Chapter 313 Principal Lanqi's Impostor
The carriage of the Lord's Mansion traveled through the undulating city-state roads.
In the distance, the bells of the church spire and tower pierced the tranquility of this afternoon. The hour hand of the towering bell tower moved slowly and sounded from time to time, reminding the citizens of the passage of time.
Looking from a distance, the mountains outside the city-state reach straight into the sky. The huge ice-carved peaks are dyed a faint golden color by the afternoon sun. They are like the guardians of the city-state, quietly watching over this land.
After driving for less than half an hour, they were almost arriving at the Lord's Mansion.
Mr. Butler said that as they were friends of Young Master Xia, the Lord's Mansion would also provide them with guest rooms, so they did not need to find a hotel specifically in Kingston City.
There is now a little black cat in the carriage. It seems to be playing hide and seek on Lan Qi's shoulder and behind.
Even though Boss Cat was crawling around and moving, Lan Qi still looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought.
This trip to the north started very smoothly.
The main goal is to go to the northern border province to investigate what is going on with the special killing units of the Demon King's Army.
Only by digging out some big materials can it be possible to stop the countdown on Princess Cloris's head.
This is a commission from Cloris, and it is also an agreement. As long as she is kept, the Duke's family will become Lanqi's long-term support, which is of vital significance to Lanqi's advancement to the upper echelons of the empire.
At present, although becoming the acting principal of Protus Royal Academy of Magic is considered an achievement, it is not enough to shock Hyperion.
The position of principal itself is of little help to her journey to the empire, and it cannot make her have more fun or comfort.
I still need to work hard, and I must stand in the most conspicuous place and wait for her to come back.
Now a clue appeared. There was an investigation team in the imperial capital that went to the north earlier. Even he and Cloris didn't know what this investigation team was going to investigate.
At present, only a few lords of the Snowfield Province know this information. Because the matter is so important, they probably will not disclose it unless they are very close people.
Although Lanchi has several lords to choose from, each of whom can find ways to extract information, the closest one at the moment is Viscount Levin Kingston.
Followed by Lan Qi's thoughts, the carriage slowly passed through the center of the city-state, passed through intricate stone alleys, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the lord's mansion.
A huge iron gate with bronze eagle head patterns inlaid on both sides. The high wall is covered with tough ivy in the wind and snow, showing the tenacity of life even in this cold winter.
The carriage stopped, and when the three of them got out of the carriage, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door.
He nodded to the three of them, bent slightly, and motioned for them to come in.
Through the garden, what they saw was a majestic mansion with dark gray stone walls stained with white snow. Several large floor-to-ceiling windows were made of heavy wood carvings. The dark brown decoration of the house could be vaguely seen on the glass.
The butler first opened a carved double door, and behind it was a spacious lobby. The floor was paved with detailed mosaic colored tiles. Several landscape and portrait oil paintings were hung on the walls. A huge crystal chandelier hung on the ceiling, and the light passed through it. Sprinkle on a classically styled woven rug.
Under the guidance of the butler, the three of them walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the lord.
All around, the crimson curtains almost touch the floor. Every once in a while, there is a golden candlestick. The candlelight is swaying and emitting a faint light. The large stove in the center is burning brightly. The warmth and light it emits are all... Make this hall look particularly comfortable.
“Please wait a moment, the three of you. The lord and lady will be here soon.”
The steward signaled to the attendants to entertain them, saluted them again, and then retired.
Silence filled the lobby for a while.
The large sofa where the three of them were sitting was inlaid with gold, and the cushions were embroidered with the crest of Lord Kingston's family, a golden shield inlaid with emeralds and rubies, and underneath was the family's motto, and several brown wooden sheets. Exquisite porcelain and silverware are placed on the finished coffee table.
After taking their seats, Lan Qi and Xia just sat quietly, while West Germany was already enjoying tea leisurely.
"What kind of distinguished guest are you? You are the future son-in-law of Viscount Levin Kingston, and you are an earl after all."
She said.
“It is uncertain whether Miss Lilith will agree to this engagement.”
Xia Ya quickly replied. It is said that Viscount Levin Kingston was loyal to his late wife and refused to remarry for many years, leaving Lilith alone. For Viscount Levin Kingston, Chara was naturally his favorite son-in-law, but If Lilith doesn't like it, then Viscount Levon Kingston won't force it.
“The red line draws the secret of reincarnation. As long as I am here, those who are destined will not miss it.”
Lan Qi stroked Boss Cat's back and said softly.
The cat boss suddenly felt a chill.
Whoever hears this sentence will be very moved.
Only what Lan Qi said was that it did not dare to move.
Approximately a few more minutes passed.
There were some footsteps above the lobby of the living room, and along with the voices of conversation, several figures walked down the suspended staircase.
There were five figures in total, three older men walking in front, and a young man and woman walking silently behind.
“I'm sorry, Blake, I still have guests to receive today.”
The head of the mansion, Viscount Levon Kingston, looked troubled and seemed to want to send away another noble middle-aged man beside him as soon as possible.
Today's visitor is actually Viscount Blake Bonn, the lord of the neighboring city-state Bonn.
“Is it just right for me to meet the descendant of the Candace family?”
Viscount Blackburn, a middle-aged aristocratic man next to Viscount Levin Kingston, rubbed the ring on his little finger and smiled slightly.
Beside the two of them, there is a man in a dark suit who is walking with his hands behind his back. He looks about thirty years old. Even if he doesn't say a word, he exudes a majestic and noble aura.
As for the eldest lady who gradually emerged and followed behind Viscount Levin Kingston, she was wearing a light-colored dress and walked down slowly like an ice sculpture beauty. In an instant, she took away the people sitting quietly on the first floor of the lobby. Char's gaze.
Looking back at the world, the dancing steps sparkle, the long orange hair and blue eyes are just like what Char and Lanchiside described.
However, Miss Lilith only looked at Char briefly for a moment, and then looked away, as if she didn't recognize him at all, or she had long forgotten the brief encounter in the imperial capital of Herrom when she was a child.
Viscount Levin Kingston obviously noticed Char and his daughter Lilith's attitude. He could only give Char a brief look of apology, and then started chatting with the people around him again.
"Under the guidance of Professor Meiqi, my boy has made rapid progress. If Miss Lilith is also invited to our city of Bonn to receive the guidance of Professor Mechi, it will be of decisive benefit to the future competition at Protos Royal Academy of Magic."
Viscount Blackburn, a middle-aged aristocratic man who was rubbing his ring, smiled and said.
"this…"
Viscount Levin Kingston looked troubled.
In fact, he did not want to have too close contact with Viscount Blackburn in this regard.
The other party has expressed his intention to marry Miss Lillis into their family many times, but Viscount Levin Kingston has always ignored it.
But obviously, this time, the other party was well prepared, and Viscount Levin was not willing to offend the man in a dark suit called Professor Mech.
"Protus Royal Academy has a cruel last-minute elimination system, and outstanding students can override the rules. But I believe you also know that even ten students have to compete with several of the most senior professors in the school. To be polite, this Professor Meqi who happened to come to our Snowfield Province for inspection is a big shot at the top of the academy, can't you trust him?"
Seeing Viscount Levin Kingston's hesitation, Viscount Blackburn added with a smile.
From a distance, their conversation gradually became clear.
Si De and Lan Qi were stunned on the sofa.
Hide glanced at Lanqi with some disdain.
He is the leader, then who is he?
