Despite Solo. Bell's years of operation in the Cordillera Heights are not small, but the results are not great, but his control over this place is far less than that of the previous real lords, and the real effect is only in recent years, otherwise Conan. It is impossible for Camille to intervene sideways and divide some power. But some of the nobles who were deeply entrenched in the Cordillera were still vain and unruly to them, and did not really submit to them. With Hathaway's return, it's hard to say that it won't bring hope to those people?

Thinking of this, Solo. Bell didn't feel good in his heart. But then I thought about it, the opportunity is not impossible, compared to a hairy child who has no roots in the Cordillera, he still has a lot of chances. The most important thing is that he is Hathaway's elder, and the other party is just a girl after all. Thinking of this, Solo. Bell had some regrets that his sister Demia. Baroness Pierron's local prestige was even higher than her own, but since her husband's death, she has been raising her son in seclusion on the estate, occasionally holding charity events and rarely attending parties.

It's in Solo. When Bell came to his senses, Bruno. Will asked, "Baron, can we go?" ”

Walk through the gates of the manor and get the news of Demia. Mother and son were already waiting there, and some of the noblewomen standing behind them didn't know Hathaway...... In fact, Hathaway didn't know anyone, still in Bruno. Under Will's guidance, she realized that the woman with a somewhat haggard face was her aunt.

When Hathaway came to Demia. In front of Pieron, he didn't know what to say for a while. And Demia. Pierren was also very excited.

Seeing Hathaway, I can't help but let Demia. Piern remembered his dead sister-in-law and best friend, Hathaway's appearance was exactly the same as that of her mother.

Hathaway's hair, however, was inherited from her father's flaxen hair, and her mother's hair was dazzlingly blonde, and flaxen was rare even in the Bell family.

The death of her husband and best friend made Demia . Pieron was devastated, and although she guessed that there was an unknown reason for this, she did not dare to think deeply because of her good nature. It can only be hidden like an ostrich. Silently raising his son Connor. Pierren. At this time, when I saw the slim Hathaway, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself, and tears welled up in my eyes.

"Hathaway, it's been a long time since you've seen your aunt. Isn't it a little exciting. "Solo. Baron Bell in order to break this somewhat awkward page. hinted to Hathaway.

"I was really excited. Aunt. We haven't seen each other in eleven years. Hathaway stepped forward and saluted.

"Yes, yes, we've been seeing you for eleven years. The last time I saw you, I was still a little girl, not as high as your father's knees, and now I'm a big girl. This is Connor, I'm afraid you don't remember, do you? "Demia. Pierren laughed with tears in her eyes.

"Hello, Connor, I've always missed you." Hathaway to stand in Demia. Said the boy beside Pierron.

Connor. Pierren apparently didn't have enough enthusiasm for his cousin. It's not that he hates Hathaway, it's just that it's been too long, and although he admires Hathaway's beauty, he doesn't know much about this cousin he hasn't seen since he was seven years old. When Hathaway was young, she was often bullied by some of the Camille family, and many times it was Connor. Pierren helped her out.

At the time, he was curious about this cousin, who had always seemed a little silent, and it was not until he grew up that he understood what was going on, but by then, Hathaway had already been sent to the Gaye School of Magic.

Now that Hathaway can come back, it will bring him some surprises, but he knows much more about the current situation of the Cordillera than his mother, so he can't help but be a little worried.

"Okay, let's go in, the banquet will start soon, let's go in and talk again."

Solo. Baron Bell suddenly saw a young man not far away, and hurriedly shouted, "Fernando, where are you going?" Come and meet your cousin! ”

Fernando. Bell, Hathaway's cousin, is a typical playboy who once attended Imperial College. After graduating, Solo. Baron Bell originally wanted him to join the military department and accumulate some contacts, but he decided that military life was not suitable for him, so he ran back to the Cordillera without informing his father...... This has come to this, Solo. Bell was helpless.

The atmosphere of the dinner was harmonious, and in order to show the intimacy, Uncle Solo. Bell and his niece danced their first dance, and on the surface, the uncle and nephew were kind and well-behaved, and it seemed that they were very different from the rumors. A reassuring smile appeared on Pierren's face...... She had also heard the rumors to some extent, and was worried that her brother and niece would fight each other, and now it seemed that the rumors were not credible.

