Chapter 174 Black Swan Girl

The cold north, the sky and the earth obscured by the wind and snow.

The world becomes unchanging whiteness, the beauty that brings fear, and when the gentle sunshine is lost, life ceases to grow.

On the hard permafrost, the small rock-built castle could not be seen clearly in the wind and snow, and only part of the windows and gates could be seen.

A man in black armor stood in front of the swaying window of the flying snow, looking at the outside world. At this time, the door was pushed open, and a woman in a headscarf walked in with a candle lamp, and then placed the lamp on the table to illuminate the dimness. interior.

"Are you still looking at the situation outside? According to those wizards' speculation, this heavy snow will not stop in a short time."

"I understand, but I still feel my own insignificance." The man turned around, and there were still a few snowflakes on Rujian's eyebrows. .

"After becoming an extraordinary person, the cold and heat of the four seasons are no longer a hindrance to me. It is inevitable that I ignore the changes in the environment. It was not until this cold winter that I realized that we are still mortals, and we can only shudder under the majesty of winter. Trembling." He shook his head and sat down.

"How's Annie?" he asked his wife beside him.

"She just fell asleep and seems to be a little restless recently. The snow has kept her at home for too long."

"Haha, this is also embarrassing her." The man smiled, then took the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"How much food is left in the castle?"

"Probably can let the people in the town support for half a year. Compared with other villages and towns, it is considered rich." The woman sighed softly.

"Thank you very much to the business lady who happened to meet in the south. Because of her guidance, we bought a lot of affordable food."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen." The wife beside her reminded.

"Well, if it wasn't for Her Majesty's hand letter, our team might not be able to return smoothly." Recalling the hardships along the way, the man couldn't help but feel fortunate.

These knights were ordered to go to the south to purchase food, but on the way back, they encountered many harsh and greedy nobles, trying to detain or confiscated this batch of life-saving food. Fortunately, after hearing about it, Her Majesty the Queen specially issued a hand order to let the nobles along the way. Release, these special materials shall not be stuck.

Because of the deterrence of the Royal Legion, these nobles had to restrain a lot, which allowed them to finally return to the North in a stable manner.

With this batch of food, Han Yeling has spent a stable winter, even if the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there are fewer scenes of people dying of starvation.

However, how long can such a situation last? The day when the food is exhausted, and what choices will they face?

In Titania's court, the music was still playing soothingly, and the court girls danced gracefully. The dancing skirts were like blooming petals, shining under the brilliant lights.

Jerain and a group of young nobles watched from the side of the dance floor, and many noble girls secretly looked at it, calculating when to approach the eldest son of the griffin, and let his eyes stay on himself.

"Long time no see, Jerain." A man with short black hair and a black dress walked over. His physique was strong and exuded a mature male demeanor.

"Senior Elon, long time no see." Jerain was slightly surprised to see the man, then smiled, and the two shook hands.

Elon Trey, the second son of the Duke of Raven, is also recognized as the next head of the Trey family and the successor of the Duke of Raven.

Although he was the second son, because the eldest son was too frail and sickly and was bedridden all the year round, he was trained directly according to the standards of the successor, and now he has a high reputation among the upper echelons of the empire.

Compared with the unmarried Jalan, this Raven Duke's successor already has three children, and he has already begun to deal with the size of the territory, slowly taking over some affairs of the old Raven Duke.

The reason why he has been staying in Titenia for a long time now is because he has negotiated with all parties and deployed the relief materials.

Although Elon Trey also graduated from Emenas, but he was two years earlier than Jerain, so the intersection between the two is not too much, and it can only be regarded as acquaintance.

Curious about the purpose of this senior and the empire's other duke successor greeting him, Jerain still maintained the enthusiasm and welcome on the surface.

After the two chatted and reminisced about the campus time for a while, it was only then that they talked about the recent things.

"I've heard a lot about you recently." The senior showed a mysterious smile.

"Oh, what's the rumor, shouldn't it be mocking me?" Jerain responded with a smile.

"No, everyone said that since you, a young lion, came to Titania, other people lost their charm in an instant, and they can no longer let those beautiful girls sway their minds." Elon shook his wine glass slightly, and two People leaned on the guardrail and looked at the lively dance floor below.

"This is just a joke, it's not so exaggerated." Jerain shook his head and drank the orange Cointreau in his hand with a smile.

"This is true. In fact, this time I came here to be a matchmaker and introduce a distant sister of mine." After speaking, Elon waved, and a girl in a black dress walked slowly.

She has black hair and black pupils, and is wearing black stockings, black lace gloves, and a black dress. Only the exposed skin on her shoulders and neck is so snow-white, which makes people look amazing and attractive.

"Fa Xiner, this is Jerain, presumably

You already know his identity. "

"I've seen Lord Jerain." The slender black-haired girl raised her skirt, her graceful neck lowered like a black swan, and then lifted up, her black crystal-like pupils looked at Jerain.

Even the eldest son of the well-informed Griffin has to admit that he was a little tempted at such a moment. This is indeed a moving girl, and it even has some overlap with the one in memory.

"How is it, isn't she very beautiful, my sister. Her name is Fa Xiner, and there is no marriage contract yet. My brother is also a little worried, so I want you to get to know each other briefly. As for whether it will be successful in the future, it depends on You have chosen for yourself, and all I can do is here."

After introducing his distant sister, Elon left a space for the two of them to be alone, and then walked away in small steps.

When other noble girls saw it, they looked at the girl with jealousy, and some even wanted to slander this lucky girl. Even if they were ruined, they should not let her succeed.

It’s a pity that such people were stopped by other nobles around them, openly or secretly. Although the Trey family has always kept a low profile in the upper echelons of the empire, it does not mean that they are in a weak position. One of the four great dukes of this empire still has a terrifying call. Ability, countless northern lords allegiance under the raven banner.

Since Elon Trey, the successor of the duke, took the initiative to act as a matchmaker, other great nobles had to sell his face, and they were not allowed to disturb or block him, otherwise it would be against the Trey family.

In the empire, there are only a handful of families that can compete with the Trey family, and they should not be offended like this.

As a result, in the lively palace banquet, a small quiet space was miraculously formed beside Jalan and Faxiner. The two sat at the small round table, drinking clear and mellow wine, talking to each other, talking Recent anecdotes, and hobbies of mutual interest.

In the golden chandelier, the rays of light pass through the surface of the layers of glass, reflecting the splendid splendor, which embellishes the splendid palace. Here, boys and girls get to know each other and become attached to each other, and their marriage will form a new one. Unions and relationships, step by step change the position of imperial power.

Such scenes continue to be staged, and together they outline the colorful and ever-changing lives of these luxurious people.
