272 Episode 11 Long time no see (1)

We arrived safely in the Imperial Capital on schedule.

The results of the long-range test should be passed without any problems.

Now, don't move to mass production.I'm sure we'll see magic cars from time to time next year.

Mr. Leo, I've been expecting you.

Amélie, who manages the Imperial Mansion, welcomed me.

Amélie, who has been taking care of me since I was born, is over forty years old.

They say they have three daughters married to a craftsman who lives in the Imperial City.By the way, it seems that all three are working hard as apprentice maids in our mansion.

"Are you ready for the party?"

"Yes, that's fine for now."

"That's good. Come on, guys.I'm Amélie, the maid's chief. I'm trying to be a good boy so Amélie doesn't get in trouble. "

Yes.

"Alright, let's get ready for today."

"Today?"

"Oh, it's the day my dad and mom's friends come home."

Since it was difficult to gather after each child was born, I decided to gather as a regular member by asking them to come this time.

It seems that Frank and the others arrived in the Imperial Capital yesterday, and that Kite and Elaine have been in the Imperial Capital since last week because they want to meet with the Emperor.

When I heard that we had arrived, both families were on their way.

"A friend of Mom and Dad? Um, brave lady?"

"Yes, there will be other southern aristocrats, the Boardrails, coming home."

"Oh, which is the bigger one, the nobleman or our house?"

"Well, at the length of history, the Boardrails are nobles fighting one or two in this country."

"Hmm. I mean, you haven't lost anything other than history?"

I said don't say that because it's cloudy on purpose.

"There's no winning or losing.I'm part of the same empire. "

I stroked Nora's head while deceiving her with an unanswered answer.

"Yes, and the Boardrails are a very important nobleman, bridging the country with the Empire."

A nobleman who has had a relationship with the Holy Nation for centuries.

"But... surely we were also in contact with the Kingdom, right?Does our house bridge the kingdom? "

"Oh, Lil's studying hard."

Now I stroke Lil's head with the hand on Nora's head.

It's amazing how well you understand geography when you're only six years old.

Ehehe

"Indeed, the Muldeens are also bridging kingdoms and empires.However, this was originally done by a different aristocrat. "

Anyway, I decided to tell you a little old stories.

If you're going to live as a Muldeen, that's the knowledge you need.

"Once upon a time there were four dukes: the Lefebvre in the north, the Forster in the east, the Boardrail in the south, and the Philibert in the west."

"I've heard of the Forster!This is where your father was born, right? "

"Yes, by the way, the Lefebvre family is married to my father's sister."

"Oh, so, what happened to the last Filibale?Did you destroy it? "

"Yes, my father destroyed me because I did something wrong."

"Huh? Dad?"

"Well, will I be destroyed in the end?"

That debris master died of a bomb Gert planted.

"Well, what bad did your father do to the nobles he destroyed?"

"There's been a lot, but most of all, I think I betrayed the Empire and tried to rebel."

Otherwise, I've been frustrated by taking extrajudicial taxes from my people, helping Shelley kidnap... oh, I just remembered.

"Rebellion?"

"Er... it's a terrible thing to attack someone you care about.If Cain hits Nora, that's a bad thing, right? "

"Yeah, that's bad."

"That's right. That's why they're replacing the work that the bad aristocrats were doing."

No, he didn't really work, so it's hardly an exaggeration to say that we started almost new.

The remaining territory is almost dilapidated, and every city is built from scratch.

That's right.

"Dear Leo... I'm sorry I'm so excited.The brave men have arrived. "

Looks like the kites arrived while I was speaking up about the Phillibal family's bad behavior.

After hearing Amélie's report, we hurried to the front door.

"Hey, it's been a while. How are you?"

As I saw it, Kate and Elaine looked fine.

And you've grown up, too.I'm about nine because I'm one year older than Cain.

"Oh, thanks. Oh, I've heard so much about you, but you have a lot of kids."

"Yes, Sherry gave birth to her ninth child and Lena gave birth to her tenth.And there's an eleventh person in Elsie's belly, even though she's not here. "

"And recently, I discovered that there was a twelfth person in Bell."

Yes, it turns out that Belle was pregnant the other day.

The expected date of delivery is eight months later, but it's still a long way off.

"Wow, that's amazing.By the way, I didn't bring my eldest daughter Mami this time, but I had three eldest sons, Liquito and Uto. "

"Oh, Mommy, you're already nine years old."

"Yes, introduce yourself."

"Um... it's nice to meet you, Mommy Alber.Thank you for inviting me today. "

When I finished introducing myself, I bowed with cuteness.

Yeah. She looks just like Elaine, so she's going to be a brilliant beauty in the future.

I'm really glad it doesn't look like Kite.
