492 Chapter 368: Why Did You Give Violet Manor to the Lord of the Grace Mainland? [1/2]
Onyx’s shock was even less than Windsor’s.
He believed it without reservations when he heard Peim say Richard was Qingqiu.
He would be more satisfied if the other party were Qingqiu with the magical nature of Twilight City.
He had a feeling that this was how it should be.
He was Lord Richard, the strongest of all the grace mainland overlords. Wasn’t that normal?
He turned to look at Windsor, who was still in a daze, and a sense of honor rose in his heart.
Even the Great Lord Peim acknowledged Lord Richard in such a short time. As expected, his eyes were still as good as ever.
A complicated look appeared in her eyes when Windsor returned to her senses.
No wonder Rebecca gave the Violet Manor to him. If the other party were Qingqiu, everything would make sense…
Investing in a grace mainland overlord with unlimited potential was a wise investment.
She did not know about Richard’s relationship with Qingqiu when Rebecca decided about this.
She could only attribute it to the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke’s keen eyes.
At this moment, Rebecca, who had the victory gem in her hands, had already obtained the best benefits.
Windsor slowly said while she suppressed the subtle emotions in her heart.
“Teacher, did you give Lord Richard the mission to explore the temple?”
Peim said disapprovingly.
“I’ve already given out quests to dozens of grace mainland overlords. It doesn’t matter if he’s one more or one less…”
Windsor’s heart ached a little as she looked at the old man. His personality was the same as always.
“Teacher, you’ll be fine. I’m sure Lord Richard will create a miracle… He is Qing Qiu.”
Thanks to his glorious status, Richard’s experience in the two dungeons had spread far and wide.
The trust was naturally different from usual after she knew his glorious status.
It was not something Onyx’s hymn could compare to.
Memories engulfed Peim’s eyes.
“I’ve lived long enough…
“In the past ten years, countless failures have prepared me for the final outcome.”
He looked at Windsor with antic.i.p.ation as he spoke.
“I’ll leave the Crimson Moon to you if no one succeeds after three months…
“I’ve spent so much time and effort to build this force. And it carries my ultimate dream. I don’t want it to decline just like that.”
“With your abilities, you could give the Crimson Moon a new life, Windsor.
“Solan City is still too small. It has confined you.
“The whole world is your stage.”
A mysterious figure in a black cloak slowly appeared behind Peim the moment he finished.
Onyx and Windsor’s expressions remained the same. It was like they knew this.
The figure hidden under the hood whispered with an unknown meaning.
“Chairman Windsor, it’s not just Lord Peim’s idea to hand the Crimson Moon over to you. It’s also the unanimous opinion of the elders.
“Other than Lord Peim, only you are qualified to lead the Crimson Moon.”
Windsor fixed her gaze on them. And she didn’t speak for a long time…
——
A carriage with a n.o.ble’s coat of arms headed toward Violet Manor.
When the soldiers patrolling the streets saw the striking coat of arms of the n.o.bles, no matter what they were doing, they would immediately stop and salute with their five fingers clenched to their chest.
In the sky, several squadrons of flying horse riders patrolled directly above the carriage. They constantly kept an eye on the movements below.
It was all because the carriage belonged to the only son of Grand Duke Solan, Chris Solan.
He was the most distinguished person in Solan City.
The other party’s movements would always be under the strictest protection at all times.
In the carriage, Christy looked out the window and mumbled,”
“Jasmine, why do you think Rebecca gave the Violet Manor to the Lord of the Grace Mainland? Did she get tricked?”
The maid at the side shook her head.
“Your Highness, there must be a reason for Lady Rebecca to do this. I believe something special about that Lord of the Grace Mainland.”
Christy didn’t believe it.
“Rebecca is the Grand Duke’s eldest daughter. How can that Lord of Grace Mainland compare to the descendants of the high n.o.bles of the Ice Empire? I’ve never seen Rebecca gift anyone a manor!”
“This matter is a little strange… I was the one who helped her decorate that manor.”
The maid didn’t say anything. She couldn’t, even if Christy could.
The carriage soon arrived at the Violet Manor.
Christy rushed in and went straight to the main hall.
He turned his head around and didn’t find the Lord of Grace Mainland, so he walked over to Rebecca’s side and sat down.
He glared at her in dissatisfaction.
“Why didn’t you come and find me when you returned?!”
Rebecca smiled and reached out to hold her arm.
“Well. I didn’t make it in time. I had a full day off yesterday, and then I went to the Black Market with Lord Richard today…”
It would have been fine if she did not mention Richard, but the mention of his name made her furious.
“Sister Windsor said you wanted to give Violet Manor to the Lord of the Grace Mainland? ”
Rebecca nodded as if it was a matter of course.
“Yeah.”
She looked at Christy in confusion after she said that.
“Is there a problem?”
The other party had even given her a treasure like the victory gem. It was just a manor. How could it compare to the victory gem that could summon the G.o.ddess?
A sweet smile appeared on her face as she thought about Richard’s unhesitating actions. It felt great to be trusted.
And it was Lord Richard…
