Over the years, countless Silver Moon Family have risen and fallen in Castleton City, but the Swynborne Family has never fallen out of the top three in Castleton City.

Even the once-powerful Ellington Family in Castleton City had declined to the point where only one of their oldest manors remained.

In the last two centuries, with the rise of new talents in the Ellington Family, there have been signs of a resurgence for the Ellington Family.

The Swynborne Family, however, has never declined.

Historically, the heirs of the Swynborne Family have always held military power in the Seventeenth Legion Seventeenth Legion, serving as its commander. This is because the Seventeenth Legion was formerly the Swynborne Family's Lord's Army.

The Swynborne Family now holds a dominant position in Castleton City.

Miss Christine is the youngest daughter of Commander Swynborne and is currently studying at the Castleton Elf Academy.

Ma Tie Manor is located in a scenic valley on the western outskirts of Castleton City. It is one of three Swynborne Family estates near Castleton City.

The valley is almost treeless, and the hillsides are covered with Silver Clover. All the grass leaves have a silver edge, which is the favorite pasture of the Silver Pegasus. The Horse Iron Valley is also the only pasture near Castleton City where Silver Pegasus are raised.

Roy and Sabrina had intended to rent a carriage, but Miss Christine had already sent one to wait at their doorstep.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Goddess of Freedom Temple by carriage, picked up Woods who was waiting at the entrance, and the carriage carried the three of them away from Castleton City. After traveling dozens of kilometers along the Mountain Road, the dense forest in front of them suddenly disappeared at a mountain pass, and what came into view was a narrow valley.

The pasture grass here has silver edges, and the warhorses raised here have wings...

Roy had lived in Castleton City for so long, yet he had no idea that there was such a beautiful ranch on the Castleton City.

Hundreds of pure Silver Pegasus grazed on the hillside, looking like a white cloud from afar.

Following the only road through the valley, the carriage arrived smoothly at a manor.

The manor is a stone building without any surrounding walls, blending seamlessly into the beautiful meadow.

Roy jumped off the carriage and discovered that dozens of magnificent carriages were parked there. The manor was a very artistic garden, consisting of more than a dozen buildings connected by corridors or waterways.

From the main gate of the manor, Roy saw rows of orange and apple trees, and the exterior of the buildings was decorated with Stone Sculpture and a few bronze statues.

The lawns and shrub walls in the manor were kept neatly by the gardener, with almost no exposed soil.

There was a quiet path leading to the entrance. Only when Roy arrived here did he truly see what a real elf manor should look like. The architecture here blended perfectly with nature. Roy even wished he could sit on the lawn by the river and have afternoon tea.

"This place is so beautiful..." Sabrina exclaimed, standing next to Roy.

Woods was also excited. He nudged Roy with his elbow and whispered to him, "I never imagined Miss Christine's family was so rich. They're actually a Silver Moon Elf!"

Upon entering the manor, a butler and four servants greeted us.

Although the butler appeared very gentle, his gaze... seemed to be able to see through the true identities of the guests at a glance.

Roy and Sabrina felt as if a cold, venomous snake had crawled over them when he stared at them, but the strange feeling was only for a moment. Then the butler's face immediately turned into a warm smile as he looked at Roy.

Roy handed the three invitations to the butler, who didn't even look at them, his smile becoming even more friendly.

"Please follow me, my three guests. Miss Christine has been waiting for quite some time."

After the butler finished speaking, he led the three into the manor, leaving four waiters at the entrance to greet the other guests.

Roy, Sabrina, and Woods arrived at the Ma Tie Manor around 10 a. m. Upon entering the estate, Roy discovered that the garden design was even more unique, with pools and fountains everywhere.

You can also see some Silver Moon Elf girls setting up chairs on the grass, which is probably the venue for the ball that night.

Not far away, there was a row of stables with white horses in the enclosure. Although these white horses did not have wings, they had some flight feathers on their four hooves.

These are all offspring of Silver Pegasus, not purebred Silver Pegasus...

These warhorses were all naturally magnificent. They trotted proudly in their enclosure, attracting many young elves to watch.

It is said that only pure-hearted Silver Moon Elf can gain the approval of the Silver Pegasus, and these white warhorses also have extremely proud personalities...

The butler led Roy, Sabrina, and Woods into a quiet little detached house. The first floor was a living room, the second floor had four bedrooms, and there were two terraces in the southeast and northwest corners, from which one could enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the Mathey Valley.

"The three of you will rest here tonight. Please feel free to use the guest rooms upstairs. If you need anything, please call the doorman. Lunch is in an hour and a half. I will send a waiter to invite you then. Miss Christine will be here shortly after. She is currently attending to another guest."

The butler showed the three of them around the various rooms of the building, and then left a servant outside the door before hurriedly departing.

"So this is what life is like for Elven Nobles..."

Woods sighed, then lazily lay down on the sofa.

"Such noble families are extremely rare, even in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom," Sabrina said to Woods.

Roy walked into the kitchen and found that the fruit basket was almost full of all kinds of fruit. In addition to fruit, there were whole bottles of honey, whole boxes of Elf Biscuit, and even candied fruit.

Roy even saw the Tree of Life Sap in a glass bottle...

I picked out some candied fruit and brewed a pot of Lemon Tea, then brought it to the living room.

Woods stood by the windowsill, intently examining the window frame sprouting green leaves. Roy, curious, leaned over and asked Woods:

"What is this... how can branches and leaves grow from a window frame?"

Woods stared at the leaves, his eyes gradually brightening, and said, "This window frame must have been transplanted with a parasitic plant. The entire window frame is currently alive... It's truly a very strange idea."

"Perhaps one day, these branches and leaves will blossom and bear fruit," Sabrina said from the side.

Woods shook his head and said nothing more.
