Chapter 35 Provocation
The carriage drove for a long time in the wind and snow, and finally stopped at the gate of a big house on the most prosperous central street in the imperial capital.Because Bai Lai occupies a high position, it is naturally impossible to live in his own territory. This mansion is just a reward from His Majesty the King.The Bailai family lived in the imperial capital just to make the king feel at ease.

Under the night, the lights on both sides of the street were turned on. At this time, a thick layer of snow had piled up on the ground, shining brightly under the light, like daytime.

Residents of the Snoll Empire may have already gotten used to the days when heavy snow hits the branches every day, and everyone is busy with their own affairs.The taverns on both sides of the street are still open for business, people are coming and going, the noise is endless, and it looks very lively.

Caroline had never been to the imperial capital of Arrante, so she looked around curiously after getting off the carriage.Being in a foreign country, with a different style, made her feel much better, and she was no longer depressed because of her inability to treat the housekeeper.

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the tavern, Caroline felt that the king of the Snoll Empire must be a wise king.Even if the environment in the empire is very harsh, if the residents still have smiles on their faces, it means that they are living a good life.

"You're home, come in quickly, Caroline. Aunt Sina will take you out after the snow stops tomorrow." Sina said gently holding Caroline's arm as she walked towards the mansion.I remember being so curious when I first got married.But at that time, I didn't have much foundation, and I didn't go shopping well. Now that I have power and power, I have a group of servants behind me every time I go out, so I don't have much interest in shopping.

"Then trouble Aunt Sina." Caroline replied obediently, letting Sina drag her into the mansion.Looking up at the plaque on the gate of the mansion, I saw the big characters written on the plaque—— Zuoxiangfu.The lower right corner of the plaque is also stamped with the great seal of the king.At a glance, people can understand how much Zuoxiang's mansion is favored by the king.

The corners of Caroline's mouth were lightly raised, thinking: It seems that my cheap uncle is really good, but this is also good, at least after I leave, my father can stay here with peace of mind.But a companion is like a tiger, do you want to leave some means of saving Aunt Xi Na's life?
Entering the gate, a silver-clad garden unfolds in front of everyone.There are many trees of different heights planted in the flower bed, the branches are covered with snow, and some trees are hung with lights of different colors, swaying in the dark night, which looks special.

On both sides of the garden, there is a row of houses. The lights are on inside the house, and people's figures flash past from time to time.

"On the left is the usual meeting place, and it is also the residence of the members of the airship." Seeing Earl Flory and Caroline looking over, Bai Lai hurriedly introduced: "Because of the wind and snow, sometimes they come back I can live there directly in the evening, and save myself running back and forth on this freezing day. On the right is the servants’ living quarters and the kitchen.”

Through the garden, a long corridor runs through the house, and then the inner courtyard of the mansion.There are some trees and flowers in the inner courtyard that can survive even in snowy weather. When you walk in suddenly, you will feel a comfortable and warm feeling.What is strange is that there is not even a single snowflake in the inner courtyard.

Sensing the existence of the fire element in the air, Caroline couldn't help but look sideways. It seemed that she was right. Aunt Sina or Uncle Bailey did have some connection with the magician.But I don't know if it's from their empire or privately. If it's from the empire, it's really troublesome. I don't think I can get the information I want without some blood.

But Caroline was wrong about this point. She underestimated the status of magicians. In the eyes of high-level magicians, if they wanted to, subverting an empire would not be a problem at all.

Xi Na has been observing Caroline secretly, and she can't help but feel a little happy when she seems to have a feeling for her inner house.If there is a magician in my family, it will be of great help to both Bailey and Earl Flory.Even if the two have no rebellious heart and there is a magician, no one will think of them.

Thinking of this, Xi Na couldn't help but smiled bitterly, thinking that in order to protect herself, her father married her to this icy and snowy place. If he had known that there would be a magician in the family, he would not have let her brother be in such a situation. If you fight for the throne, you won't be plotted to death in the end.It's a pity that it's too late to say this now, after all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and time will not turn back.Those who are alive should live better, so that the dead will feel at ease.

Sitting in the living room, Caroline looked around curiously. She has been in this world for a long time, and she has never seen such a big house except the old castle, so she is very curious about what kind of furnishings it is.After observing for a long time, Caroline stopped with some disappointment. Except that the house is different, the built-in furnishings are similar to those of the old castle.It is nothing more than some sofa leather chairs made of snow fox fur to keep warm, and then some silver utensils.The only fruit on the table is apples.

It seems that not only the Alante Empire is short of resources in this world, but other empires are also similar.If this is the case, it seems that I will have a good time in this world, but I don’t know what the situation in Olmec is like. Caroline touched the ring on her hand and thought, smiling in an incomprehensible way.

