Rise of an Empire

In addition to Kagura and her daughter, there are naturally other servants in the shrine. Although Kagura Chiharu is so angry that she doesn't want to deal with Conrad anymore, as the governor of the Kagura family, she cannot just leave him outside. , so we arranged for servants to receive them.

Under the leadership of his servants, Conrad and his party entered the guest hall of Asakusa Shrine directly. When they looked outside, they thought it was not very big, but when they actually walked in, they realized that there were quite a lot of buildings here.

"This Kagura family is really luxurious," the Duke said leisurely after walking around the guest hall.

“Luxury here”

Yamamura Sadako was a little confused. She looked at the wooden guest room. Although it seemed to be quite large and the decoration was OK, she had seen such a life of luxury and extravagance at Weiting Manor that she really couldn't put it into words. A wooden house is associated with luxury.

"You still need to practice more." The Duke grabbed Sadako's cheek helplessly and pinched it. Although this little girl is good at everything, it is a pity that she has too little experience.

There was nothing she could do about it. She was just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. She didn't even graduate from middle school. Her biggest wish when she was a child was to have a full meal.

Although being with her this year has broadened her horizons a lot, there is still a big gap compared with those women who grew up in wealthy families.

"Not to mention other things, this bronze firelight alone is worth at least seven to eight million yen," the Duke said, pointing to a bronze ornament placed on the table.

"It was a work by Master Nara Zeno during the Heian period. The current market price is 24 million yen."

Kagura Chiharu walked in with a look on her face, and the two little girls just now were tightly grasping the hem of her clothes.

Although the current exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar is still 360 to 1, 24 million yen can still be exchanged for 60,000 to 70,000 U.S. dollars. Even the Duke would not be willing to put such an expensive thing at home. Makes desk lamps.

Of course, the main reason is that Little Phoenix is ​​so noisy. In just two years, she destroyed the living room and had to redecorate it six times. Even with his wealth, every time he saw the decoration list, he I can't help but feel some pain in my body.

"My daughter was in the garden just now. Please take care of her," Kagura Chiharu walked up to Conrad and whispered.

The two little girls just got a lot of novel snacks from the Duke. Although the Asakusa Shrine is considered to be rich in food and clothing, the snacks in Yamamura Sadako's pocket are all the highest-end fresh products in Manhattan. Many Americans The middle class has never heard of it, let alone in Japan.

Although Kagura Chiharu had just begun to dislike Conrad, when she heard from her two daughters that the uncle was a very nice person, she felt that she should come and express her gratitude in person.

"Master Kagura, you're too polite. I was the one who offended you just now. Please don't mind." Since a woman could apologize first, the Duke felt that he couldn't be too stingy, so he agreed.

The two sides had nothing to do with each other originally, but there were some minor differences due to the conflict of feelings. Now that one side has taken the initiative to apologize, it is natural that both the guest and the host will enjoy themselves immediately.

Of course, the main reason is because the cause of Kagura Hyakki's death was determined to be the work of Hydra. Otherwise, even if he was the emperor's guest, Kagura Chiharu would now turn against him and take action.

"The daughters of the head of the Kagura family are really exquisite. They are really enviable." Looking at the twins sitting on their knees next to Kagura Chiharu, the Duke couldn't help but say with envy.

This is really enviable. Look at Kagura Chizuru and Kagura Mangetsu. They are actually about the same age as Little Phoenix, but they are well-behaved, smart and sensible. Children who are only three or four years old are already well-educated and sensible. think it's cute

And the one at home

forget it

Conrad felt a headache when he thought of the little Phoenix who demolished the house and set fire to it every day.

Could this be the difference between other people's children and our own children?

I remember that I still wanted to educate little Phoenix into a lady. Why did she suddenly grow crooked?