For those who attend the banquet, it doesn't matter whether the qiē in front of them is the appearance or the storm inside. In just two months after entering the Cordillera, Hathaway stepped up her crackdown on thieves and lowered taxes for farmers...... The effect of the former is obvious, those thieves operating in the Cordillera territory have converged a lot, and there have been a large number of mercenaries echoing the tasks issued by the Hathawaytong Guò Mercenary Guild, and began to enter the Cordillera Plateau to kill those bands of thieves, so that those thieves are now in danger of themselves, and they really can't even spare time for robbery, and the direct beneficiaries are the merchant groups, so there are signs of an increase in commercial taxes. As a result, some of the people who were originally going to throw themselves into Milo. Bell's family watched again, and Hathaway's family, which was originally in currency, was even more relieved and boldly extended an olive branch...... At least Hathaway has now shown that she has some ability, and someone needs to support her next.

The dinner was over, except for some of the nobles who lived nearby, and the other nobles who needed to stay overnight were led by their attendants to a room that matched their status. Hathaway followed Demia. Mother and son of Piellen and Solo. Baron Bell and his son went to another room.

"Demia, Fernando and I will take our leave." Solo. Baron Bell looked at the time and was about to take his leave. Before leaving, he only said hello to his sister, because there were no other nobles present, he didn't pay attention to Hathaway who was standing on the side, and turned to leave after snorting coldly.

Fernando. When Bell left, his eyes quickly swept over Hathaway's body, although the time was short, Hathaway caught the greed in it, and her face immediately sank slightly, it seems that this guy was in school, and the etiquette class was not practiced.

Seeing the father and son leave, Hathaway's face leaked a faint disgust, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but her expression quickly recovered a piece of warmth, as if she didn't pay attention to what the house was...... However, the change in her expression was hidden from Demia, who was immersed in excitement. Pieron, however, was taken by Connor. Pierren noticed.

"I'll ask Connor to take you to the room you've prepared first, and tell him what you need. Tomorrow, there's a big dance party for you. When the time comes, the Cordillera celebrities will be there, and you should get to know them too, so rest early tonight. "Demia. Pierren said with a smile.

"Yes, Auntie." Hathaway said respectfully.

Hathaway didn't have any dislike for this aunt. In her memory, Demia. Pierren was one of the few people in the Bell family to show her kindness, and was a close friend of her mother. But after all these years, and with the interests of the Bell family at stake, Hathaway was not sure whose position she would be on, and she was not sure if the Baroness knew how her husband had died, and what her attitude was. So she didn't deliberately get close.

Led by Connor, Hathaway arrives in the room prepared for her.

"Hathaway, this is your room, do you want someone to have a little heart for you?" Connor asked very politely.

"You don't have to be so polite. I also want to rest a little earlier. Hathaway said lightly.

"Well, there are servants outside, and you can ask your maid to find them if there is anything." With that, Connor took his leave.

Got rid of a few of the Solos. After the maid sent by Bell to wait, only Hathaway and Irona were left in the room. Ilona asked softly, "My lord, is it too dangerous to live here?" ”

"It doesn't matter, at best, they send a few surveillance, and if I don't want them to be surveillance, there is a way. If they dare to attack me here, they will underestimate us. Hathaway said lightly.

"Those people I saw today are like grass on the wall, you have come here in person, those people are still hesitant, I really don't know what else they have to worry about?" Iona's questions had always been jumpy, and after a while the work turned to the nobles.

"It's normal. The wrong decision may ruin their entire family, and of course it will be well considered. With our current strength, at best, we will attract their attention, but if they are to be convinced, we will need to continue to work hard. Hathaway whispered.

Ilona pouted and said, "What a hassle." My lord, is the young man standing behind the Baron really your cousin? He's staring at you with lustful eyes all the time, it's disgusting. ”

"You mean Fernando? Don't care about him, this guy can't do anything but chase women, if it weren't for his father's status, what girl would care about him like a waste. Hathaway said dismissively. (To be continued......)
