Not a Witch

"Yes, this subordinate has remembered." After that, the black figure disappeared into the study.

Although there are many decadent and depraved people among the nobles of the empire, the small group standing at the top of the pyramid is still a rare elite. They may not show their talents and achievements, but they have been secretly controlling the people in this country. Key resources with far-reaching impact.

"It's really interesting. I didn't expect to see such a special girl appear in this stormy day." Howard slowly tasted the wine in his hand, looking at the sunset sky in the distance.

"Which family made this exquisite vase, Landsworth? Forest elf? Or a descendant of the previous emperor?"

"And what's the purpose? To stir up disputes, to make the old and new factions contend, or to muddy the water to cover up something else?"

In this way, Howard stood in front of the window of the building, thinking carefully, with a playful smile on his face from time to time, until the sun completely set, the earl standing in the dark stood still like a bat watching the night .

Chapter 47 Reply from afar

The thunder exploded in the sky, piercing the dark night sky. Accompanied by the sound of thunder, heavy rain fell from the sky, hitting the eaves and the ground with crisp and loud splashes.

In the mansion at night, Lorraine Hill was wearing soft pajamas and sitting at the table. Countless raindrops hit the glass windows of the study, making continuous noises.

It's raining.

Such a thought came to Lorraine Hill's mind, then he stood up, took the lantern to the bedroom beside him, and closed the open window.At this time, many raindrops have already floated into the room, hitting the body together with the ups and downs of the curtains, and there is a cool feeling on the skin.

After drawing the curtains and closing the windows securely, the room became quiet again.At this point, Lorraine Hill returned to the study again, spread out a long letter, and read it slowly.

The orange candlelight illuminates the room, and the girl quietly looks at the handwriting on the page, her peaceful face is hazy and soft in the light.

After she returned to the Western Continent, although she did not return to Clancia immediately, she also sent the letter to the Tisilan Mountains through birds.He briefly asked about the current situation of Clancia, and said that he should not disclose the news of his return.

Today, she finally received a reply from Mira.The little bunny-eared girl she saved back then has grown up and matured now, but the words in the letter can still tell her agility and lightness in her character.

It's still the same, Lorraine Hill thought of this girl with pink hair and white rabbit ears, and now she is probably the eldest sister of the rabbit ear clan.It seems that besides Kanda, she has the highest qualifications.

The text in the letter is written in ciphertext, but it doesn't take much effort for Lorraine Hill to translate it, just use the system's assistance directly.

Dear His Royal Highness Lorraine Hill:

Wow, I am so happy to finally receive a message from His Highness.I was the first to know, Mira is very happy~?

Since His Highness disappeared that day, everyone and I have been sad for a long time, but Aaliyah said that she believes that His Highness is still alive, so we don’t need to be too sad, so that we will gradually get better.

After His Highness left, we ended the war with Frost United and gradually unified the Seven Snow Kingdoms, such as abolishing tariffs, unifying currency, improving teaching materials, establishing a common view of history, etc. Everyone had a hard but happy few years year.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the empire still launched a war. The emperor was a bad guy. He encouraged many innocent people to get involved in the war and attack us.

Many people died in the war, but everyone is still very brave, no one wants to surrender.I don't want to be a slave rabbit, obviously we've only had a good life not long ago.

However, there are too many troops in the empire, and among the Seven Xuehua Kingdoms, except for Kelancia, the other countries are basically still rebuilding and recovering. The previous battle with the Frost United has not slowed down, and now it is going to war again, hey.

The Lurna area was the first to suffer, and then the Verga area also fell. Falcon relied on the desert and the environment to involve the enemy for a long time, and then there was a difficult tug-of-war in Crancia.

There are also many geniuses in the empire. Aaliyah said that she met many former classmates on the battlefield, but it is a pity that neither party can have fun as easily as before.

The war was so bad that everyone had to betray past friendships and become enemies.

Many people died, and so did the Empire.

Aaliyah went crazy during the battle to defend Tisilan and turned into a bloody black rabbit. I was afraid that she would go to extremes, so I asked Brother Kanda to transfer her to the rear and let her do some clerical work.But she readily started the anti-counterfeiting work in the intelligence agency, specializing in examining the spies of the empire and the traitors in the country.

