The First Heir

Reed frowned and said with a nod, “Well, Cody Crane was once a famous character with fame no less than the five marquises. He once had the reputation that the world would tremble under his feet.”

‘The world would tremble under his feet?’ Philip frowned.

Reed shook his head and said, “Forget it, it’s best if you don’t get involved with this person. However, since your grandfather said so, you can look for him if you really get into any trouble. Maybe you can get some unexpected results.”

“Okay…” Philip nodded, glanced at the letter in his hand, and said, “I’ll leave Fernvale to you, then.”

Reed smiled and said, “I just received an order from the Imperial Preceptor. He’s ready to make a move against Fernvale, so I’m not helping you but simply carrying out his orders. ”

“The Imperial Preceptor wants to make a move against Fernvale?” Philip asked.

Reed said, “Yes, he has lost patience with the situation here in Fernvale. Time is running out for those troublemakers.”

Hearing that, Philip smiled. Then, he left Reed’s room and returned to his room.
