Return Home

After lying in bed for a while, Tucci flipped over and got out of bed.

Outside the courtyard wall of the bedroom, there were faint voices shouting. It seems that someone is gathering the crowd. It's very lively.

Tucci knows that his father is currently leading a guard to capture and hunt down fugitives in his territory.

A group of fugitives who ran in from unknown places have robbed and killed more than ten households in the past few days, causing panic throughout the entire territory.

The Odis Knight was ordered to lead his guard and scatter around searching.

Pushing open the bedroom door, there is a small gray courtyard with a small pond outside. It looks a bit desolate, with green weeds scattered in clusters from east to west.

Two team members guarding outside were standing by the pond talking when they saw Tucci coming out. Hurriedly walked over and saluted respectfully.

These are two members of the Baron's Guard, both middle-aged men of various sizes and tall stature.

"Master Selas, are you awake?" a bearded team member muttered in a muffled voice. He was wearing thick yellow full body armor and carrying a huge axe on his back. Give people an exceptionally strong feeling.

The other person is thin in stature, only wearing half body leather armor, but his eyes are calm and he looks very agile, with a cross sword hanging from his waist.

Tucci's gaze swept over the body of the cross sword and saw that there were still dark red bloodstains remaining on it. My eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"Did Uncle Odis ask you to come over?" Tucci asked.

"Yes, after we send you back to the castle, we have to rush back to the guards as soon as possible. Time may be a bit tight, so let's leave first," the thinner man said in a deep voice.

Tucci nodded.

"It seems that there is intelligence about that group of fugitives, right?"

The thinner man nodded.

"I discovered their temporary stronghold this morning, and Captain has already surrounded them with his brothers."

"Okay, I'll go change clothes first."

Tucci went back to the room and changed into his pajamas, then came out with the two of them and left this temporary resting place.

This residence is only a temporary lodging place for their family to visit the town, and the conditions are not good, so it is naturally not suitable for recuperation.

Out of the residence. Outside is a bustling street. Everyone was wearing dusty linen clothes, and the whole street looked dirty.

Some vendors were shouting loudly on the street. There are stalls selling fruits, wooden toys, and vegetables. Some women carrying baskets come and go in the stalls.

Tucci walked out of the courtyard gate of his residence and suddenly realized the difference between himself and the people around him.

Unlike everyone on the street, he is not wearing gray clothes. But black. But soon he also understood.

In this world, except for the nobility, all commoners can only wear gray, and clothes with colors can only be worn by the nobility. This is privilege. If someone dares to disobey, they are likely to be directly sentenced to death. The nature is very serious. And even for nobles, there are some colors that can only be used by dividing them into levels.

The three of them spoke casually as they walked. Tucci noticed that when the pedestrians around him saw him, they would respectfully bow slightly and show a respectful expression on their face. This made him feel like a lion walking in a flock of sheep.

"What's wrong? Young Master Seras" The thinner man smiled.

After a conversation, Tucci also learned their names. The slimmer man's name is Katar. He was originally an adventurer living nearby, but he was later recruited into the guard and was considered lucky. You should know that adventurers are simply synonymous with unemployed vagrants in real life. The status is very low. Entering the Guard is equivalent to being a public security bureau on Earth, not only with a significant increase in status, but also with a series of benefits

And the strong one is called Milo, a resident of the Rio Baron who was born and raised. It can be considered as a natural talent with strong strength.

Without waiting for Tucci to answer, Katar smiled on his own and said, "Yes, Candia City is much bigger than here." He picked up one from a tomato stall on the roadside and took a hard bite, regardless of the vendor's unpleasant expression.

Tucci frowned slightly and remained silent.

It can be seen from this behavior of taking things without giving money that the family's guard is probably notorious and arrogant in the territory.

But he himself was not the same before.

The three of them chatted casually and quickly left the town along the street. Outside the fence, a black carriage was waiting by the roadside. The groom saw three people coming and quickly got off the car, waiting on the side.

The three of them got into the carriage, driven by Carter, and ran straight towards the main road.

It took over twenty minutes to reach the destination along the road. That is the headquarters of the Rio family - Kyle Castle.

Carefully getting off the carriage, Tucci looked up at the castle ahead.

Between a green forest, a building resembling a previous estate appeared in front of him.

A moat has been dug around the entire Kyle Castle, more like a small town surrounded by high walls than a castle.

The gray earthen castle looks completely less formal than Tucci's imagined castle. At most equivalent to the height of a five story small building, in front of the gate where the moat was lowered, two guards carrying iron swords were guarding, looking towards this side in confusion.

