Lucius had not expected that he would be able to get this information this quickly.

"Really?" Lucius asked again.

"Yes, that is common information. After all, it isn\'t common for other nobles to send gifts to the viscount and to know what he likes is an important factor. The servants are also able to make some extra money on the side by helping them out.

Since this isn\'t exactly any sensitive information." Kiana explained.

Hearing this, Lucius finally understood the issue.

"I see. Then I would like to get information on what kind of food the Viscount generally eats. Right from the basic ingredients all the way to the people that prepare it." Lucius asked.

"Hmm… getting information about the food won\'t be hard. And I\'ll see what can be done about the rest." Kiana spoke.

"Very well. I\'ll wait for the news then." Lucius said as he went back to his work. 

Kiana went to do the task she was assigned as well, and the day passed rather quickly. In the coming few days, Lucius read more books and tried to find information about the legendary gift requirements that he had seen for Arius, Cohen, and Carlyle.

Lucius had also tried to see if he could see the upgrade requirements for Kiana, but they were simply unavailable to him despite having all of his Aether available to him. He guessed that Kiana\'s gift might be just a little more complex than the others and thus needed more Aether to glance at.

About a week after the three assassins had left to do their mission, Lucius had started to get reports about their actions. This had actually come as a general notice for everyone, and even the commoners knew of it.

It was sent out as a warning that there was a new group of bandits wandering the land of Viscount Drew and that passing through it was becoming dangerous. Gabriel had also increased the security around the borders of Viscount Drew\'s territory just in case they ever tried to come here.

If it had been the past, then Gabriel might have even sent out more soldiers to check out the situation in the territory of Viscount Drew and help him out. But now, all they needed to do was wait and watch.

As more days passed, the more uneasy the people became. The efficiency of the three assassins with their new gifts was simply too good, and they only left behind dead bodies. It had reached a point where the Viscount didn\'t know what to do and had already requested the kingdom for help.

The time needed for the kingdom to respond would obviously not be short and thus all Vi count Drew do right now was to bide his time. This in addition to some extra stress from other situations had made him tensed.

People would of course, whispes behind his back and there were rumors aplenty about his son who had been hidden away because he became cursed and how leaving the Land of Etara had made him cursed.

People didn\'t really know why the man had left the land of Etara when it was clear that the risks outweighed the benefits. By effectively putting an embargo of travel and good to the Land of Etara, the Viscount had also insulated himself from other territories.

Of course, during a stressful time as such, a lot of other nobles would like to take advantage of it and raise their own standing in the noble circle. Thus they would send gifts and many such things to the Viscount.

It was during this time that Lucius asked Alessa to make some changes to a certain batch of Humble blaze that was going to be shipped to the territory of Viscount Drew. 

Lita, Gabriel, and others were a bit surprised and wondered if Lucius wanted to poison the viscount this was. It was not a good method and would be caught rather easily and would bring endless troubles if it got out.

But when they heard the change Lucius wanted to make, they were relieved. One of the ingredients that they used in the surfactant of Humble blaze was Slaked Lime, which was also called as Calcium Hydroxide.

It was used to reduce the acidity of the wine and make it a bit more alkaline to balance it out and enhance its shelf life. What Lucius asked was to simply increase the quantity of Slaked Lime by a certain amount.

Now, this amount was definitely higher than what would normally be used in wine production, but the taste difference from it was barely perceptible. One could even say that it gave a slightly different flavor, which some people might even like.

Seeing this change to be rather mundane, they quickly made the change, and this particular batch of wine was sold off to the merchants who sold it off to the other retailers in the Territory of Viscount Drew.

In the ten days, from the production of wine to the shipping of wine, Lucius kept a close eye on the different affairs of the kingdom along with the territory of Viscount drew.

He also got the information about what the viscount liked to eat or what he ate in general. And when he saw the list Lucius couldn\'t help but smile.

"Perfect… just the item that needs to be there…" Lucius muttered to himself.

Kiana, who had brought the report, heard Lucius and was confused. 

"What item?" Kiana asked. 

"Nothing particular… thanks for the work. I\'m pleased with the report." Lucius replied.

Getting the cue that Lucius didn\'t really want to speak about it right now, Kiana held her silence and accepted the gratitude.

"The disturbance called by the three assassins, the modified wine and now this list. What exactly is our aim here?" Kiana asked.

"Well… I just want the Viscount to be very uncomfortable and stressed in his time. He cannot be left to relax after what he has done to us, of course.." Lucius simply stated.
