It's snowing, the first snow.

Standing by the windowsill of the study, Earl Heather sighed slightly in his heart. He naturally knew what the meaning of this snow meant. Even if he was unwilling to face some things, he could never avoid them.

Sitting back on the chair in the study, Earl Heather turned his gaze to Xia Lan, who was standing silently not far away.

"The guard just sent back the news, and Overled will come in a little while."

"Do you need to start the verification preparation for bloodline collection now?" Xia Lan said in a low voice.

"No need." Earl Heather shook his head and said, "Because I believe you did not lie, that girl was indeed the daughter of the former king who mysteriously disappeared."

"You've investigated it?" Xia Lan said.

"Yes, I haven't wasted these more than ten days of precious time in vain." Earl Heather said with a smile on his face: "Maybe one of the important reasons why Viscount Frant sent Baisze and Bukins to chase you is because it comes from Princess Pandillia, right?!"

"I don't know." Xia Lan said. "In fact, it may not have been discovered."

"Thinking about the sensation you caused in Tralo City, it really makes people sigh at your bravery. You can only do this by riding alone and breaking in the night." Earl Heather sighed.

"The biggest reason why we were able to escape from Tralo successfully is because of the hostage relationship we had at our hands." Xia Lan said.

"Is Viscount Frant's little niece Serrara? I've heard the secrets between Bukins and her, but I didn't expect this to be true." Earl Heather said.

"What kind of plan do you seem to have?!" Xia Lan said.

"Yes, I need you to kidnap Serra again to threaten Bukins to serve me!" Earl Heather said coldly.

"Please forgive me for not being able to agree to your order before the transaction is completed." Xia Lan refused in a plain tone.

"Is the essence of life? Is it for you!"

At this time, Earl Heather opened a drawer under the desk in front of him, reached out to take out a crystal clear bottle and threw it at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan took it with her hand and a solemn expression appeared on her face. Especially when he opened the cork at the bottle mouth, a stimulating smell full of strong breath of life rushed straight into the brain nerves, and she felt a sober and comfortable pleasure in her entire body.

"Unexpected?!"

Earl Heather looked at the other party calmly licking the essence of life dripping from the bottle to test the authenticity, but his eyes could not hide his deep nostalgia and reluctance.

After Xia Lan sealed the plug and put it in the void ring, he nodded and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so relieved and bold in handing over the essence of life to me, and the place where the essence of life was placed was beyond my imagination."

"Have you ever thought about stealing it?" said Earl Heather.

"Yes, if the transaction fails," Xia Lan admitted.

"I appreciate your outspokenness, but my unscrupulous thoughts make people afraid." Earl Heather said with a faint smile.

"At least you don't need to worry about this problem now." Xia Lan said.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

A rhythmic loud knock on the door suddenly came. Before Earl Heather could speak, the door was pushed open unceasingly.

"Old guy! Long time no see!"

As the door opened, Overled stepped in and said with a free laugh on his handsome face.

Earl Heather seemed to have been used to his behavior, and there was no angry expression on his face. He glanced at Overleigh briefly and pointed to the seat below. His answer was only one word.

"sit."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be here too. It seems that you have reached an agreement with the old guy?!"

However, Overled directly took Earl Heather's words as a warning. After he saw Xia Lan, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Yes. I have completed the transaction with Count Heather." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Very good! Very good!"

Overled's smile became brighter and more brilliant and hideous!

"Overried!"

Earl Heather spoke again, his voice was very cold, so cold that the air in the entire study was condensed.

Overlet held back his smile and sat obediently on the chair that Earl Heather pointed at just now, as calm as if the farce of the last moment had never happened.

As the only son of Count Heather, he is naturally the one who knows the character of his father best. Perhaps you can make fun of him when no one is present, but once outsiders are present, Overled dares not make mistakes easily, because Count Heather would not give him any kindness at that time.

If the son does not teach, the father will be the fault of the father.

When he was young, Overled's mother died of illness. Earl Heather, who was often busy with territorial affairs, had no time to discipline the other party. Although Overled was precocious and steady, he had little respect for his father. Earl Heather could understand his fault for discipline for his lack of time. However, in front of outsiders, he was Rodway's lord, and his majesty could not be offended even by his only son!

"I think you should know the content of the Eagle Letter, and have the problems on the front and rear of Sloan have been prepared for the arrangement?!"

After watching his son calm down, Earl Heather began to ask.

"Yes, according to the content of the letter you sent, I have made the soldiers on the Sloan front begin to evacuate in batches in an orderly manner. Your strategic intention is correct. With our current strength, it will be difficult to resist their raids on both fronts at the same time!" Overled said in a deep voice. "I didn't expect that Viscount Frant and Viscount Duda's purpose of enduring for so long was to attempt to annex us. If we had not discovered their conspiracy in advance, the entire Rodway would have fallen into overturning."

"Thank you here for your information."

As he said that, Overleigh bowed to Xia Lan not far away.

"What's the movement of Viscount Frant when you quietly left Sloan?!" Earl Heather continued to ask.

"The troops and food are still gathering." Overled.

"Haha--" Earl Heather sneered: "If we had not known their conspiracy, we would have thought that Viscount Frant was preparing to start a war with us in winter. When we were drawing troops to fight them, on the other hand, Viscount Duda, who was hidden, took advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack on Rodway's empty rear. We would definitely be defeated by the attack on both sides!"

"But now we can use our plan to find out their conspiracy!" Overled snorted coldly.

"Overred, this time I will appoint you as the supreme commander of Togrado!" Earl Heather said gently knocking on the table.

"Torgrado?! Did my father want me to defend against Viscount Duda's sneak attack?!" Overled frowned after hearing this and said, "Please forgive me for not accepting your appointment!"

"Why?!" Earl Heather narrowed his eyes.

"Because I want to fight Viscount Frant! Instead of the nameless Viscount Duda!" Overled said indignantly.

"No!" Earl Heather said decisively.

"Why?!" Overled suddenly stood up and said.
Chapter completed!
