After leaving the Glorious Church, Colin walked at a leisurely pace back to Swan Castle on his own.
From the butler, he learned that Count Schultz had just left to inspect the territory.
Colin didn't bother.
Having just experienced Lucien's "rebellion", the Countess needed to quickly appease the people and deal with the remnants of Lucien's forces.
Having lost their top warrior, Lucien, the Schultz Family could only rely on Colin if they still wanted to maintain their superior position in the North Territory. Schultz Family's other members should also realize this, and make the correct choice.
Not until the night fell and Colin was preparing for a bath after dinner under the attendance of the maid did the butler come to announce that Count Schultz had returned to Swan Castle.
"I see. I will meet the Count after my bath."
