Chapter 161: A Long Day (Beginning)
Wedding rehearsal - to put it simply, it is to conduct a trial run of the wide-area live broadcast magic guide prepared by Aliza. The official wedding of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info will be held in ten days.
And even if the wedding itself is not deliberately publicized to the outside world, the city of Celia alone is already a festive scene. In the eyes of the local people, Lutga?? The popularity of the Count of Kurusnir has reached such heights. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a savior.
Eight years ago, 'Silia', which was originally composed of a number of border towns, was like a candle in the wind in the turmoil of the empire. In addition to starvation and poverty, those poor people are constantly facing the threat of Warcraft. And at that time, it was a young boy with a gun who descended on this barren land and rescued everyone from the sea of suffering.
At that time, there was only one young maid beside him, and he and the maid shared three newly-weaned babies in their arms, and they did not look like a rewarded nobleman, but like a wandering knight.
In fact, from the very beginning, no one was optimistic about this young lord, who was once a knight. Because no matter how you think about it, it is difficult for the pampered aristocracy to adapt to this harsh land, let alone take deep roots here. It is believed that it will not be long before the young man will flee back to the imperial capital in distress. What's more, Lutga, who was only in his twenties at the time, had no experience in managing land at all, and certainly did not have the skills to build towns.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lutga resolutely stayed, and worked hard day and night for the future of the territory. There is only a limit to what he can do on his own, at best, he can only fight Warcraft with the martial arts he honed in the knighthood era, or manage the population in the manner of the Imperial Army. For other jobs, I can only keep learning with an open mind.
A peaceful and studious lord, in just a few years, he mastered the characteristics and topography of the land at a speed that absorbed water from the sea, organized a powerful construction team, and even attracted the support of the chambers of commerce in the surrounding towns.
At the same time, Lutga is very young, but he is enough to play the image of a good father, and while exhausting his energy for the territory, he also constantly shows his sense of responsibility as a father and endless love for his daughter.
In just eight years, although Silia has a limited population, a narrow area, and is not rich in resources, it can already be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment. Compared to the deteriorating political environment of the empire, it can even be called a paradise of simple folk customs.
It can be said that all the people of Silia are grateful to the young nobleman, and now, Lutga has finally decided to marry a wife, and all the lords have expressed their blessings from the bottom of their hearts. If there is any fly in the ointment of this wedding...... Probably the wedding partner wasn't Hilda.
The lords' impression of Hilda's gentle and beautiful maid was almost as strong as that of Lord Rutega. For eight years, she had been silently standing by Lutega's side, supporting the young lord all the way. She regarded Lutga's triplets as her own, and poured out maternal love that transcended blood. Not only that, but a large number of 'maids' who have been taken in over the years because of Rutega's bad habits have also been taught and cared for by Hilda.
Almost all the men in the town who knew that Hilda was unmarried had launched an attack on the perfect goddess in her mind, but in the end, without exception, they were all politely rejected by Hilda. Year after year, to this day, Hilda has missed her marriage (in the Empire, due to the lack of compulsory education, women were married between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two).
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Hilda must have a deep affection for the lord. And everyone subconsciously believes that if the lord gets married one day, the object must be her, and it will not be wrong.
But it backfired......
Many people speculate that Count Lutga went to the imperial capital half a year ago for the purpose of marriage. Although he is just a small nobleman on the border, when it comes to marriage, it is really necessary to take into account the development of the territory and the inheritance of bloodline, and the girl named 'Laqi' brought back to Silia this time is probably the aristocratic daughter who set up her in-laws in the imperial capital.
As for Raghi's true identity, almost no one knows. The reason for considering her a nobleman is obvious, after all, she is so beautiful. That natural and elegant temperament is simply not like a human being, just like a fairy who has fallen into mortal dust. It is obviously not a realm that commoners can look up to, it must have been educated by high nobles since childhood, and spent a lot of money to take care of their clothes and maintain their appearance.
The head of the town's Chamber of Commerce even thinks that 'Raki' may have the blood of the imperial royal family. The reason why he thinks this way is because he knows that Rutega's former fiancée, the mother of three daughters, is the princess of the former empire. And this time, Laqi, who married back to the city, has a very similar appearance to his daughters. The most plausible time imaginable is that the royal family of the empire, in order to compensate for Rutega's past exploits and the loss of his wife, promised him a collateral royal family who happened to be in the marriageable period.
This conjecture has also become the mainstream concept in the minds of the people of Celestia today. So although it is a pity, the townspeople still accept this result with relief, after all, for the nobles, there is no higher glory than this.
What's more, as a noble lord, Lutga can also choose to take another concubine after marrying his wife. Because blood is also one of the most important obligations of the nobility. You know, although Lutga has daughters but no sons, although daughters are not incapable of inheriting the territory. In the general patriarchal view of the empire, this was a matter of desperation, and the vast majority of the nobility hoped that a male heir would govern their domains in the future, if possible.
