C79 The Duke's Mansion

Although he was mentally prepared for this, the grandeur and grandeur of Duke Ronton Prefecture still shocked Lee Xiang.

When he was in the Imperial Capital, the Count's Mansion of Rinker family was considered a crane among chickens in the Imperial Capital. However, it wasn't just the Count's Mansion. There were also many high ranking officials in the empire. Therefore, no matter how outstanding it was, it still could not show its imposing manner. Especially under the support of the majestic Imperial Capital. That made it even less special.

At this moment, the Duke's Mansion was just like the Imperial City of Bael City. Here, it represented power. In addition, it was said that this mansion had a relatively long history. According to Bill, this mansion had existed since the Bael City was founded. Later on, it was because of the arrival of the Ronton family. After so many years, the mansion became a Duke's mansion. Although Duke also repaired it from time to time, he considered that this was an ancient mansion that had lasted for a thousand years. It was extremely historical, so it roughly preserved his original appearance. As for what its previous self was, and what kind of people lived in it. . . After such a long time, basically no one knew. What was strange was that there was no record of it in the history of the Empire.

Originally, Lee Xiang thought that everything would be temporarily over after he successfully arrived. However, when he arrived at the main gate of Duke's Mansion, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. He even felt a little flattered.

At this moment, there were countless onlookers standing in front of the Duke's Mansion. Most of them had the same skin color as him, and were mainly made up of Lower Race.

Duke Ronton stood at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion with an amiable smile on his face. On his right side stood a white man of 367 years old. He had a very complicated smile on his face, and his pair of blue eyes kept scanning Lee Xiang's body. Needless to say, this should be Lee Xiang's uncle, Smith.

Next to Duke Ronton stood a blonde woman who was about the same age as Lee Xiang. If one were to look at it from the aesthetic point of view of the empire, He was definitely considered a beauty. More importantly, Lee Xiang found that her appearance was somewhat similar to his mother's. It seemed that this should be the cousin Lena that Catherine mentioned, who was a few months older than him.

At the same time, Lee Xiang realized that this cousin wasn't that polite to him. Her eyes seemed to be filled with disdain and even hostility. This was definitely not a good sign for him. It was very obvious that she was like those pure white people, and seemed to be somewhat sensitive to Lower Race. And the thing that gave Lee Xiang the most headache was that he could infer a lot of things from Lena's reaction at this moment.

Catherine had once introduced that Lena had a rather unruly and willful personality. Since she was such a person, she naturally would not be as good at concealing her facial expression as her grandfather and father. In other words, his current expression came from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, Lee Xiang thought of something else that gave him a headache. From Lena's attitude towards the Lower Race, he could clearly tell Ronton and Smith's attitude towards the Lower Race. This was because this person's personality and preferences from a young age had an absolute relationship with the nurturing of his family. There was no doubt about it. Thus, he dared to confirm one thing. He was afraid that he might not be able to feel comfortable staying in this home in the future.

"Alright, our Baron has finally returned home!" Duke Ronton turned his head and looked around at the crowd. He laughed and quickly walked to Lee Xiang's side. He looked at Lee Xiang carefully and nodded with satisfaction. Finally, he held Lee Xiang in his arms. "My dear child, thank you for your hard work!"

A wave of cheers came from the crowd.

No matter how deep the meaning behind Ronton's words of hard work was, Lee Xiang still accepted it all. He thought that he had indeed done his best to complete this role of his ever since he entered the Silo Province.

Walking into the Duke's Mansion, Ronton first introduced Smith and Lena. Lee Xiang did not feel any rejection from Smith. Instead, he seemed to be more intimate with him. It must be because of his beautiful mother's face. However, Lena didn't seem to be very friendly with Lee Xiang. She barely greeted him with Ronton's eyes. However, she only nodded her head in an ordinary way. Lee Xiang had already prepared himself for this. Therefore, he didn't take it to heart.

After entering the living room, Lee Xiang found that all the servants in Duke's Mansion were gathered inside. Including the leaders of the guards.

Obviously, Ronton wanted to introduce him to these people seriously. This action slightly surprised Lee Xiang, because he seemed to realize that Ronton was not just using him. It seemed like a part of it was from the bottom of his heart.

Another thing was that Lee Xiang found that there seemed to be a few servants of Lower Race in Duke's Mansion, which surprised him a little. One should know that this kind of situation was absolutely not seen by the nobles in the capital. From this, it seemed that special circumstances indeed required special treatment.

One thing that needed to be pointed out was that the mistress of Ronton family had already died a long time ago. Including Lena's mother, she died of an illness a year after she was born. It seemed like the mistress of the Ronton family had always had a habit of short-lived life. Lee Xiang had heard Catherine mention this before. However, Lee Xiang had always found it strange. Given the status of the Ronton family in the Silo Province. . . Of course, no one told him about this.

Because Lee Xiang had been worn out all this time, and his face was full of exhaustion. Therefore, Ronton only announced Lee Xiang's identity to his servants, as well as his position in the family in the future. He then arranged for Lee Xiang to rest. At the same time, Ronton also announced that Bill was in charge of Lee Xiang's safety. Of course, he surprisingly didn't ask about Ao Guang and his brother, who had been following Lee Xiang all this time. After all, it was normal for him to have a few guards with his current identity as Baron.

With Lee Xiang's uncle, Smith, accompanying him, Lee Xiang came to his room. It was also a private courtyard. Compared to the Rinker family in the past, the treatment here was as different as the difference between heaven and earth. The most important thing was that this place had no restrictions on him. First of all, he was free. Moreover, he also had his own guards. It was worth mentioning that other than Bill, The few guards who had been protecting him along the way had been assigned to Lee Xiang's side by Ronton. Of course, it was natural for Buda to do the same.

It was worth mentioning that the guards were originally not allowed to live in the same courtyard as him. However, Ao Guang and his brother stayed in his courtyard under Lee Xiang's repeated requests. The reason was very simple. Lee Xiang found a very helpless problem. He found that it was just like what Reynolds had said. There was no one in Duke's Mansion that he could trust. After thinking about it for a while, he had no choice but to agree. It seemed like only these two brothers were worth looking forward to. At least, they wouldn't do anything to him before he opened the Asura Ring. The other thing was that their identities were too special. Therefore, Lee Xiang could only make them stay by his side due to various factors. Otherwise, if one day the two brothers accidentally revealed the true form of the dragon, the consequences would be severe.

As for Smith's attitude, it shocked Lee Xiang a little. Initially, he thought that Smith would be a little unfamiliar with him. However, Smith's attitude towards him was unexpectedly intimate. On the way back to his courtyard, he greeted Smith warmly, showing the care and concern of his elders. On the way, he even mentioned his beautiful mother. He also mentioned some fun things about his mother when she was young. He also told him that this courtyard was the one his mother used to live in before she got married. This made Lee Xiang feel a lot more emotional. He even looked around with interest. He thought of this woman who didn't show up on the last day he left the Rinker family. Lee Xiang sighed in his heart. To be honest, Lee Xiang even had some very strange thoughts.

He even thought that this family did not have any selfish motives towards him? He really hoped that this family would treat him as a true family member. However, this thought also disappeared in an instant. After all, various situations showed that using him to appease the peasants was an indisputable fact. So, no matter how many thoughts he had, It was just an extravagant hope.

After sending Smith away, Lee Xiang summoned Ao Guang and his brother. There were some things that he needed to understand from them.