Alas, she used to be a good rabbit who liked to doze off and read novels, but now I'm a little afraid of her.

But we won the battle afterwards, those spinning and roaring machines are really terrifying, even I am afraid of killing people.I remember one time when I joined the treatment team to search and rescue the frontline, I saw that the land after the gunfire was swept away was full of broken corpses.

Alchemy is a great thing.

There seems to be a problem within the empire. Although they still had the ability to resist at the end of the war, they unexpectedly surrendered and agreed to many conditions that we thought we would not agree to.

After signing the defeat treaty, everything gradually settled down again.

Uncle Kanda said that he was a little tired and wanted to retreat to Tixilan Mountain and be a leisurely instructor or teacher.Aaliyah has now gone to the sanctuary, and I heard that she has recently carried out religious reforms under the crown of assistant Benesse to remove the corruption left over from the past sanctuary.

Oh, by the way, it is said that there is now an icon in the sanctuary, which is placed together with the statues of several other seraphs. Yes, this icon was built in imitation of you.Now there are many people worshiping His Highness in Xuehua Seven Country, and they have different titles.Princess of Fire, Sage, Star Witch, Archangel of Wind, etc.~

Recently, the High Priest of Charente is working with a group of priests, shamans, mages, and scholars to jointly draft a new doctrinal book, and it is said that it is almost finished.When they were collecting information in the early stage, I wrote down everything His Highness said in class when I was young. I believe His Highness will be very happy after knowing it~?

I hope His Highness can come back soon, the country is very different now.The streets and houses have become much neater and tidier, and schools have been built in various places to popularize knowledge, as well as current national guidelines and policies, to children and adults.

Cotton clothes, which were thought to be expensive and comfortable in the past, are now cheaper, and everyone's clothes are getting better and better. Solander also holds clothes design competitions from time to time, which attracts many people's attention.After the annual competition, many of the design styles in the competition will become popular in China, and even we can see these tourists wearing new clothes in Tixi Lanshan.

In order to allocate food in the south-central region, meat and fur in the north, minerals in the east, and salt fish in the west, the steel road you mentioned is currently being built in China, from the White Cliff Sanctuary in the west to the Sighing Cliff in the east, and from the From Gufia Grassland to Hoplander in the south, a long steel road is under construction.

Luerna's small magical locomotive before has changed its appearance now. Those powerful scholars and alchemists transformed it into long carriages, all connected together, swimming quickly on the ground like a steel flying dragon.

I heard from a businessman friend that if such steel roads are built, the whole country will prosper. She has already thought about building trade stations along such steel roads to allocate and store goods.Saying this will be of great use in the future.

I don't know much about these, but I think it's amazing~ Then I lent her the money to invest, and I hope I can get it back in the future.If His Highness thinks that such an idea will fail, lightly remind Mira.

Finally, everyone in Tisiran Mountains misses you.

(Also, the tiger you fostered in the Rabbit Ear Clan back then has also gained weight, I hope His Highness will teach it to be on a diet when it comes back~)

——Your student and eternal follower, Mira~?

After reading the letter, Lorraine Hill slowly let go of the previously hanging heart, and those children from back then have all grown up.Maybe I should give them more trust, I believe that even if she is not around, these outstanding children can create their own future.

The chick in the summer wind finally set sail against the sea breeze and flew to the vast sky.

Chapter 48 Visiting Again

"I want that baked cranberry bread~"

At the breakfast table in the morning, Ye Ling sat across from Lorraine Hill, with his feet dangling briskly under the high chair.

After resting and sleeping in the room for a few days, she was starving and wanted to eat something delicious early in the morning.

"Yugalia, let the kitchen make some more food." Looking at the night spirit who was not yet full, Lorraine Hill asked the elf maid beside him to replenish food.

"Okay, miss, please wait a moment." Immediately, the maid in black and white uniform walked downstairs quickly.

"Sister Lorraine is going out today?" Yeling looked curiously at the luxurious and beautiful outfit on Lorraine Hill during the boring time of waiting.

