Chapter Twenty-Nine—Home and the Prelude to the Wedding
"Sham? How did you get back? Could it be that Lu Ming is also back? When Miral washed up in a daze, and came to the dining room on the first floor to prepare for breakfast, he suddenly found that the host was not Lily, but Sham, and immediately asked in surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before Sham could answer, Miral suddenly pointed to Mena, who was sitting in the shadows, and asked Sham, "Who else is this woman?" ”
"Her name is Mena. Like you, it's Lu Ming's fiancée. ”
"Huh!! ANOTHER!! ”
"What's another one? For me and Lily, you're another good one too! ”
Seeing that Sham was angry, Miral couldn't say anything, so he had to sit in his seat and silently wait for Lu Ming to get up and complain to Lu Ming.
Looking at Miral, who was spoiled by Lu Ming, Sham shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the stairs in the living room. There, Lu Ming was helping the pot-bellied Lily down, and beside him, there was another Lily.
"Is this a twin or what? Why are two people exactly the same? Mena, who hadn't seen Lily and hadn't asked too much about Lily, were shocked.
"It's a matter of timeline, and you might see another version of yourself in the future."
Mena didn't understand Sham's answer, but knew that it might be similar to Kanina and Amelia, so she didn't ask anymore.
A few minutes later, when everyone had come to the dining room and gotten to know each other, Mena realized that in this house, only Sham, the two Lily, and Filner were in charge, and the other ladies did not have much power. It's like Sika and Miral.
Sham is the steward of the family and the one who helps manage the territory, and the power in his hands is not small. But the army in the territory was firmly controlled by the two Lily, and Sham was not given the slightest chance. Moreover, Lu Ming seems to be still supporting Filner and making him the one who controls the caravan. In such a situation that can almost be said to be a three-legged position, people like herself Mena, Yur Sika, and Miral, who have little power, must choose to take sides to get some of the benefits from these three forces.
Among them, Yu'er Sika is Lily's man, and Milar is from Sham's side. Therefore, Mena herself knew very well that she had to be on Filner's side, otherwise if the other two of the three forces were united, the strongest force would become the weakest force in an instant!
With this in mind, Mena immediately threw herself into Filner's arms, leaving Lily and Sham both dark-faced.
However, the three of them did not blame Mena for her thoughts. At least not yet......
Glancing at his two daughters and two adopted daughters, Lu Ming was eating breakfast while thinking about the future.
Almost as he finished his breakfast, he suddenly said, "Kuya and Maia are both of school age, and the children of Emilia and their children also need to learn something, so which of you should do this?" ”
Hearing this, Lily, Sham, and Filner all shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't want to come.
Mena thought about it, these four are not in charge of everything, and they also have to manage things in the territory, so it is impossible to do this. However, if they do not do it, it means that they will be chosen from among the remaining three and the eldest and second daughters. If this is a good opportunity, she can plot a shred of power. But if you are already greedy and arouse the anger of Finner and Sham, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. So after thinking about it for a while, she chose to give up.
After Mena chose to give up, Lu Ming couldn't help but glance at Mena, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Mena saw the disappointment in Lu Ming's eyes, but what could be done about it?
"I guess I'd better do it. After all, the Academy of Magic is about to start construction in a year's time, and I should have a little bit of experience. In the end, this task was taken away by Miral, but her unintentional words pierced Lu Ming's heart.
-----------------------------------
After breakfast, Lu Ming came to the seventh room on the third floor, which was his own private study.
And You'er Sika and Miral also followed, on the one hand, to make out with their fiancé who they hadn't seen for a long time, and on the other hand, to get a few books to read. After all, without Lu Ming's consent, if you take the books in Lu Ming's private study, you will be trained by Lily and them.
In the study, there was a small bed that was not too big or small, although it was only used for Lu Ming to rest, but now there were three people lying down. Although it was a bit crowded, Yur Sika and Miral didn't really want to leave. After all, the two of them hadn't seen Lu Ming for five or six months.
