Seeing the old butler's expression, Sera had probably guessed, "He, is still in the same place?"
"Uh... Second Miss, I, I'm not sure."
"Okay, I get it, nothing has changed after all these years." Sera snorted.
"Grandpa Lu, who is it?" Xia Yi asked.
"Grandpa Lu, that is Grandpa Lucius. He is the current head of our Cavendish family and the second young lady's..." Uncle Ya hesitated for a while, but still said, "Father."
Sera's father?
Xia Yi thought, Sera and Lucia are both so outstanding, so their father must be very powerful, right?
"I went to find him and came back. It's already this late and he's still fooling around." Sera frowned.
"Sera, I'll go with you!" Xia Yi suggested.
"This... Sorry, that doesn't work!"
"Why, Sera, it's boring for me to stay here alone, so let me go with you."
"That place is not suitable... It's too early for you at your current age."
"If there's anything inappropriate, don't treat me like a child! Just tell me directly!"
"That is……"
Sera walked to Xia Yi's side, bent down, and quietly told her the outrageous part.
84 Koror's New Nobility (4k)
Xia Yi heard it.
It is a place where minors are not allowed to enter, and it is a place where rich people indulge in sensual pleasures and live a life of debauchery.
"That's it, young lady, you'd better not go," Sera advised.
"No!" Xia Yi insisted, "Sera, I still decided to go with you."
"why?"
"There's no special reason. Anyway, you treat me like a child and I'm very unhappy!" Xia Yi said with her hands on her hips.
She is not young at all.
Twenty-four years old, a human swordsman.
Including the past six years in the Dragon Clan, I am already 28 years old, almost 30 years old, and yet I still treat myself as a child?
This is definitely unacceptable.
Rebellious thoughts began to arise in the little princess' mind.
Even if you don't let me go, I'll go anyway!
"Okay...Miss." Sera agreed.
"Second Miss, are you sure you want to go find the head of the family?" Uncle Ya stepped forward and asked.
"Where is he now?"
"The head of the family has been attending the celebration of the Denggao Casino for a week," Uncle Ya replied honestly, "You can also wait a moment, we can send someone to inform the head of the family."
"Uncle Ya, are you sure my father hasn't been back for a week?"
"Yes."
"I'll just go over there. I don't want to wait."
……
Xia Yi and Sera were walking in the central area of Koror City.
Night has fallen.
But this city seemed to be more lively at night. Various billboards were hung between the tall buildings, and brilliant lights were flashing in the sky above the city.
"The central urban area of Koror City is really prosperous." Xia Yi said with emotion.
The scenery here is completely different from that in the royal capital.
Sera explained: "Koror is one of the representatives of the southern cities. It is different from the northern part of the Dragon Kingdom. Since it is closer to the vassal states and trades with them, it has also absorbed some foreign cultures, such as these. The local nobles are particularly fond of these hedonistic cultures. They use money and resources to create a dreamlike city at night. As long as you have power and money, this is a paradise on earth."
"Sera's family is also one of the nobles, right?"
"Yes, in the distant past, when Koror was not a traditional dragon city like it is now, our Cavendish family already had some weight in the local area. As time went by, other traditional families gradually declined, and in the end, only our Cavendish family was left."
"That is to say, there are many emerging nobles in Koror City?"
"Yes, they all migrated to Koror from other places. They saw the potential here and made a lot of investments. Together with Koror, it rose rapidly and formed a new force, the New Chamber of Commerce." Sera looked at a large theater not far away. "The Koror Grand Theater was invested and built by the New Chamber of Commerce formed by other foreign nobles. In this theater, countless stars were created with huge investments."
There were young and beautiful young masters and ladies in Xia Yi. They rewarded the waiters of the Koror Grand Theater and were surrounded by them, chatting and laughing as they entered the bustling Koror Grand Theater.
There was a dazzling list of actors on the poster, and Xia Yi discovered that some of the names were top stars who had appeared in magazines.
"But Sera is a little different from them..."
"This is related to the Cavendish ancestral precepts. Our ancestors required their descendants not to indulge in luxury and pleasure, but to remain humble so that the family could prosper. The ancient families of our time failed because of this. When a group of stubborn children appeared among their descendants, it was difficult to get them back on track. Therefore, they have now disappeared and have been defeated by the emerging nobles."
Sera also frowned when she said this.
