Chapter 478: The Duke Testing His Own People

The carriage Arabella and Ferdinand were about to use had a Valerian design but did not have their insignia or that of any of the households so it would remain a mystery who visited Olivier that day. Unless Sonia and the butler, or any of their accomplices would have the chance to reveal they visited in person.

As agreed before, they would pretend to have just stopped by Olivier for a bit to send Dimo home, but the goal was to have Sonia sign the agreement for Dimo to stay in Riva.

When they arrived, Duke Olivier was already there waiting for them, along with his most trusted knights.

Everyone greeted them, albeit stiffly. The knights tried to look calm and collected but it was clear they were nervous and on alarm.

[It's truly the Emperor and Empress of Valeria!! Why is His Grace meeting with them? He didn't tell us the details.]
