Chapter 562: It is rumored that Lord Wood likes someone older than himself?
"Ah, I am Wood, yes. I want to go in to find Alice, and also visit Mrs. Hilda. Can this elder brother inform me?"
Even when facing a guard, Wood still maintains full etiquette. This is the influence and upbringing brought by his mother Senis and Lilia since childhood.
Seeing that Wood was so polite to one of his guards, the doorman of the Boreas family also showed a flattered expression and said: "Mr. Wood is too polite, you don't need to be so polite to me, I'm just introducing him."
Just people.
Moreover, Mrs. Hilda has already given instructions. If Mr. Wood arrives, there is no need to notify you at all. This is your home, and you don’t need so many rules when you return to your own home."
Seeing the rumored Miss Alice's fiancé, the guard's expression was quite exciting at the moment.
He didn't know Wood, but these days, there was not a lot of talk about Wood in the Boreas mansion.
In the past, the Boreas family was considered to be an upper-class noble in the Kingdom of Asra, but it was far from reaching the level where even royal family members from various countries rush to visit them now.
And the servants of Boreas Mansion also know that Boreas's change comes entirely from his uncle Wood, whom they have never met, and the seventeen-year-old genius sword emperor Miss Alice.
They have already met Miss Alice. A few years have passed, and although Miss Alice has grown up a lot, her personality has not changed much from when she was a child.
However, as for Wood, because he only lived in the Boreas family temporarily for a period of time, most of the servants of the Boreas family still did not know Wood.
As for how the guard recognized Wood, it was because Hilda considered that this situation would happen, so she took out Wood's portrait in advance and asked the servants at home to identify it.
And it was also because of this that the servants of Boreas met their legendary fiancé, Miss Alice.
The Boreas family used to remember Wood's servants, but under their various encouragements, Wood's settings began to become more and more outrageous.
At the beginning, the story version about Wood was quite normal. For example, at only eight years old, he had mastered a very high level of magic, and was able to fight even with the Sword King, Sir Kirenu, without falling behind.
He has extremely excellent etiquette standards, even the court etiquette master is inferior to him.
He is also considerate and gentle, and was rated by Mrs. Hilda as the child with the purest smile in the world.
The above comments and stories about Wood are quite normal. Although they are a bit exaggerated, they are not outrageous.
But as Wood's reputation grew in the Boreas family, an outrageous version of the story emerged.
Why is Wood already very good at swaying women's heartstrings at the age of eight? Mrs. Hilda used to hate Lord Wood, but in the end she was killed by Lord Wood's affection.
Lady Hilda likes flowers. Lady Wood, who was only eight years old at the time, killed her way through the Warcraft Forest in order to collect the rare "Flower of Morning"!
What else is there? Lord Wood is said to be the strongest human being in this world. Not only is he a brother-in-law with the Demon King, but even the legendary Dragon God is no match for Lord Wood.
"Just take me here, I know the rest of the way myself." He was led into Boreas' house by Boreas's guards. Wood naturally attracted the attention of other servants along the way.
Because they had all seen Wood's portrait from Mrs. Hilda, they all recognized Wood at this moment and started talking about it.
Wood's five senses are much stronger than ordinary people, so even if they are just whispers, he can hear them clearly at this moment. Although he is thick-skinned enough, he did not expect that the rumors about him in the Boreas family have reached such a level.
It's outrageous.
The Dragon God is no match for him at all? If that guy Olstead hears these words, the arrogant Dragon God might start squaring off with him again.
Just as the guards left, the servants of the Boreas family, who were already curious about Wood, also stepped forward to surround him and asked: "Have you been in contact with Mr. Wood? Mr. Wood.
Is it as strong and gentle as the rumors say?"
"Isn't that for sure! I don't know Lord Wood's specific strength, but just walking beside him, I felt my skin trembling.
And despite having such amazing strength, Lord Wood did not look down on me as a guard at all, and even treated me with courtesy. Just like the rumors, he is a true noble Lord.
By the way, Mr. Wood also said that no matter what kind of profession one is engaged in, one's background may be high or low, but whether one's own soul is great or not is determined by oneself.
Although I don’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, it doesn’t stop me from thinking that Mr. Wood is a very knowledgeable person.”
Wood, who hadn't gone far yet, couldn't help but was speechless and raised his forehead when he heard what the guard just said. He didn't know what Mrs. Hilda and Alice had done. Now the entire Boreas family seemed to be confused.
I have become his crazy fan.
"If the rumors about Lord Wood being powerful and gentle are true, then maybe those secrets are also true."
Wood, who was originally planning to walk away, couldn't help but stop when he heard what a maid said at this moment. He was also a little curious about what his so-called "secret" was.
"Oh oh oh, that's what you're talking about, right? It's said that Mr. Wood likes people of the opposite sex who are older than him.
It was also for this reason that Mr. Wood, who was eight years old at the time, ventured alone to the World of Warcraft Forest to pick flowers for Ms. Hilda.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Wood married Mr. Alice, who is two years older than himself."
"Yes, yes, Lord Wood is now fifteen years old, and I am also seventeen this year. It is impossible to become Lord Wood's wife, but I don't know if there is any hope of becoming Lord Wood's lover.
It’s normal for nobles to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention Lord Wood is such a powerful person, I really envy Lady Alice.”
Wood, who originally wanted to hear his "secret", almost fell to the ground when he heard the conversation between these maids. He never thought that the so-called secret was that he was a "royal sister control"? Or was it purely
"Sister control"?
Wood wanted to go forward and tell these people what they thought of him, but as soon as he took a step forward, he realized that if he went out now, wouldn't it prove that he had been eavesdropping?
