The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 13 The Cavendish Family

Cavendi Family - Council Chamber.

"Brother, how is it, how long will this war last?" Terry Cavendish (Elizabeth Cavendish August's father) asked.

"It probably won't be fought. In the short term, we will mainly rest and recuperate. But judging from His Majesty's intention, he will launch a war soon."

"It's time to take a break. For more than a year, you have been working hard with me. Your body has aged a lot. The family still depends on you." Terry said with concern.

"Hey, if it weren't for Joseph (Joseph Cavendish, Johnson's only son) who didn't do his job and was idle all day, I wouldn't have to work so hard. The family would be handed over to the young sooner or later. I am usually busy with official duties and neglect to discipline Joseph. Terry, you have to pay more attention to the family affairs."

"Brother, I know."

"How is your son-in-law?" Johnson asked casually.

"It's been three months, and they haven't even sent a letter. But there's no war over there, so it should be safe."

"There are only you and me in our generation, and only Joseph and Lilibet in the next generation. Hey, our Cavendish family is really scarce. Joseph, that stinky boy, knows how to fool around all day long. He has made the Cavendish family lose face. None of the noble ladies in the capital like him. I think we should let him get married as soon as the war is over. No matter what, we must leave descendants for the family."

"Brother, isn't it too hasty?" Terry said.

"What's the hurry? Lilibet's two children are over ten years old. How long will Joseph fool around? I've decided that I'll tie him up to the wedding this time."

King's capital, Uxsu City - Kulis Street

In the center of Kulis Street is the largest library in the principality - the Selnarin National Library, and the strange thing is that opposite the library is the largest gold-spending den in the principality - Fina Garden.

Fina Garden is decorated with extreme luxury, and there are all kinds of things inside. No matter what kind of rare goods (including male and female slaves from various countries), you can find them here, provided that you prepare the necessary Nomisma (Denton Principality gold coins). It is not an exaggeration to describe this place as making a fortune every day, but it is rare to hear that someone is making trouble here. It is said that it is the property of Marquis Vic Wales (the leader of the Flame Legion that invaded the hinterland of the Principality of Burgundy).

And our young master Joseph is in Fina Garden at this time, enjoying the massage of beautiful women and fine wine and food.

"Young master, the master is back, let's go back early." The manservant said.

"What are you panicking about? Didn't you see that the wine is not finished yet? Besides, these services have been paid for. Don't you know how expensive it is here? I will go back in a while, it's okay." Joseph said while lying.

Joseph only cared about spending money and didn't take the manservant's words seriously at all.

"Master, Master, look, isn't that the master and Earl Terry (honorary earl)?"

Joseph saw it and sat up, "Go separately, don't let the master see you, and don't say you've seen me if you see me."

Twisting and turning in the crowd, Joseph disappeared in a moment.

Seeing that there were family guards guarding the gate, the butler was a little anxious. Although Master Joseph had escaped, he would be caught by the master sooner or later.

Not to mention what the butler was thinking, Joseph was not panicked at all. He walked to the backyard of Fina Garden with ease. There was a door in a relatively hidden position, and there were two garden guards in front of the door.

"Quickly get out of the way and let me pass." Joseph said.

The garden guard saw that it was a familiar guest, Viscount Joseph (honorary viscount), and did not dare to stop him, so he got out of the way.

Soon, Joseph passed through the door and disappeared.

Selnarin National Library

The library on the fifth floor covers a large area. Books ranging from the history of the continent, the history of the founding of the principality, detailed explanation of plants, knight etiquette, Merlin's diary, etc. to miscellaneous periodicals such as postpartum care techniques for sows are placed on the bookshelves on each floor in different categories.

There are many people reading books in the library, and they are very devoted to reading. No one noticed that someone slipped in from the small door on the side. Only the librarian Brian (a member of the court magician group and a senior magician apprentice) glanced at him, but when he saw that it was Joseph, a famous playboy in the principality, he smiled obscurely and said nothing.

Joseph quickly found a book "On the Moral Cultivation of Nobles" on the bookshelf, sat down and started reading.

Johnson and Terry did not find Joseph, but they had seen the male servant at home. They called him over to ask questions. The male servant hesitated and did not explain clearly. But who is Johnson? The military minister of the principality, how could he not know the tricks of Fina Garden?

"Let's go to the opposite side." After saying that, Johnson turned around and walked out of Fina Garden.

Soon, we arrived at the Selnarin Library. As soon as we entered the hall, we saw Brian sitting on a chair reading a book.

"Master, have you seen the brat from my family?" Johnson asked.

"Here, he's reading a book over there." Brian pointed.

"Hey, he's pretending well, Terry, tell him to go home."

"Okay, brother."

...

Colin was tired of the daily black bread and small salted fish. Although he could occasionally eat the food brought by Nora, he always felt that his mouth was dry. He always wanted to go to the forest in the east to see if he could catch a rabbit or a pheasant, or at least a bird's egg.

“With the return of Lord Alex (senior knight attendant), people have been more active in the eastern forest. It is said that it is still safe during the day. Colin has no time during the day, but if he doesn’t go too deep, there should be nothing to worry about at night. Besides, he is not here for nothing.” Colin thought.
