At the end of October 327 in the continental calendar, the ancient city of Okugu ushered in the first snow, which was earlier than in previous years.

The snowflakes look like they are sprinkled, but the snow is not thick, less than five inches, and it has not yet reached the point of closing the mountain. After the heavy snowfall, the temperature plummeted by a few degrees, and the number of people outdoors immediately decreased considerably. In particular, some elderly people would rather sit around the stove to warm up or go to the bar to drink a glass of spirits to soak up some warm atmosphere, and only young people like to go outdoors and enjoy a different northern style in the snow.

In a separate courtyard in the Ogu Manor, there is a pair of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls, playing in the snow. With the help of a few servants, they soon built two snowmen, one fat and one thin, both of whom looked simple.

"The eyes should be blue and not big enough and the nose not straight enough. ”

When the snowman was finished, the girl carefully observed for a while, feeling not quite satisfied, and stepped forward to adjust the slender snowman, and finally took off her red cloak and put it on the snowman.

"Miss, be careful of catching a cold!"

The maid next to her immediately stepped forward and put on a new robe for the girl.

"It's fine!"

The girl wiped the fine sweat from the tip of her nose, admiring her masterpiece so much that she didn't feel any chill.

"Selena, I remember the first time I saw you, you were wearing a red cloak like this, beautiful like Caixia floating in the sky. ”

The young man on the side recalled the past, and the Selena he said was of course the only daughter of Holancest, the lord of the ancient city of Ocheng, and he was naturally Steven Levins. Recently, his relationship with Selena has warmed up sharply, and Selena's frequency of coming over has gradually increased, and she almost lives here for a long time.

"That's right, not only did you snatch my prey, but you were also domineering, and I really wanted to whip you at that time. ”

Selena deliberately pursed her small mouth to express her dissatisfaction, but her eyes were full of smiles, and it was of course a happy thing for her sweetheart to remember what she was wearing when they first met.

"You have already whipped with a whip, fortunately your brother-in-law was next to you at the time, so you didn't succeed, otherwise my handsome face would have been miserable!"

Steven replied with a smile.

"You're so shameless, how can anyone boast of being handsome?"

As soon as Selena reached out, two fingers deftly clamped Steven's cheeks and twisted them vigorously.

"Oops!"

Steven bared his teeth and screamed in amusement, looking at his skillful acting skills, it seemed that he was usually bullied by Selena.

"Remember, if you dare to treat me badly, you will be given a taste of whips again, and then you will not have a brother-in-law to help you. ”

Selena made a fierce expression.

"That's not necessarily, my brother-in-law will help me for the rest of my life. ”

Steven finally broke free from Selena's clutches, rubbing his cheeks and saying:

"It would be nice if my brother-in-law was here today, let him witness our happiness. By the way, Selena, did you ask your father about my brother-in-law's whereabouts for me? It's been more than four months, and it's time for him to come back. ”

Steven pretended to know nothing about Allen's whereabouts.

didn't expect Steven to shift the topic to Allen, and Selena didn't know how to answer for a while,

"This..."

didn't expect Steven to shift the topic to Alan, and Selena didn't know how to answer for a while. Regarding Allen's mission to assassinate the Pope, Hollanster had always concealed it from Selena before, and later the news that Allen might be executed by the Holy See was even more secretive, because he was worried that she would leak it to Steven. Steven had asked her to help ask her father, but her father prevaricated on the grounds that he didn't know.

"I'm sorry, Steven. I asked my father, and I asked many merchants who traveled to and from the South, including Gerald, who worked for the Hepburns and had the face of a profiteer, and they didn't know. ”

Seeing that Steven's expression was a little melancholy, Selena could only take his arm and comfort him softly:

"But I believe that with Master Kanter's abilities, nothing can stump him, no one can stop him, and he will definitely return to you. ”

"I also believe that my brother-in-law will definitely come back here, and no one will be able to stop him!"

Steven's eyes sparkled with a strange light.

"Meet Miss! Meet Mr. Levins!"

At some point, a butler appeared behind the two men and saluted them respectfully.

"Tell my father that I don't want to go back yet. ”

Selena thought that the housekeeper had been ordered by her father to call her back, so she said coldly.

"Miss, the old slave has been ordered by the master of the house to invite Mr. Levins to the castle for discussion. ”

The butler said respectfully.

"To the castle?"

Selena was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic in her heart. Steven was imprisoned here for four months, the first time her father had summoned her.

"Go and change your clothes, and I'll take you to your father." ”

Selena pushed Steven back to his room to change into a formal robe, and the two of them set off in a carriage together.

The snow on the mountain road has been cleared, and the carriage is moving smoothly on it. Ignoring the bitter cold wind, Steven lifted the heavy curtains, and what greeted him was the castle of Ogu at the top of the hill.

From its pointed towers to its protruding arches, the castle is covered in snow and covered in snow, making it look like a fairy-tale princess wearing a white wedding dress from a distance.

"Selena, have you heard the story of Beauty and the Beast?"

Steven asked suddenly.

"Of course!"

Selena replied very simply, what girl hasn't heard that kind of story about the supremacy of true love?

"If I were the beast, would you like to live with me in the castle?"

"Yes, but I'm sure the beast will eventually become my king. ”

The girl blinked and looked at Steven, her eyes full of longing for a beautiful love.

"Miss, it's here!"

Outside the castle, the butler asked the two men to get out of the car and took them to the council chamber to meet Hollander, and as they passed through the hall on the first floor, they happened to meet a group of people walking out.

At the head is Walker, the leader of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, followed by his partner Cecil, and at the end is an old acquaintance of Steven, Roy Quake, who is now Walker's personal captain and follows Walker wherever he goes.

"I've seen Miss Ogu. ”

The two leaders took the initiative to say hello to Selena, and Selena politely returned the salute, and then the two sides passed by, and Steven seemed to be a transparent person during the whole process, although his eyes became sharp the moment he saw Quake, but Quake didn't look at him at all.
