Chapter 30 The Princess of the Lion Family

The third generation of the Jibril family built this quaint old house with a history of more than 400 years.

The door that had been sealed for a long time was slowly opened, and the whole body was made of a single piece of granite.

Various beams and columns are used as basic components, supplemented by a variety of pillars that are essential for Western architecture, with the theme of construction that is neither magnificent nor majestic.

"It is more like a temple, palace or fortress than a residence."

From the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I briefly returned to the world of SEED.

Standing on the fifth floor terrace of the old house, I looked at the servants who were making final repairs in the courtyard.

Rhodes complained to Major Strogen who had followed him back.

As for why it wasn't Lieutenant Colonel Kane.

Because we still need to stay in that world and keep an eye on the progress of various plans.

Since he had no interest in this kind of thing, he directly rejected Rhodes' invitation.

"Master, after all, this is an old house built by the three generations of ancestors who led the Jibril family into a new stage."

"It can be said that it is a historical cultural relic that has been passed down to this day. Compared with today, it may not be able to keep up with the aesthetics of the times."

"But the meaning of its own existence represents to a greater extent the heritage and symbol of your family."

Listening to the major's persuasion and the reasons he stated.

It's not that Rhodes didn't understand why he said slightly disrespectful words towards his ancestors.

It was more out of dissatisfaction with his brother Jibril for making decisions without authorization.

But it requires Rhodes to do things like escape from marriage or refuse marriage.

Since his birth, he has enjoyed the honor brought by his family and a wealthy and luxurious life.

With Rhode's personality, he couldn't shout like that.

If you want love, you must be free, and not familial.

Just because I have enjoyed it, it is for the glory of the family.

As those with vested interests, we should have the awareness to lose certain aspects.

"So, who is my unmasked fiancée? Which family does she come from?"

Rhodes, who was mentally prepared, changed the topic and asked again.

He did his homework all night yesterday.

I am very familiar with the names, biographies, and backgrounds of all the guests today.

Even so, with Rhodes' IQ.

I was stunned and didn't guess which family's girl would become his wife to spend the rest of his life with.

Don't be surprised, if it were anyone else who came over, he wouldn't be able to guess it.

There are really too many candidates with suitable backgrounds. If the requirements were lowered, the number of candidates would be even greater.

"Miss Cagalli Yura Asha."

"That is, the highest representative of the Orb Chief State, the only daughter of Uzmi Yura Asghar."

With a calm expression, the Major named a character that made Rhodes want to break his head but would not put him on his fiancée list.

"What did you say?"

Rhodes, who was extremely surprised by this name, turned around and stared at the major who was dressed formally today behind him.

Wearing a traditional Scottish plaid pattern and simple hand-cut cutting, it reflects the perfect gentleman's demeanor.

The major looked a little strange and thought Rhodes didn't hear clearly.

"Master, the other party is Miss Cagalli."

The major bowed slightly and spoke again.

From top to bottom, left to right, inside and outside.

He looked at Major Strunggen carefully again.

Rhodes' eyes fell on the inconspicuous buttons on his cuffs.

Where... the family crest of the Jibril family is clearly imprinted.

No wonder he kept calling me Young Master today, and no wonder I looked at his clothes today and saw that he didn’t have any military temperament at all.

Although it is very decent, it also has a feeling that cannot be described as weird.

Now think about it, isn't this just a real butler?

I see.

"Brother has placed many personnel in the army."

Rhodes said with some emotion, he understood.

"Yes, my lord, Director Jibril does have wide connections in the military."

"But this is also the result of many years of hard work by the Jibril family."

With a timeless tone, the major confirmed Rhodes's conjecture.

"Ah……"

A chuckle floated by the wind.

Most of the banquets were held in the evening, perhaps because of the protection of the night.

Only then can it be more convenient to do things in the dark that are inconvenient to do during the day.

The old house of the Jibril family is brightly lit.

Various rare modern luxury cars, or those that maintain the appearance of antique cars.

The interior of the car had been changed beyond recognition, and a number of upper-class people with exquisite make-up and well-dressed clothes got out of the car.

A few people who were acquaintances by chance saw each other and raised their hands to say hello, even if they were rivals who usually fought to the death.

On this day and in this place, I also put aside my usual tense attitude, and nodded and smiled with a smile.

Those who arrived early were naturally welcomed into the old house. Under the three-story vault was a spacious and open hall.

Although there were many people here today, there was no feeling of crowding in this hall at all.

In a corner of the hall, the world-famous symphony orchestra is playing melodious minor tunes under the conductor's baton.

The delicacies prepared on site were placed on the long table in categories with the efforts of the waiters.

Lobsters from Oceania, matsutake foie gras from Gaul, caviar from Lucia, etc. are quietly waiting for guests to take them.

As the guests arrived one by one, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Outside the old house of the Rhodes family, on a specially built high-grade highway.

A fleet of futuristic technology is driving at high speed.

In a stretch car in the motorcade, a father and daughter were sitting face to face.

He pulled the ribbon tied around his neck and pressed down the fluttering skirt around his waist.

The irritability in the girl's heart was clearly displayed on her face.

Looking at his beloved daughter, he sent someone to catch her when she tried to escape not long ago.

Surprisingly, my father didn't show any shame.

"Is this what you call Orb's philosophy?"

The girl who felt uncomfortable everywhere, after adjusting her clothes for a while.

Seeing that the old father was sitting tight and showing no signs of expression at all, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Marrying me to the second son of the Gibril family of the Atlantic Federation is the choice you made for Orb?"

"The current head of the Jibril family is too old, and his younger brother is about the same age as you."

"Given our family status, this is the best choice for you, and also for Orb."

The father who answered the girl's question was Uzmi, Orb's highest representative.

It goes without saying that the girl's identity is the other protagonist of today's banquet - Cagalli!

Looking at the old father's normal expression, and his tone of voice that was just for your benefit.

Cagalli has never looked like a girl since she was a child and usually behaves like a tomboy.

How could one honestly accept such a reason?

"Didn't you say you wanted to protect Orb? Do you know that the coalition forces, with the Atlantic Federation as the main body, are currently at war with PLAND on Earth in the universe?"

"By doing this, aren't you telling PLAND in the universe that Orb is preparing to form an alliance with the Federation?"

"You are simply dragging Orb into the war! You liar! You talk about protecting Orb, but in the end, you are just an Ashar who can only tell lies!"
