The Principality of Verbalu is a vassal state of the Casg Empire, with an area of ​​about one-quarter of the Casg Empire.

Originally, this was the fief of the Honeysuckle family. Because the current Duke of Honeysuckle, Lega Lantes, made great contributions to the Kasg Empire, the emperor allowed him to establish the Duchy of Verbalu on his fiefdom.

As the king, the Duke of Honeysuckle was still the Duke of the Casg Empire, but because of his great contributions and high status, he was called the Grand Duke of Honeysuckle.

The Principality of Verbalu is not too far from the Casg Empire. It takes about ten days to get there from the royal capital Hesler on a horse.

Of course, if Selena was taken to fly, it would be possible to tell in two days.

The climate of the Principal of Verbalu is a bit hotter, and there are many types of plants here, which is a place with beautiful mountains, rivers, birds and flowers.

Although Selena and Nitia have known each other since childhood, this is the first time they have come to her house.

The two of them rode on horses on the grass that had begun to turn slightly yellow, feeling the breeze that had not yet completely cooled down.

After returning home, Niteya no longer wore an alchemist's short cloak and a spire hat, but instead replaced it with a small dress with wavy lace on the cuffs and neckline.

Selena has learned various combat skills since she was a child. She has long been unable to wear skirts, and she still dresses like leather jackets, trousers and boots.

"The environment here is really good!" Selena looked at the openness in front of her.

"It's okay," Nitia also looked around, "There has basically not changed much over the years, and I don't like this kind of place very much."

"I knew you when I was six years old, but I remember that you didn't go home very much." Selena turned her head and said.

"Uh... I really haven't told you," Niteya rarely showed a very complicated expression, "My father...he...a little..."

Seeing Nitia's appearance, Selena couldn't help but frown.

You should know that Nitia is a person who is calm at all times. She can basically be very calm no matter what she faces, and always looks calm and composed.

But now he actually showed such a complex expression, which is usually the one that only happens when encountering helpless things.

Is there anything that makes Nydia feel helpless? Selena can't imagine it.

…………

After riding a horse and walking among the endless birds and flowers for most of the day, the Honeysuckle family's manor appeared in front of you.

The manor is very large, with a straight line distance from the gate to the castle about five hundred meters.

The castle is a very ordinary rectangular structure, but it has five floors on the top and bottom.

Selena counted the number of windows, and if it doubled, there would be nearly thirty rooms on the first floor.

In the huge courtyard, except for flowers of different colors, the other plants were basically trimmed by the gardener into various animal shapes, and it seemed like they had entered a zoo.

"Your family is really rich!" Selena pulled the reins and gradually slowed down.

Niteya didn't say anything, but shrugged her shoulders to show that she couldn't refuse.

In addition to the fully armed soldiers standing guard at the gate of the manor, there are also soldiers patrolling on horseback.

Seeing two people coming on horseback, a team of ten cavalry came towards him on horseback.

When the two sides were still more than ten meters away, they saw the cavalry captain on the opposite side making a gesture, and everyone quickly dismounted and stood on the side of the road.

When Selena and Nitia came to them, everyone put their fists on their hearts.

"Three Princess! Welcome home!" said the leader of the Cavalier Captain.

"Oh, long time no see!" Netiya pulled the reins, "Are everyone in her family here?"

"Yes, Grandpa, Madam and two princesses are waiting for you to come back!"

"I understand!" Netiya made a gesture and continued to walk forward slowly with Selena. As the knight salute at the door, she walked into the gate of the manor.

…………

On the way here, Selena fantasized about what kind of person was the Grand Duke of Honeysuckle who had made great achievements in the empire for a long time.

He may be a terrifying and unruly person, or he may be insidious and cunning...

However, when I saw it face to face, I found that it was not very suitable for the imagined appearance.

He is over 1.8 meters tall, and the classic combination of a white shirt and black pants makes him look very steady. The waist-hugging dark purple dress makes his figure more straight, which is not fat-free.

He was neatly blonde with his back on his head, and even the gaps left by the comb could be seen. The mustache under his nose showed his maturity.

If there wasn't a scar from the left eyebrow to the right corner of the mouth that added a bit of ferociousness to him, he would have looked like a very gentleman.

The scar on his face also acts as his medal, telling the story of his youth.

This Honeysuckle Grand Duke still maintains the majesty of his youth!

