“ no mail master ” jim give a letter that arrived come to the remote eastern region
“ well put on the table jim ” jim approached then put the letter on the table. Gilda saw the letter. The asparagan family crest.
“ from family? What's up with them? ”
The asparagan family will send a letter if they want one. So Gilda was quite curious. The letter was opened and it was read by an invitation to a family celebration every spring. Gilda also knew that but in the past Gilda was never allowed to come along so it was not important for her. But this time the letter was sent out unwillingly as the nobility's ethics had to come. Seeing Gilda's solid spring schedule was also reluctant but it was impossible to avoid any invitations or impending problems.
“ Jim call ron and mia ”
“ well sir ”
Shortly three people entered Gilda's study.
“ there is an invitation from the family for the celebration and it looks like I have to come but the needs of spring can not be postponed so Jim ron and mia you will come with me to travel tomorrow we will leave to prepare ”
“ well sir ”
“ jim will later take care of the basic needs of the city ron take care of military needs and lorna needs and then mia will take care of the progress in the southern region after that we will separate to take care of the duties of each of you also look for slaves in the city you came to ”
“ good lord ” every order will be executed without question it's loyalty in the eyes of nobles.
After all gone Gilda called out to Zora.
“ Zora asks 5 members of black rose to bring titan code 1 scalloped to the mountains behind the hunting territory demon beast level 5 if it can level 6 or 7 is also good but do not risk life if not can win backwards ”
“ carry out sir ”
“ then you will disguise as a coachman come with me to the castle asparagan go”
The next morning 60 blood knight Rose carried the flag using full plate armor on horseback leaving with 4 horse carriages. The journey was pretty smooth until the first town and then jim parted ways with 20 blood rose knights. Seeing the new knight flag was enough to make many people even the guards startled but by showing the invitations from the asparagan family all went smoothly.
The next group headed to the city where there was the stone gambling that used to be. Until there Ron was introduced to the manager to make transactions with Ron and Mia and Gilda headed to the city of the caspian. Arriving in the city, the condition was terrible even many corpses were lying just like that. The city soldiers were also very few. After giving instructions to mia the group separated.
Mia herself used to handle trade in the previous city so it was known by Gilda's merchant subordinates.
Gilda herself went to the asparagan region from the southern region although quite twisted but for the sake of smooth territory. Gilda is only with Zora as a coachman. The days of travel passed by were no different as long as in the southern region all was full of chaos. But look at the crest belonging to the army of the 1st young lord and the 4th young master.
After crossing the eastern border and entering the central area run by the family asparagan the atmosphere immediately changed. Positive energy emanated in the city of asparagan welcomed a different spring with gloomy and cold in the southern region.
It's the same as it was years ago. The central region was extremely prosperous even after 3 more years of becoming increasingly prosperous. From one city to another until finally reached the city asparagan largest city in the duchy asparagan region in the east of the empire.
The magnificent asparagan family castle looks from a distance.
Gilda's mood was bad enough Gilda really did not like the asparagan family so she always put on another face facade. Gilda remembered the incident from a few months ago should she also be assessed when she came home this of course the result will be bad. But for the guild it also does not matter as long as the debt is paid in full with interest.
Gilda begins to devise a plan but there is not much Gilda can manipulate at the center. The only plan is for the sheep to eat the tiger. His strength of a level 7 intermediate was even stronger than the crown prince who was considered a genius. Then the guild remembered definitely going to be asked about talent and so on.
‘ life is difficult ’ think of various ways make sense but do not find.
Gilda decided to act stupid. His stupidity was what people in the asparagan family expected. People who do not like Gilda will find it difficult to accept the reality even if it is the truth and just want to see things about the guild in accordance with what he thinks.
Pondered for a long time until finally arrived in front of the castle gate of the asparagan family after the examination and so Gilda entered. In the open area in front of the castle were five flags fluttering then there were groups of troops numbering in the tens of people in each group.
