"Ronan, I still want to drink fish soup, it's milky and delicious."

Alice lay on Ronan's lap and poked his face with her fingers.

"I'll be home in half a day, and I'll make you other delicious food when I get there."

Saying that, Ronan pinched her white and tender cheeks with color, and was pushed away by Alice in disgust.

After bidding farewell to the blue collar workers, and after more than ten days of expedited travel, they have now penetrated into the northern provinces and are about to arrive at the Cold Wind Collar.

Of course, this also made the two girls sitting in the carriage bumpy and listless, from the excitement and anticipation at the beginning.

Ronan looked at Isa, who was carefully pinching Alice's thigh, and then flicked Alice's forehead angrily.

"It's been all the way, why are you embarrassed to let Isha take care of you all the time?"

Alice, who was enjoying herself, was suddenly condemned, puffed out her mouth aggrievedly, and said unhappily: "No, I've been pinching Isa well, wronging people!" ”

"Huh? How come I never saw it? Ronan looked at her strangely.

"Because it's when you leave, the girl's legs can't be shown to outsiders casually." Alice was right.

It's okay with me, but Isha and Ronan aren't that familiar, so how can they be casual.

Ronan looked in the direction of Isa, who was wearing a long sky-blue dress, wrapping her body tightly.

Met his gaze, Isha smiled in response, and did not speak.

"Don't look around, don't think around!" Alice snapped Ronan's head back with her hand, leaving him to look at herself.

"Yes, yes."

Ronan gave her a roll of the eyes, thinking that he hadn't seen it before, and that he had slept with them every night.

At this time, the speed of the carriage began to slow down.

Ronan knew that they had arrived at their destination, outside the town of Coldwind.

He lifted Alice up from her thighs and got up and walked out of the carriage.

Accompanied by the howling cold wind, you will be greeted by a tall stone wall that stands above the snow and ice, separating the front and back.

At this moment, the door of the center was open, and rows of soldiers in a neat queue were standing outside the door, waiting quietly.

At the forefront, Old Mo Tou and White, who was temporarily in charge of the command of the army, saw Ronan's figure, so they relaxed and hurried to greet him.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back." White stepped forward excitedly, and was about to report to him about the situation in the town.

At this moment, a small head emerged from the carriage behind Ronan, looked around curiously, and then shrank back.

White was startled, and the words he prepared got stuck in his mouth, and then quickly pretended not to see it.

He was very panicked now, he didn't expect to be reckless to see the woman hidden in the carriage by his own adult.

Ronan glanced at him and didn't explain anything.

Just called him, Lao Motou and the other knights and others, and then let Alice and Isha show their faces, so that these high-ranking leaders of the Cold Wind Leader understood their importance.

White's expression was genuinely frightened, and he only hoped that Miss Kasanna from the adult's house would not fight with them.

However, Lao Motou noticed the eyes of the two girls, realized in his heart, and bowed respectfully to them.

After stepping through the gate and entering the town, Alice hurriedly took Isha back to the carriage.

At this time, her little face was flushed, her body was shivering from the cold, and she clung to Isha to try to keep warm.

"It's cold, whew, it's so cold!" After wrapping herself and Isha in a blanket, Alice, who only showed her head, complained to Ronan.

"Didn't I prepare thick clothes for you? Whoever tells you not to wear it, go out in a skirt, and it won't freeze you to death. ”

Ronan looked at her angrily.

Winter is coming to an end in the central provinces, and the climate has warmed, but the cold winds are different.

As the northernmost border of the kingdom, the tundra near the Arctic Sea is covered in snow and ice all year round.

Winter is only halfway through here.

Even though the town is located in the southernmost part of the country, it does not penetrate deep into the frozen ground, and the climate is not too harsh.

But the temperature outside is still maintained at minus ten degrees, and this is still in the presence of the sun.

A skirt and a thin jacket don't make people stupid.

"But those clothes are so ugly, and they're so thick, and Isha and I have become so fat when we wear them."

Alice retorted with a snort, "Isha and I are dressed beautifully, and we didn't show you yet?" If you don't cherish it, forget it, huh. ”

Ronan thought about it, too, "My fault, I'll figure out a way when I go back, okay?" ”

He put his warm coat over them, "Let's go to the castle first, I've built heating pipes there, and it should be warm inside." ”

According to Lao Motou's report, after nearly five months of construction, the new castle was finally completed.

The castle has a total of five floors, the first floor contains the wine cellar, barn, storage room, etc., the second floor is the residence of maids and butlers, etc., as well as the bakery and equipped pastry chef, large kitchen and cooks, etc.

On the third floor and above is the owner's residence.

At present, the equipment arrangement of each workshop such as the bakery is poor, and the living area with three floors and above can be occupied.

In the original blueprints, Ronan also asked the craftsman leader Leo to add water pipes and hot gas pipes to ensure a comfortable temperature in the castle's living quarters.

"Ronan, is this your territory, it's different from what I thought."

Alice stole a glance at the town outside the carriage through the curtains of the windows.

According to the description of the family, the cold wind collar is an extremely remote and backward village.

Alice thought that Ronan lived in one of those small villages, with a fairly large wooden house.

That's why Alice, who was worried about him, kept trying to save up gold coins and wanted to send them to him, hoping that Ronan's life wouldn't be so sad.

Unexpectedly, the situation here was much better than she imagined, with no end in sight to the prosperous town, and the pedestrians were bustling with each other.

The number of soldiers gathered outside the city gate surprised her even more.

Isha nodded as well, looking at Ronan curiously, life here was much better than she expected.

"I'm here because of your brother." Ronan said with a smile, and Alice rolled his eyes back.

This was just the beginning, he thought to himself, with a large amount of magic crystals in his account, his real development was ready to start.

Now that the strife among the nobles of the empire is about to be staged, Ronan doesn't mind using the power at hand to get involved if the need arises.

After all, there is no need for him to go all the way to the battle in person.

Thinking about the future, he came to the location of the new castle and entered it with two girls wrapped in blankets.

"Ronan, you're finally back!"

Kasanna, who had resisted not to get in the way at the gate, had waited in the castle honestly, and finally saw the person she was missing, and ran over excitedly and threw herself into his arms.

It's been less than a month, but she really thinks about Ronan and always feels like they've been separated for several years.

It was only soon that she realized that something was wrong.

Kasanna lifted her head from Ronan's arms and met Alice's gaze.