The dress is made of white silk as a whole, and the corners are decorated with exquisite golden flowers and leaves. The collar is a V-shaped opening, revealing the snow-white serrated inner lining wrapped in golden leaf vines.

At this time, there was a bright yellow sun hat with a white background and golden yellow, and flowers of various colors were stacked on it, which was very delicate.

"Yes, I'm going to Earl Howard's mansion today to attend a small party."

"Go to the party, then I'm not going. I thought sister Lolan was going to take me out to play today while I was awake." Ye Ling pouted a little angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't make such an expression, when I come back, I will take you around Titania tomorrow." The girl skillfully comforted the little dragon girl.

"That's settled." Finally, Yeling added a sentence to prevent Lorraine Hill from going back on his word.

"Yeah." The girl nodded with a smile, and then Eugelia also brought a plate of freshly baked bread and pastries.

"Eat well, Little Yeling~"

After leaving Earl Howard's mansion that day, the temporary chamber of commerce where Lorraine Hill was located received visits and inquiries from all parties.

Some people want to know more about Miss Lacey, while others are more curious about her origin and want to know about Miss Lacey's past.

Thinking that there must be various flaws in the long stay, Lorraine Hill also accelerated the pace of action.

Today, she took the carriage to Earl's Mansion again to attend the small party led by Earl Howard.

"Welcome Miss Lacey."

As soon as he got off the carriage, the butler who had been waiting for a long time came forward to welcome him, and then led Lorraine Hill to the inside of the mansion.

Today is different from the previous day, it seems very quiet, only a few servants are seen along the way, and the sides of the road are also full of neatly arranged flowers and plants, making people feel comfortable looking at the reeds.

"This way, please."

After turning a few corners, the butler led Lorraine Hill to a pavilion in a garden, where several people had already arrived.

"Miss Lacey is here." Earl Howard got up, greeted Lorraine Hill, and then introduced several other people in the pavilion.

"This is my daughter, Rothera." He picked up a girl around 18 years old.She has light blonde hair, and the white dress is covered with a whole layer of lace flowers, which looks weird.

"Hello~" Despite some reluctance, the earl's daughter obediently saluted Lorraine Hill.

"Hi, my name is Lacey." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"This is the third son of the Kahuaia family, Luther." Earl Howard pointed to the young man on the other side, who was wearing a straight trench coat and a long sword on his waist.

"Hello." He has black hair, but his appearance and pupils are still that of the Western Continent.

"Finally, it's my old friend's daughter, Fa Xiner."

Lorraine Hill looked more and more at the noble girl behind. She was wearing a black delicate dress, a black headband ribbon, black stockings, black waist-length hair, black eyes, and only exposed skin and hands , is a delicate white color, which is eye-catching.

The aristocratic girl sat there, like black satin, quiet and mysterious, until Earl Howard introduced her, she simply got up and nodded.

"She comes from a branch of the Trey family, she is very knowledgeable, and she must be able to answer many of Miss Lacey's questions."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two looked at each other and saluted together.

"Haha, then you guys talk first, I'll ask the maids to bring some fruit snacks. I won't bother you later."

Not long after Lorraine Hill was invited to take a seat, the Earl declined to leave, allowing several young people to get along freely.

"Huh, Uncle Howard has finally left."

A slightly thin young man untied the tie around his neck, pulled it a few times to loosen it, and showed a relaxed expression on his face.

Seeing this appearance, the other people in the pavilion were not surprised. It seemed that they were already familiar with each other on weekdays.

Now, apart from Lorraine Hill, there are only 4 other young men and women in the pavilion.

"Is Lacey a bit unfamiliar, come and sit down first." The earl's daughter, Rosell, stood up and led the girl to sit down. At this time, the white stone table in the pavilion happened to be divided into five different directions by five people.

Seeing that the girl was a bit cautious, Rosella, as the host, took the initiative to take responsibility for the atmosphere of the event, and Lorraine Hill gradually became familiar with it.

After a round of introductions like this, Lorraine Hill also roughly wrote down the names of these people, the black-haired and black-eyed noble girl Fa Xiner, the young Luther with a saber, the lazy and casual young nobleman Du Xiu, Howard's Second daughter Rothera.
