Chapter 223 The world is uneven, and people's hearts are unpredictable
Staying overnight at Lucy Figgs' house?
Lias thought about it and had no other place to go for the time being, the imperial general had arranged a residence, but it was all those places in the military headquarters, and it was estimated that it was in the street where he entered the imperial capital before.
If you want to live in a house by yourself, you probably have to buy it, although Lias was born in a noble, but not a business family background, and there is not much property in the entire city of Hajar, if you want to buy a house in the imperial capital, it will cost a lot of money.
I didn't expect that I had come to another world, and I had to worry about buying a house.
The dinner at Lucy Fergus's house was not as bad as Wang Chu imagined, although there had been friction before, but in addition to not having too much accommodation at the table, the eldest lady of the family had already behaved very politely.
Wang Chu remembered that her name was Novai, and she had already changed into a brand-new long dress at this time.
But it was only for a quiet meal, and it was impossible to call Cousin Lias.
At the dinner table, Ain introduced several of his children to Lias, the one with military rank is his eldest son, called Henry, who can probably be regarded as the next leader of the family, and then the second daughter, Novai...... As for the other two children, the names are interesting, one is Luo and the other is Ken.
As for why it is a single name, it was only later that Wang Chu found out, it turned out that children born to nobles who were not official wives would take a single name, so that although they could carry the reputation of the family, it was also easy for the outside world to know what status this person had in the family.
Aine had wanted to let Lias stay at home for a few more days, so that the other children could learn from her how to become the captain of the guard at a young age, but Lias politely declined.
Everyone knows how to get into this position, and this excuse is afraid that it is untenable.
But Wang Chu can't see anything wrong, a family that has not been in touch all year round, but there is also a blood relationship, and it is the place to worship if you come here according to the rules of the family, so it makes sense to be polite to each other.
Even if it's just a superficial politeness.
In addition, Lias is now the new Imperial General, so it doesn't hurt at all to be polite to the family or to the future development.
During the banquet, Ain asked Lias several times about himself, about the elves, how to summon them, whether there were any secrets or how to tame the elves, and Wang Chu noticed that several young people seemed to be very interested.
It's just that Lias's answer was very ordinary, which disappointed everyone.
Hehe, of course, because Lao Tzu is not an elf at all...... As for his profession, he was originally an outsider, so he couldn't be measured in an ordinary way.
But you can also hear a lot of news about the imperial capital in the conversation of several people.
........................
As the night fell, Lias and Lucia were placed in the best room they had ever stayed in, a place that was not as big as the one in the royal palace of Siwa City, but definitely better decorated than there.
Wang Chu was lying in a white cotton blanket that was displayed with soft silk cloth.
When she was full, Lucia collapsed weakly on the boat next to her.
"Well, I'm so tired, I find it more tiring to communicate with you nobles than when I'm out there with a group of adventurers. She was half leaning on the bed, her high chest erect, her clothes showing a little white flesh on her belly, and her waist was thin. Lucia inherited the exaggerated plump body of a woman from a western country, but because she had lived in Hajar City for a long time, her skin was indeed as fair as Lias's.
She sat up again abruptly.
"Especially your cousin, who keeps asking me about it, you don't know how much you are suffering there. Disgruntled, she complained to Lias.
"I didn't admit that he was my cousin, and besides, you are so beautiful, with a good body and big breasts, if I were a man, I would hook up with you. Lias sat down on the bed as well.
Hehe, Wang Chu leaned to the side and listened, watching the two girls tossing around in front of the window.
Don't look at these two people who are very serious on weekdays, and they can't even keep up with their 'driver' when they get up at a critical time.
"Alright, alright...... Tell me what we're going to do next?" Lucia asked slowly.
"Tomorrow I want to go to the military headquarters, but I haven't reported on it yet. "Originally, Lias was supposed to go to the military headquarters this afternoon, not to mention the report and know people, but Aine said that he would arrange it for Lias to rest at home for a few days, and then take her to the military headquarters in person.
"I would like to meet Marshal Mansoor, who is also said to be a dragon knight, and my grandfather has told me many times that I must meet him when I come to the imperial capital. ”
"And what about this uncle of yours, don't you think that if you rely on Marshal Mansoor, he will be unhappy. Lucia looked at each other and said.
Political standing, this is a very important link, maybe some of the officials in the imperial capital are looking at Lias.
Oh, yes.
And then there's this relationship.
When Lucia said this, Wang Chu seemed to understand why Aine seemed to have no emotion but had an amiable appearance, and Lias was in a high position when she first arrived, and perhaps most of the officials did not understand the purpose of the Rhine king's arrangement.
Wang Chu doesn't understand the political internal relations of the Asta Empire, but no matter which world is related to this convenience, there will be no unity, and mutual checks and balances are the most stable, no wonder Ain invited Lias to stay for a few more days.
Lias didn't answer, and she couldn't answer a little girl who had just been born to answer something that might be related to her future career.
"Let's go to sleep first, let's take our time in this matter. Lucia seemed to see the other party's thoughts and comforted her.
At present, the situation in the imperial capital is not clear at all, and Wang Chu can only observe it slowly.
Lie down, it was originally quiet.
It didn't take long to feel like the time was just a short slept and there was a noise outside the house.
Why, this is the landlord's manor, does anyone dare to come here to make trouble, all this time they are running around this time This sound sounds like when they are resting in a tavern, and the voice of a drunk comes from outside the house at night.
Knock knock knock......
There was an anxious knock on the door several times.
At dinner, Lias drank a little wine and slept deeply.
"Miss Lias...... Captain of the Guardian Knights......"
When Wang Chu waited until he heard clearly, the door had been opened by several anxious maids.
"What's the matter!" Lias and Lucia woke up from their sleep and looked at the man who had entered, who was the maid of the Lucifiggs family.
She suddenly knelt on the ground and looked apologetic, and then said in a nervous tone.
"I'm sorry, General, but we're just worried that something happened to you!"
Wang Chu was also woken up by the sound outside, and he raised his head to look at the maid who was kneeling on the ground.
"Something happened to you in your sleep?"
"Next door...... Next door, the Count's house of Kula, the Count's house was slaughtered!!"
