Chapter 532: before parting
a few days later.
dinner time.
In the palace, the Willy family rarely appeared at the dining table.
Compared with the previous home in Baixiong Town, the restaurant in Baixiong City Palace is obviously much bigger, but the difference is only that. As for the atmosphere, there is no change at all. On the contrary, because the southeast of the mainland has entered a peaceful situation and after the establishment of the White Bear Principality, the family has get along more happily.
By the way, there is another difference, that is, Lord Volibear has finally been allowed to eat at the table by Mrs. Shawin.
As a talking bear, Waugh used words to persuade Mrs. Shawin.
After all, a guy who has intelligence and speaks human language can't be treated as an ordinary animal no matter what.
"Brother, why do you have time to have dinner with your family? Although you don't have to prepare for battle now, as the land army commander of the principality, shouldn't you also be busy with government affairs?"
Veria asked Thorpes.
Veria has always maintained her childhood habit of addressing Willy by her first name, and when she addresses Thorps, her brother.
Of course, this is only on private occasions. After all, the status of the Faerun family has changed qualitatively. On open occasions, Veria still respectfully calls Willy the Grand Duke or the King Brother.
"Although I am the commander of the army, my workload is much less than before... But Sandor is still busy..."
Speaking of Sandor, Thorpes had a rare smile of schadenfreude.
After the establishment of the White Bear Principality, the workload of Thorps himself, Dahn, and Aden all decreased, but Sandor still maintained a high working frequency, even busier than before.
This is because, although the general governance framework of the thirty-five provinces has been constructed in Baixiong Town, there are still many details to be dealt with under the framework, such as the resolution of the stubborn forces in the Duchy of Saussen and the Duchy of Wata. This made Sandor so busy that he didn't even have time to go home with his new wife.
"It's really hard for him, fortunately he is a very motivated person, otherwise he might have fallen down by now..."
There are still sour and spicy fish sauce in front of Willy.
Although it has moved to White Bear City, the eating habits of White Bear Town have been retained.
The brewer of sour fish sauce and spicy fish sauce, Aden's grandfather, Old Joel, did not follow him to White Bear City, but stayed in White Bear Town.
Willy wanted Aden to pick up Old Joel, but Old Joel declined. He said that he would go back to Fandou Village in White Bear Town to protect the place where he originally started for the Grand Duke.
"Sandol is a good boy..."
Father Lake muttered.
At this time, Lake's hair was combed brightly, and the wrinkles on his face were much less. The good life and the nutritional supply of extraordinary resources made Lake's mental outlook completely changed.
Not only Lake, but also Mrs. Shawin, plus their son became the Grand Duke of the White Bear Principality, and the two looked even better.
"His sister Lilian is also a good boy..."
Mrs. Shawin said without a trace: "She is nineteen years old, long before the age of adult marriage..."
As soon as Mrs. Shawin's voice fell, Willie understood what she meant.
But Willy tactfully chose silence.
On the other hand, sister-in-law Li Tuon and Veria looked at each other, and each covered their mouths and snickered.
Only Warbeck and Wally were still eating the food in front of them with their heads down.
Warbeck is three years old and can already eat by himself with difficulty. Although he will mess up the plate in front of him, it still can't stop Warbeck's passion for food.
This is the result of Lyton's deliberate request for Warbeck's independence, otherwise he should now be held and fed by the waitresses.
"correct……"
Willy changed the subject and said, "In another month, I will return to the center of the mainland..."
As soon as these words came out, the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Aside from Wally taking a peek at Willy and continuing to eat, even Warbeck stopped what he was doing.
"Uncle Willy, are you leaving White Bear City?"
No one spoke at the table, and Warbeck was the first to make a milky voice.
"Yes, Warbeck."
Willie smiled back at Warbeck.
Warbeck tilted his head and stared at Willy. He didn't quite understand the meaning of parting, so he lowered his head and plucked the food on the plate again.
There was only a tinkling sound on the table.
"Because of the affairs of the Knights of the Holy Light?"
Thorpes asked.
He wasn't so surprised. He had known for a long time that Willy was going to return to the center of the continent, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It's only been a few days since Willy had ascended to the throne of the Grand Duke.
"That's right..."
Willy hadn't told them about the invasion of the world of the world's heart.
However, before leaving White Bear Town, Willy will inform his core men of the invasion of the Tower of the Heart of the World, so that they can be psychologically prepared.
Although the war did not spread to the southeast of the continent in the last thousand-year war, this time is different. According to what Sariana said, the one who is extraordinary in the world of the world is very likely to come in this war.
"Well... don't worry, Willy, we will protect the White Bear Principality for you..."
Thorpes said in a relaxed tone.
He was deliberately downplaying the sadness of parting.
"It's time to get back to work..."
Lake went back to the knife and fork and put the food in his mouth.
"Right, anyway, Willy still has a month to leave here..."
Veria also said, making a face at Willy.
Willy naturally heard the reluctance in several people's mouths.
But now is really not the time to enjoy life.
It has been almost a year since I left the center of the mainland. According to the information I came across on the quest card, the internal members recruited by the Tower of the Heart in Glen World have become more and more active.
The time for the Tower of the Heart to cross the world barrier and start the war again may be very close.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon after I've dealt with things over there. After all, this is my home in the southeast of the mainland."
Willie said.
...
For the next month, Willy did things that the Grand Duke should do, in addition to spending time with his family.
He needs to handle a lot of things well, which can reduce the work intensity of many Sandor and others.
During this month, Willy did not delay his practice, and basically every night, Willy spent in practice.
Up to now, practice has become the first priority of Willy's current life.
Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
It was the day when Willy was about to leave his hometown again.