Now in this city, only the parties Rutega and Hilda know that this is not the case. Raki is not a relative of the royal family, not even a 'human'. However, just talking about 'noble status', I'm afraid that even the royal family can't compare with Laqi, because her true identity is a creature standing at the apex of the continent - the dragon clan.
No...... It may not be accurate to say that she is still a dragon, according to Alize's research observations, Ratchey used magic to genetically modify her physiological form to a large extent, although she can still control her former power through dragonstone, but in terms of body alone, she is now very close to human.
As proof - now, on a crisp morning, the dangerous ancient dragon was in the lord's bedroom, with its head resting on Rutega's arm. Of course, the perfect body of art under the quilt is naked.
Lutga was already awake, but he didn't dare to move his arm at will, because he was afraid of waking up the beautiful girl who was sleeping on his arm.
Rachi's crystal blue hair at this time is different from the usual straightforward and bright, and it looks very messy. And this messiness did not affect her charm as a woman in the slightest, but highlighted a stimulating beauty. As soon as Lutga thought that this was caused by his own 'behavior' last night, he felt an indescribable sense of happiness...... It can even be called a sense of accomplishment or a sense of conquest.
Although it may seem superficial, as a man, it is extremely exciting to spend the night with such a gorgeous and charming girl. But in hindsight, Lutga's memories of last night were too vivid and intense, and the situation was still very delicate. You know, Ragie actually took the initiative to run into his room and pressed herself on the mattress without saying a word...... Yes, Rutega was the one who was attacked by the night, and Ratch was like a dragon on the hunt.
However, after overpowering herself, Raghi put on a subtle and troubled expression, and said something that made Lutga cry and laugh - "Hmm...... I don't know what to do next?"
After careful questioning, it turned out to be her daughter Aliza, and finally issued a 'lifting ban' to Laqi for intimate contact with her. It is said that the mana recovery of the dragonstone has been completed. And why did he 'push' himself down on the bed, this biased knowledge seems to come from some eccentric maid in the house, and tailor-made almost sheer tulle pajamas for her......
"Rutega, the taste of estrus. ”
"Ah...... Sorry......"
"No...... I am your wife...... Even if you're in heat with me, it's no problem, huh? So...... Teach Raghi, who doesn't know anything...... How to ...... human beings"
The sweet voice that would melt even in his ears made Lutega's reason burst in an instant, and in the face of his fiancée, there was no need to be patient from the beginning.
As a result, it became this scene of waking up in the morning. However, it is troubled now, because Raqi is a sleepy dragon, and Raqi, who has been sleeping most of the time since she came to the Lord's Mansion, does not know when she will open her eyes...... Although it is not bad to watch the beautiful limbs all the time, but now as the 'alliance leader', Lutga has a mountain of government affairs to deal with every day.
And if it goes on like this, I believe it won't be long before
"Lutegan, breakfast is ready for you. Do you need to be served to change your clothes?"
Sure enough, just as the thought of 'Hilda might be coming soon' flashed through her mind, the other party's call rang out outside the door.
In normal times, Hilda, as a maid, would not have intruded into her master's bedroom at will, but these days, Lutga has taken the initiative to take care of it - "If I can't get up in the morning, come in and wake me up." That is to say-
"I'm in, huh?"
Before the young lord could say anything to stop it, the bedroom door was opened and pushed open by the maid.
At the same time, the young man, who was a little comical because of his panic, and the girl who was sleeping in his arm, immediately met the maid's eyes.
"Ah......" An unexpected scene caused Hilda to fall into a temporary stagnation, and if Alezer was present, she would have been able to obtain a long list of system bugs from her body through the automatics module in this short period of a few seconds--'Level 1 Combat Readiness', 'Firearms System Self-Discipline Unfolded', 'Fully Armed Charged'...... 'IFF Determines Magic Crest as Friendly', 'Disarmed...... Disarming the ...... Disarming the ...... Dismiss the ......' data signal.
"Miss Ratche, too......"
"Ah...... Ahh......h Oh, yes...... How do you say that...... I'm sorry!"
Rutga scratched his hair in embarrassment, his expression like that of a child who had done something wrong. If you use the domestic ethics film routine that Alice is familiar with, the expression of the father in front of him is undoubtedly a scumbag who was caught and raped in bed.
"Hehehe, man Lutga, what are you talking about? There's nothing to apologize for, is there? Anyway, since you're awake, change your clothes as soon as possible, breakfast is ready for you. ”
Hilda was right, as an imperial nobleman, even if Lutga was bumped into by his wife, he could have put on a calm appearance. But for some reason, Hilda's gentle words continued to exude a compelling aura, and at the same time, he wondered if it was a problem with the light, and the maid's smile was also gloomy and sent chills down his spine.
So, just as Sylda's fully automatic rear-end missiles were locked, the busy day of the earl's wedding rehearsal began.
