Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 49 02.0049: ‘Not a simple two families’

"Gothic Fleet Glory Book"...?

The major general took out the book and flipped through it quickly following the movements of his fingers.

Squeak - the door was pushed open gently.

The old butler brought refreshing tea, as ordered by Alexander Hood.

"When did Farida come back?" The major general flipped through the book and landed on one of the pages.

"Miss came back last night, but went out soon. She has been at home for a while now." The old housekeeper said respectfully.

"Who did she come back with at that time?"

"Alone, sir. Is...what happened?"

"Did she enter my study?"

The old butler's hand placing the tea froze in mid-air, but he quickly continued the action.

The master's words were obviously not a question. It seemed that he had already discovered something, and even if he tried to cover it up for the young lady, it would be useless.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the lady should have come in."

"Are you sure she didn't bring anyone back?"

The old housekeeper raised his head in horror.

"Sir, I really didn't see it."

"Farida has recovered the only living heir of Admiral Speyer." Alexander looked at the illustrations and introduction of the Ring of the Chief Lord on the page, and there was a burst of bitterness in his mouth.

It was a shame that the Hood family had no choice but to cover up. Two veteran generals who had been on the battlefield actually contributed the first Chief Lord's Ring in hundreds of years to a fledgling colonel. The sum of their achievements was actually not as high as that of their colleague. .

If the book had been tampered with and the person who found it was Thomas Cochrane's son, then you would know what you were looking for in the book.

"Speyer...you mean...the heroic general of the Gothic War?"

"So I want to know what she did during the time she came back. It's not peaceful outside now..."

The man looked at the old housekeeper with sharp eyes like an eagle.

——

What Major General Alexander Hood didn't know was that the person who broke into his study had already arrived above this huge floating platform, and was in the manor diagonally opposite him, only 10 kilometers away.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Peru. I didn't expect you to come in person." Horatio said sitting in the comfortable seat of the shuttle.

"I didn't expect you to be there. You have lived there for eight years, so you must have some feelings for it."

"Yeah, I thought I'd go back and have a look before enrolling." Horatio smiled, and now he could only respond according to the brigadier general's wishes.

"Speaking of which, I still remember how anxious your parents were when they learned about your accident. Your father had just been promoted to captain and captain at that time. He was awarded the title of chief lord captain by the admiral at the Gothic War commemoration ceremony. The ring is on your hand."

The man sat on the plush soft seat next to Horatio, with his eyes closed and his navy bicorn hat slowly waving in his hand.

"There was something wrong with your parents. I was the one who sent you on the shuttle. Who knew that the conspiracy would happen and change the life trajectory of many of us? I don't know if Thomas was worried about this matter... …”

"Sir, what happened to my father? Captain Sterling asked me..."

"We're already here, let's go get something to eat first, Mr. Corcoran."

The man opened his eyes, looked at Horatio with a smile, then stood up and walked to the stairs that unfolded automatically.

"This is the PW1-A-13 Sky Garden. It is the largest area underwritten by the Navy. Currently, five of the six lord captains of the Gothic Fleet live here." The man introduced to Horatio next to him:

"This is my home, over there is Admiral Rodney's mansion, and over there is the two Hood brothers' mansion, and then over there is Lord Captain Elphinstone's mansion. Your father should have had one too, but he Treat the battleship’s bedroom as your home.”

Horatio looked at the official residence of Major General Alexander Hood in the distance. The entire residence was brightly lit, including the light from Farida's bedroom.

He felt quite emotional in his heart. When he came last night, he was still a death row prisoner wanted by the Ministry of Justice all over the world, so he could only sneak into the boudoir in secret.

And now, he actually became an imperial soldier.

Standing dignifiedly on the garden tarmac of an Imperial Navy Commodore.

The guards on both sides snapped twice, put their guns on their shoulders, and saluted Horatio and Brigadier General Peru.

Brigadier General Peru waved his hand and led Horatio to the main entrance.

In front of the immaculate white Victorian double doors, the maids and maids stood in a row, saluting their masters and distinguished guests.

It was the first time that Horatio enjoyed such noble treatment, and he felt an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the platform outside the door with spiral steps on both sides. Standing there was a woman with a dignified manner and a plump figure. The girl holding her arm next to her should be her daughter. She was dressed to the nines. She looks like a decent but not exaggerated British girl, wearing a snow-white soft women's woolen wide-brimmed hat on her head.

The mother and daughter have beautiful faces. The girl has dark brown hair like her mother. She is elegant and dignified, quiet and pleasant.

"Thank you, two beauties." Edward handed the velvet bicorn hat to the valet who came up to him, took off the navy cloak on his body, and handed it to another valet.

Then he raised his hand and introduced Horatio next to him.

"Horatio Cochrane, son of Thomas Cochrane."

"Oh, what a handsome boy. I'm afraid he will be more handsome and taller than Captain Thomas when he grows up." The lady praised with a smile.

Edward then introduced the other two owners of the family to Horatio: "My wife, Lady Monsa, and this one is my daughter, Thei, who is just 15 years old this year."

[ah. Are you 15 years old? ] Horatio thought as he looked at the little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl smiled and looked at Horatio with her big golden eyes.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes fell on Horatio's belly.

Horatio followed her gaze and saw that there was a large amount of blood that had dried to a dark brown color and was stained when he rescued the baker.

"We miss your father very much. He used to visit us often. He has been dealing with our family for more than ten years."

"Twenty years," Brigadier General Edward corrected with a polite smile.

"I crashed into my nest eight years ago. All my previous memories are lost, and I don't even remember what my parents look like." Horatio said with a bitter smile:

"I'm sorry for visiting you like this. I'm not very clean."

"Mr. Horatio participated in the heroic action of rescuing the injured in Vegas. How could we care about the blood on his body?" Edward said.

"The God Emperor praises you, sir." The girl praised with a smile in a soft voice:

"I have been in the Boy Scouts. Not everyone has the courage to help victims who are covered in blood. I have experienced it and know how much courage it takes to take this step."

"Thank you, miss."

Horatio stooped and bowed, straightened up and said, "Nice to see you."

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Corcoran. You seem like a very interesting man."

Horatio smiled and wrote in response.

"After dinner, stay here tonight. I'll take you to Zhongsi Academy tomorrow morning." Edward nodded.

"You are such a child who does not succumb to fate. Come on, don't be restrained. You must be hungry after traveling for so long. My dear, the chef has arranged a full feast since early in the morning. It is delicious."

Mrs. Monsa held her daughter in her arms with a graceful gait, and the four of them walked into the main hall of the official residence together.

Of course, having a good, uninterrupted meal is only one aspect.

His most fundamental purpose in coming here was to wait for Brigadier General Peru to have a private conversation with him.

There are so many things I want to ask this man.
