In a heavily guarded room at Monica Manor, Solo. Count Bell smiled and saw off Linnan, who had come early in the morning. Lord Camille, with a pensive look on his face.

"Father, shall we watch a little girl sit on the count's seat and snatch the Cordillera collar?" Fernando, who has always been day and night. Bell hurried into the study, grumbling dissatisfied.

"Shut up!"

Solo. Bell glared at his son dissatisfied: "Aren't you messy enough?" Hathaway is the Countess of Cordillera who was personally canonized by Her Majesty, and this is also her domain! is such an adult, why is there no sense of proportion in his speech?! ”

"But father, for more than ten years, we have been recuperating on this land, we can't just leave it at that, why should she be the master of the Cordillera Collar?" Fernando. Bell had already claimed this land as his own, and of course he would not stop there.

"Do you think I'm willing?"

Solo. Bell glanced at this unlearned son helplessly: "The canonization of His Majesty the Emperor must not be openly violated, otherwise it will be treason." Besides, more than half of the Cordillera is not of the same mind as us, and Hathaway is also a member of our Bell family after all, at least when it comes to dealing with others, she is more convenient than us. ”

"I see, father, you're killing people under the pretext of fa." Fernando. Bell was not stupid and immediately understood Solo. Bell's intentions.

"Nonsense!"

Solo. Bell glared angrily at the unscrupulous son: "You spend half of your mental head on business, and you don't have to worry about everything!" ”

"Yes. Father. "Fernando, who was blamed. Bell bowed his head in disbelief.

Seeing his son like this, Zoro. Bell could only sigh heavily...... He knew very well in his heart that what he said just now, don't look at Fernando nodding his head now, sooner or later it will be in his ears again.

"It's not me talking about you, it's time to change your faults. Letting you go to the imperial capital to study, of course, I hope that you will be rich, but I also hope that you can make friends with those noble children, so that you can get in touch with their families and accumulate contacts for you in the future. But what have you done? The money you give is turned into clothes and jewelry. into the hands of those courtesans. Can you count on them to speak for you?

Now you're back and you're in command of the Guards, but you know all day long to tease around in front of those women, and you know what that will make people think of you? You are my heir. If they lose faith in you. How can they follow you? If the matter is passed back to the family. I'm afraid that the elders will directly make the decision to let you quit the heir candidate, and at that time, I will not be able to help you. ”

"What? Father. The Cordillera affair has always been taken care of by you, what right do the elders have to cancel my inheritance? "Fernando. Bell couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Shut up! Why do you think the Camilles family entered the Cordillera Plateau? Isn't it the result of those old guys' compromises? If we can't figure it out, the Camilles family will be happy to take over, and maybe Hathaway will be one of the candidates. ”

Solo. Bell took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then admonished: "You'd better be a little more restrained lately, don't go too far out of line, after all, Hathaway is also a member of the Bell family, and if the elders are interested in her, she has an advantage over anyone else." ”

"Yes, father." Fernando. Bell hurriedly agreed.

"Speaking of which, that girl doesn't seem to have any connections in Heidelberg, and it is said that she is addicted to magical experiments all day long, and she does not have many contacts, let alone the children of nobles with prominent families, which is very good for us."

Solo. A faint killing intent flashed in Bell's eyes: "The Cordillera Plateau is not a good place, if she really has some accident here, it is normal, it depends on her luck." ”

"Father, you're trying to ......" Fernando. Bell naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, but he was a little worried.

"I didn't think about anything, now is not the time to think about things, but to do things. By the time the Cordillera is less chaotic, it's about the same. "Solo. Bell said lightly.

The power of the Cordillera is too large, with historical legacies and the means of the family and the emperor, even if the Bell family has been operating here for nearly twenty years, they have not been able to fully control it. And Hathaway now has the status of a big friend, and he is a member of the Bell family, and it is natural that he, who is an uncle, helps his niece sort out the territory. As for other things, it is easy to do, as long as there is a family support, Solo. Bell wasn't afraid that Hathaway would turn against the sky.

"Now, you show me to be smart and don't do stupid things. The most important thing is military power, we need to win over those officers who can be used by us, you go and contact them, see if we can win them over. And those mercenaries, this time our losses are not small, and we must find a way to make up for them. ”

"Yes, father, I'll try." Fernando said that his vision for the future made him feel excited again.

