"Finished the meeting?" Still in that corner, Ellie greeted Marlena as she came in from the side porch.

"Ah...... Yes. Marlena seemed a little absent-minded, stunned for a moment, before she reacted and replied to Ellie.

"Is it going well?" Su Wen also asked.

“...... Isn't this going well?" Marina sighed and sat down in the empty seat next to her, leaning back in her chair, sliding down to find the most comfortable position.

After taking a few breaths, he told the two of them the details of the matter.

After Warrent took Rosen and Marlena to the small room, he spoke openly about the heir to the title. The title of Duke of Snow Castle was hereditary, and in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, a merit-based succession rule was adopted.

In other words, primogeniture does not exist in this family, and there are six brothers and sisters, and each of them can become the heir to the title.

Warrent probably also wanted to bridge the gap between the two siblings, and introduced each other to the situation of the two during the conversation, and confessed to the two that whoever has the highest quality will be the next Duke of Snow Castle, and he will not favor anyone.

On the other hand, he also has a trust in the character of both parties.

Rosen is indeed a little different from Marina's imagination, completely different from the aristocratic gentleman in her subconscious brain, Rosen is more like a big boy, who has no city, but is a very sincere person.

And Marlena is not the rough village girl or the arrogant maniac who relies on her identity as a teacher to know the height of the sky, and the fear of her because of Su Wen has also decreased a lot. Overall, the impression left by both sides is not bad.

Finally, for all reasons, Warrent will send Marlena to study at Arena Imperial College in a month, in addition to improving her basic qualities, she also has the intention of letting Marlena plug the conservatives' mouths with a diploma.

In other words, Marlena will become Balot's classmate...... It's still a grade lower......

"That's good. Su Wen seemed to be very satisfied with this result.

"But ......" Marina's expression suddenly darkened, looking at the window opposite, and her heart became heavy: "It's hard for me to imagine that just now I could still calmly sit in a room with the murderer who forced my mother to die, and do nothing...... Moreover, there is also the mastermind behind the Black Rope Society......"

"On the surface, don't those people look like each other?"

Ma Lina thought about it carefully, and really nodded again and again as Su Wen said, and then denied it as if convincing herself: "But it is true that those people forced my mother to death...... I ......"

"When they do things, they care about nothing more than reputation, rules, and profits. Su Wen said lightly: "Although it is ruthless to say, your mother's death is just a choice made by the rules for them, and it doesn't matter to them what the consequences are." Can you adapt to such an environment?"

Marlena was silent.

"Wouldn't it be nice to kill the enemy?" Ellie interjected.

This direct suggestion made Marlena shake her head and smile bitterly, and Su Wen also reached out and pinched Ellie's face, with a helpless expression that you still have to learn one.

"What's wrong!" Ellie asked unconvinced, breaking free of Su Wen's hand.

"Those people can be said to be half the sky of the snow castle, and if you kill those people in one go, the snow castle system will collapse. After attending the regular meeting of the Snow Castle family, Marlena saw it clearly and explained to Ellie, "Even my mother doesn't want to see such an outcome." ”

"If the plot is that Warrent abandons his wife and abuses Marina, that's fine. Su Wen interjected, in exchange for a powder punch from Marina.

"What then?"

"By the time they surrender their authority, they will probably be dead by then. Su Wen said: "Marlena is now like getting on a thief ship, although many of the people on board are enemies, but in order to avoid the shipwreck, they still have to make peace with those people." ”

"But my father was the captain of the ship, and my mother used to be a crew member. ”

"Temporary workers were also fired. ”

Ellie didn't seem to understand.

"But. Ma Lina didn't plan to dwell on this issue with Su Wen again: "Please move the person from the Black Rope Society, I must find out." ”

Su Wen and Ellie both nodded in agreement.

"Then again, why are those people so afraid of you? Are you really powerful?"

When in the inner hall, Su Wen's coercion avoided Marlena, and what Marlena saw was just the cool light and shadow effects made by Su Wen.

"You ask them. Su Wen smiled.

Barlot, who was about to go back to his room to bathe and change his clothes, passed by the side porch, and happened to see three people, so he took the maid and came up. Since it was the first time Barot had met Marina, she was both happy and a little shy.

"Mr. Su Wen, Miss Ellie, hello. Ballot smiled and greeted a few people: "Sister Marlena, you are okay." ”

The eyebrows and eyes of the woman in front of her are somewhat similar to herself, but from the physiognomy, she is more like Lawson, and combined with the woman's age, Marlena vaguely guessed the identity of the woman in front of her.

“...... Barot?"

"Yes. Recognized by Marlena, Barot nodded happily: "It's great to be recognized by my sister!"

After meeting Marina, Balotte is like a quiet and tranquil person from the previous years. It can be seen that she has a lot of curiosity about this sister she has never met.

After a few words, Barot said goodbye to the three and returned to his room.

In addition to the indoors, in the garden outside, there are also banquets for lucky guests above the commoners and below the white medal, and the commoners gather in the square to watch the grand performance hosted by the Snow Castle family.

This has almost become the norm in snow castles, and it is also a rare soft side of the slightly fierce folk customs of the northern border of Maleno.

"Brother!" Barrot met Rosen, who had also returned, at the door, and couldn't wait to share his experience of meeting Marlena: "I met Sister Marlena!"

"I saw ...... too" Rosen sighed, "She was there during the meeting, and ...... Well, forget it, anyway......"

Rosen's emotions towards Marlena are still very mixed.

"When school starts, she'll be your classmate......"

"Really!!"

Barrot grabbed Rosen's shoulders and shook them vigorously, and when he got the answer, he jumped back to his room in excitement. Leaving the physically and mentally exhausted Lawson in the hallway, baptized by the gaze of the two maids.
