The three of them chattered about their parents in front of Sula's tomb, and before they knew it, a few hours had passed, and it was already late at night, and it was time to go back and rest.

When they came to the Dragon's Tomb, they flew here, and when they left, they were leisurely, and they left the mountain road with talk and laughter all the way, and the three of them walked in front, and the night was like a giant pet dog, walking on two feet, snorting and following behind.

It was already the middle of the night when the three of them returned to the Governor's Mansion in Cold Valley, and the snow was howling in the middle of the night, empty and lonely, except for the guards on duty in the watchtower, there was no one to see.

It seems that Perseus and Catherine are very relieved of Lorna, and Solandel has not returned from a trip with her in the middle of the night, and the two of them are not in a hurry, as if they have completely entrusted their daughter to her.

Because the host and the guest's residence were not together, the three of them said goodbye at the door of the mansion, and Lorna walked towards her residence, while Solandel and Chino walked towards the guest mansion.

The Dragon's Tomb is outside the valley and is affected by the warm climate of the south, where the temperature is relatively mild, while the cold valley is inside the valley, facing the cold winds from the north, and the temperature is extremely low.

Solandelle wore a very thick coat, wrapped up in a pair of blue eyes outside, bloated like a dwarf, but still felt cold, and walked next to Chino... Although through the thick clothes, this action seems to make little sense.

Solandale was next to Chino, walking and walking, and his little head suddenly hit Chino's waist, and he subconsciously stopped with him.

She looked up and saw Chino standing silently like a statue, his face slightly sideways, staring blankly at the wind and snow.

She followed Chino's line of sight, and at first saw nothing, but soon, a huge black shadow faded into the snow, and a terrible sense of oppression followed.

Solandale quietly ducked behind Chino and let go of his grip on his sleeve to keep himself in the way, carefully watching the comer.

When the black shadow stepped out of the snow curtain and revealed its true face, Solandale secretly breathed a sigh of relief and greeted politely, "Good evening, Lord Edward." ”

"Your Highness Princess, it's not just 'night' now." Edward's gaze swept back and forth over the two of them, and quipped, "You two came back so late, are you going out for a tryst?" ”

"You're mistaken, we—" Solandelle was about to say that they had gone to the Dragon's Grave, but felt that she shouldn't tell about it, so she made up a lie, "Chino and I just went to the town outside of Cold Valley, where there is a beautiful lantern festival. ”

"There's a lantern festival in the Dragon's Tomb too?" Edward smiled and directly punctured Solandelle's lies.

Solandelle's expression froze, her lie was exposed, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Little princess." At this time, Chino suddenly spoke, he gently took Solandelle's hand and asked, "Are you sleepy at such a late hour?" ”

Solandale reacted quickly, knowing that it was Chino who was delivering the message, she bowed slightly to Edward and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Edward, I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back and rest first." ”

Before the two of them could take a few steps, Edward's voice came from behind: "I have prepared a supper for the two of you, do you want to eat and sleep?" ”

Chino turned around, and the smile on his face was like a mask: "Okay, when I send her back to the bedroom to rest, I will eat with you until dawn." ”

"Hahaha, no problem." Edward stroked the snow off his sleeve and smiled casually, "Then what we will talk about Lorna later, you can slowly tell Her Royal Highness the princess later." ”

When Solandale heard this, his footsteps stopped directly, and he turned his head and frowned at Edward.

Edward knew what it meant to stop, and without saying a word, he made a "please" gesture to his residence, and then took the lead.

...

Outside, the wind was cold and snowy, but the inside of the house was already burned by a fireplace full of firewood, and when you opened the door, you could feel the warm air rushing in your face, forming a strong air flow in the extreme temperature difference with the outside of the house.

Chino and Solandelle were seated, and Edward was the last to enter, his huge body dressed in snow felt, looking like a fluffy bear, shaking off his coat into patches of frost and snow with a casual shake, and the sound of some liquid dripping on the floor, which was melted by the indoor temperature.

Edward walked slowly into the house, first adding some wood to the fireplace to make it burn more vigorously, and then bringing some of the snacks that had already been heated out of the oven.

I have to say that the Edwards are tall and big, and they seem to be rough men, but they are still small-minded, and he serves Solandelle healthy foods such as seasonal vegetable salad and nuts, and cakes and desserts for Chino.

After Edward finished serving the two of them, he got himself some peanuts to satisfy his hunger, then rubbed his hands and asked with a smile, "What to drink?" Wine? Or ginger soup to keep out the cold? ”

Solandale got up and said straightforwardly, "Lord Edward, don't hide anything you have to say, please speak directly." ”

Edward smiled and motioned for Solandel to sit down, and sat down himself, peeling the peanuts on the plate in front of him: "Then let's get straight to the point, Lorna took you to the dragon's tomb and visited the tombstone of the white dragon Sula, right?" ”

"Yes." Edward had already guessed their whereabouts, and there was no point in hiding them, so Solandale had to admit it.

Edward looked at Solandale with a deep meaning in his eyes, "What did she tell you?" ”

Solandale chuckled in her heart, but she still looked at Edward without hesitation, and asked rhetorically as she pretended not to care, "We are good friends with Lorna, we talk about everything, everything." I wonder what Lord Edward is referring to? ”

"Click." Edward bit the peanut in his mouth, like a bear chewing a bone, and his vision was so deep that it seemed to penetrate people's hearts: "Of course I mean about the White Dragon Sula - did Lorna tell you that Sting didn't save him when he saw death, killed Sulla, and the Trojan family rebelled and participated in the coup d'état in the royal city?" ”

Although Solandelle tried to stabilize her mind, she was only a 12-year-old girl after all, and she did not have the deep city of an adult, coupled with Edward's words, she couldn't help but feel in a trance, and her heart was empty for a while, and she didn't know how to answer at all, so she could only subconsciously look at Chino.

However, Chino didn't speak, just silently waiting for Edward's words.

The shadow of the candle flame fluttered on Edward's face, and those beastly eyes seemed to bloom in the darkness, and he leaned forward, the smile on his face slowly faded into a solemn one, and the next words made Solandale freeze in place:

"She's lying, don't believe her."
