(The writing went smoothly today.)
Inside a beautifully constructed manor, a group of guards was waiting outside.
Today is the day when Baron Narros welcomes a distinguished guest, Lady Adele Isabella, who has returned from Arendelle and is invited to spend a day here. The Isabella family absolutely dominates the area near the Spearwind Hills, where two barons also possess Queen Isabella’s bloodline and a viscount manages a large territory in the Spearwind Hills. Recently, many nobles have connected to the Arendelle trade route through Lady Adele Isabella, and it is said that they can make considerable profits once the fleet returns.
Baron Narros’s territory is comparatively barren.
Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is not much land available for cultivation, so he also plans to invest in some maritime trade today.
Of course.
He has deeper thoughts, should the opportunity arise.
“Baron.”
A middle-aged man in a butler’s outfit approached Baron Narros and whispered, “Lady Adele Isabella has gone out hunting with her attendants.”
“All the personnel you needed to arrange are in place.”
Baron Narros is a cold-looking middle-aged man, looking very handsome, but his face has an indescribably strange quality; upon closer inspection, his eyes are as cold as a snake, and his facial features are overly sharp.
“Very well.”
Baron Narros nodded slightly and said slowly, “Has Ulrika returned?”
“How did she get involved with the Church of Fear? Those Fear Worshippers are troublesome; we cannot get too close to them.”
Serpent people have long been mingled among humans.
Many of them live in remote areas under the guise of minor nobility, and most of today’s serpent people are half-bloods, making them difficult to distinguish visually.
Even if some know, both sides step back.
“She should not have returned yet.” The middle-aged butler shook his head and said, “My lord, I suggest we deal with her. Since the last mission failed, many people have already expressed their dissatisfaction with her.”
Baron Narros’s expression hesitated.
The hesitation comes from the fact that Ulrika is actually his illegitimate daughter, and serpent people can not only reproduce with other serpent people but also with humans, so many half-serpent people are born this way.
Pure-blood serpent people lay eggs.
However, half-blood serpent people give live birth.
Baron Narros does not have much affection for this daughter. But in any case, she is still his daughter, and he does not want to see her face severe punishment.
Cold-blooded animals also have a thin thread of familial ties.
“I understand.”
After pondering for a moment, Baron Narros waved his hand and said, “When she returns, just lock her up.”
“Don’t torture her.”
The middle-aged butler nodded slightly and said, “Yes, my lord.”
Baron Narros turned to look out the window and said slowly, “The focus should still be on that Lady Adele Isabella; she plays an important role in the expansion of our family.”
“Understood.” The middle-aged butler nodded and took his leave.

Outside a dense forest.
Adele Isabella had changed into another outfit, riding on a group of black steeds. On the surface, she was out hunting with her attendants, but in reality, she was observing the environment of this territory. The Spearwind Hills is key to Lord Soren’s plans. It can directly connect to overseas shipwrecks and is very close to the inland regions. She knows a bit about the rumors surrounding Baron Narros; this is a family with serpent blood.
They are obstacles that need to be cleaned up.
In just a few months, Adele Isabella has already established her own reputation in the southern region. Secret operations are also in progress, and now it is just a matter of waiting for the right opportunity.
“Let’s stop here.”
Adele Isabella gently waved her hand and said, “Let’s head back to the manor; have the people below stay alert. This Baron Narros seems to have ulterior motives.”
However.
At that moment, a sudden shout from the guards came from ahead.
“Who goes there?”
A tall figure walked out from the woods. Adele Isabella glanced over and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
It was a woman who looked rather glamorous.
For some reason, looking at her made Adele Isabella feel uncomfortable, as if she were facing Baron Narros.
But.
At that moment, a little girl in a black princess dress, resembling a fallen angel, walked out behind the woman. Upon seeing her appearance, Adele Isabella suddenly trembled all over, directly jumping down from her horse and kneeling on one knee towards the little girl, saying, “Young Lady!?”
“How did you end up here?”
Immediately following Adele Isabella, her bodyguards also knelt on one knee, their expressions filled with surprise, “Young Lady!?”
“Young Lady?!”
The little princess known throughout Modo City, the beloved of Lord Soren, Princess Vivian.
These selected individuals for the mission are all skilled, and many of them are high-level professionals; how could they not have heard of Vivian’s name.
She is truly a treasure of Modo City!
“Eh?”
Vivian slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and tilted her head to glance at Adele Isabella, looking a bit surprised, “Oh, it’s you. Your hair has changed color.”
“How did you all end up here?”
Brother’s subordinates.
There are some among them that she recognizes; the little girl has a great memory, and their appearance here is likely related to her brother’s plans.
But.
She also has her own plans.
“Alright.”
The little girl lightly clapped her small, pale hands and said slowly, “Since you are here, I need to conquer this land. If you help, it should be much easier.”
The others present looked at each other.
Adele Isabella’s expression was somewhat stiff, but she still mustered the courage to say, “Conquer here?”
What is the Young Lady planning to do?
Vivian cast a glance at the glamorous woman beside her, her lips curling into a wicked smile as she said sweetly, “The lord here is a serpent person; they are somewhat useful to me.”
“Well.”
“This woman is my servant; she is the lord’s illegitimate daughter.”
“We’ll take out the lord, and then have her control those serpent people. It’s a very simple matter.”
The lips of the others present twitched slightly.
Adele Isabella’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, cautiously saying, “Lady Vivian! I’m afraid it won’t be that simple; many of them might not be willing to obey you.”
Clap, clap.
The little girl gently clapped her white hands and chuckled, “I know.”
“But I don’t have time to waste here, so those who are unwilling to obey me might as well die.”
In the bright sunlight.
For some reason, a chill suddenly surged in the hearts of the others present.
They suddenly thought of Lord Soren, the true god of death, and the preconceived notion that they believed Vivian was just a little girl, but they forgot that she is also Lord Soren’s real sister.
This could very well be a god of death level figure!
