Chapter 120 Family
“Okay, Master.”
Old Charles said quickly.
It was only then that he remembered that the three of them left in such a hurry and did not have the opportunity to talk to the young master in detail about the family situation along the way.
While reflecting secretly, the old butler worded his words and then spoke:
"The history of the Fahan family is more than four hundred years old, dating back to the early fifteenth century. At that time, the family ancestor was just a lord in Middle-earth. However, later family members married into the royal family, which made the family gradually prosperous. "
"However, there is no way to check the history before the establishment of the empire. Those genealogies and information were destroyed in several wars, and the rest of the relevant information was blocked by the empire's senior officials."
"The father of Old Earl Maxwell, your great-grandfather, Mr. Robles Farhan, once participated in the 'Imperial Unification War' and made great achievements in the war. He was awarded the title by the first head of state at that time. The territory and title were restored to the glory of the family."
"After that, your grandfather, Old Earl Maxwell, successfully entered the center of imperial power through his own efforts and served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs for five years. Resigning from office, I retired to take care of myself.”
Old Charles said, paying attention to the young master’s expression.
"Currently, your father, Lord Ramon Farhan, is in charge. In the family, you also have two uncles, three aunts, and one aunt, respectively..."
"No need to elaborate. "
Jilan suddenly raised his hand to signal.
He pinched his somewhat swollen temples and said:
“Tell me about your father’s wife and their children.”
"Are you talking about Mrs. Xenia and your brothers and sisters..."
Old Charles was startled, then nodded.
"Mrs. Xenia comes from the Jacob Viscount family in the capital. She is the eldest daughter of the contemporary powerful Mr. Fabien Jacob. As for your brothers and sisters, there are four in total."
"The eldest son Prince, the second daughter Nancy, the third son Joan, and the fourth daughter Milinda."
"You are one year older than Master Prince, so they are all Your younger siblings.”
"Currently, Master Prince and Master Joan are studying at the 'Ludo Palace Academy' in the capital, while Miss Nancy and Miss Milinda are studying at the 'Snowflake Noble Women's Academy'..."
"They He received a traditional education from the empire. In addition to basic knowledge, it was actually based on aristocratic etiquette and social skills, so he was very fond of and good at wand skills, fighting, archery and horse riding.”
Old Charles laughed. got up.
He knows that the young master has extraordinary skills.
“When you stay at the Earl’s Manor, you will have something in common with them.”
Ji Lan nodded slightly, noncommittal.
Just at this moment, a waiter wearing a fireman's shirt came over with two dinner plates and casually placed the breakfast set in front of the two of them.
"Please use it slowly." He yawned and left without looking back.
Old Charles glanced at this guy's image with an unhappy expression.
“I came to work without even combing my hair, with oily hair, dirty face, and disheveled clothes. The service in this store is really bad!”
As he said this, he looked apologetic and turned to look at Gilan.
"Master, in addition to me as the general housekeeper, there are two other internal and external housekeepers in the Earl's Manor, one male and one female. They are all housekeeping elites with more than 20 years of experience."
"In addition, there are twenty-four servants in the manor. Including cook, nurse, valet, housemaid, laundry maid, store maid, kitchen maid, dishwashing maid, nursery maid; valet , waiters, coachmen, grooms, assistant grooms, porters, gardeners and laborers..."
Old Charles was talking, but Gilan once again raised his hand to signal.
He interrupted:
"When I get to the capital, I'll ask Old Charles to help me find a spacious and clean rental apartment."
"Master?" Old Charles was stunned. "You don't plan to live in the Earl's Manor?"
"Yes."
Gillen took a bite of the sandwich. It didn't taste good, but it was enough to swallow.
He has too many secrets. If he lives in the manor, there will be many inconveniences among people.
Simply live outside and be happy in peace and freedom.
"Then...that's okay."
Seeing this, Old Charles could only nod in agreement.
While the two were dining, more tourists came down from upstairs one after another, sat in the restaurant on the first floor and started eating breakfast and chatting.
The topics these people talk about are almost all about the recent war.
"Oh, I heard that the entire Great Forest Area was attacked by the federation, and nine cities were all captured... Looking at the reports, it's really tragic!" "It's far more than that! Some surrounding towns have also been affected!"
