The carriages of the lord's palace traveled along the roads of the city-state on the rolling terrain.

In the distance, the quiet of the afternoon is pierced by the chimes of the church's spire towers, whose hour hands move slowly, sometimes ringing, reminding the citizens of the passage of time.

From afar, the mountains outside the city-state reach into the sky, and the huge ice-carved peaks are dyed a faint gold by the afternoon sun, like the guardians of the city-state, quietly watching over the land.

After less than half an hour's drive, they were almost arriving at the Lord's Palace.

Mr. Butler said that as they were friends of Prince Char, the Lord's Mansion would also provide them with rooms, so they didn't need to look for a hotel in Chingston City.

There was now a little black cat in the carriage, playing hide-and-seek on Ranchi's shoulders and back.

Despite the fact that the cat boss was crawling around and moving, Ranchi looked out the window at the scenery and fell into deep thought.

The start of this trip to the north went very well.

The main goal is to go to the Northern Frontier Province to investigate what is going on with those Demon King Army's special killing units.

Only by digging up a little material can it be possible to stop the countdown on the head of Miss Duchess Clores.

This is a commission from Rowis, and it is also a pact, as long as she is kept, their ducal family will become a long-term help for Lanch, and it is of vital significance for Lanchi to move further into the upper echelons of the empire.

While becoming the acting headmaster of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos is an accomplishment, it's not enough to shock Hubertarian.

The headmaster position itself didn't help her empire much, nor did it make her have a better time.

I still need to work hard, and I must stand in the most conspicuous place and wait for her to come back.

Then there is a clue now, there is an investigation team in the imperial capital that went to the north one step earlier, and even he and Loris don't know what this investigation team is going to investigate.

And this information is currently only known to a few lords in the Snow Plains Province, and because of the importance of the matter, if it is not someone very close, they probably won't reveal it.

Although Ranch has several lords to choose from, each of which can find a way to get information, the closest one is Viscount Levine Chandton.

With Lanch's thoughts in his mind, the carriage slowly made its way through the heart of the city-state, through a maze of stone-paved alleys, and finally to the outskirts of the Lord's Palace.

A huge iron gate, lined with bronze eagle heads, and a high wall covered with ivy that has been tough in the wind and snow, shows the tenacity of life even on this cold winter day.

The carriage stopped, and when the three of them stepped out of the carriage, the butler was already standing at the door waiting.

He nodded to the three of them, bent slightly, and motioned for them to come in.

Walking through the garden, as far as the eye could see, there was a majestic mansion with dark grey stone walls contrasting with the snow, several large floor-to-ceiling windows made of heavy wood carvings, and the dark brown décor of the house faintly visible on the glass.

The butler opens a carved double door, followed by a spacious lobby with detailed mosaic tiles, several landscape and portrait paintings on the walls, and a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, through which the light shines on the classical-style woven carpet.

The three of them, led by the butler, walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the lord.

All around, the crimson curtains almost touched the ground, and at intervals, there was a golden candlestick, the candle flame flickered, emitting a faint light, and the large stove in the center, the fire was in full swing, and the warmth and light it emitted made this hall particularly comfortable.

"Please wait a minute, the lord and the young lady will be over soon."

The steward motioned for the attendants to entertain them, saluted them again, and then withdrew.

Silence filled the lobby for a while.

The three of them sat on a large sofa with gold trim, the crest of the Chiston Lords family embroidered on the cushions, a golden shield inlaid with emeralds and rubies, the family motto below, and a few brown wood coffee tables with delicate porcelain and silverware.

After taking their seats, Ranchi and Char just sat quietly, while Sid had already leisurely sipped his tea.

"What kind of distinguished guest the hell is you, you are the future son-in-law of Viscount Levine Chingston, and you are also an earltime no matter what."

She said.

"Miss Lilith may agree to the engagement."

Char hurriedly replied.

It is said that Viscount Levine Chesston is loyal to his deceased wife and has refused to remarry for many years, only Lilith is the only seedling, for Viscount Levine Kinston, Char is naturally a son-in-law candidate he likes, but if Lilith doesn't like it, then Viscount Levine Kinston will not force it.

"The red line crosses the secret of reincarnation, with me, as long as it is fateful, it will not be missed."

Lan Qi stroked the back of the cat boss and said softly.

Boss Cat shuddered.

Whoever says this sentence will be very moved when it hears it.

Except for what Lanch said, it didn't dare to move.

About a few more minutes passed.

There was a slight sound of footsteps above the lobby of the living room, accompanied by the sound of conversation, and several figures walked down the stairwell that hung in the air.

There were five figures in total, with three older men walking in front and younger men and women silently walking behind.

"I'm sorry, Blake, I still have guests to receive today."

Viscount Levine Chingston, the owner of the mansion at the head, looked distressed, as if he wanted to send away another aristocratic middle-aged man beside him as soon as possible.

Today's visitor is actually Viscount Blake Bonn, lord of the neighboring city-state of Bonn.

"The last descendant of the Candace family, just let me meet too?"

The aristocratic middle-aged man next to Viscount Levine Chingston, Viscount Blake Bonn, rubbed the ring on his little finger and smiled slightly.

Next to the two of them, there was a man in a dark suit who looked to be about thirty years old, and even if he didn't say a word, he exuded a majestic and noble aura.

As for the eldest lady who gradually revealed her figure, following Viscount Levine Kinston, she was wearing a light-colored gown, and slowly walked down like an ice sculpture beauty, and in an instant she took the attention of Char, who was sitting quietly on the first floor of the lobby.

Remembering the cosmos, the dancing steps shone, the long orange-red hair and blue eyes, just as Char and Ranchicid described.

Miss Lilith, however, only looked at Char briefly for a moment, and then looked away, as if she didn't recognize him at all, or had long forgotten the brief encounter she had in the imperial capital of Herrom as a child.

“……”

Viscount Levine Chingston apparently noticed Char and noticed his daughter Lilith's attitude, so he could only give Char a brief apologetic look, and then chatted with the people around him again.

"Under the guidance of Professor Meech, my kid has made rapid progress, and if Miss Lilith is invited to our city of Bonn to be taught by Professor Meech, it will be of decisive benefit to the competition in the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos in the future."

Viscount Blake Bonn, a middle-aged aristocratic man rubbing the ring, smiled and said.

"This ......"

Viscount Levine Chingston grimaced.

He didn't really want to get too close to Viscount Blake Bonn in this regard.

The other party has expressed many times that they want Miss Lilith to marry into their family, and Viscount Levine Chingston has been perfunctory.

But obviously, this time, the other party came prepared, and Viscount Levine did not want to offend the man in the dark suit known as Professor Mechi.

"The Royal Academy of Protos has a brutal elimination system, and excellent students can be above the rules, but I believe you also know that even ten students have to give three points to the most senior professors in the school, this Professor Mechi who happened to come to our Snow Plains Province to inspect is a big man at the top of the academy, can't you believe him?"

Seeing Viscount Levine Chenston's hesitation, Viscount Blake Bonn added with a smile.

In the distance, gradually hear what they are talking about.

On the couch, Sid and Lanch were stunned.

Sid glanced at Ranch with a little disdain.

He's the leader, so who's that?
