Knowing that something might have happened to his family, Richard no longer had the heart to wander around. After the city gates of Tuanan City opened in the morning, he led his entourage into Tuanan City and returned to the wizarding world through the plane space channel.

Half a month later, Richard brought Hansen and drove back to Henry's castle in a carriage.

Richard asked all the knights except Hansen to go back home first.

Looking at the castle decorated with lights and colors, Richard's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Is there some happy event in his family?

The owner of the duel arena reminded me just to get me to come back and participate in this happy event?

Forget it, let’s ignore it for now and go back and take a look first.

The castle gate was not closed and was guarded by two warriors.

"Are you here for a wedding?"

The two soldiers saw Richard and Hansen and asked quickly.

After all, Richard was dressed in aristocratic clothes, and Hansen was obviously his subordinate. His aura was already that of a second-level knight, so his strength was already quite strong compared to them.

"Are you blind? Look who I am?"

Richard didn't say anything in the carriage. The person who answered them was Hansen. Before following Richard, Hansen was the instructor who trained new recruits under Henry. These two guards were trained by Hansen.

It had only been three years since they last met, and Hansen's temperament had changed a lot. In addition, the Xavier family was having a wedding recently, and many people came to congratulate them, so they didn't recognize him.

After hearing Hansen's words, the two guards quickly looked at Richard and Hansen carefully. Richard's appearance had changed a lot in the past three years, but his handsome face left a deep impression on them. As for Hansen, his skin had become much whiter in the Ouyun plane, but his image of a strict instructor in the past could still be seen.

"It turns out to be Lord Richard, and Lord Knight Hansen."

The two guards quickly bowed and stepped forward to hold the carriage.

Richard had also heard the two guards' questions just now. It turned out that the Xavier family was going to hold a wedding. Seeing the grand decorations, it was most likely the wedding of Richard's half-brother, sixteen-year-old Tim.

"Is it Tim's wedding?"

"Yes, Sir Richard."

Although Richard did not have a high status in the Xavier family in the past, he had come back once when he broke through to become a formal wizard three years ago, and his status had changed a lot.

"It seems I have to prepare a gift as well."

Richard thought that among the Xavier family, Baron Henry was the one who inherited the title and fiefdom, so he had the greatest power.

Baron Henry was very romantic. He married three wives and had many lovers. However, most of those lovers were just one-night stands and did not give birth to any children for Henry.

Of the three wives, only Tim's mother, Jennifer, could be called a Baroness.

She gave birth to two sons for Baron Henry. One was Richard's elder brother Amy, who had already started a family, and the other was Tim who was about to get married. Both of them had the right to inherit Baron Henry's title and fiefdom, so their relationship was very ordinary when Tim was very young.

As for Richard, since he had no right of inheritance and had become a formal wizard, he became the target of the two men's efforts to win over.

Thinking of this, Richard frowned. He didn't want to see his two half-brothers resorting to swords against each other.

However, it is not uncommon in the Kingdom of Jeff for the descendants of nobles to do anything to fight for the right of inheritance.

It seems that Richard may have to step in to mediate in the future. After all, Baron Henry is less than 50 years old now, and as a third-level knight, he should be able to live for many years.

Richard asked Hansen to move the things in the carriage back to his room, and then walked into the castle under the guidance of the guards.

In the castle, Baron Henry and Jennifer had already known the news of Richard's return, and had temporarily put down their work. In fact, there was not much for them to do in the castle, so they waited in the reception room.

Richard walked into the living room and saw Henry and Jennifer.

I saw that both of them looked much older, and they seemed to be worried about something, with their brows furrowed.

Richard knew that after Jennifer found many lovers with Baron Henry, she paid more attention to her appearance. In addition, she was not a professional, so she always used various alchemical cosmetics on a daily basis.

But now, all you can see on Jennifer's face are a lot of wrinkles, without her usual alchemical makeup.

It seems that a lot of things have happened to the Xavier family.

"Richard, you're back."

Seeing Richard, Henry and Jennifer also stood up and came forward to greet him.

Richard nodded. Baron Henry was his father after all, and Jennifer was quite nice to him after taking him back to the castle.

He immediately responded: "My military service just ended half a month ago, and I wanted to go home first, so I didn't delay on the road and came back directly."

"It's good to be back! Tim's wedding is about to take place, so you can stay in the castle and attend the wedding first."

"Ah."

Just then, a sharp voice suddenly came.

"Who is back? Why are the Baron and his wife meeting secretly? Can't I come and see it too?"

A tall man walked in. He looked somewhat similar to Jennifer, and he exuded the aura of a third-level knight.

"who are you?"

Richard looked at the knight in front of him without any fear, but Henry and Jennifer both had ugly looks on their faces.

"I am Babbitt, the housekeeper hired by Mrs. Jennifer. I am in charge of the family affairs now."

You know, Baron Henry is only a third-level knight. It is very unreasonable for this third-level knight to say that he is Baron Henry's butler.

"and who are you?"

"This is Baron Henry's son, Wizard Richard. He was participating in the war in the Ouyun plane and just came back today. I want him to attend his brother Tim's wedding. Is that okay?"

"Of course, since you are the Baron's son, then you can stay here for now!"

Babbitt looked at Richard carefully, found nothing wrong, and turned and left.

Richard saw that Babbitt was very arrogant and did not look like a butler at all. He quickly asked Henry and Jennifer what was going on.

After some explanation from the Baron and Jennifer, Richard finally figured out what had happened.

It turns out that Babbitt is from Jennifer's original family.

After Baron Henry and the maid gave birth to Richard, the power and affairs of the family were gradually managed by Jennifer. Jennifer looked for experienced talents from her original family and placed them in the Xavier family to help her manage affairs.

But this caused trouble...
