The butler Jace seemed to perform magic, producing a nobleman's attire from behind.
He walked to Kane's side and personally helped him change into the outfit.
After the tidying up, Kane instructed Katherine, who was nearby.
"Katherine, go to the living room first to comfort the soldiers' emotions, and then send the wounded to the medical room."
"Yes, my lord," Katherine nodded and hurriedly went to execute the orders.
Kane then led Jace to the outer corridor hall.
All the castle's servants had gathered here, looking at Kane with concern.
Fortunately, these rebels did not harm them. Otherwise, Kane estimated that Lim would be quite busy tonight.
After a light cough to attract everyone's attention, Kane spoke.
"Everyone, don't worry. The rebels led by Host and all its members have been suppressed by us. I will handle this issue next. Please rest assured."
After soothing the emotions of the servants, Kane let them disperse.
Then, he turned to Jace and said, "Jace, go bring the person who witnessed my transformation tonight."
Originally, Kane had planned to develop slowly, but Host's actions disrupted his original plan.
He exposed the fact that he could transform into a werewolf in front of everyone.
Indeed, as Host had said earlier, if this matter reached the ears of the kingdom's nobility, Kane might be accused of colluding with outsiders.
They wouldn't care whether he was really colluding; they would only care that a werewolf lord had appeared in their kingdom.
According to Kane's speculation, being deprived of the territory, exiled, or even imprisoned by the kingdom's mages for inhumane experiments were all possibilities.
Kane returned to his study, waiting for Jace to bring the person.
Soon, there was a voice outside the door.
"My lord, it's me," Jace said from outside.
Kane was sitting upright and said to the entrance, "Come in."
Jace opened the door to the study, leading in a slightly nervous young man.
This person was the servant who had witnessed Kane's transformation. He had been called in by Kane earlier to clean up in the dining room but unexpectedly got involved in Host's rebellion.
Jace saluted Kane, and the young man imitated him quickly.
"My lord, the person is here," Jace reported.
Kane nodded, "Well done, Jace."
After receiving Kane's approval, Jace exited the study, leaving Kane alone with the young man.
Kane watched the young man, who had tightly clasped his hands, scattered his eyes, and continuously rubbed his thumbs against each other.
Perhaps seeing his helpless nervousness, Kane smiled and gestured for him to sit down.
"Sit."
At Kane's words, the young man quickly sat down in front of Kane. It was the first time he faced Kane directly.
Suddenly, as if making a decision, the young man earnestly said, "Lord Kane, I will keep this secret, please spare my life."
To show his friendliness, Kane smiled and let him sit down.
"Young man, there's no need to be so formal. Now, tell me where you're from."
"My lord, I'm called Cetus, and I come from the village of Mako under your rule," the young man truthfully explained.
Kane continued to ask, "Very good. Are your parents well at home?"
"Very healthy, they work in the fields and water the crops every day."
"Do you have siblings?"
"Yes, two younger sisters and one younger brother."
"With so many children, taking care of them must be quite troublesome, right?"
The young man began to relax a bit, talking about his family with a smile, "My sisters are very quiet, but my only brother often runs out to play. I always have to catch him and bring him back."
"That sounds mischievous."
"Yes, my lord. This kid has never been obedient since he was a child," speaking of his brother, Cetus laughed.
Kane then asked, "You're so young, and yet you've come to work here. It must be tough, isn't it?"
Cetus hurriedly waved his hands, "Not at all, my lord. I'm happy to help my parents bear the burden at home."
Suddenly, Kane stood up and looked out the window, saying, "Cetus, what do you think if I offer you a chance to become my attendant?"
Cetus quickly stood up, "My lord, this can't be, how can someone like me become your attendant..."
Kane turned around, patting the young man's shoulder, "People should not degrade themselves. Not only do I want to accept you as my attendant, but I am also willing to provide financial support for your parents so that they can enjoy their later years."
Cetus became flustered, not knowing how to respond, "My lord, I really can't afford this..."
Cetus kept waving his hands, unsure of what to do. He was about to kneel down and beg Kane not to make things difficult for him.
Kane helped him up with a smile, saying, "Don't rush to refuse. Being my attendant is not that easy. Take these two practice manuals back and read them carefully. Come find me tomorrow after you've looked through them."
Cetus carefully took the two books. From Kane's words just now, he had learned that these were the legendary supernatural cultivation methods.
For an ordinary person like him, there was hardly a chance to come into contact with such extraordinary things. However, Kane was willing to give him this opportunity.
Before, he was truly afraid. He feared that after Kane gave his parents some money, he would find an opportunity to kill him. This was not impossible; there had been a case several years ago where a servant accidentally discovered a secret of a count and was secretly dealt with under some pretext.
Cetus looked at Kane with gratitude and admiration in his eyes, devoid of fear. Kane had just given him a chance.
He solemnly bowed to Kane and then said, "I, Cetus Teapot, will never let you down, my lord. I swear to be loyal to you for the rest of my life."
Kane chuckled, "Alright, don't make it so solemn. Go back and rest first."
"Yes, Lord Kane." Cetus said loudly, saluting Kane again, then walked out of the study in a serious and orderly manner.
After Cetus closed the door, Kane sighed deeply. It was indeed a troublesome autumn.
Forced by circumstances, Kane had no choice but to resort to this plan. As for whether he believed that the other party would not reveal his secret, Kane did not have that confidence.
He had to seek a way to make him follow him every day. Fortunately, Kane had not yet recruited an attendant, so he wanted to let this person serve as one.
As for the cultivation methods he gave him, they were only the practice methods for swordsmen and wizards passed down among the nobility and even the wealthy merchant class.
Regarding whether this new attendant had the talent to become extraordinary, Kane didn't care. Before the storm passed, if he could stay with him all the time, it would be enough.