The afternoon sunset dyed the entire castle red. An unknown fragrance of flowers drifted over from somewhere.

Tucci took a deep breath, it was almost evening, and the temperature had also cooled down a bit.

"Is Uncle Ward here?" he whispered.

The card on one side said, "Yes, since it has arrived, let's go back first."

Tucci nodded. Watching the two of them turn around and drive the carriage back. Quickly disappeared on the main road. Then he lifted his foot and walked towards the earthen castle.

An elderly man with gray hair wearing a black robe was approaching from the earthen castle, with several maidservants and guards behind him.

"Uncle Ward, I'm back," Tucci said loudly. Accelerate your pace.

Uncle Ward is a butler under Baron Kyle who specializes in managing the general affairs of his territory. He has been with the Rio family for decades, and it is said that even his father Baron Kyle grew up under his supervision.

"I have long told Lord Odis to teach the young master, but Lord Baron refused to listen. Now that the young master is injured, if he had listened to me earlier..." The somewhat emaciated old man began to mutter to himself as he approached.

Tucci walked into the castle with a habitual smile on his face and a group of people.

After complaining for a while, Uncle Ward suddenly stopped talking.

"By the way, young master, don't go back this time. Just study with Lord Odis."

"Is this what Father means?"

"Yes. The situation has been very unstable lately, and we don't trust you to live alone outside. Besides, you have suffered so much this time, even Viscount Candia must give us an explanation." Uncle Ward's tone was fierce.

"I don't mind," Tucci nodded.

Two people and two maids entered the earthen castle hall together.

Two young girls wearing white dresses were waiting in front of them. Upon seeing Uncle Ward bringing Tucci in, both girls cautiously lifted their skirts and saluted Tucci.

"Seras brother."

"Cyril and Maggie," Tucci's memory quickly recalled who these two were.

One is Seras's half sister, Cyril, and the daughter of a poor relative of the Rio family, Maggie, who came to seek refuge in the downfall of the distant family. Both of them are younger than Seras, so they call him brother.

Due to Seras's high status in the family, children like them are very careful with him.

After all, there are still many people like them in the castle. Moreover, Cyril is not valued by the Baron, and her status is relatively good. She can receive a certain share of monthly expenses and has dedicated personnel to serve him with household chores. The status is similar to that of a maidservant.

Maggie, on the other hand, is much lower. In the castle, her parents still need to work for the baron to earn a certain salary to make a living, equivalent to a slightly higher status domestic servant. There are many relatives like their family who have defected to the castle. It's not worth mentioning at all.

"I haven't seen you for a long time," Tucci smiled. He had a good relationship with the two of them before, because they were considered to have good looks and figures in the castle. Therefore, when he occasionally met them, he also took good care of the two sisters. This made these two people think they had found a support, and naturally they were willing to get close to Seras.

"I heard you were injured, so we are waiting here. I wonder if you are feeling better?" Maggie took the initiative to say. Her voice is very tender, but the thirteen year old girl has already developed quite maturely. Tucci's figure is curvaceous, with a slightly coquettish face, slender waist, and towering chest, which made Tucci's gaze linger on her for a while longer.

Maggie seemed to also feel Tucci's gaze, her face slightly blushing, but she took the initiative to straighten her chest and let Tucci scan. But he pretended not to pay attention on his face.

In contrast, Cyril on one side was a bit too shy and underdeveloped compared to Maggie. She was more like a young deer, timidly peeking at Seras, her hands stirring together in her lower abdomen, looking a bit uneasy. Compared to Maggie, she is also a pure beauty.

Originally, when Tucci returned to the castle, it was impossible for them to be the only ones to greet him. It is estimated that both of them had some ulterior motives, knowing that they would come out early to show their close relationship with Tucci in the eyes of those around them. Of course, this may also be the guidance of their parents behind them.

Tucci nodded.

"It's already much better, don't worry" he casually chatted with the two girls.

Uncle Ward, who was originally standing aside, quietly left to handle other affairs.

Tucci, led by two young girls, walked into the inner hall and received respectful greetings from most of the castle's people before finally having a complete rest.

Go back to his own unique bedroom.

Tucci finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

In the bedroom, apart from the bed, there is a writing desk with a goose yellow parchment roll on top. A feather pen is casually placed on one side of the ink bottle, and the mountain shaped candlestick sparkles with a light yellow light. Simultaneously emitting a faint wax oil odor.

Tucci pulled open the chair on the writing desk and sat down. Glancing at the sheepskin roll.