Looking at his emblems Gilda knew that the group all belonged to all of his older brothers. Near there was a cage to put the demonic beast there were 6 spaces and only five filled. There was a level 4 fire tiger demonic beast with long-fingered reddish fur as well as all four of its legs letting out flames, Fierce fire tiger belonged to his first brother. Next was the purple lightning hawk, a level 4 demonic beast as well. Third there is the golden lion lion with its iron claws. The fourth was the strongest level 5 vermillion bird of all. The dark wind panther level 4. After the train stops zora goes down and opens the train door. Not fancy clothes or a handsome face in sight but a black hooded robe. Zora also wears a robe but does not use her veil.
Zora chose to wear a mask like a ninja but made of an iron mask. Just climbed a few open door steps and there were five older brothers and another sister.
“ greetings sisters ” guild give respect like young nobles.
“ hehehe no need manners, looks like a snot beggar tau way home ” Mikael scoffs at Gilda.
“ hehehe ” guild just laughs awkwardly.
“ hey useless boy dare to come late ” do not want to miss his fourth sister Alexander also insult Gilda.
“ hey boy mom already waiting quickly meet ” it is her older brother son second joe.
“ huh trash base ” his fifth brother ramos 2 years older than Gilda. As for kaka to the third miles just looking cynical.
After walking into Zora is delivered to the guest resting place. Then Gilda's entourage headed to the park in the inner area of the castle before getting there the group separated children to 1, 3 , 5 Head to the family room to relax while the child to 2 4 6 head to the park.
“ we meet the mistress to two ” the three children kneel.
“ joe Mikael go ”
“ good mistress ”
Gilda herself knelt quietly. After quite a while finally his mother or second mistress opened her mouth.
“ hey boy wake up this mistress wants to talk to you ”
“ good mistress ” guild still hasn't removed her veil.
“ why you still use your veil boy ”
“ ah this low shy mistress ”
“ yaya whatever, this is for the city problems that you managed before all the advantages there will be used to help joe and Mikael and for you a little money alone should be enough ”
“ good mistress ” for Gilda the little money she has is enough to support her life to death. His mother was obviously not suspicious because all the city taxes were still piling up in the city anyway Gilda did not need a dime.
“ the development of your big brother is very good in contrast to you boy is really useless oh yeah how the region do you like?” a smile appeared on his mother's face.
“ very satisfied mistress ” heard Gilda's serious tone of speech made her mother convinced that Gilda did not blame everything.
“ well go ” Gilda directly go from that park. After entering the building where his older brother gathered the guild just stood in the room while looking out the window.
“ hey boy are you sad about being scolded by mom? ” Mikael asked him.
“ don't cry here it's a shame ” ramos chimed.
CH 26
“ of course not hahaha ” Gilda laughed and passed away while looking for fresh air and going around the castle. Here all asparagan family affairs are centered. Hall of the council to implement family law, a large hall for the meeting of the whole family. The main building is the residence of the grand duke then the right wing building belongs to his mother's mistress silistine and the left wing belongs to his stepmother lady raelsa.
Large building where other family members live. The elders have their own manor building in the central part of the castle and other building such as training field, library, office of internal and external affairs, forging workshop, alchemist room warehouse, and so on. The back of the castle which is covered in a magnificent shadow of the castle is the residence of the low maid, low keeper house and so on and Gilda's residence is also here.
After arriving near the building, the guild guests felt the presence of Zora shortly popped behind Gilda.
“ what do you think? ”
“ this castle is very tight lord ”
“ of course even the royal army will be difficult to break through this castle ”
“ in addition to the guards visible there are also guards in the dark ”
“ their shadow dragon guard ” the asparagan family wears the dragon as a crest symbol as the dragon is considered an early existence of magic.