Helpless, Wood finally had no choice but to silently accept the sister-controlled setting. In the end, he originally wanted to visit his father-in-law first, but saw the troubled Phillip and made his previous proposal.
He didn't want to be too public about his wedding to Alice, and only invited a few of his friends and relatives. It was just Wood's wish.
Now that the human god has died, the Graylat family will naturally choose to continue living in seclusion in the small village.
There are endless things to take care of in this world, and their family is not a so-called superhero. They do not accept the idea that with great power comes greater responsibility, because that is the job of a savior.
In every previous life simulation, Wood could not survive until the end. This time, after killing the big BOSS, he was still able to survive with great difficulty. Wood just wanted to spend the rest of his life well in this world and end this simulation by dying.
Life.
But considering that the Boreas family and Paul's original Notos family can be considered their direct relatives, it seemed a bit inappropriate to only invite the La Torrea family from his mother Senise's side to the wedding and not invite them.
It's humane, so Wood made the current proposal.
"Wood, are you telling the truth? This really helped me a lot.
Don’t worry, all the preparations for the other banquet venue will be left to our Boreas family, and you only need to organize the wedding in Buena Village."
After hearing Wood's promise, Phillip was naturally very happy. Those who wanted to attend the wedding were drunkards who didn't care about drinking. It would be fine as long as Wood or Dragon God could show up.
And the Boreas family will not offend the whole world because of too many rejections.
After leaving Philip's study, Wood went to meet his mother-in-law Hilda and his fiancée Alice.
She hadn't seen Wood for several years. When Mrs. Hilda saw Wood, she lost her previous dignity and generosity, and ran over and just hugged Wood.
“My Wood has really grown up a lot. It used to be only as high as my chest, but now it’s almost as tall as me.
I was quite envious of Senis before, for having such an excellent and obedient child like you. Now, as long as you marry Alice, you will also be my legitimate child."
Hilda had been very fond of Wood a few years ago, especially after she was rescued by Wood in the Land of Chaos, and she had always been envious and jealous of Senis.
Every mother naturally hopes that her child will protect her like a guardian angel, and Senise is undoubtedly the happiest mother in the world.
"Mother, is the value of my existence just to make Wood your real child?
And have you forgotten that I am your child, and Wood is just your son-in-law.
And let me go quickly, Wood, he is my fiancé, doesn’t Mother know about the rumors in the family? If those servants see it, I don’t know what outrageous rumors will appear again."
Alice was very happy that Wood could come to visit her, but when she saw her mother hugging Wood before she could, Alice's pretty face suddenly drooped.
It's obvious that even her own mother, Alice is jealous at this moment, because she is clearly Wood's fiancée...
"Huh? Isn't my son-in-law considered my child? And the rumors spread outside are not entirely false.
When Wood was a child, he went to the Warcraft Forest alone to pick flowers for his mother. Wood was really lovable at that time.
What's wrong? Didn't Wood do anything special for Alice? That's really a shame, but I guess it must be because Alice isn't ladylike enough.
After all, beautiful flowers are given to ladies, and Alice, you probably prefer swords to flowers."
After hearing what Hilda said, Alice, who was already a little jealous, now became even more jealous.
After thinking for a long time, she found that she seemed to have no excuse to refute, so she could only forcefully separate her mother and Wood. Then she looked at Wood with a look of regret and reluctance and said, "Wood, you go find Kirenu first. I
The etiquette class is about to begin."
Wood: "(~_~;) Etiquette course? But isn't it just because you can't stand the so-called aristocratic etiquette, that's why you wrote a letter asking me to come over..."
Alice: "Only ladies deserve to receive flowers, right? Anyway, I have to learn etiquette now. Please leave quickly and don't disturb my study."
Wood left with a confused look on his face. Before leaving, he clearly saw the proud smirk on Mrs. Hilda's face.
Good guy, your mother is still your mother. Although Alice can fight a hundred Hildas in terms of combat power, in other aspects... she is completely eaten up by her own mother.
A week passed, and the wedding of Wood and Alice was held as scheduled.
Today, Roja City in the Fitoya territory has also put the entire city on alert. Some ordinary people who originally lived in the city have also been temporarily relocated to other places.
Because today is an important day for the eldest lady of the Boreas family, the lord of Fetoa territory, to get married.
The reason why the whole city was cleared was not because of the Boreas family's pretense, but because there were too many people invited to attend the wedding, and their backgrounds were too big.
Although Philip did arrange another wedding venue with Wood's promise, considering that there were so many people who wanted to participate in this wedding, Philip also carefully selected some heavyweight guests and relatives.
But when the wedding day was officially released, there were not a few nobles who came uninvited. They all came with gifts. Even if they were not among the invited ones, the Boreas family could not do it.
Let's get out of here.
If this is really done, then the Boreas family will really become the target of public criticism.
At the beginning, Philip only planned to use the entire Boreas mansion as the wedding venue. However, when he discovered that there was an endless stream of nobles from various countries entering the city, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter and began to investigate the situation in the city.
Civilians were evacuated.
Nowadays, among the various hotels and taverns in Loya City, among the guests who come and go, if you pick up any one of them, the other person may be an earl, marquis or even a duke of a certain kingdom.
As for the existence of people below the count? I'm sorry, although nobles of this level can come and join in the fun, at this stage, it is simply a luxury to stay in one of the few hotels or taverns in Roja City.
And those who can stay in the guest rooms of the Boreas Mansion are only the royal families of various countries, as well as direct relatives of the Boreas family and the Notos family.