"It's so tragic, my God! May Omer bless them."
"Who would have thought that those damn 'Romes' He actually crossed the 'Steel Wall Fort' and bombed the border."
"How did you do it?"
"Could it be that there is a loophole in the 'Steel Wall Fortress' that the Federation took advantage of?"
"Fart!"
"This is completely a retaliatory attack! Regardless of the life and death of civilians, right? We Imperial people are committing indiscriminate massacres... Damn it. I hope the head of state can organize forces as soon as possible to make them pay the price!"
"It's time to teach those hypocritical guys in the Federation a lesson!"
The passengers were talking to each other, but the atmosphere was quite solemn.
It can be seen that this war initiated by the Federation without authorization has caused heavy damage to the empire's borders, and countless people in the empire are worried about it.
Old Charles and Gilan ate their breakfast quietly, making a tacit agreement not to discuss this topic.
After the two of them finished eating, Gilan packed another set meal, took it upstairs himself, and delivered it to Miss Sparrow's bedside.

Time changed and two days passed.
Old Charles drove his car into the outer suburbs of Museciti, covered in dust.
This new form of transportation developed by the Mechanics Guild has even better endurance than the cars that Jilan knew.
On the way, I only refueled with gasoline once, but I drove for more than five days, crossing two states and covering more than 5,000 kilometers.
Gillan speculated that this should be due to the new energy "whale oil battery".
As a vehicle energy source, the whale oil battery used is different from the "A1 model" we have seen before, but the "C2 model", which is larger in size, about the size of a bucket, and of course, more expensive. .
According to old Charles, a C2 whale oil battery requires 6 Caesars.
This is not a luxury item that ordinary people can afford or use.
Jilan looked at the passing scenery outside the window, her messy blond hair being blown up by the wind.
In the distance, a group of high-rise buildings can be vaguely seen.
The closer to the center, the taller the buildings become, and the overall shape is triangular. There is even a building that looks like a hundred stories, located in the center line, standing like a straight spear in the bright sunshine.
He also saw that on the outskirts of the city, two rivers, the east and the west, intersected to form an "X". The urban agglomeration was built at the central intersection. There are seven or eight spectacular bridges on the spacious river.
Horse carriages and pedestrians were mixed with a few cars, making it very lively.
"Master, the intersection of the 'White Tail River' from northwest to southeast and the 'Xixikeri River' from northeast to southwest divides the capital into four regions. We will pass through the 'Gate of Glory' from the Fifth Bridge ', enter 'Northern Muse'"
Old Charles smiled and explained when he saw the capital city so close.
“The manor of Earl Farhan is in North Muse.”
As he spoke, he slowed down the car and drove onto the main road leading to the bridge. Various styles of cars gradually appeared around him. carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Old Charles gave Gilan a general introduction to the situation in the capital while driving.
It turns out that North Muse is the aristocratic district of the capital. Most dignitaries and nobles live in that area. Even the most famous colleges in the empire are mostly concentrated in the North District.
East and West Muse are business districts, with various companies, shopping malls and market buildings everywhere. The headquarters of the Machinery Union is located in East Muse.
South Muse is a poor area, crowded and chaotic, with a mixture of good and bad. High walls and fences have been built on the east and west banks of the river to the north, and local police officers patrol on a regular basis to prevent residents from the southern district from sneaking across.
The central area is particularly special. It is located in the center of the four areas, just like the point in the middle of the "X". Also known as the "Triumph District", although it is small in area, it is the administrative core of the entire empire. The 100-story Triumph Building is a landmark building and a wonder.
After listening to Old Charles’s introduction, Gilan had a rough idea.
He turned his head and glanced at Miss Sparrow, who was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a mask, long sleeves and trousers, and wrapped herself tightly.
Miss Sparrow was looking at the city in the distance with a daze in her eyes.
"Don't worry." Jilan said. "I will arrange a place for you, and everything will be fine."
Miss Sparrow withdrew her gaze and looked at him.
Soon, a pair of eyes without eyebrows and eyelashes narrowed into crescent moons.
“Yeah.”
