HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Then I wish Mr. Cavendish a safe journey back to Germany."

"Of course, I will visit the Grand Duke when I come back. I hope the Grand Duke will not turn me away."

After hearing Asseth's words, the Grand Duke of York calmly put away the smile in his eyes.

"In that case, I won't delay your schedule."

Assess seemed unaware of the disappearance of his smile, and sent the Grand Duke of York away warmly and politely.

The Duke of York turned around, the expression on his face became ugly, this damn Cavendish is coming back.

Dua watched the Grand Duke come and go with confusion.

on the plane

Aces closed his eyes and rested.

The other three were doing their own things, and only Dua looked at Asseth with a troubled expression.

He still hadn't figured out the conversation between Asseth and the Grand Duke of York just now, and why Asseth was not surprised by the appearance of the Grand Duke.

"If you really don't understand, you can try to analyze it from the perspective of a businessman. There is actually no difference between politics and business."

"And don't stare at me."

Aces suddenly interrupted Dua's gaze.

Dua smiled awkwardly and turned his head to think about what Ases had said. After a moment, a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

When he turned to look at Asseth again, there was a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

"Ta", his fingertips tapped on the seat, making a reminder sound.

Dua understood and turned his head to stop looking at Asseth.

Outside the window, white clouds are within reach, connecting with the blue sky, and everything in the world is enveloped.

Dua gradually lost consciousness as he looked out the window. Except for Asseth who closed his eyes to rest and Joel who had been on the plane, several people also looked out the window curiously.

For wizards, this is the first time they fly without a broomstick.

The plane carried several people and flew smoothly to Germany.

When he landed, Asseth's spirit had recovered a lot.

"Let's go," he said.

Several people followed Aces and walked through the crowd to get off the plane.

There is an arranged pick-up service outside the aircraft.

As soon as Assis and the others walked out, Albert, who was in charge of picking up the plane, saw them.

Albert, who was wearing a slim-fitting black coat, quickly arranged his clothes and came forward.

Albert is not very old, and his face is somewhat similar to Joel's. He looks like a relative of Joel, and his clothes are similar to Joel's.

He walked up and said hello to Asseth first.

"Hello, Master Asseth, I am Albert Snow, who is responsible for the affairs around you."

Responsible for affairs?

Duva's ears picked up the key words quickly and he stared at Albert warily.

"Hello, Albert."

Aces nodded slightly.

Albert looked into the bottomless black eyes and subconsciously raised his hand to salute, but then suddenly took it back the next second.

Aces raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Joel, who was behind him, saw this and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Albert, long time no see, why are you still so reckless? Let's go, don't waste time."

Albert was pushed forward, muttering to himself that Joel was standing and talking because his back hurt. It was him who acted foolishly in front of Master Artes, not Joel.

But it’s so stressful when Master Asseth’s eyes look at each other! I don’t know if it’s easy to get along with them.

Albert was a little worried about his future life.

During the rest of the trip, Albert tightened his nerves and made no more mistakes.

Half an hour later, Aces and his party were successfully sent to a castle.

The castle is located on a hill, and there is only one road leading to the castle from the entire mountain.

The castle is surrounded by a moat and surrounded by lush trees.

Aces glanced over and saw many precious varieties.

"The castle is a gift that the old Duke and the old lady prepared for the young master long ago."

"Those are tree species specially collected by the owner and his wife. Not only do they look good, they are always green all year round."

Albert introduced Asseth with a wink.

Asseth pursed his lips and quickened his pace a little.

The gate of the castle slowly opened as everyone arrived, silently welcoming the owner of the castle.

From the outside of the castle, the castle is already very big.

Once inside, Asses realized that the castle was actually much larger than it seemed.

Lookouts, towers, walls, battlements, trenches, moats and drawbridges can be seen everywhere.

Unlike the elegant and tranquil manor, the castle in front of you is more like a cold and solemn military fortress. Coldly guarding against outside prying eyes.

Aces had no doubt of the castle's usefulness.

Albert led a few people into this military fortress.

As soon as he entered, a neat row of servants greeted Asseth.

"Master Asseth."

"Well, you go and do your work."

After hearing his words, a dozen servants retreated in an orderly manner without making any footsteps.

"I just don't like this feeling, that's why I'm running around."

Susanna hugged Elise and whispered to her.

After arriving at the castle, Elise had been following Artes with some restraint. Now after hearing Susanna's words, she silently agreed in her heart.

Asseth also heard this.

"gone."

Albert quickly walked forward to lead the way.

The decoration inside the castle was different from the cold and serious outside. Inside was the gorgeousness that Asses was familiar with.

Sparkling crystal chandeliers hung down, covering the hall with soft warm light.

In the warm light, six people sat neatly on the sofa in the center of the hall, smiling at Asseth and his group who walked in.

In the middle of the sofa were the Duke and Anna, with two other elderly couples sitting on either side of them.

The two old men closest to the Duke and Anna kept glaring at each other. The smiles on their faces barely disappeared, but they could not hide the distortion.

The clothes of the old people are quite elegant. From their hair, equipment to their feet, not a single detail is missing. The solemn meaning in them can be seen at a glance.

Anna stood up suddenly.

"Baby, I miss you so much, come and let mommy hug you."

She rushed towards Asseth at an extremely fast speed. Asses subconsciously caught it with both hands and put it down far away.

It had become a habit for him to avoid Susanna these days.

Susanna burst out laughing.

Anna looked at Asseth in disbelief.

"Baby, you?"

"Sorry mother, I didn't mean it, I'm just used to it these days."

Aces had no choice but to explain.

Anna's gaze instantly went to Susanna who was pretending that she didn't exist.

"Um...I have something to do, let's talk about it later."

The foot oiling technique appeared again, and Suzanne smiled playfully, said hello to the sofa, and quickly fled the scene.

Looking at Susanna's retreating back, Anna snorted coldly and hugged Asseth distressedly.

"Baby, it's hard to face this thing every day."

Waves of warmth came from the warm hands. Feeling the worry inside, Asseth chuckled and hugged Anna.

"It's actually not bad."

This simple sentence made Anna feel even more sorry for Asseth. As a mother, how could she not know that something was wrong with her child.

It's just that Asses didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force him to say it.