A faint morning mist fills the countryside, and the grass and trees on both sides of the trail exude a fresh smell that smells very pleasant.

Hathaway breathed deeply into the fresh air from the north and listened to the chirping birds in the woods. Pang Sen followed her like a ghost, about five meters away, his right hand caressing the hilt of his sword.

There are not many people in the vicinity of the manor, but the nearby meadows, paths and woods are neatly maintained and very comfortable. The branches and leaves on his head shook suddenly, and a green warbler flew out of the forest and flew into the opposite woods, leaving one or two cheerful chirps above his head, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. From time to time, a hare with a slight golden hair flew in front of Hathaway, bringing a hint of wind shadow, and occasionally a rustling sound could be heard coming from the depths of the bush.

Although there is a little less prosperity, but at least the morning scene of the countryside is incomparable to the city, Hathaway silently walked in the countryside in the wilderness, thinking of Heidelberg's morning noise, she couldn't help but sigh.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the distance, and although there was no figure in sight, Hathaway could still tell that it was two people, one in front of one and one behind...... Since Yuanyang Qi Alchemy had cultivated to the ninth layer, she had found that her perception had improved significantly, and the voices that she couldn't hear before seemed to be able to be recognized one by one. In a few seconds, two figures circled out from behind a grove, led by an elderly nobleman in his sixties, followed by a young man who was clearly related to him, dressed in informal civilian clothes.

Seeing Hathaway strolling alone in the wilderness, a strange look passed over the face of the elderly nobleman in the lead, but his steps quickened. He didn't know why the lord had summoned him, and it was at this time...... This is Monica Manor, Solo. Bell's home, meeting here, is simply ...... It's a little too exciting.

"Good morning, Lord Count." Cordillera Treasurer Aaron. Baron Jeramie approached and bowed gracefully to Hathaway.

"Oh, hello, Your Excellency Baron Jeramy. I feel that a comfortable morning is the beginning of a good day, so I have made an appointment with you at this time to hope that the day will be in a good mood. Hathaway greeted with a smile.

Probably strange for the young lord, following Aaron. The young man behind Jerami glanced at Comer with some curiosity, but the look of vigilance in his eyes was not difficult to see.

"Your Excellency, is this your son?" Hathaway looked at the young man with interest, almost the same as Aaron. Jerami is cast in a mold, and the only difference is between the old and the new.

"Yes, this is my son Lear, come, come to see Lord Earl." Aaron. A look of love flashed across Jeramy's face.

After some pleasantries, Hathaway deliberately guided the two along the path, and the atmosphere seemed to sink down all of a sudden. Jerami seemed to sense that the young Earl needed to speak to him alone, and waved for his son to go first, but Hathaway interrupted him.

"No, Your Excellency, it's all right, I think your son probably came with you because he was worried about your safety, and we have no reason to make him upset. I invited you here today because I think we can have a good chat and get to know each other better. Hathaway looked up, calmly brushed aside the branches sticking out of the roadside, and stared deeply at the other party.

Although it was pointed out by Hathaway, the father and son were not too embarrassed, Lear was about twenty-five or six years old, a silver three-ring martial artist, and from his pace and eyes, it was obvious that he had a wealth of combat experience. After hearing Hathaway's words, he immediately stopped what he was already about to leave. Speaking of implementation, he also wanted to meet such a young countess. According to his father, this man was an official magician...... Lear. Jerami knows that other things can be faked, but the Wizards' Guild will never give favors with the title of official magician, and at Hathaway's age, being able to become an official magician shows that her talent is very good. However, having the talent of a magician does not necessarily mean that he has the talent of a political family, and not every magician can become a qualified lord. When he knew that his father was coming to meet with the lord this morning, he was worried that his father would be threatened, so he insisted on coming. Until now, he still couldn't see what this man wanted his father to do for him.

"Your Excellency, you've been here for many years, haven't you?" Hathaway chose such a topic to begin with Aaron. Jerami was a little surprised, a touch of surprise running across his cheeks, but it also brought back memories of his old days. (To be continued......)
