Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 312: Adultery

Claude never thought he'd get paid to go home and visit his family on his own. First came the feast of Chief Felidos, then Uncle Thomas, then Mr. Rubiewell, Bok Al's father, and finally the dozen elders who worked with his father, Mr. Morsan, to open a new route.

For the next two decades, Claude had a feast every night. Four of these feasts were attended by Chief Felidos alone, of course, not by Chief Felidos, but by someone else who invited Chief Felidos, who then named Claude to accompany him. Or Chief Felidos used Claude as a role model for him to show off his wisdom, and Claude was helpless over and over again to thank Chief Felidos for his recommendations and collaboration...

The bounty to exterminate the Cyclops also took only one week under the care of Director Felidos, totalling more than 500 gold kroner. And McJackie and Big Grimes took only 100 gold kroner each, and the rest was absolutely no, all to Claude. Together with the gratuities and gifts from the merchants who retrieved the stolen goods, Claude almost earned back the money he spent on the black market in Fort Ivana.

There's a lot going on at home too. After Claude bought the utility forest, her sister Anna ran to the forest every day. For safety, Claude had both Mike and Big Grimes follow her around, while Mike helped draw up a detailed topographical map of the entire forest, and arranged a development and construction plan for the forest.

When both the banquet and the reward were over, Claude was ready to stay at home for two months, and his own magic training was approaching a critical promotion stage. Stimulated by her sister, Claude had to be promoted to a second-round grammar at home.

The Landers magician said in his diary that it took him only seven years to be promoted to a four-ring magician, while his sister had studied magic for only five years and was now about to be promoted to a three-ring magician. Only Claude, still hanging here in a circle of scribes, although his dedication to the army greatly influenced Claude's magic practice, it also had a lot to do with Claude relaxing his own magic practice...

But a lot of things can come up to you suddenly and spoil all of your plans when you're not expecting them. Just like now, it was rare to have a mother's dinner at home, and when she was almost done, she said, "Claude, your marriage to Kevin should be settled, and you're not too old. This time your family visit is long enough to get this done. I asked the priest at the Temple of the Moon, who said September 12 was a very auspicious day and that it was easy to get the blessings of the Moon God for the newlyweds. Let's just say that on September 12th, you married Kaifani..."

And Kevin was there, and she listened to her mother, and she had no objection, just blushed and lowered her head.

Claude would like to say to his mother that I'm not too old to be on New Year's Eve, okay? But then I woke up and realized that this was a different world, not a time in my previous life when I wasn't ready to start a family until I was 30 years old. The legal age of marriage here is 18 years for men and women to marry and have children as adults, while Kevin is only three months younger than Claude, and counts as an older girl in the world.

Claude could only agree to his mother's request, even if his heart was tied again. First of all, he didn't want to disappoint his mother, and Kevin was already her daughter-in-law, and the future daughter-in-law relationship would be very harmonious. Secondly, the girl put a heart on Claude, rejected countless seekers, waited five years for Claude, and Claude couldn't help but be moved. Thirdly, Claude and Kevin did everything but the last step, and he had to give the girl an account anyway, otherwise she would be a piece of shit.

Though in Claude's heart, Sheila, the Teenage Mage, is his true love, the two have a more common language in magic practice. But the problem was that Sheila had declined Claude's request for marriage, and she was reluctant to spend her precious time on family chores, but rather focused on the practice of magic. In such circumstances, Caffrey is undoubtedly Claude's best wedding partner.

Of course, Claude was also well aware that his acceptance of the banquet for payment had created a sense of crisis for Mother and Kevin. After all, Claude was young, unmarried and handsome enough to get into the eyes of some of the headliners in White Deer City. Especially some of the kingdom's small aristocrats, who don't mind introducing a young unmarried woman from their own family to Claude, which is also an investment in the future and they prefer Claude's development prospects.

And for Kevin, marrying Claude is her best place to go. Twenty-three years later, twenty-four years later, she still lives at her sister Catherine's house. Sister and brother-in-law have had one son and one daughter in the past few years. Now that sister is pregnant again, the suite in the three rooms and hall of the house is a little nervous. Although my sister and brother-in-law won't let Kaifani move out, it's getting a little uncomfortable staying at my sister's house for an older girl.

Since Claude and Kevin had no objection, the marriage was so happily settled. With a month and a half to go until September, time was tight for the mother, as she had to take care of the two married houses first.

In general, newlyweds need a home or a separate cabin, but the Fields currently own only this big red brick house. And this big red brick house, though condominium-style, aparts from the one currently housed by the Fields, the other three floors of those suites plus the attic are rented by others. Without a lease back by September, the Fields couldn't evict long-term tenants for Claude's marriage.

The mother meant that she and her sister, as well as her younger brother, moved out and left this loft building with Claude and Caffrey for a new home, and they found another place to rent it. It just so happens that none of the neighbors on the nearby streets are available for rent or sale. As for construction and development and residential housing on the woodland side, it may not be until the end of next year.

Claude didn't want his mother to move out of the house, but he never thought about throwing them out of the house for his own sake. Although he is now the guardian of the Fields family and manages the whole family until his younger brother Browick is a minor, this is only nominal, in fact it is now his sister Anna who is in charge of the family affairs, and his younger brother Browick is also very convinced of this sister, which ensures that he will not suffer from long distortions and illnesses during his second and second years of life.

