Chapter 255: Family Revival

~5 min read 950 words

"Martha."

Standing by the windowsill and watching the lively scene in the courtyard, Miss Shaliman spoke.

"Yes, my lord."

The second head maid of the Sudar family, who had already stopped pretending, responded directly.

"Build a combat arena in this courtyard. The specifications should match the Royal Knight Corps, and use the highest-grade materials. By the way, find a High Elf to procure a batch of Sealed Snow Stones."

In the courtyard, Hela was pressing Li En and Miss Lana in a fight alone. Although Miss Shaliman could not understand swordsmanship, it seemed all three were quite formidable.

The various furnishings in the courtyard were already completely ruined, and the courtyard itself was not large enough; practicing swordsmanship for one or two people was about the limit. Perhaps an expansion was needed.

Let's use the highest royal specifications. Procure magical materials from the Elves that can absorb sword energy and mana to build a venue where Great Swordsmen can spar. Although it is a bit expensive, it doesn't matter; the Sudars can afford it!

Hearing the head of the family say this, Martha almost lost her composure. She could very well understand the head of the family's feelings upon being accepted by Li En for the first time; wanting to give something was quite normal.

But in this district, which is only slightly better than a slum, directly building a palace-style grand training ground of royal standard, paving it with the treasures of the High Elf race... Do you not think the Sudar family's reputation as nouveau riche is already bad enough?

Martha took a deep breath. She knew that a woman in love probably had little rationality, especially since the head of the family's rationality had been sliding ever since falling in love. Direct persuasion would definitely be useless.

If only there were another rational head of the family... Wait, the other head of the family was even more love-struck and cared even less about others' opinions; she would very likely act even more recklessly and extravagantly.

Let's change the approach to persuasion. How does one deal with a love-struck person?

"Lord Li En seems very low-key and dislikes such waste... He would probably think you are being wasteful." Let's use love to deal with a love-struck person.

"Uh."

Immediately, Miss Shaliman turned around, appearing somewhat fearful and uneasy.

"Then is there any way?!"

Looking at the cute "Young Lady," Martha tilted her head and thought of an idea.

"Actually, we can change our thinking. The rooms in this mansion are a bit insufficient."

"Uh, aren't there still many empty..."

"Insufficient!" Martha glared at her head of the family, still in a bad mood.

"If it looks sufficient, let some servants come over from the main mansion, and then the rooms will be insufficient. So, since the rooms are insufficient, if people from our old mansion come over, we will need another small mansion."

The two tacitly did not discuss the matter of "moving back to the Sudar old mansion." They both realized that Li En did not intend to "live off a woman's wealth" nor did he intend to become a dependent of Shaliman Sudar.

This seemed a bit arrogant, yet even in the eyes of the head maid, Li En had that potential... At least, until he fought until he had no other choice, there was no need to stop him.

And in Shaliman's eyes, the Heroine reincarnated who possessed the "Hall of Heroic Souls" had no reason to become a matrilocal son-in-law of the Sudar family.

In this era, the "family glory" of nobles even surpassed their lives.

Although both are Sudars, the family of Li En Sudar and the family of Shaliman Sudar are completely two different matters.

But in reality, if they really spoke up... Li En might not necessarily refuse. He actually did not care much about dignity or so-called family glory.

"We can buy a few small mansions next door, renovate them to a certain extent, and specifically clear out one room to serve as a training hall. The specifications do not need to be too high; we can even make it open to the public for business, hire a martial arts instructor to teach, and even set up a school... This way, Miss Lana will also have a place to train and learn in her daily life."

Seeing that Miss Shaliman was still a bit confused, the head maid, who also served as an intelligence officer, sighed and directly stated the main point.

"Find someone to take care of the child, and it will not affect you and Lord Li En from having your time alone as a couple."

"Why say that? Little Lana is so cute; she is absolutely not a burden... Let's start executing this today."

Miss Shaliman happily made the decision, her mouth smiling so wide it wouldn't close, as if she had already thought of her happy life.

However, Head Maid Martha still did not look highly upon Lord Li En. He might be a good person, but by any measure, he did not look like an honest man.

The biggest difference between Shaliman and Li En's Sudar family is probably that this household will not have only one mistress.

"Forget it, as long as the Young Lady is happy. The number of family members also needs to be a bit larger to avoid nearly becoming extinct again. Lord Li En's maids are all puppets anyway; how about arranging a few beautiful lizard-person maids for him?"

Looking at the head maid who had watched the Sudar family go from prosperity to just the head of the family alone, she probably hoped for a few more "little masters."
