Time slowly flowed by.
The originally bright, sunny weather also began to grow colder and colder.
It was different from the Karim Continent a thousand years later.
A thousand years ago, the continent's climate was still within the normal range.
Although it did not have four seasons like spring, summer, autumn, and winter the way Blue Star did, it still had its own seasonal rhythm.
Over at the Imperial Capital, after receiving the heir submitted by Lan Qingyou, they were also slightly surprised.
After all, no one had expected that this high-ranking noble, who had only recently become a marquis, would actually hand her Noble Rank, Territory, and Knights Order over to a little girl who was only ten years old.

However, this matter of appointing an heir did not have much to do with them.
As long as it was not some plot of an underling overthrowing their superior, the noble Council usually would not interfere in the internal affairs of another family.
