He can still endure it!

Since that is the case.

What kind of situation would cause the Duke of Red Dragon to lash out in rage and humiliation?

And then recklessly start a war?

Godfrey frowned; he felt his mind wasn't sharp enough.

He couldn't fathom the coming twists and turns in the Karedi Empire!

However.

Godfrey thought for a moment, then felt relieved.

He was deep in Morgan Town, far too distant from Bordeaux City.

He couldn't gather much useful intelligence at all.

Besides, though he was the knight commander and advisor beside Lawrence.

He was ultimately just an executor of plans!

Godfrey acknowledged, then spoke to Doyle, "Understood, I'll inform Lord Lawrence right away."

Doyle quickly responded, "Thank you, Knight Commander Godfrey."

Godfrey nodded, turned, and walked towards the brothel's hall.

As he reached the stairs leading up, Danke stepped alongside him.

Danke inquired, "Sir, are we preparing to return?"

Godfrey glanced at Danke and said, "Yes, prepare for departure, and gather the team."

Danke promptly replied, "Yes, Sir."

Wasting no words, Godfrey moved, climbing the stairs.

He ascended to the second floor, then stepped forward to the third.

Walking through several corridors, Godfrey stopped at a room guarded by two soldiers.

Even though the double wooden doors were tightly closed.

He could still clearly hear the sounds of clapping coming through the door cracks.

Godfrey took a small breath and raised his right hand, knocking rhythmically on the door several times.

Thud~ thud thud~

Godfrey reminded, "Master, it is I, Godfrey."

His voice fell.

The clapping sounds behind the door continued, rising and falling.

Godfrey frowned slightly and knocked on the door again.

His voice grew a bit louder, as he continued, "Lord Lawrence."

The next moment.

Lawrence's somewhat impatient voice came from behind the door.

"Come in!"

Hearing this, Godfrey extended both hands to slowly push open the double wooden doors before him.

Instantly.

A rich mixture of odd smells greeted Godfrey's face.

Godfrey instinctively held his breath.

He walked several meters into the room, arriving before a fallen silk curtain.

Godfrey lowered his head and reported, "Master, the Marquis has dispatched family soldiers to escort you back to the castle."

Inside the room.

Godfrey's entry did not cause the strange sounds to stop.

Just as Godfrey's words fell.

Lawrence's displeased voice echoed from behind the curtain.

"Mark Ducas is rather meddlesome, isn't he?"

"I haven't even competed with him for the marquis title."

"And now he dares to interfere with my actions?"

Godfrey said nothing, still standing behind the curtain.

Lawrence scolded, "Tell those who came to get lost."

"Let them tell Mark Ducas that I'll return after I've had my fun!"

Godfrey reminded, "Master, the person who came is Doyle, along with nearly a hundred heavy knights."

Upon hearing Godfrey's words.

The clapping sounds in the room abruptly stopped.

Lawrence, lying on the large bed, turned back to look towards Godfrey behind the curtain and asked.

"Doyle Gack?"

Godfrey responded, "Yes, Master, it is indeed the Defense Commander of the Marquis's Castle, Doyle Gack."

A few seconds later.

Lawrence's brows immediately furrowed as he asked, "Is Mark crazy?"

"Allowing the defense commander to leave Bordeaux City?"

"Does he not fear that during Doyle's absence, enemies might attack Bordeaux City?"

Godfrey explained, "Master, I surmise the Marquis wants to ensure your return."

"After all, Doyle follows only the Marquis's orders."

"If I inform him of what you just said, I believe Doyle would unhesitatingly rush into your room with the family soldiers."

Lawrence's expression immediately darkened.

It seemed thoughts churned in his mind.

As Lawrence pondered, a scolding voice suddenly erupted from his mouth.

"Get lost!"

"Looking at you makes me sick!"

Four or five women lying on the large bed were instantly startled awake.

Terror-stricken, they bolted towards the room's door.

Seeing those women, with body weights even exceeding his own.

Godfrey couldn't help but frown.

What had Lawrence been through to develop a desire for such women?

Of course.

This was merely his thought; he naturally wouldn't question Lawrence in the room about it.

But reflecting further.

Compared to most noble lords, Lawrence's preferences seemed quite normal.

At least, the targets of his indulgences were regular women.

Unlike those other lord nobles, especially the Great Lord!

Widely known as one of the Three Great Dukes, Duke Cangyu!

Who is known for having particular tastes.

As Godfrey awaited.

Lawrence was already dressed and emerged from behind the curtain, passing by him.

Seeing Godfrey not following, Lawrence threw a cold glance at him.

Lawrence coldly said, "What are you standing there for?"

"Gather the team, return to Bordeaux City!"

Godfrey promptly responded, "Yes, Master!"

With that, Godfrey took his stride, following Lawrence down to the brothel's first floor.

Upon reaching the brothel's entrance.

Lawrence's gaze scanned the surroundings.

The sight of soldiers wearing the Sword and Shield Corps' armor instantly came into his view.

Especially the family crest of a greatsword and round shield on their chest armor!

An unexplainable boldness surged from Lawrence's heart.

Turning again.

Lawrence's gaze settled on the robust figure waiting — Defense Commander Doyle Gack of Bordeaux.

But he merely glanced, then chose to ignore him.

Lawrence took a deep breath and commanded, "Return to Bordeaux!"

He mounted his horse, resting his feet on the stirrups, and with a swift lash of the whip in his right hand, struck the horse's flank.

With a painful neigh, the horse reared its front hooves high.

Upon landing, the horse galloped forward along the road.

Seeing this, Godfrey and the others.

Also spurred their mounts, chasing after Lawrence.

The grand scale and imposing momentum caught the townsfolk's attention.

Soldiers of the Ducas Clan's Sword and Shield Corps galloped out of the town.

Sprinting along the road to Kakasong City.

Trailing not far behind Lawrence, Godfrey suddenly thought of something.

He glanced back once.

In that direction lay the domain of Lord Lynn!
