Heavy footsteps echoed as Lucien, clad in silver-white armor, entered Swan Castle.

An attendant took Lucien's removed helmet and sword, while a charming maid bowed to Lucien, presenting a clean damp towel.

Lucien wiped his face with the towel, asking, "Where is the lady?"

The maid, taking the damp towel, replied softly, "The Countess is changing clothes upstairs."

Lucien nodded, ascended the spiral staircase to the second floor, and pushed open a wooden door. He found that Countess Schultz had already changed into a pure black ceremonial dress.

Her hair was styled in the latest aristocratic bun, a string of crystal clear and round pearls hung around her creamy neck. Her exquisite features were delicately made up, making her look graceful and gorgeous.

"You're back," Countess Schultz greeted her husband with a smile, taking a few steps forward to help him out of his armor. "Did you find anything today?" she asked.
