Hyperion walked through the open door of the room. The interior was as elegant and luxurious as the lounge. In the center was a large bed covered with a silk quilt embroidered with imperial classical patterns. Along one side of the wall was a spacious long table connected to the cabinet and a cotton-padded chair, on which were placed various magical devices for daily life.
At the same time, Michela's voice sounded again in front of Hyperion.
"You are so beautiful. Don't let others look down on our Milford family. A countess should act like a countess."
Michela still looked at Hyperion without a smile on her face.
On the sofa behind Michelle were several brand new gift boxes from the store, which seemed to contain some winter clothes and jewelry unique to the Milford Jewelry Store.
"Is this... for me?"
Hyperion was unsure for a moment, her lips slightly parted in surprise, and she pointed at the gifts.
"I didn't buy you much because I was afraid you wouldn't like it."
Seeing Hyperion's hesitation, Michela nodded in confirmation.
"Thank you, Michella..."
Hyperion was surprised and a little touched.
She suddenly felt the similarities between Michella and Earl Milford.
"In our family, we must follow the rules. If you feel there is a problem with the rules, you can bring it up and we can have a meeting to discuss it together."
Michela said to her when she saw that Hyperion didn't seem so nervous anymore.
"it is good."
Hyperion listened patiently to Michela speaking sensible words in a lecturing manner.
"We eat at 6pm in our family. Don't be late, or else Dad, Mom, and I will wait for you to arrive before we start eating."
Michela continued to explain the rules of their family to Hyperion.
"……OK."
Hyperion thought for a moment and realized that the consequence of being late was that the whole family would have to wait for her.
"Also, our family is not allowed to discriminate against people with demon blood, whether it is the servants in our house or my mother and me."
After Michela finished speaking, she thought about it and nodded, meaning that there were basically no other rules.
"understood."
Hyperion nodded.
There was no reason for her to discriminate against demons, and the Milford family unexpectedly had fewer rules than she had imagined.
Now she used the ancient demon technology [Transformation: Human] that she and Lanci obtained in the Purgatory Corridor Academy. Even the Empire could not detect that she was half-demon. In fact, in the Protoss Empire, disguising one's race in this way is a capital crime.
Hyperion cannot confess to Michela that she is actually half-demon, and in Michela's eyes, Hyperion is just a pure human.
Seeing Hyperion's straightforward response, Michela looked away again.
"It's a good thing you're only staying in this house for a week."
She frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
"..."
Hyperion's heart, which had just warmed up, cooled down again.
As expected, as an outsider who suddenly came to Michela's house, I would be despised and excluded by her.
However, Michela looked around Hyperion's room.
"This room is too small. My father is so stupid that he actually let you stay in the guest room... But we will be going to Helrom in a week, so you just have to make do with it."
Michela complained with the corner of her mouth, obviously dissatisfied with her father's arrangement.
"..."
Hyperion's eyes felt a little sore. When she was the duchess of Ikerite, she didn't have a stepsister who was so kind to her.
On the contrary, after coming to the Northern Continent and becoming a priest without noble status, he always felt all kinds of warmth.
Michela is a good child, but she has some problems expressing herself because of her father's serious look.
All in all, the Milford family are good people.
"Don't embarrass me when you go to the imperial capital."
Michela said as she looked at Hyperion's slightly fragile appearance.
"Ah."
Hyperion just responded softly this time.
"If we are picked on by the Milford family, we must fight back. If anyone dares to bully you, call me."
It turns out that “not to lose face” means that you must fight back if you are bullied.
Hyperion gradually began to understand how to understand Michela's meaning.
Although Michela is only at the second level, she obviously has the confidence of a countess in Protoss Academy.
This feeling of being cared for reminded Hyperion of the time when she first entered Ikerit Academy.
At that time, everyone was very unfriendly to me, and there were even some annoying people who actively came to cause trouble for me.
But in the past at Ikrit Academy, there was also someone who always protected me...
