"The Countess is like a spoiled girl."

Wincht family estate.

Lady Wine, Dela, and Michael sat around, listening to Annan's narration.

Annan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at this time, but she continued: "She is a little naïve, a little ignorant, and a little clumsy......"

The three looked at each other.

"Are you talking about the Countess?"

"There's no one else in the Earl's Manor but Maria, right?"

The eyes of the Wine Lady and Michael grew stranger.

"Maria?"

"Uh...... It's the Countess. Before they had a deeper misunderstanding, Annan explained: "She naturally has a lot of people in the Earl's Manor. There is no defense against the outside world, and it behaves purely...... For example, yearning for love and liking to stand barefoot in the sea of flowers. Clumsy and reckless, rummaging through the wardrobe will get stuck asking for help. Want to stand on a chair and reach for a book...... But maybe this is the aristocracy? ”

The countess of the estate made Annan more relaxed than at the banquet.

"Living in a cocoon made of honey, I have not experienced sinister and pain, so that I still remain innocent."

Michael looked at the more experienced Lady Margaery.

"Lady of Wine?"

He couldn't tell whether Annan was immersed in the tenderness of the countess or whether he was just sympathetic to the young girl who was forced to marry a countess who could be her grandfather.

"Annan, you will face many temptations here."

The Wine Lady also did not know, so she could only warn Annan with her own experience: "A young, loveless, and warlock king of the North, your attraction to the women of Breeze City is like a gold coin at the feet of a homeless man." ”

"The Countess is no exception?"

"My sweetheart, the king of the North, will be the youngest lord of the castle ever......" Lady Wine sighed, "Why do you think we are gathered around you?" ”

It's a good question, and Annan never thought about it. Or rather, he never thought about his friends from the perspective of profit—that would make emotions like rotten apples, hard to swallow.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't know.

"Benefits?"

The black pupils gradually became quiet.

"Ahem...... I just want to watch Annan grow into the true king of the North. Michael felt like he didn't have anything else to think about.

The Wine Lady looked at Michael and said nothing.

"What? Did I say the wrong thing? ”

The Wine Lady remained silent.

"Uh...... Do you want me to recuse myself? ”

The Wine Lady nodded, and Michael picked up the Horn Scepter as a cane, "Alright, I'll go outside and blow the cool breeze of a summer night." ”

Michael walked out of the living room, and the head maid standing on the stairs also avoided privacy, leaving only Lady Wine and Deella in front of the sofa.

"Annan, I'm in the same situation as the countess."

The wine lady told the Annan Winchet family about the crisis:

Thanks to the winemaking industry and the wine lady's husband, Torre Wincht, the Wynchette family's reputation rose to prominence, and in just a dozen years about a fifth of the wine in the county of Plannchet was produced in Wincht. But five days earlier, one of the Winchert family's most important wineries had been sacked by bandits and burned to the ground.

Nearly half of the Wincht family's red wine is stored there.

And that's not all the loss – the wines had already been sold, only to be transported, and the looting cost not only to the Wine Lady, but also to pay three times the compensation for the contract's failure to deliver the goods on time – a price that the Wine Lady could not afford.

The Wincht family is calm on the surface, but in fact there is a dark tide.

"So we gathered around you to help you, and hopefully you will help us."

"Is Lady Maria too?"

"I don't know. But if she's really as innocent as you say, she can't keep the legacy left by Earl Morgan......"

Torre Winchert...... Could the dead husband of the wine lady be the one who made a pact with the devil?

At this time, the two doors of the living room were pushed open.

The Wine Lady stopped talking.

"I don't want to disturb you either, but......" Michael pointed helplessly to the outside of the manor, "the usurper is here." ”

Annan and Michael leave the living room to pick up Olmedo.

"Annan can't tell the difference between candy and sugar-coated poison."

In the quiet living room, the wine lady watched Dela.

"Keep an eye on him and protect him until ......"

……

The cries of nightingales and insects came from the meadows.

"I heard that you came back from the Earl's Court, and found anything?"

"Nope."

However, Annan told Olmedo about the difference in temperament between the countess at the manor and the countess at the banquet, and his thoughts diverged: "Could it be that the real countess will be replaced by the rat people?" ”

"Don't say this to anyone else...... However, rat people do cause chaos by pretending to be us. ”

"If I had known she was a rat man, I would have been a guest at the manor for a while......" Annan said lamentingly.

Olmedo thought he wanted to investigate the Countess in depth: "There will be a chance. ”

The busy Olmedo soon left, and it wasn't long before Michael and the wine lady said goodbye to Annan.

When Ms. Sajiu left, she did not ask Annan for help.

Annan returned to the bedroom and removed the spider bottle that the fire crow was staring at.

"You can't eat this."

Then he turned out the letter brought by the fire crow on the day of the feast.

[To my brother:

Don't believe any faith!

There is only the letter that asks you to ask for help from the Lawrence family, and we have not sent you any other letter, and we are not gullible about what it asks you to do.

This fire raven will help us. If you want to say anything, give the letter to the fire raven and it will bring it back.

Here are the words of your second sister:

Levi, I miss you so much...... You don't know how happy we are when we know you're okay. Come back if you're bullied over there, this is your home. Don't worry I'm going to laugh at you, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied you all the time...... I realized that nothing is more important than my family......

By the way, your words are really ugly now. I'll just say that the eldest sister's method is useless at all. But you are not allowed to write back to us.

- Your family]

Annan did not want to have any contact with Levi's family, even if it was an exchange of letters.

He didn't want to take advantage of the emotions between the Reeves family. The more they pretend to be Levi and reply, the more hope they rekind, until they learn the truth, the edifice collapses, and everything is gone as the bubble explodes.

But doing nothing will only make them more worried and even run away. Annan had no choice but to pick up the pen and keep going:

[My sisters,

Rest assured, I ignored the fake letter. I...... I lost some of my memory and even forgot the lingua franca, which is why the characters are so ugly. You don't have to worry about me, I'm all right here......]