"Of course, there is one exception in our family, and that is my father, who turned a deaf ear to the words of our ancestors."
Xia Yi saw that there were so many servants in Cavendish's manor, and it didn't seem to be in decline, otherwise it would not be able to sustain all the consumption.
"Sera, what were you doing before you joined the royal maid corps?" Xia Yi asked curiously.
"This... is nothing."
Sera hesitated for a moment and fooled around.
This reaction made Xia Yi even more curious.
In fact, she didn't know much about Sera, for example, what was the past of this perfect maid like?
"Sera, tell me, I'm curious!" Xia Yi came over, "You've never told me before!"
"Because these are all... things that are not worth mentioning. In your eyes, they must be very boring."
Sera really couldn't say it. She pinched her brows and felt a headache. Thinking about what she had done in this city before, it was definitely a dark history.
We have to change the subject first.
She glanced ahead.
"Your Highness, we are here."
Xia Yi saw an extremely luxurious building, which exuded gorgeous brilliance in the dark night. There were many carriages parked in front of the magnificently decorated gate, and there were quite a number of waiters on standby at the door. The flow of people was extremely large, and every noble who entered was dressed extraordinarily.
This is a local entertainment venue built around a casino, called the Denggao Casino.
The Elvin family is the best among the emerging nobles in Koror, and is the main responsible person. It has won over other families to take the lead in construction.
Denggao Casino is now holding a special celebration event every three years, inviting nobles from all sides to participate in a grand gambling event.
And Sera's father, the head of the Cavendish family, is here. He has been in there for almost a week and has not returned.
"Come on, Princess, follow me," said Sera.
"Ah."
Xia Yi followed Sera to the main entrance of Denggao Casino, but was stopped.
"Excuse me, ladies, do you have an invitation?" asked the waiter.
"No," Sera replied.
"I'm very sorry, ladies. This is a special celebration, and it's different from usual. If we don't have an invitation from the Ascendant Casino, we won't be able to attend this event. Please go back."
"We are just here to find someone, not to gamble. We will leave as soon as we find someone."
"Stop kidding! Are you here to cause trouble? Really, people like you are really common during the celebration of the Denggao Casino. A humble commoner girl wants to sneak into the celebration in various ways to hook the nobles. A crow also wants to fly to the tree and become a phoenix? You are dreaming. Do you think you deserve it?"
The waiter wanted to attack Xia Yi, so he walked up to her in a forceful way.
Sera was obviously displeased by such an offensive action to Her Royal Highness the Princess. She grabbed the waiter's arm and threw him out, smashing him to the ground.
"You are not qualified to touch the young lady."
"Are you going to go against the Denggao Casino? This is the territory of the Erwin family!" the waiter shouted in disbelief.
"I told you, I'm here to look for someone. I'm not interested in participating in your celebration. Servants of the Erwin family, please move aside. I'm from the Cavendish family, and I'm here to look for the head of the Cavendish family."
In the eyes of the waiters, no matter who the Irwin family behind the casino is, they are lacking in education.
"No matter what family you are from, this is the Ascend Casino. The Elvin family has the final say. If the Dragon Clan royal family comes, they have to lie down! Everyone, come and teach these two women a lesson and send them to see the sheriff!"
"You actually insulted the dragon royal family?" Sera narrowed her eyes.
"Hmph, stop trying to scare us with these things! When we get to the sheriff, you will definitely kneel on the ground and beg us to let you go!"
The waiters gathered together. They were very arrogant because they had the Elvin Family behind them. The Dragon Royal Family, who were in the north, seldom came to the south. After all, the emperor was far away and the sky was high. Even if they said a few words, the Dragon Royal Family would not know.
If these two women spread the news, we could still say that they were spreading rumors, but then we could turn around and accuse them of insulting the royal family.
At the Ascend Casino, the waiters are always fearless.
"Miss, I have to teach them a lesson," said Sera.
"Well, whatever you want, Sera~"
Xia Yi just watched the show from the side.
She had a vague feeling that Sera did it on purpose. In this city, the Cavendish family, as a traditional force, should have irreconcilable conflicts with these newly emerging families.
Sera began to chant a spell in front of everyone.
The waiters were stunned.
"This... is this a magician?"
"You are just bluffing, right? I can cast magic spells too."
"Whether it's true or not, go up and interrupt her first!"
