Surrounding them were massive reinforced walls that went all around the Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stationed on each wall was a spirit mage guard ranging from C to A ranks. Each ensuring that no danger got within a hundred feet of the Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Ardent carriage, Renelle looked at her father’s face before she felt someone gripping her hand, pulling her attention to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother, the grand duchess, had a smile on her face as her green eyes locked with her daughter’s blue ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look so much like your father now that you’re all grown up,\" She said with a chuckle before looking at the grand duke, \"but I guess that’s not a bad thing, after all, my husband is quite handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boreas pretended not to hear, but if one were to look closer, they’d notice that his ears were completely red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that the Grand Duchess definitely noticed and she chuckled again, she then turned towards Renelle who was still looking at her smiling mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed so much,\" she said quietly, \"your childhood, your growth and all the little moments in between.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she had insisted on contracting an ice spirit just a year after Renelle’s birth and things did not go as well as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ended up almost freezing to death, which she would’ve if it wasn’t for her daughter’s butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Duchess gripped Renelle’s hand tighter and muttered, \"I promise I’ll be present in every moment of your life from this point on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renelle silently continued looking at her for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how her mother always was, wasn’t it? She might not remember much, but she at least remembered the warmth she always provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll hold you to that,\" she finally answered with a genuine smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, this life wasn’t the same as the last, right now, things were different and it was all thanks to a certain obsessive butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Renelle glanced at the bracelet on her wrist as she thought, ’maybe I should’ve let him come along?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t say it out loud, but she truly did miss his presence. Renelle couldn’t help but let out a chuckle as she recalled the face he made when she ordered him to stay back at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like some type of abandoned puppy, fortunately, the desire to not embarrass herself in front of him was a lot convincing than the way he looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Duchess noticed the smile on her daughter’s face and was about to ask, but the carriage soon stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking outside, she noticed that they had reached reached the Castle gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guard soon approached them, clad in polished armor with the royal crest etched into his chest plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence alone suggested he wasn’t just any ordinary soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"State your identity,\" he called out firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could say anything, Boreas opened the carriage door himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe my family’s crest is visibly engraved on the carriage, no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped out, the guard’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"G-Grand Duke Ardent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man immediately straightened, lowering his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, Your Grace,\" the guard started, quickly realizing his mistake, \"we were instructed to increase security due to the Academy’s headmistress’s vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Boreas replied, glancing at the the nervous guards at the gate, wondering exactly what that troublesome woman had seen this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without saying anything else, he walked into the carriage again and the guard also turned around and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OPEN THE GATES!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without question, the heavy gates were pulled open and the carriage was allowed into the castle grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It truly is as fascinating as I remember,\" Grand Duchess Anna Ardent said, the moment she exited the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been years since she was last in this place, and yet, it didn’t seem to change at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just as fascinating and at the same time, overwhelming as she recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renelle, on the other hand, looked at the building ahead of them. It had been a few weeks since the royal ball and she hadn’t expected to return here so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, at least this time, she was here for a reason other than seeing the prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with how sudden the Grand Duke’s visit was, Renelle was certain that the prince was still at the academy, unaware of this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian walked beside them without an ounce of emotion on his face as they continued up the stairs that led to the main entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their visit was sudden, he still didn’t appreciate the lack of a proper welcome, which was very clearly a disrespect to his master’s title as a Grand Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the king had been made aware of their presence from the moment they reached the Royal Capital, so him not properly welcoming them was a delibrate choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he chose to say nothing, not until they outright insulted his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, making a move right now would not serve in the Grand Duke’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family of three and their head butler soon reached the main door that led into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there waiting was a man dressed similarly to Sebastian without the monocle. He approached and gave a small bow before saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We apologize for the lacking welcome but his majesty has been on edge since yesterday,\" the man said, \"so we hope the grand duke understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boreas just simply looked at the bowing man without saying anything. It seemed the years he had spent avoiding conflicts and focusing on healing his wife had helped painted a different image of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was time to start reminding them exactly why he was a Grand Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, probably a butler, then looked up at the Grand Duke’s face before adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His majesty will see you, in the main hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7e20a42ac8d9a129557bb902da512537e22ce7b7cbda13ad1adec0183e14596","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-50","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-49",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
