Chapter 312: The Imposter of Principal Lanchi

today, it's not a big deal. Sophia would be at most slightly embarrassed.If it were gold, Huberly would be very pleased and try to comfort Sophia. The problem wouldn't be so serious then.But now.Plat...Chapter 313: Principal Ranchi's Impersonator

The lord's carriage rolled along the undulating roads of the city-state.

In the distance, the church spire's bells pierced the afternoon quiet, their lofty clock tower's hands slowly moving, chiming now and then, reminding the townsfolk of time's passage.

Looking afar, the mountains outside the city reach straight to the sky. The gigantic ice-sculpture like peaks are bathed in the afternoon sun, tinged with a faint gold, like guardians of the city, silently watching over this land.

After less than half an hour of driving, they were almost arriving at the lord's mansion.

The butler said that as young Xia's friends, the lord's mansion would also provide them with guest rooms, so they didn't need to specifically find a hotel in Qinshton City.

There is now a little black cat in the carriage, it seems to be playing hide-and-seek on and behind Lance's shoulders.

Although the cat boss scurried around non-stop, Ranch still gazed out the window, lost in thought.

The beginning of this trip north went very smoothly.

The main objective is to travel to the northern border province and investigate those special killing squads of the Demon Army.

Only by unearthing some juicy tidbits would it be possible to stop the clock ticking on Miss Clarissa Duchess's head.

This is a commission from Corliss, and an agreement as well. As long as she's safe, the Duke family will become a long-term ally to Ranchi, which is crucial for Ranchi to move further up the imperial hierarchy.

While becoming the acting headmaster of Protoss Royal Magic Academy is quite an accomplishment, it's far from enough to shake Hyberlia.

This headmaster position wouldn't really help her imperial journey, nor would it make things more fun or easier for her.

I still need to work hard and wait for her return in the most visible place.

Then a clue appeared right now, there was an investigation team from the imperial capital that went north earlier than them, even he and Cloris didn't know what this investigation team was investigating.

And this information is currently only known to a few lords in the Frostfang Province. Due to its importance, they wouldn't divulge it to anyone who isn't very close to them.

Although there are several lords in Lancy that could be persuaded to divulge information, the most recent one available is Baron Levin Qinston.

Accompanying Lance's thoughts, the carriage slowly traversed the heart of the city-state, winding through a labyrinth of cobbled alleys before finally reaching the outskirts of the lord's manor.

A massive iron gate stood tall, flanked by bronze eagle motifs. The high wall was covered in resilient evergreen vines that had weathered the snow and wind. Even on this frigid winter day, they displayed the tenacity of life.

The carriage came to a stop. After three people got out, the butler was already waiting at the door.

He nodded to the three people, bowing slightly, and motioned for them to enter.

Passing through the garden, all they could see was a majestic mansion. The deep gray stone walls stood in stark contrast to the white snow, and several large bay windows were crafted from heavy wood carvings. Through the glass, one could faintly glimpse the dark brown furnishings inside the house.

The butler first opened a pair of intricately carved double doors, behind which lay a spacious hall. The floor was paved with intricate mosaic tiles, and the walls were hung with several landscape and portrait oil paintings. A giant crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, its light filtering through, scattering on the classical style woven carpet.

Three people, led by the butler, walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for the master's arrival.

Surrounded by deep red curtains that almost touched the ground, golden candle holders stood at intervals. The flickering flames cast a dim glow. In the center, a large fireplace blazed merrily, its warmth and light making the hall feel especially cozy.

"Please wait a moment for the Lord and Lady, they will be here soon."

The steward indicated to the attendants to entertain them and bowed again before retiring.

Silence filled the hall for a while.

The spacious sofa where the three sat was inlaid with gold trim, and the cushions were embroidered with the crest of the Lord of Qineston, a golden shield set with emeralds and rubies. Below it was the family motto. On several small wooden tea tables were placed delicate porcelain and silver.

After taking their seats, both Lance and Xia simply sat in silence, while Sid had already begun to leisurely sip his tea.

"So, who exactly is this distinguished guest You are the future daughter-in-law of Sir Levan Quentinston and a count's son after all."

She said.

"Whether Miss Lilias would agree to this engagement is still uncertain."

Xia Ya hurriedly replied.

It is said that Lord Leven Cintston was faithful to his deceased wife and refused to remarry for many years. Lilyse was his only child, and to Lord Leven Cintston, Xia Ya was a desirable son-in-law. However, if Lilyse disliked him, Lord Leven Cintston would not force the issue.

"The red line crosses the secret deeply hidden in reincarnation. As long as there are destined people, no one will miss it."

Lancy stroked the cat owner's spine, gently saying.

The cat boss shivered suddenly.

Whoever says this sentence will be touched by it.

Only what Lan Qi said, it did not dare to move.

Another few minutes passed.

Footsteps echoed from the grand hall above, accompanied by hushed conversations. Several figures descended from the suspended stairwell.

Five figures in all, three elder men walked in the front, the young man and woman walking silently behind.

I'm sorry, Blake. I have guests to see today.

Sir Levin Quentinstone, the master of the mansion adorned with , seemed troubled, as if eager to get rid of the other nobleman, a middle-aged man beside him.

Today's guest was actually Lord Blackthorn, a baron from the neighboring city-state of Bourne.

"The descendants of the Candy family, just in time for me to meet them"

Lord Blakely Bourne, a middle-aged nobleman standing beside Sir Leven Kinsington, twirled the ring on his thumb and smiled slightly.

Beside them stood a man in a dark suit with his hands behind his back. He looked to be around thirty years old. Even without speaking, he exuded an aura of authority and nobility.

As for the figure gradually emerging from behind Lord Levenston, it was a young lady clad in a pale dress. She descended like an ice sculpture, stealing the gaze of all the summer guests seated in the hall in an instant.

Recalling the world, dancing steps shining, that orange-red hair and azure eyes, just as Xia Ya and Lan Chi Xi De described.

However, Miss Lillis only glanced at Xia for a moment before looking away, as if she hadn't recognized him at all, or perhaps had simply forgotten their brief encounter in the imperial capital of Helrom when they were children.

"……"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sir Levin Custenstone apparently noticed Xia, and also the attitude of his daughter, Lilias. He could only cast a brief apologetic glance at Xia before resuming conversation with those around him.

Under Professor March's guidance, my son has progressed by leaps and bounds. If Miss Lilias were also to join us in Bonn and receive instruction from Professor March, it would be of decisive benefit to her future competition at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

Blackbourne, a nobleman in his middle years who was twirling his ring, smiled and said.

"This..."

Lord Levin's face darkened.

He actually didn't want to get too close to Lord Blackbourne on this subject.

The other party has repeatedly expressed their desire for Miss Lilias to marry into their family. Sir Levan Quintston has politely brushed them off each time.

It was clear this time, the other party had come prepared. Sir Levin did not wish to offend the man in the dark suit called Professor Mechi.

"Protoss Royal Academy has a brutal elimination system, and outstanding students can even rule above the rules. But I believe you also know that even the top ten students must show deference to several of the most senior professors at the academy. Professor Mech, who just happened to come to our Frostfang Province for inspection, is precisely one of the top figures in the academy. You wouldn't distrust him, would you"

Seeing Lord Levenston's hesitation, Lord Blackbourne added with a chuckle.

In the distance, I gradually heard their conversation.

Both Wes and Lance were stunned on the sofa.

West Germany looked at Lanchi with a hint of disdain.

He is the leader, who are you