Lying in Lu Ming's arms, Yu'er Sika and Miral talked about a series of things that had happened in the territory in the past six months.
For example, Princess Ella almost stabbed Jack to death with a thunder gun when she was learning miracles, Sham envied Lily for getting pregnant first, and secretly stuffed a pillow in her room to look in the mirror to look in the mirror, and Miral herself has learned the soul gun and other unimportant things. However, there is one thing that Lu Ming thinks is very, very important, and that is that the fiancées think about themselves.
And he didn't think about them all the time, and he was a little haggard when he thought about it.
At this time, the people in the study were suddenly pushed away, and they were so frightened that You'er Sika and Miral hid in the quilt at once, and only Lu Ming looked at the door with a big grin.
The man patted Miral's little ass and said with a smile, "It's me, don't hide." ”
Miral, who was so frightened that she screamed at the sudden attack, heard that it was Sham, and when she heard that it was Sham, she showed her head and looked at her, only to see Sham looking at her with a malicious smile.
Immediately, Miral cried and mourned, got up from the little bed, put on his clothes, and reluctantly walked away with Sham.
After a while, Miral's voice could be heard downstairs telling the child to read.
smiled helplessly, and then Lu Ming and You'er Sika kept it for a while, until You'er Sika left with Lu Ming's notebook that recorded some miracle research.
Putting on his clothes, Lu Ming slowly walked to the window, looking at the thriving appearance of the town outside, a very warm feeling couldn't help but appear in Lu Ming's heart.
"That's what home feels like. It's nice not to have to think about all those trifles. ”
Smiling slightly, Lu Ming sat down on the chair behind his desk, picked up a notebook in his hand, and began to think about his wedding and the magic academy he would establish in the future. But I don't know why, Lu Ming's hand always caresses the crystalline amber eyes on his neck from time to time......
-----------------------------------
Just a month after Lu Ming and the others returned to Odysseus, Archduke Raels, who was far away in Agamemnon, received a letter, a letter from the imperial capital.
At this moment, although the New Year has passed, the whole city of Agamemnon is still in the joy of the New Year, but this letter has driven away Raels's good mood at once.
"To Archduke Raels Hedis.
I am Count Corsus Lake of the Imperial Capital. The reason why I am writing to you is because our spies have found two monsters in the Alpha Empire that are very similar to the monsters you said Viscount Lu Ming turned into after his beastification. Although they were forced to help the Elves wipe out the virus-infected Monsters, we now have reason to believe that the Elves have received the help of Viscount Lu Ming's descendants, so you can take this matter seriously. I hope you don't fool us with the excuse that those two monsters were captured by Eldridge's ghostly forces. After all, it is not known whether Eldridge really exists, and it is very fatal to mistakenly believe in outsiders!
The Book of Kosus Lake."
The content of this letter is very simple, that is, he wants to execute Lu Ming. But the credibility of the letter is questionable. You must know that there are (hunters) in the imperial capital now. It was impossible for them to be unaware of Lu Ming's influence on this organization, and it was impossible for them to give such an order at will.
Unless someone feels that (the hunter) can't be controlled by the Church of Light like this, and tries to use Lu Ming as a wedge, causing (the hunter) to be dissatisfied, so as to accuse the Church of Light of mismanagement and take away the control of the (Hunter) organization in one fell swoop.
"At this time, those guys in the imperial capital are still vying for power. Aren't you afraid that the Dak Ifa Empire will take advantage of our own internal strife and attack on a large scale? You must know that there is no virus plague on the Dark-Alpha side! ”
Disillusioned with the people of the Imperial Capital, Raels silently burned the letter.
"Although I am timid, I am not to play with it as you want!" With a grim face looking at the letter that was devoured by tongues of fire, Raels said viciously.
At this time, Count Lothric and Count Vlad entered the room together, and when they saw what Raels was burning, they knew what the fools in the imperial capital were going to do.
However, the two of them glanced at each other, chose to protect themselves, and did not ask Raels.
