deep voice.

“Could this be Miss Angela Burns?”

“I have long admired your father and truly hope to visit Duke Burns one day.”

With a nudge from Lis, Angela nodded slightly, but her gaze had already fallen onto the delicate pastries on the small table.

But this would suffice; the rest I could handle myself.

Lis shook his head, looking at Sibino, and said:

“It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you, Marquis.”

At this moment, Sibino’s gaze finally shifted to Lis.

Up until now, all of his attention had been captivated by Angela as soon as the group entered.

One reason was Angela’s unique aura and her outstanding appearance, though for Sibino now, it was reduced to mere appreciation.

More importantly, it was Angela’s identity.

The Burns family was the most mysterious and universally acknowledged as the most powerful noble family in the Bolin Kingdom.

They seldom appeared before outsiders, generally active only within their family’s domains, with very few knowing the people of the Burns family.

For reasons unknown, the Burns family seemed indifferent to everything–wealth, power, and so on.

They didn’t care; the tax rates required from their territory’s people were the lowest, almost negligible.

But the Burns family’s power had never declined over countless years, and the tragic outcomes of those who had provoked the Burns family undoubtedly demonstrated this fact.

A few days ago, Sibino received intelligence from the Royal Capital, which prominently mentioned the emergence of a new member of the Burns family in the capital.

This concerned Sibino, who was passionate about developing his family and aspired to acquire the title of Duke.

Perhaps the Burns family wouldn’t help him achieve the dukedom, but as long as they didn’t oppose him, that was sufficient.

There was no helping it; the Burns family’s status in the Bolin Kingdom was that transcendent.

Recently, however, Sibino, bothered by many issues, had no time to pay attention to the happenings in the Royal Capital; even now, he had no clues about Augustus’s disappearance.

And here the Miss of the Burns family suddenly arrived in Kate City and sought to visit him, which piqued his curiosity.

But when Sibino’s gaze turned to Lis, he immediately realized his mistake.

As one of only two Gold-level professionals in his family, he was very confident; confident that no one could harm him in his presence.

This was one of the reasons the Kate family had thrived in recent years.

For this reason, there were no guards in the room besides the servant who had just entered and exited.

But upon looking at Lis, he suddenly felt the young man’s once tranquil aura change.

The previously calm, stream-like aura, now, in the eyes of Marquis Kate, seemed like an endless ocean whipped up by a sudden vicious wind, with towering waves surging amongst storms and thunder.

This Lis Kain…

is a Gold-level warrior?!

Sibino’s hands tightly gripped the armrests of the sofa, his body instantly tensing up.

Impossible!

Even as a Gold-level warrior, one’s aura alone couldn’t possibly make him feel such an immense threat, could it?

Could it be…

the power of an Extraordinary Domain?!

Sibino’s expression grew serious as he nervously watched the calm Lis.

“Mr.

Lis, is there anything you need my assistance with?”
