In the afternoon of the same day.

The sky is a blend of ice blue and pastel, rendering the sky like a glass screen with cracked ice, and the soft and slightly cold natural light is extremely blurred by the snow in this pure white world.

The three figures braved the wind and snow, and finally saw the outline of a city-state at the end of the snowfield.

"Char, you are worthy of being the inheritor of the assassin family, and you are also a professional scout, if it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to find Chingston City after dark."

Ranch grinned and complimented Char.

Char bowed her head in embarrassment.

He hadn't heard such a heartfelt compliment in a long time.

Normally, when others mention his family, they are laughing at him.

And this person is different.

"You didn't mention me at all, but you didn't seem to leave a word."

Sid muttered from the sidelines.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Lanch stroked his cheeks, which were slightly numb from the frost, and looked at Sid in confusion.

"It's nothing, sometimes the favorability is directly deducted, and there is no need for a reminder service."

In the wind and snow and the voices of men and women, they gradually came to the pass of the city-state.

The vast snow-covered land is surrounded by a biting cold wind that blows from time to time, rolling up the snowflakes like fine frosting in the air.

This is the southern boundary of the city of Czeston, and the walls are towering, made of metal and long-frozen earth, like a steel canyon in the snowfield, shielded from the cold wind and all the dangers of the outside world.

The gates of the city-state are made of heavy demonic steel and wood, and the edges are decorated with cold iron, which are carved with the totems and magic sigils of the city of Chiston, and on the inner side of the barrier, two rows of guards hold weapons and wear armor, and the orange-red feathers on their helmets flutter gently in the cold wind.

The guards' eyes were immediately attracted by the proximity of the three of them, and they turned to the distance of the snowfield.

The three of them slowed down, walked through the last stretch of endless snow, took out their identification in advance, walked to the city gate, and handed it to the captain of the knights who were the leader of the guards through the passage that the barrier had briefly opened.

After a careful examination, the knight captain looked straight at Char.

"Count Char Candace, welcome to our city of Chingston, and please wait with your friends in the city first, and I will contact the lord's palace for you."

The Knight Captain found out that the identities of Ranchi and Sid were students of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos from the imperial capital Herrom, and he didn't speculate much about their relationship with Char, so he regarded them as Char's accompanying friends.

The gates of the city slowly opened, and the chains and wooden beams made a dull sound, and the noise of the city instantly filled their ears, and the scene gradually unfolded before their eyes.

It's no longer an endless snowy field, but in the distance, the bluestone-paved streets are full of pedestrians, smoke wafting from the houses, the smell of dinner being prepared, and the children playing snowball fights.

Then there was a period of waiting.

They didn't have to wait long at the entrance of the city-state when a carriage to greet them came to a halt in the open field not far from them.

A middle-aged man in a classical black dress, embroidered with gold patterns on the cuffs and neckline, and holding a wax-sealed letter in his hand, walked calmly but quickly in front of the three of them.

"Prince Char, there are two other distinguished guests, I am the butler of the Lord's Mansion."

He bowed slightly, his voice respectful,

"Lord Viscount Levine Chingston has learned of your arrival and sent me to receive them."

He stretched out his hand and instructed the three men to follow him, and in the distance the fine carriage with the coat of arms of the Chiston family, covered in crimson satin, the windows barred by thin embroidered curtains, and the butler opened the door of the carriage, which contained animal skin cushions and delicately carved wooden handrails.

"Please get in the car."

The housekeeper smiled slightly, it was a kind of moderation and steadiness that served the big guys.

The three of them looked at each other and boarded the carriage with the butler.

Before the carriage departs.

"May I ask Viscount Levine Chingston is busy with something important?"

Sid asked the butler.

"Yes, it was supposed to be Lord Viscount and Miss Char to greet Prince Char, but now that there are distinguished guests in the Lord's Mansion, they can't leave for the time being, so they can only send me to receive you back first, I'm very sorry."

The butler apologized.

Sid nodded.

It seems that the Viscount did not mean to treat Char lightly.

According to the aristocratic etiquette of the Protos Empire, even if Char, the Earl of Marriage, arrived at an unscheduled time due to transportation problems, he should be personally received by Viscount Levine Chingston or Miss.

A rumble streaked through.

The wheels of the carriage left deep ruts in the thick snow, and the cold wind blew, but the interior of the carriage was very warm.

