Windbreak castle.


    Looking at the bachelor who came to report, pace got up and asked excitedly, "did someone send someone to inform my father?"


    "Of course," said the young scholar respectfully, "before I came here, master Boan had gone to tell the Duke. It must have been known by the Duke."


    "OK, OK."


    Holding his fists, pace looked excited and happy.


    "Eugenie," he looked at his sister across the desk, "come on, let''s go to our father. We must discuss such an important matter! We''d better reclaim all the land that needs to be cultivated before spring! You don''t know that we still need --"


    "-- fat land," Eugenie added helplessly, with a black chess piece in her hand.


    "Uh... I said?"


    You said it at least five or six times! With a white glance at pace, Eugenie turned her head and looked at the bachelor aside: "why should Lingfeng Castle wait until the end of winter instead of sending someone here now?"


    The bachelor immediately replied, "it may take some time to prepare, or it may be because the river collar is in short supply in winter. I don''t know about this."


    The young bachelor heard a trace of dissatisfaction in Eugenie''s tone and guessed that it was probably because his arrival disturbed the leisure time of brother and sister playing chess.


    Eugenie stayed with her brother all day since pace returned to the castle. The happy appearance of chatting is something many people in the castle have never seen before.


    However, the cheerful Miss Eugenie also had some changes in her temperament. It''s not how bad it has become. In the eyes of the servants, guards and scholars of the castle, Miss Eugenie was a standard noble lady, elegant, beautiful and generous, kind and tolerant. She was hardly dissatisfied with anyone, even the slaves in the castle.


    Now, the servants and guards in the castle can hear her quarreling with her brother and her angry and dissatisfied appearance almost every day.


    Fortunately, we are not afraid of and hate her, but more like and willing to get close.


    "Lack of people?" put the pieces in her hand into the chess box, and Eugenie frowned. "He doesn''t have an army. What''s his name... The first army? Yes, it''s the first army. Why, can Warcraft rush into the river without these more than a dozen farmers?"


    "This... I don''t know," said the young bachelor. "There''s nothing wrong with more people. After all, it''s Warcraft."


    "Hey, as long as Lord Arthur agrees, it''s nothing to be late." looking at Eugenie, pace smiled and said, "we can just take advantage of this winter to measure and reclaim the land we need."


    "Idiot pace, how could it be so simple?" Eugenie said with her beautiful eyes turned.


    "Hey, that''s not the word a lady should use!" pace replied. "I said that the adult is a kind man. Besides, we paid Lingfeng castle. What doubt can we have? Shanghe collar is really short of hands."


    "You and he are friends, but not necessarily with the count of Lingfeng castle." Eugenie got up from her chair, waved back the maid who was going to tidy up her skirt, looked at the puzzled pace and said, "come on, go to her father. I bet the person who can think of this game will not be a simple guy, at least much smarter than you."


    "It''s just a chess game," pace whispered, staring at the chessboard on the table. He taught Eugenie this go game. At first, he could win every game, but he didn''t expect that only two days later, he would never win his sister again.


    He stepped up to Eugenie and said, "what''s the bet? Don''t try to fool around with coquetry if you lose. I won''t spoil you like my father."


    "Cut, just wait and lead the horse for me." Eugenie raised her head and said proudly, "let''s go hunting in the forest, and then camp and have a picnic by the river."


    Accompanied by the maid and the guard, the brother and sister walked through the stone stairs of the corridor of the castle and came to the outside of the Council hall in the center of the castle.


    Pace followed his mercenary brother, axe and little man. At pace''s insistence, the Duke finally compromised and let them wear the armor of the kewilt family and become the full-time escort of pace.


    However, the Duke did not canonize them, so they could not be regarded as knights of the kewilt family.


    Eugenie commented on the Duke''s acquiescence and non recognition as "the Duke''s last Majesty in front of his wayward son".


    Although they were not knights, the axe and the little man didn''t mind. Except for a few people, no one dared to see them clearly. On the contrary, they are very popular.


    When there was still a short distance from the Council hall, the brother and sister stopped laughing.


    "Father." Eugenie walked with a relaxed step and a smile to the Duke who discussed with the bachelor.


    "My baby Eugenie, come on, come on!"


    As soon as he saw his daughter, the Duke waved and took her to sit beside him. As for pace on one side, the Duke seemed not to see it.


    "Father, why don''t I do it first." Eugenie said, looking at the Bachelor of Boan in front of her. "After you have discussed with master Boan, I''ll pinch your shoulder again. You must be tired this morning."


    "Look," said the Duke happily to the old bachelor in front of him, "it''s still my baby. Eugenie knows that she loves me, unlike some people..."


    With that, he glanced at pace, who was standing still.


    The old bachelor smiled and nodded to Eugenie next to the Duke, but did not answer. He has served in fengxibao for nearly 20 years. Whether pace or Eugenie, he almost watched them grow up little by little.


    "You go down first," said the Duke, smiling at the opposite bachelor Boan, holding his daughter.


    "Yes, my Lord."


    The bachelor replied in a low voice. After nodding slightly to pace, he turned and left from the small door on the side of the conference hall.


    When the bachelor left, Eugenie quickly got up and walked around the back of the seat. While holding her shoulder for the Duke, she asked under the sign of pace''s eyes: "father, in addition to the gold coins we promised, the count Arthur must have made other requirements, right?"


    With that, she turned to her side, looked at her father who was enjoying his life with his eyes closed, and waited for the answer she wanted.


    "Ask?" the Duke didn''t even open his eyes. "Oh, you mean the tutela boy. What else can he ask, but let him send someone."


    Hearing the speech, Eugenie was slightly stunned, and her hands pinching her shoulders stopped, while pace, standing aside, immediately showed a smile.


    "Hmm?" the Duke opened his eyes, looked at the brother and sister with strange eyes, turned his head and asked, "why, what''s the problem?"


    "He, how could he miss such a good opportunity and not ask at all."


    "He took my gold coin, which is not good?" the Duke looked at his baby daughter puzzled.


    Pace also looked at Eugenie and said proudly, "Hey, I told you earlier. Now you should admit defeat."


    Looking at the brothers and sisters, the Duke thought a little and immediately changed his mouth: "I remembered that the boy did say something else in the letter except gold coins."