"Grand Duke!" After Raels burned the letter completely, Count Vlad stepped forward, handed an invitation to Archduke Raels, and said: "This is an invitation sent by Viscount Lu Ming, and he will be married on the sixth of next month." ”
"I thought that with his character, I shouldn't have received an invitation. The person who did this was Sham Hatu, right? ”
"Yes, Grand Duke! It was indeed the one from the Hatu family who was in charge of delivering the invitations. Count Vlad nodded.
Hearing this, Archduke Raels couldn't help but laugh. I thought to myself, Lu Ming, this guy really didn't want to invite me!
Then he said to the Grand Duke Vlad: "Your family's Mena is going to marry him too, right?" ”
Grand Duke Vlad nodded and said, "Yes." It's just that the kid recently did something stupid that embarrassed me a little. ”
As soon as they heard this, Raels and Lo Slick immediately became interested.
"What kind of stupidity?"
Count Vlad thought for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Two days ago was the New Year, and Lu Ming prepared a gift for his fiancée. And what Mena got was a shop. ”
"Although you said that you made a deal with Ozmoz and the Hatu family, they shouldn't be bothering you with a shop, right?" Raels gave Vlad a strange look.
"The problem is that the things sold in the shop are some weapons and armor from the Cold Valley, as well as some magic notes of soul arrows." Scratching his face a little embarrassed, Count Vlad said.
Upon hearing this, Lothlick and Raels were shocked.
"What do you say? Cold Valley's stuff, and soul magic? ”
As soon as the words came out, Raels and Lothric reacted instantly, forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts, and looked at Vlad with a stupid look.
"You think it's stupid for your daughter to take over that shop?"
Vlad shook his head and said, "No, no matter how stupid I am, I can't say that letting my daughter refuse her fiancé's New Year's gift, that is no different from looking for death." I don't think what she did right is that she took the profits of the store for nothing. ”
Hearing Count Vlad say this, Lothric couldn't help but nod and said, "You're not stupid, you know that the shop must be accepted." However, the matter of stealing profits can be big or small. To put it mildly, it can be said that I don't notice it for a while, forgetting about the other sisters. To put it more broadly, it is an attempt to hoard money, preparing to attack the positions of Hatu, Ozmoz, and Hellas, the three people who have the opportunity to become wives. ”
"That's what I'm worried about, too."
"But you forgot one thing, if this is really the case, then how can Lu Ming not say anything? I think he's going to see if you're on Ozmoz's side or if you're on Hatu's side. After frowning and thinking for a moment, Lothric said.
If Lu Ming was here now, he would definitely give this nonsense guy a slap in the face. He didn't have that idea at all, everything was all Lothric's own imagination.
It's a pity that Lu Ming is in Odysseus at this moment, and he is not here. So Vlad agreed with Lothric's nonsense, nodded and said, "Looks like I really have to take sides." ”
Speaking of this, Raels suddenly asked again, "By the way, is your family going to Odysseus?" ”
"We both go as a couple. As for Mena's siblings, I'm sure they'll only bring the youngest one. Vlad, who didn't understand what Raels meant, said with some confusion.
'Three people? There will be no shortage of people going to Hatu's house. The Ozmoz family will also be pouring out. Even the church will probably go to many people. And there are only three of you in the family...... Do you look down on the hunter leaders of yesteryear, or what? Looking at Count Vlad like a fool, Raels kindly reminded, "Your family had better go." ”
Vlad was full of question marks by Raels's words, and couldn't help but look at Lothric on the side with a little help.
Unfortunately, the answer given by Lo Slick is the same as Raels's sentence: "You'd better go as a family." ”
After pondering for a while, Vlad reacted and hurriedly said, "I see." I'll definitely go to the family. ”
"Hmm!" Raels nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Lu Ming is a lord no matter what, if you only go to one or two people, it is likely that he will be considered to be your despised him." So it's better not to do that. ”
"Moreover, letting the people of your clan see the mansions of the real noble lords will also stimulate them to be enterprising, instead of sleeping on the Caron Mountains all day long." (To be continued.) )