The three of them leaned back on the cushions, Char looked a little reserved, but Ranchi and Sid were at ease.

For a while, I couldn't tell who the young master was.

Looking at the young man with flax hair who was nervous and gentle with a hint of weakness, Ranchi patted Char's shoulder as he sat opposite.

"Keep your chest up, Miss Lilith Chesston should prefer a stronger boy."

"But...... I'm here to join the Kinston family, and they probably want their son-in-law to be a little more peaceful. ”

"Lilith Chesston's own combat profession is an assassin, and it is recorded in the admission report that she performed quite fiercely in the exams, and as a descendant of a famous family of assassins in the Empire, you will definitely be able to get along with her."

Ranch had already begun to mentor Char.

Char looked at Lanki, confusion written between his brows.

How do you know everything?

"But I'm probably more of a clerical job now...... If I work for their family's chamber of commerce, I may be of some use, although I have learned all the skills of the family, I have not used them much in actual combat......"

Char said unconfidently.

"That's right."

Ranchimo rubbed his chin and thought about it.

"Meow meow! Don't listen to him! ”

An angry voice came from the ground, accompanied by a black shadow, and the little black cat jumped on the seat and climbed onto Lanki's shoulder, and said to Char on the side,

"The love between teenagers and girls pays attention to a delicate and natural, as long as this guy intervenes, the warm story will all become the same as the weird shadow world he plays! Love doesn't need violent overtaking and strong welding! ”

It accused Lanchi with righteous indignation, and screamed in anger, and did not breathe for a long time.

"Oh, little black cat, you're finally out."

Sid looked over Lanch's shoulder with some interest.

The next second, the cat boss seemed to wince, and snapped around Lanchi's shoulder on the other side, a little farther away from West Germany, shivering.

Char looked at the elven cat in surprise.

Even this cat is stronger than him.

It is even close to the level of the fourth order!

“…… Do you think I only have a third-order meow? ”

Boss Cat seemed to see Char's thoughts, and stared at him sternly and asked.

They both have elven telekinetic magic, and there is a bit of intimacy between them.

"Could it be...... Are you actually a fourth-order? ”

Char asked incredulously.

“……”

The cat boss was silent for a while, and chose to bypass this topic, or not to humiliate himself,

"Young man, you will naturally come into contact with Miss Lilith, and if you are destined to be fated people, you will eventually be happy with each other. Don't listen to his love guidance, this guy doesn't know what love is, and his love is even more problematic! ”

It tried hard to persuade Char Dao.

"Uh......"

Char looked at the little black cat, then at Ranchi.

I didn't know who to trust for a while.

They are very sincere, and they want to be good for themselves, which is absolutely true, even from the look of the eyes.

As a result, Char fell into an incomparably tangled and couldn't make a judgment.

In this way, the three of them and one cat were quiet for a while.

"But I think McCarthy has a point, for example, I would favor boys who are stronger than me."

Sid thought for a moment and made her assessment of being a woman.

She didn't know why the little black cat would belittle Lanchi's love guide like that, there was no problem.

“……”

Ranch glanced at Sid with pity.

Another one who can't get married.

"What did you mean by looking at me just now?"

Sid asked.

She had now discovered that her Son would not normally say anything rude.

But he often writes everything in a subtle expression, which is a superlative contempt.

"Buckle the favor, if you want to add sin, why bother?"

On Lanch's face was a helpless smile that looked down on everything.

“……”

Sid smiled and shook his head, not telling Ranch how much opinion would be deducted.

Side.

"Meow, so Char, do you really want to listen to this green tea teach you about love?"

Boss Cat looked at Char and asked.

"Isn't Mr. Lodge getting along well with Miss Sid?"

Char asked the cat boss in confusion.

He felt that Senior Rocky didn't have tea at all, and he was obviously a gentle and good young man.

"Meow?"

Cat boss tilted his head, Ranch and Ba Catholic? Do they get along well?

It has always felt that these two people are very incompatible in terms of identity, strength, age and personality.

But Char said so......

It also found that the two of them got along with each other, and there was an unexpected sense of reasonableness.

Wait a minute.

If you change the gender of Ranchi and Sigrid.

What a green tea girl and a domineering president!

There is still a chapter that is not finished, and it is estimated that it will be completed at about eleven o'clock
