Chapter 287 The Third Ring
Salland Manor.
Since the hotel incident, Xia Lan and Pandelia have moved into the most quiet and beautiful manor under Viscount Morrown. They are not unfamiliar with this manor Pandelia, because she has lived here for many years. When she returned to this manor, she suddenly felt a faint nostalgia and sentimentality in her heart.
The butlers and servants who were responsible for managing and caring for the manor were still familiar faces, and even the facilities and decorations in the manor remained the same as when she left. It made her feel like she was going home in a trance. Unfortunately, even if she had been entrusted with others for a long time, this place was not her real home after all.
After checking in for some time, Viscount Moroen has not summoned Pandelia for a long time. The reason is unknown. However, Orlandert always comes to visit Pandelia every now and then. Every time he is followed by Parsaro, the atmosphere will always freeze inexplicably when Perssaro collided with Xialan. Perhaps considering the tense relationship between the two, Pandelia will deliberately choose to let Xialan retreat when Orlandert comes to the door.
Send away from Orlandert to visit again, and return to the warmly decorated study room. When the maid gave exquisite refreshments, Pandillia ordered everyone to leave the study room without any disturbance before allowing it, because there was a man in her study room.
"Did Viscount Morrown still have no plans to summon you?"
Holding the hot tea in his hand, Xia Lan sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace and savored her drink, and said softly to Pandilia, who had just sat down opposite him with a faint expression.
"No, at least not now." Pandillia sat gracefully on the sofa, holding the tea cup on the tea table with her white and slender hands and putting it beside her mouth.
"Olambert and Bessarro also don't know each other. After all, one is his son and the other is his most trusted subordinate. There is no reason why they don't know what Viscount Morrown is thinking." Xia Lan said.
"Maybe they really don't know." Pandillia said with a slightly helpless face: "When I asked them about this, I could tell from their expression that they did not lie to me."
"Is that so? If it's just Orlambert, I can still make your judgment, but Bessaro is different. He is not a person who can easily see through his thoughts, or in other words, if he wants to disguise himself, it will be difficult for me to judge the authenticity of the other person's performance." Xia Lan put down the teacup in her hand expressionlessly and said.
"Indeed." Pandillia nodded slightly, "There are some things he doesn't want to say, and it's hard for anyone to know something from him, even Uncle Moroen is no exception."
When talking about the word "uncle", Pandilia's delicate body suddenly trembled for a moment, and her little head also lowered slightly and shifted away from Xia Lan's gaze.
What is her purpose in coming back to Querofi?
She once told Xia Lan that she would marry her uncle, Viscount Moroen, whom she said, when she came back.
She was once desperate, she had no choice, and Xia Lan's appearance seemed to give her a glimmer of hope. It was this glimmer of hope that made her suddenly have the courage to struggle. But where is the direction of her struggle? Will Xia Lan herself choose to help her? She doesn't know.
In the agreement between her and him, Xia Lan was only responsible for escorting her to successfully arrive at Querofe and could leave, but he did not leave. Maybe he was waiting for Winnie, or maybe he stayed here because of some irresistible factor. No matter what the reason, as long as he continues to stay by his side, her fate will change.
"When will you... leave?" Pandillia finally plucked up the courage to ask.
"I don't know." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Hmm?" Pandilia was stunned for a moment.
"The irresistible factor has not disappeared, and I will not leave until then." Xia Lan explained.
"You should know that the longer you stay in Querofi, the more dangerous your situation will be." Pandillia whispered.
"I know, but I have no choice." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Thank you." Pandillia suddenly said.
"No need." Xia Lan said.
"But I always want to tell you." Pandilia said with a faint smile on her beautiful face.
Xia Lan was silent for a long time, and for a moment, only the sound of firewood burning and bursting in the fireplace could be heard in the study.
"I think what you need to care more about now is yourself."
"Me?" Until Xia Lan spoke and broke the silence, Pandilia's smile suddenly became slightly bitter after hearing this. "What do you think you can do now?"
Yes, what can she do as a weak woman? If she hadn't been wearing the noble identity of the Sisican princess, she would not have fallen to this point. In the eyes of almost all ambitious conspirators, she was a seductive and sweet cake, and no one would have wanted to take her a bite.