Selena thought so.

However, the next scene made Selina stunned in place, her eyes wide open as if time was still.

"Here you back." Leiga asked expressionlessly as he looked at Nitia who entered the door.

"Well..." Nitia looked desperate, as if she knew what would happen next, "I'm back..."

Lei Jia rushed forward and came directly to Nitia and said that she was holding her in her arms, then directly pressed her face against Nitia's face.

"Oh, my good daughter is back. I miss me so much~~~" Lei Jia kept rubbing Nitia's face with her face, "You don't know how to write letters to your home, so I've always been worried..."

Niteya stood there expressionlessly, letting Leiga deform her left face, and her head moved, obviously she was mentally prepared for this situation.

The wife and two daughters, not far behind, also held their foreheads with their hands, looking exactly like this.

Selena was stunned for a while when she looked at the scene, and finally made her mind return to normal, but she felt embarrassed again.

I looked at the others around me and looked at Nitia, who looked desperate, and thought in my heart whether to fly back directly. It was a mistake to follow me this time.

"Okay, it's almost done!" Netiya finally raised her hand and pushed Leiga's face away, "I'm back with my friends this time!"

"You kid, if you have friends, you don't want your father..." Lei Jia made a look that was about to cry, "I..."

"Let's go, Selena." Nitia turned her head expressionlessly, "Let's go back!"

As he finished speaking, he came over and took Selena's hand and was about to leave.

"No!" Lei Jia rushed over and squatted on the ground and hugged Nitia's thighs. "How could I leave immediately after finally coming back to see me once..."

"release!"

"I don't!"

"Selina, give me the sword!"

"Hey, are you right?" Selena took a step back, "He's..."

"I won't let go even if I cut me down!" Lei Jia shouted.

"It's been passed!" Leiga's wife Tiona ran over and pulled him away, "Nitia, you are really good. You have finally come back and at least you have to wait for the New Year before leaving!"

"If he was a little more normal, I would be willing to come back a few more times a year..." Niteya said while taking advantage of her mother pulling Raiga out of his arms.

Tiona pulled Leiga away while admonishing, "Okay, my daughter brought her friends back this time, don't let her be embarrassed in front of her friends."

"Why did I embarrass her?" Lei Jia looked like she was swaying.

"You are embarrassed enough!" said Nora, the eldest daughter behind.

"That's it!" The second daughter Anne nodded in agreement.

While the family was in a mess, Selena was also quietly observing them.

Needless to say, Lei Jia looked so normal and imposing, and seemed to be like a mentally retarded person in front of Nitia.

Tiona is a well-maintained woman with a good look. Even though she is not young, she still feels charming.

Niteya's elder sister Nora smiled on her face, and she should also look very cheerful.

Second sister Annie looked weird at first glance, her eyes rolling, which was much cuter than Niteya, who had no expression on her face all day long.

At least that's what Selena thinks.

Lantes's family is very beautiful, of course, the most conspicuous one is Nydia, who made her born with strange eyes?

Niteya's left eye is green, inheriting the color of her father's pupils, and her right eye is the same blue as her mother.

It is not easy to see in the dark, but in an environment with sufficient light, this alien color pupil becomes particularly conspicuous.

"Ahem..." Lei Jia, who stood up to tidy up his clothes, cleared his throat, took out a cigar and held it in his mouth, "Selina, the brave, welcome you to the Principality of Verbalu!"

"You... that..." Selena couldn't adapt to this change for a moment, "I didn't come as a brave man."

"Well, although this is our first time meeting, I am actually quite familiar with you." Leiga nodded, "The letter Nitia sent back has said a lot about you two, and I am also very grateful for your care for her in Casg."

"This...it's usually her taking care of me, she's smarter than me..." Selena replied subconsciously.

"Okay, we don't have to be polite to each other," Lei Jia smiled. "Since you're here, just treat this place as your own home. The luncheon has been arranged, so let's go upstairs to have a meal!"

"Okay." Selena nodded.

…………

As we went upstairs, Selena and Nitia walked at the end and whispered.

"I seem to understand why you didn't mention your family matters to me." Selena smiled, "If outsiders knew that Honeysuckle was like this at home, they would probably be shocked."

"Haha..." Stepping on the silent red carpet, Nitia sneered expressionlessly, "There is half the reason why I don't like this place. If he were a little more normal, I would have gone home often."