Besides, Claude was only on vacation for more than five months to visit his family this time, and he had to return to Wang Du after the New Year, when his family's affairs would be handed over to Kaifani. Because she is Claude's wife, has the status of a national wife, much higher than her sister Anna, a civilian. But even if Kevin takes over the power of the family, she needs her sister Anna to be there. Claude is very confident in her sister Anna's abilities.

Claude wanted to train herself at Wangdu's military academy, and her mother, sister, brother and Kevin were still living together. So even if my sister is busy developing the woodland, my mother still has Kevin to take care of. When Claude returned this time, he found that his mother was much older and that her body was not very good. If her sister Anna had not become a pharmacist, she would normally take care of her mother very seriously. Perhaps her body would have been even worse.

This is also a major reason why my sister wants to buy a forest farm, and pharmacists are not omnipotent. Mother's illness is not well treated by taking several tubes of medicine. It has developed into a chronic disease in old age. What is needed is daily care, fresh air and a quiet and relaxing life, so that it can benefit the mother's body. The big red brick house is lively and easy to buy on a daily basis, but there are a lot of things to worry about, especially the neighbors of Six Ladies' neighbors who usually like to hang together and gossip, which is the most annoying thing about sister Anna.

Claude therefore suggested that there was no need to make a big move, just to free up a room, such as the one he was living in now, and to set it up as a new house.

So Claude was immediately unanimously praised by his mother and sister. This is too so-so. Marriage is the most important thing in life for every woman. You can't believe you took it so lightly and wanted to fit in so well with the past...

Even Caffrey didn't give Claude a good look this time, even though she agreed with Claude that she wouldn't let her mother, sister and brother leave the house to find somewhere else to live, but Claude did break her heart with the idea of making a house fit. When she wanted her brother-in-law Gerard to marry her sister Catherine, she had to buy a whole house for her wedding in her new neighborhood at the naval base...

Claude ended up sitting in a restaurant listening to three women talking about it, and as for his little brother, Brooke, he ran back to the attic under a very eye-catching pretext. McJackie and Big Gummy are naturally intriguing, saying they left after going to the Temple of War.

Claude bears the crap and chat of three women: her mother, her sister, and Keffany, and from time to time returns the subject to the right place, because they often talk about where they have gone, even a new style of clothing can be debated for half a day...

Fortunately, at the end of the conversation, my sister Anna had an idea, and the slap set the final solution. Why don't we just move something and build a second floor?

The big red brick house used to be a commercial dual-use apartment, apart from the one on the left for the Fields family, the second and third floors of the next three floors plus three lofts were rental suites, and the first floor was a shop. After their mother and sister moved back from the Normanly Forest Farm, they happened to have no renewal of the store and encountered security problems. She simply went to Uncle Thomas's building business and asked the workers to build a wall and wrap the whole big red brick house inside.

Only then, the shop on the ground floor would be useless, and my sister simply changed the first floor to the same apartment upstairs, which is a little smaller. There are three suites upstairs, and the upstairs floor has been converted into six small suites, ideal for couples or single occupants. So we rebuilt a foreign rental, and it was quickly robbed and vacated.

Now the big red brick house is full of walls on all sides, and my sister Anna came up with the idea that the empty space inside the wall, especially the Claude house, is 11 or 12 meters away from the wall, which was where Mr. Morsan would park his carriage when he feasted his friends. Now surrounded by the fence, it's a big open space.

Sister Anna said that we don't need money, we have free space, so just build another row of two floors from the fence and tear it down. When Claude got married, her mother, herself and her younger brother, as well as Mike and Big Gemmy, could all live in this row of two-story houses and leave this building here for Claude and Caffrey to make a new one. When Claude returns to Wang Du, then she and her mother and brother will move back. The second floor next to this row can also be rented for shopping...

This program was supported and endorsed by all of us here, and then the second topic, Claude and Caffrey's honeymoon room, should be arranged on that floor. This is Mother slapping, she gave up her room on the third floor, and then Claude and Caffrey returned to the third floor, one in the master bedroom and the other in the children's room.

When Claude returned to Wangdu, her mother moved back to the room where Albert had previously lived on the second floor, and the study next to her was arranged as usual. The attic can be used for little brother Buck. As for sister Anna, she decided to stay in the second floor where she was going to build her own pharmacy, or she could go with Kevin...

So it was decided, and Claude was set up with a whole bunch of things, and with all his talent in mind, Claude needed to design the rows of two-storey buildings that he was ready to build, and depending on the length of the wall, he could build eight connected rooms, or four separate upper and lower two-storey buildings. This is Claude's old job, and he's not allowed to get away with it.

In addition to designing this row of two floors, Claude also needs to remodel the whole big red brick house. At least his new look can't be too worn out, and of course he can't remodel the separate building on the left alone, so simply remodel the whole big red brick house again. Anyway, there is money and there is no need to save money on this.

This is just the beginning, after these two things, Claude still needs to go to the woodland, choose a site to design the house in the woodland, and make a holistic plan for the entire woodland area as requested by her sister Anna, so that the family can better develop the woodland in the future...

Claude could only laugh bitterly, and he never expected to come back to visit his relatives and make himself busy. But there was no way he could escape these things, let alone get rid of them, but to bury his head and work hard.

On September 12, 581, the Holy Light, Claude and Caffrey were officially married at the Temple of the Moon in White Deer City...
