It is very clear that this dream information is so vivid due to external influences.
There is even a possibility that...
The scene that appears here may have actually happened in reality.
That heart-shaped Bithpara tree is the trace left in this world by Xilin’s lover.
The purpose is to commorate deceased love.
In other words, the current ti point is at least before Lady Xilin’s death.
Thinking this, Louis left the room directly.
He wandered around for a while before hearing a sound in a study.
He passed directly through the doorway and went in to take a look.
A housekeeper was standing next to a young man, saying:
"Sir, your fiancée Miss Xilin Reinhardt has co to see you."
The quill in the hand of the young man at the desk paused for a mont. He looked up and said:
"What did you say?"
Louis was suddenly enlightened.
This ti point, this na.
It seems to be the ti when Lady Xilin just ca to see her fiancé.
"Martin, isn’t there still a year before the wedding?"
Housekeeper Martin said:
"Yes, but..."
He looked up seriously and said:
"Since the lady went through the trouble to co here, I think it’s better for you to et her."
The young man pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache and said:
"It’s really impolite. Even if we have an engagent, she can’t just co knocking without prior notice, right?"
"And it’s precisely during this onset of winter, the busiest ti for magical beasts invading."
"The family still has to stock up on food for the territory to get through winter. The situation in Byron Territory is very severe this year, shouldn’t she learn about it first?"
Louis looked out at the heavy snowfall outside the window.
Winter in the north is inherently cold.
The heavy snow outside the window could really be deadly.
But upon saying this, Louis instinctively furrowed his brows.
Judging by the young man’s words, should he be the ruler of Byron Territory?
Thinking about it, it seed right. He had vaguely felt sothing was wrong before.
After thinking about it for a bit, he realized that the problem was with the size of Lady Xilin’s old residence.
The area is simply too large.
Although it certainly doesn’t compare to the duchies and wealthy marquisates in the whole of the Ense Empire,
considering the characteristics of Byron Territory, the size of this forr residence was not what an ordinary noble should own.
At the very least, it’s either a rotating City Lord’s Mansion or a local influential noble family.
The land granted by the Ense Empire is not quite the sa as those of western noble territories in the past life.
Although in theory, the ownership of the land is granted to the enfeoffed nobility, the rights to govern the land remain in the hands of the royal family.
Thus, the actual controllers of Byron Territory are divided into two parts.
The first part is the enfeoffed nobility.
The second part is the rotating nobles sent to govern the City Lord’s Mansion.
To live in such a large castle, Lady Xilin’s husband must be at least among the top three holders of power in Byron Territory.
Just as he was thinking this, he found himself already standing at the door of the reception hall, and he whispered to the housekeeper:
"Is it still too late to cancel the engagent?"
But before the housekeeper could answer, the door to the hall was pushed open.
A young girl, in her pri, said with a bright smile:
"Of course, it’s no problem."
Louis slapped his forehead.
Goodness gracious.
Is the reunion between Lady Xilin and her husband really this intense?
The young man was also shocked by the words of the girl:
"What did you say?"
Xilin said softly:
"I said, I can cancel the engagent with you."
"But... as a condition of exchange, I would like to live on your land for 10 months."
Louis was stunned.
Was Lady Xilin’s husband the lord of Byron Territory?
How could that be?
Every lord of a territory is recorded within the royal family.
Given the size of Byron Territory, the owner of land tenure must undoubtedly be a marquis.
This is already the upper echelon of the noble hierarchy in the empire.
One of the less than 20 great nobles nationwide.
But the problem is, from what he previously understood, Lady Xilin’s husband was a noble unknown to most.
More often, he was just a background figure in the life of this once-in-a-millennium genius.
Most people assud he was a lower-ranked noble, perhaps even a landless noble.
Never in the related reports had he heard that Lady Xilin’s husband was such an important figure.
Things seed off.
Very off.
This could only an one thing: the young man’s information was being deliberately controlled.
The only entity capable of doing such a thing is the royal family.
At this point, the young man seed to be stunned by Xilin’s words too:
"Ma’am, are you crazy?"
"I’m not crazy." Xilin blinked playfully, "Also, I don’t necessarily want to stay in the Lord’s mansion. I wouldn’t mind any house in the territory, even if it’s in a corner."
She hurriedly took out a piece of paper from her bag and said:
"I also brought along the marriage annulnt agreent for you to have a look at."
The young man gave Xilin a few more scrutinizing glances and said:
"Has the Count’s Mansion encountered so difficulty recently?"
Xilin displayed a puzzled expression.
The young man said: "Looking at your current attire, it’s hard to tell you’re a lady from the Count’s family. Where are your other belongings?"
Xilin said dazedly:
"Ah, it’s not like what you’re thinking... I was worried about going out alone and running into accidents on the way coming to Byron Territory, so I dressed like this."
The young man was already showing a look of pain:
"You’re traveling far and not taking anyone with you? You’re not a professional, aren’t you worried about accidents on the way?"
The girl giggled foolishly.
The young man slapped his forehead and said:
"First tell , when did you start your journey?"
