412 Marquis Kate’s Unpreparedness_3 But Angela was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the bona fide little Princess of the Burns family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she appeared in Acot City, the Great Nobles of the Bolin Kingdom must have already grasped information about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the status of the Duke Burns family, it would be very easy for her to meet Marquis Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the guard’s report, the manager of Kate Castle hurriedly rushed out with a quick jog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Angela Burns, greetings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis Kain, greetings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The somewhat portly manager bowed, speaking with a respectful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After receiving your letter of visitation yesterday, Marquis Kate has been waiting in the reception room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, after coming back from Andre’s, he had also sent a letter to the castle using Angela’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for himself, he was a friend of Angela, a noble from another country traveling through Bolin Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager looked at Augustus, furrowing his brows in question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Haka…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the brim of his hat, Augustus glanced sidelong at the chubby manager in front of him and sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Miss Angela’s guard, specially arranged by Duke Burns himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on Lis’s face as he spoke naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Haka took another glance at Augustus, said nothing further, and began leading Lis and the others towards the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded, and alongside Angela, walked into the reception room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious room’s gold and deep red velvet curtains fluttered in the wind, whispering of past glories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the walls, exquisite murals depicted the glory and elegance of the ancestral Kates, every stroke revealing the profound heritage of the Kate family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding sofas were all meticulously crafted, inlaid with gemstones and pearls, glimmering attractively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the main seat sat an old man with grizzled hair, who seemed to be in his fifties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was like the frosty leaves of autumn, with silver white intertwined with strands of black, bearing the marks of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His features were firm and profound, like a rock weathered by time, sturdy and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the ornately carved wooden bench, his posture was upright and imposing, like an unshakeable mountain, his presence serious and imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that Marquis Kate was actually a Gold-level warrior, this feeling must be from someone in the warrior profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis thought to himself, moving forward to sit down together with Angela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Augustus saw the old man, his body trembled slightly, but he quickly steadied himself and stood at a moderate distance from Angela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, esteemed guests, to Kate City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Sebino Kate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded to Lis and Angela, speaking in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this be Miss Angela Burns?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have long admired your father and truly hope to visit Duke Burns one day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a nudge from Lis, Angela nodded slightly, but her gaze had already fallen onto the delicate pastries on the small table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this would suffice; the rest I could handle myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shook his head, looking at Sibino, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you, Marquis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sibino’s gaze finally shifted to Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up until now, all of his attention had been captivated by Angela as soon as the group entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was Angela’s unique aura and her outstanding appearance, though for Sibino now, it was reduced to mere appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, it was Angela’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Burns family was the most mysterious and universally acknowledged as the most powerful noble family in the Bolin Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seldom appeared before outsiders, generally active only within their family’s domains, with very few knowing the people of the Burns family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reasons unknown, the Burns family seemed indifferent to everything–wealth, power, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t care; the tax rates required from their territory’s people were the lowest, almost negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concerned Sibino, who was passionate about developing his family and aspired to acquire the title of Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Burns family wouldn’t help him achieve the dukedom, but as long as they didn’t oppose him, that was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no helping it; the Burns family’s status in the Bolin Kingdom was that transcendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here the Miss of the Burns family suddenly arrived in Kate City and sought to visit him, which piqued his curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Sibino’s gaze turned to Lis, he immediately realized his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the reasons the Kate family had thrived in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, there were no guards in the room besides the servant who had just entered and exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon looking at Lis, he suddenly felt the young man’s once tranquil aura change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lis Kain…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is a Gold-level warrior?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sibino’s hands tightly gripped the armrests of the sofa, his body instantly tensing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a Gold-level warrior, one’s aura alone couldn’t possibly make him feel such an immense threat, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝοѵǤօ.сօ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the power of an Extraordinary Domain?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sibino’s expression grew serious as he nervously watched the calm Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, is there anything you need my assistance with?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-03T10:58:35.924Z","2026-06-03T10:58:42.148Z",1,"novelbin.me","d70ea1e5f15dc196694400280657aba55bff1ffa1d0a586d43dec9554252e513","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-619","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-617",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