"My lord, it's time to dine." A good-looking maid in a leather coat walked to the door and said with a bad look, abruptly interrupting the conversation between Bai Lai and Earl Flory.After finishing speaking, he looked up at Bailai Zuoxiang, smiled with a little charm in his eyes, then turned and left.

Bailey glanced at the back of the maid with some unkindness, then smiled at Earl Flory and said, "I made the Earl laugh, these servants don't understand the rules. I believe the Earl is already hungry all the way here, everyone first Let's eat together, let's talk about it when we are full. And the days are still long, why rush for a while."

"Yes, brother, let's eat first." Xi Na smiled gently, but her eyes were shining coldly.I usually see them are very well-behaved, but I never thought that they would dare to put eye drops on Bai Lai and herself in front of her brother. Although Xi Na has a good temper, she is not without temper.He is just a dispensable slut, how dare he seduce Bai Lai in front of his elder brother, and provoke Bai Lai's relationship with himself.It seems that it is time to clean up the inner courtyard, otherwise it will be out of control if you are ambitious.

Count Flory looked at Bai Lai, then at the maid who was leaving outside the door, smiled and said: "I ate some fruit on the way, if you don't tell me, you really forget that you are hungry. Well, let's eat first and eat well." Take a break, let's talk about something later."

For women, Earl Flory didn't have any feelings of pity. He also understood some of the things that this short-sighted woman did in front of him.If it wasn't for Bai Lai's care for his sister all the way, he might have been fooled.But who is going to plot against him? This is his first time here.Count Flory sneered secretly in his heart, and brought Caroline and Sina to the restaurant together.

At this time, the table was already full of food. Although there were few types of food, looking at the few plates of green vegetables on the table, one knew how rich the meal was.After all, the Snoll Empire is dominated by wind and snow, and it is impossible to grow vegetables and fruits. Except for some common meat, everyone rarely eats vegetables.

Under the guidance of Sina, Caroline walked beside Sina but did not sit down.Knowing that women in this world cannot casually eat at the table, let alone outside, Caroline looked at Earl Flory, waiting for him to speak.People know that the earl dotes on her at home, and she can't lose face for the earl outside.

"Sit down, it's like being at home with your Aunt Sina, there are not so many etiquettes." Earl Flory nodded and said when his daughter looked at him.Even though Caroline is a daughter, Earl Flory has always held her in his palm and pampered her. What's more, now that Caroline has an unusual status, she has the ability to sit at the table and eat.

Because I was a guest at someone else’s house, everyone had to wait for the host to start the meal. Seeing Caroline sitting down, Bai Lai smiled at Qianna, and then cut the steak in front of him to serve everyone. Thinking: This Earl Flory is really different from ordinary people. He doted on Xi Na back then, but now he dotes on Caroline.

Looking at the meals on the table without interest, Caroline missed her wild vegetable beef noodles and various fruits.However, in order not to affect the appetite of Aunt Sina's family, Caroline could only eat the steak on the plate in small bites.When everyone finished their meals, there was still more than half of the steak on Caroline's plate.

"Caroline, is it not delicious? Do you want the servant to make a new one?" Xi Na asked with concern, thinking to herself: No wonder she is so thin and small. It turns out that it is a problem of not eating well, which is not good. I want to have a good talk with my brother, how can a girl marry a good family in the future if her development is not good.

Knowing that his daughter was a picky eater, Earl Flory didn't care too much. Seeing what Sina said, he said: "Sina, don't worry about her, she won't be hungry."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xi Na was not happy. After all, she was her niece. How could a big man like her brother understand girls, so she said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, how can you say that? How can you develop well if you don’t eat more meat, don’t you want her to marry?”

"Uh... this..." Count Flory looked at Caroline awkwardly, wondering if he should tell the truth.

Caroline couldn't help smiling when she saw her father's deflated look, and then thought to herself, since she had to rely on Bai Lai, and Aunt Sina had such a good relationship with her father, it wouldn't be a big deal to reveal a little bit, and immediately defended her father Said: "Aunt Xi Na, it's not what you think. I just can't get used to these things, but I won't starve myself."

After finishing speaking, Su Su waved his hand, and a handful of bananas and a piece of jerky appeared on the dining table.

Caroline's move scared Qiana and Bai Lai, and they looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what to say.What happened just now has gone against their cognition, and the two of them still can't digest it for a while.Although they have also come into contact with a magician, it is impossible for him to conjure something out of thin air, let alone something he has never seen before.

Caroline shrugged helplessly, and ate the banana on her own, waiting for the two to recover.Now, it's time for her to ask something serious.