“ so they are shadow keepers ”
“ right they belong to the patriarch no one else can deploy them ”
“ they are quite elite the same as the final rank 6 royal army is the strongest but the commander of the commander is a rank 7 if the royal army is known outside the shadow dragon guard is known only by the patriarchs of the generation to their generation the main force of the asparagan family ”
“ grand duke degree is not just a display ”
“ is true because this power is also the imperial family is afraid of two grand dukes because it is indeed equivalent to ”
“ I've heard that the empire has a secret guard also ”
“ should be possible but the number is definitely few and the possibility of its strength is level seven”
“ isn't it strong enough to seize another kingdom kingdom ”
“ indeed but the two grandukes of their imperial family merchant association tie each other to make stability, but it does not matter that the main thing is whether black rose is able to break through level 7? ”
“ it is quite difficult sir there are still 2 large levels crossed but level 6 is still easy ”
“ I want the power in the east well hidden but can rival all three major powers of the empire even if they join it at least need 5000 level 7 ”
“ it's a terrible amount sir is not impossible but difficult is the same as climbing to the sky ”
“ 5 or 10 years is indeed difficult, as long as we are humble it is not impossible ”
Gilda and Zora discussed about the power in the asparagan family and even the empire besides Gilda also asked Zora to map the condition of the asparagan castle. In the afternoon Gilda returned to her room in the back building while Zora in the guest building prepared herself for dinner.
Gilda never had fancy clothes only had the clothes sewn by her maids first. Although made with as much luxury as possible but with the ability to fit and the remaining materials that the maids can of course just like the clothes of low-class nobles.
But it didn't matter to him because the asparagan family was just a stepping stone. Zora and the guild meet again after preparing. Entering the main building there are both mistress concubines and her children and children of the main lineage.
The son of the concubine child who was considered a byproduct was still wearing luxurious clothes. Even a lot of money. At dinner everything went well but the guild just sat in the very end corner and was not visible. Although no one insulted him when eating because if there is a disrespectful when eating will be punished.
Gilda certainly knows that something interesting will happen after dinner. Everything was done and everyone moved from the dining room to the main hall of the building. There Gilda entered the rear with Zora. When eating only families are allowed to enter but when in this hall personal guards or private buttlers may enter the limit is 3 people.
Gilda dressed in her robe walked back with Zora, turned her back to the hall and looked at the window. During his life in the castle he only saw his vegetable garden in order to still be able to eat with the maid but through this window he could see the castle garden.
‘ one day yes one day ’ is here really make Gilda feel angry and want to reply someday.
All the talk of the family members was just wind to him. Then before long the sound of clapping made everyone quiet. The current patriarch of the asparagan family is Leonardo de asparagan with the two mistresses behind him.
Gilda also looked. Gilda only knows her father's face through the portrait seen when Gilda is in the city that Gilda manages.
“ of attention today is the spring celebration event for families and tomorrow is the next pre-noble party is the ancestral tribute ceremony ” patriarch explained about the family history and the meaning of this celebration. But at the end of the explanation was quite surprising.
“ last is outdoor exam Gilda de Asparagan Because something is considered a failure because it has to move to another region ” heard that many family members whisper to each other even looking for the whereabouts of Gilda.
To Gilda it was not surprising nor did it burden her. On the other hand it was the first time that a person from the main line had failed an outside exam due to moving to another region. Even a few months before the test was successful.
“ Gilda de asparagan give welcome to family after return ”
Hearing the words of the patriarch arrived Gilda enlightened and got an idea. The sheep eating tiger plan was carried out. Gilda walked towards the middle of the hall while taking a glass of shake-shaken drink. Zora followed him behind wearing his cloak and iron mask. Gilda herself wears her veil as well.
“ tap tap tap ” Gilda's footsteps sound like echoing everyone silently looking towards Gilda.
Until the middle of the hall Gilda stopped. He looked up at the patriarch of the asparagan family and said.
“ fortis fortuna adiuvat ” words from his world first of course no one understands.
“ krucuk krucuk ” drinks poured onto the floor shortly compression flame burning burning glass to melt fall.
After that Gilda turned around and went out of the hall. After a boisterous sound was heard inside.
“ really clowns ” Gilda go to wake up behind Zora also follow him there. Samapai in his room Gilda immediately slept.
Tomorrow must be in an uproar after the bait is put just waiting for the fish who eat it. If you look at the arrogance of the person the person will definitely try to look for problems for various reasons even his own mother.
In the morning when he woke up there was a buttler in front of his room. Gilda had expected this but seeing the buttler made her quite surprised as it was not the fish expected. Gilda felt she had to spread the bait again.
