Today, Sean finally saw how wealthy an earl's family is.
This feeling is more like the image I had of an aristocrat... There's a bathtub as big as a basketball court, and you can see the sunset directly opposite.
After entering, Sean couldn't find the direction of the room at all. If there was no one to lead him around, he probably wouldn't have found the place.
No wonder the descendants of the Hamil family would fight tooth and nail for this position. With such good conditions and the ability to inherit the entire huge city of Koga, how could they not fight for it?
Leaning against the spacious bathtub, Sean glanced at the clothes placed not far away... The magic book was still in his waist bag. Even if the clothes could be exchanged, it was better not to let anyone find it.
There was no one around, and Sean began to recall the encounter with the big rat today.
He believed that the monster was definitely being controlled by someone...
Think about it carefully, why would a monster living in the sewers never come out and be willing to hide in such a place?
The big rat must have existed before Igonia first discovered it on Brucan Avenue, and Sean firmly believed that someone must be raising it behind the scenes.
Otherwise, the status of [In conversation...] cannot be explained.
But who is that? ! !
Among the people present, besides Ignia and myself, there were also Sharik and Warren, who were both magical beings. It was possible that they were the ones.
Of course, it's also possible that the owner was talking to the rat from a farther distance, and finally gave up on it for some reason, letting it die at the hands of Alia and her subordinates...
After some speculation, Sean felt that this was relatively reasonable, but there was another possibility.
He looked around at the spacious rooms and luxurious furnishings. It was not surprising that someone who could live in such a place would be remembered by others.
Wealth and poverty, safety and danger are inherently relative...
The Hamilton family owns such a big city, how could no one be keeping an eye on them? If the thugs on the street had the ability, they would probably want to extort their family the most, otherwise they wouldn't have so many high-level guards.
From this perspective, even if someone is tampering behind the scenes, it is normal and there is nothing to be surprised about.
It was easy to understand that Sean thought about things in a simple way. Since he couldn't produce any evidence, it would be useless to ask anyone about this matter. So he could only suppress it in his heart for the time being and wait to see if he would discover other situations in the future.
…………………………
When I came out of the shower, it was almost time for dinner. At this time, the maid came to remind me whether I should go to the dining room first.
This maid was the one Sean paid a gold coin to help deliver a letter to Scovi's store in the afternoon. After a few interactions, they developed a little bit of favorability towards each other, and the other party even mentioned it specifically when notifying him.
"Lord Weigel, I heard that Viscount Isaac, Viscount Bernstein, and Viscount Kukar will be there tonight. I suggest you go there early."
As expected of a servant of the Earl's family, his manner of speaking is different.
"Oh, really! Then do you think I should go there earlier?" Sean asked with a smile.
And above his head, a [Thinking Seriously!] state actually appeared...
This maid is quite interesting.
"I think Lord Weigel should go there early so that he can leave a good impression on the other nobles." said the maid.
Indeed, going there early to wait can leave a good impression on other nobles. The Viger family has never appeared among the southern nobles, and it is the first time that Sean has met such a pair of nobles together in such an occasion.
The people I just mentioned are all viscounts, and their status is higher than mine.
Logically, he should have arrived first and waited, but if he seemed so deliberate, he would not be the Baron Weigel who "never left the house", so Sean continued to sit in the room and wait.
The maid outside looked a little anxious and asked again if there was anything else, but Sean just said to wait a moment without saying why.
After all, the other party was still a maid. Even though she spoke with authority, she didn't dare to yell directly in front of Sean, so she could only stand quietly at the door and wait... She was getting a little anxious.
However, at this time, the sound of running was heard in the corridor.
"Why are you still here? Come with me!" A familiar voice came from the door.
Igonia!
"Why are you here?"
She was not present when Sean asked her to stay with him before, but now she came out and changed into a new set of clothes, a long dress that looked like an evening gown, revealing her white shoulders and showing her slim waist and round hips. She even had her hair braided and wrapped around the back of her head.
"Miss Alia invited me here. Come with me! The nobles have all left, and you're still here!"
"Why, has it already started?"
Sean saw the [Anxious!] sign appear above the other person's head.
Not really.
I just waited a little longer until all the nobles arrived before going over, which would make me look like a remote lord who didn't know the etiquette of the nobility. But no matter what, someone would come to call me before dinner, after all, I was a guest.
"I'm still eating. Earl Hamilton is sick."
Igunya simply pulled Sean and ran directly in the corridor, explaining the situation as she ran.
"Fell ill?!!"
"Well, just a while ago... Earl Hamilton was going to come directly here, but he suddenly felt unwell and collapsed in the room." Igunya whispered.
The incident happened so suddenly that many people didn't react.
The people who were still waiting in the hall suddenly heard someone coming to report the news, which scared all the nobles.
"Everyone has rushed over now. I asked someone because I didn't see you were there, but you didn't even come..." Igunya didn't know how to say the next sentence.
The entire Earl's Mansion was in a panic at the moment, and some people were even hiding in their rooms and refusing to come out.
"I heard before that the Earl was in poor health, so he was so anxious to choose his own successor. I didn't expect it to be true." Ignia said.
At this moment, Sean suddenly remembered that Esmeralda had mentioned a similar situation.
It seems that the rumors in the market are not completely without basis.
The two followed the direction the servants were running, but when they came to a villa, they were not allowed to pass, and almost all the nobles were stopped there.
"Baron Weiger." Alia, who was wandering in the yard, turned around and greeted him when she saw him coming.
And many men and women around her also turned their heads at the same time!