"Glorious Temple"
"Advances"
Thinking of these two giants hiding behind Sissinia that seemed to be manipulating everything, her heart couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Who wants to kill her? Who wants to protect her but actually use her?
Being in the center of a whirlwind and stormy vortex, a slight mistake will lead to a crushing fate.
She dared not move, she could not move, she could only accept this fate because she had no power to resist.
Who would be like a prince in a fairy tale who overcomes obstacles and rides through the wind and waves to rescue the princess in distress? No one. Because fairy tales are fairy tales after all, not reality.
She turned her head and looked at Xia Lan in a daze. At this moment, he really wanted to come to rescue his prince in his mind.
Unfortunately, he is not.
She subconsciously denies it.
He is not a prince, because this "prince" will leave in the end, instead of choosing to rescue the princess and living happily together like a fairy tale from now on.
At this time, the sudden knock on the door suddenly interrupted Pandelia's self-pitying and mourning thoughts in her mind. Pandelia, who was in a bad mood, immediately scolded outside the door: "Hasn't I told me not to come and disturb me without permission? You are so brave! How dare you turn my words off?"
"Miss! Please forgive me!"
There was a slam outside the door and a maid kowtowed and begging for mercy.
Pandilia took a deep breath, calmed her anger and said, "Say, what exactly is it that makes you dare to disobey my order and come to disturb me?"
"Miss, the envoy of Lord Viscount is here to visit. He is here to summon you to Blanclin Castle by Lord Viscount's order. It is urgent!" The maid outside the door replied hurriedly.
"What?"
Pandilia was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and soon she returned to normal and said, "Now you go and entertain the envoy of Lord Viscount immediately, and I will go down in a while."
"Yes, Miss!"
After hearing that Pandillia had no intention of blaming her, the maid immediately left and said, as if she was afraid that Pandillia would pursue her.
"Some things can't be avoided in the end, and he is finally willing to see you."
Xia Lan twisted her neck left and right, and said indifferently.
Pandillia shook her head and sighed: "I felt something strange and strange. Why did the Viscount's messenger come as soon as Orlando and the others left?"
"Haha, maybe it's because Lord Viscount doesn't want Orlambert to meet him." Xia Lan chuckled rarely, but there was a hint of unknown meaning in her smile.
"Yeah?"
Pandillia walked to the mirror in front of the dressing table to take care of her makeup and said casually.
"Because Viscount Moroen doesn't want his son to know that he is snatching the same woman with him." Xia Lan said with a cold smile.
"you……"
Suddenly, Pandelia's hand, wearing earrings, froze. She turned her head and looked at Xia Lan, staring at her blue eyes, with some incredible and anger in her eyes.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know, can't you see it? That silly boy, Orlandert, is very infatuated with you. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that his son has also coveted you for a long time..." Xia Lan's smile became more and more evil.
Pandilia tightened the exquisite earrings on her earlobe expressionlessly, closing her eyes to suppress her restlessness, until for a long time, she opened her eyes, but looked out the window.
"Do you know? I have predicted my future destiny from a long time ago."
Pandillia murmured to herself at this moment.
"I could see that Orlambert likes me. Although his personality is a bit domineering and arrogant, unlike his father who is as scheming as the sea, he is actually a very simple person. One day, when the sensitive I began to sense the strong desire flashed in the eyes of the Viscount looking at me, I knew that one day I would become his woman, and I could not escape because I had no ability to change this established real fate... Finally one day, I escaped. What's ridiculous is that now I am back, and I will continue to move on to my own destiny..."
Pandilia turned around and slowly walked towards the door of the study. She didn't even look at Xia Lan. She opened the door and left only one sentence before leaving.
"I have a premonition of the outcome of this meeting."
Xia Lan restrained the smile on her face. He didn't say anything, but just watched Pandelia disappear into her eyes. When the door was closed, he silently walked towards the window.
Of course he understood what Pandelia said. This time, Viscount Morrown would have a complete showdown with Pandelia. Simply put, Pandelia is about to marry Viscount Morrown.
Looking at the carriage carrying Pandillia away outside the window, his eyes suddenly jumped.
