Chapter 410: Lord Burns's Mission

Burns Mansion, in the reception room,

Unlike the castle's mysterious and dark exterior, this reception room exuded a sense of classical elegance. The spacious area was bathed in soft lighting that spilled over every inch of exquisite decoration, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.

The walls around were adorned with carefully selected paintings that served as historical traces, telling tales of past glory and stories. Among them, a portrait was particularly eye-catching; it occupied the central position on one wall as if it were the focal point of the entire space.

The background of this portrait was the castle itself. The middle-aged man depicted wore a pure black, ornate garment. His handsome features seemed to harbor a hint of mystery and darkness. His right hand held a gold and black patterned scepter, and he looked off into the distance with an air of expectation.

Lis looked at the portrait with interest, his fingers gently tracing the bronze frame.
