The afternoon sun shines on the white walls of Rose Manor, making this exquisite and quiet manor gleaming like a layer of gold foil.

If the majestic Black Castle is like a giant beast, then this elegant and beautiful manor is the brain of the giant beast.

Victor straightened his collar and, led by his attendants, walked into the greenhouse of the manor. The owner of the manor, Countess Sylvia, was waiting for him there.

Although the greenhouse area of ​​Rose Manor is not large, it is made of natural crystal. Bright sunlight shines directly into the entire greenhouse through the crystal dome. There is a copper pipe surrounding the crystal wall, and warm gas flows from the copper pipe from time to time.

Jets spray out from the small eyes distributed on the tube, making the entire greenhouse feel warm like spring.

The soft sunshine and warm environment filled the flower room with flowers that should have withered long ago in the Water Moon.

In the crystal flower room, the vitality of flowers and green grass is in sharp contrast with the bleak scene of withered vegetation outside the crystal wall. This huge contrast gives Victor a feeling of confusion in time and space.

However, what really caught Victor's attention was the countess who was arranging flowers in the flower room.

The Countess was wearing a snow-white gauze dress with a slender waist and straight shoulders. Her slender white hands were holding a freshly cut red rose, but she had not yet inserted the branch into the half-finished flower.

.

At this time, Sylvia's eyes were bright and focused, her white and high forehead, straight and beautiful nose bridge and slightly pursed pretty red lips gave her a demure, beautiful, confident and intelligent temperament, even though she was just

Standing in the corner of the greenhouse makes people feel that she is the center of the greenhouse.

Under Victor's silent gaze, Sylvia inserted the rose in her hand into the blue flower.

She picked up the flower basket and looked at it for a while, and a satisfied smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth. This pure smile was completely different from the smoky, flirtatious, and dissolute countess in Victor's impression, which made Victor feel uneasy.

Trance.

"Your Excellency, Baron, what do you think of this flower basket I placed?" Sylvia took the silk scarf handed over by the maid and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, but there was no response from the guest. She was stunned.

Turning to look at Victor.

Seeing Victor looking at her intently, Sylvia couldn't help but smile.

Hearing the countess's slightly proud laughter, Victor's face suddenly turned red and he stepped forward to give the countess a noble salute. "Victor, I have met the countess."

"Please sit down." Sylvia motioned to the maid to move the flower basket down, walked to a wicker chair, sat down, and invited Victor to sit on the wicker chair opposite her.

"Your Excellency Baron, why did you come to see me today?" Sylvia asked Victor softly.

"Countess, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I plan to lead my followers and people to the territory to take up their posts in the next two days." Victor said respectfully to Sylvia.

"Oh." Sylvia casually picked up a cup of honey and pine nut tea on the round table and took a sip.

Seeing that Sylvia had no expression, Victor gritted his teeth and continued: "Countess, you know that I have just changed my territory to a new territory. In accordance with the regulations of the Kingdom on Territory Development, I request Black Castle to send knights to my territory to clear it out.

Of monsters and bandits.”

As the governor of the pioneer territory, the Earl of York has the obligation to regularly send troops to inspect the entire pioneer territory and assist local lords in exterminating monsters and bandits to ensure the safety of the entire pioneer territory.

"Then you should talk to my husband instead of coming to me." Sylvia's long white fingers gently stroked the silver tea cup and said to Victor playfully.

"Countess, the Governor of York seems to be still worried about those 50 purple gold coins, so I can only come to you to help me." Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yes, since our York family left the Eastern Territory, we have lost a large sum of gold soles. When we arrived at Centaur Hills, we invested a huge amount of money to build the Black Castle, and you even extorted the last bit of money from us. Humph!

Sylvia rolled her eyes at Victor with a look of resentment and anger.

Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

The cost of building this crystal flower house alone is probably not less than one hundred thousand gold soles. This amount of money is more than enough to build a baronial castle.

"Countess, I am willing to donate a sum of money to the Governor as the cost of the knight's departure." Victor was ready to be killed by the Countess before he came.

"Oh, how much are you prepared to pay?" Sylvia's eyes lit up and she smiled at Victor.

Just when Victor was about to answer the Countess, he felt something rubbing his calf a few times. He looked up and saw the Countess looking at him charmingly with a smile on her lips. Victor couldn't help but think of two days ago.

On that beautiful night, I couldn't help but feel a surge in my heart. I quietly stretched out my hand and caught Zai Yuan's naughty little feet that teased him a few times. The delicate and smooth touch made Victor couldn't help but hold the countess's delicate and charming feet in his hands.

Knead it gently in your hands.

Two red clouds flew up from Sylvia's jade-white cheeks, and her watery eyes glanced at Victor with a half-smile, as if she was complaining about his presumption or encouraging his boldness, but she didn't

Take back the jade feet that have fallen into the clutches of the devil.

"How much does Madam think I should pay?" Victor asked Sylvia warmly.

"For 10,000 gold soles, I will let Knight Bruce lead four knight attendants and a team of cavalry to escort you to the new territory and eliminate the monsters and bandits in the territory. What do you think?" Sylvia said in a disgusted voice.

, Victor's hands became more and more dishonest, and he even used the techniques taught by the court ladies, which almost made her moan.

"Absolutely, but I have a small request, please agree to it, Madam." Victor said to Sylvia with a smile.

Through the crystal wall, Sylvia watched the young baron gradually disappear from her sight under the guidance of his attendants, and then she asked the old housekeeper coldly: "Find out who spread the word Victor among the refugees."

Any news that the baron was attacked by bandits?"

"Master, we have found out that it was spread by the steward of Baron de Villepin's family." the old housekeeper replied respectfully.

"Villepin? Cousin of Queen Catherine's family? Haha, it seems they still don't give up! They think that by hindering the progress of the young baron's recruitment of subjects, they can delay time so that the prince's party can overturn our replacement agreement. Unfortunately, they

Like me, no one thought that the little baron who was supposed to be like a vase was not a simple character." Sylvia sneered.

"Go get Bruce."

"Yes, Master." The old butler bowed and stepped back.

Thinking of Victor's little request before leaving, Sylvia murmured to herself: "Victor, I am really looking forward to your performance more and more, but when you see the castle I prepared for you
Chapter completed!