Would it be the same if he was at the Protoss Royal School of Magic?
"..."
Hyperion shook her head and ended her fantasy time.
"Don't worry, Michella. I'm very strong."
Hyperion looked at Michela and said with a confident grin.
She first trained with Lanqi for a semester, then received instruction from Tata, and underwent more than a month of special training from the Ice Witch. Now she is different from when she first entered school and was bullied.
"Then I'm relieved. Anyway, if you meet someone who deserves to be punished, you should beat him up. Our family can afford to pay the compensation, so don't be afraid of causing trouble for your father."
Michela nodded and said.
Although she was not good at expressing herself, she had a unique talent for emotional recognition and could feel that her sister was a very pure person. She was afraid that she would be bullied in Helrom, a place where materialism was rampant and people were cold and ruthless.
The two seemed to have finished their greetings and fell silent for a moment.
There was still no expression on Michela's face, making it difficult for Hyperion to guess her mood or what she wanted to express.
"By the way, Michela, have you ever heard of a man named Rocky?"
Hyperion asked tentatively.
She has been thinking about this matter for a long time.
She wanted to wait until the next time she saw Earl Milford to ask him alone. She didn't want the three gods to know Lanqi's alias and whereabouts in the northern continent. The conditions of those three people must not get worse.
Now is a good time to ask Michela. She has been to the imperial capital Helrom many times and may know more about the situation in the south.
"Rocky? I've never heard of him. What's your relationship with him? Does he have any characteristics? Do you need me to help you find him?"
Michela raised her eyebrows and asked back.
Facing Michela's cold yet passionate questions, Hyperion just shook her head and waved her hands.
"He's a friend I lost contact with for a long time. I'll look for him when we get to the capital."
She felt relieved after hearing Michelle's answer.
Hyperion couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seems that Lanqi really didn't become famous in the Northwestern Province, that's a good thing.
Although there is still a certain information lag between the Northwestern Province and the imperial capital Helrom due to the news blockade in the north, at least more than a month ago, Lanqi was not famous in the imperial capital or the south.
"It's okay. I know someone at Helrom Broadcasting Company. We can just post a missing person notice and we'll definitely find him."
Although Misura didn't know what kind of person the man her cousin was thinking about was, as long as he was in the Protoss Empire, they would be able to find him when they went to the imperial capital, Helrom.
"I'll see what your vision is like then, sister."
Seeing Hyperion's reaction, Michela felt that this was definitely the person her sister liked.
If one wants to marry the eldest daughter of Milford, then the man must have made some achievements in the empire and be ambitious, ambitious and talented.
She will help her sister keep a close eye on things.
"Mishra, you seem to have misunderstood something...?"
It was difficult for Hyperion to read Michela's subtle expressions.
But she couldn't tell Michela the story of her and Lanqi in the southern continent.
But Hyperion didn't know why.
After arriving in the Northern Continent, the people and things I met were all filled with emotion and beauty.
Hyperion could only sigh in relief and look to the other side of the large room.
There was still a drizzle outside the window, as if it was the sound of time. In this quiet and cozy room, she looked through the glass at the mottled lights in the rain and fog in the courtyard.
The ordinary scenery gave me a new feeling.
Everything is just right, and people are inspired from the bottom of their hearts.
Even though the future imperial capital of Helrom is full of unknowns and dangers, Hyperion feels full of strength.
Looking forward to it, after it's all over.
The moment I met him again.
Chapter 341 Lanqi is also a peaceful life
The northern border of the Protoss Empire.
The city of Dandelun, located between the Empire's Northern Border Province and the Snowfield Province, is situated between two towering mountains and on a short snow-covered plain.
This independent town is shrouded in ice and snow most of the year, with short hours of sunlight. Like most city-states on the northern border, the nights are longer than the days.
Due to the abundance of resources around, scholars, hunters, prospectors, adventurers and other travelers from the Snowfield Province often stop by to rest.
