MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 322 Thaddeus' Holiday

  Chapter 322 Thaddeus' Holiday

  My name is Thaddeus, a Spartan, currently serving in the Winter Knights.

  Because of the frequent dispatches some time ago, and not long ago, he was sent to White Rock City in the south of the Kingdom of Tilan to protect the princess of the Kingdom of Tilan and the man named Earl Sutton Stewart.

  So after the mission was over, the group leader Gareth Stanton gave us a group of people a vacation, so that we could do some things we wanted to do and relax.

  A comrade from Sparta like me invited me to go back to Sparta, but I refused, I just want to stay in Winter City.

  The longer I live in Winter City, the less I want to go back to Sparta. Anyway, I don’t have any family members to worry about, and I don’t even want to go back to that backward place.

   Sitting up from the soft and comfortable bed, I looked at the alarm clock beside the bed.

I deliberately turned off the alarm clock before going to bed, but I still woke up at this time. The habit formed for a long time is not so easy to change. Even if I am on vacation today, I can sleep at any time, but now I don’t feel sleepy at all .

   Get up, dress, wash.

  This is my home in Winter City, the Earl of Glamorgan... Oh, it should be the Duke of Glamorgan who is very generous to the soldiers. In addition to the normal salary, there is an extra bonus for each battle.

Since I was usually in the military camp and had no place to spend money at all, I quickly saved up a deposit and then used the money to buy this house, which made me feel like a real winter person .

  Many Spartans who came to Cold Winter with me didn't know that I had made a home here.

   "Good morning, Mr. Thaddeus."

   "Good morning, Marianne."

   It was my tenant who greeted me. Marian and her husband Abbas came from a small village in the southeast of Iron Tree Fort. They came to Winter City after seeing the announcement issued by the Kingdom of Tilan.

   This middle-aged couple and their ten-year-old son Lenny live on the first floor. In addition to paying me a small rent, they will help me clean and look after the house when I am not at home.

   "Good morning, Lord Thaddeus."

   "Good morning, Abbas, I have already said it, don't call me an adult."

   "Master Thaddeus is a knight of the Winter Knights, so of course I must call you my lord."

   "I'm just an ordinary soldier, not a knight yet."

   "Soon to be."

  Having lived in Winter City for so long, I know what the title knight means, but there are rumors that the Duke is going to make some adjustments to these titles, and I don’t know what the situation will be.

   "Lenny, are you still awake? Even Lord Thaddeus has already woken up, and you are still sleeping in. Do you want to go to school without breakfast?"

  Listening to Abbas snarling at his son, I tore off a piece of bread in front of me and stuffed it into my mouth, then forked some scrambled eggs.

   While chewing slowly, he cut off a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing, he took a sip of juice.

   There is no need to rush to training, and there is no need to worry about suddenly having tasks to perform, I will completely relax today...Huh? Why is the meat gone? I seem to have only eaten two or three bites!

  Seeing that there was only a small amount of bread left in my hand, I sighed again: the long-term habit is really not so easy to change!

   After breakfast, I left the restaurant and came to the back door.

  The front door of this house is facing the street, but there is a completely personal yard behind the house. Entering the yard from the back door, the verdant green makes people feel good. I began to consider whether I should make a cup of tea, bask in the sun and read a book in the yard? Just pass the day away like this?

   Just thinking about it, I suddenly found a young girl standing in the yard next door. She has outstanding height and beautiful red hair.

  Looking at the girl's outstanding physique, I think she can give birth to a very healthy and strong Spartan warrior. Shall I take the initiative to say hello to her? Maybe my son will have a good enough mother!

"Hello!"

Before I had time to speak, the red-haired girl opposite had already greeted me. Although she had a bit of an accent, it was nothing. Many people in Winter City have a bit of an accent, and it will gradually disappear after living for a while. .

   "Hi, my name is Thaddeus."

   "My name is Sansa Stark."

   "Stark?" This surname is so familiar, where does it seem to be heard often? After thinking about it for a few seconds, I couldn't think of it, and I was too lazy to continue to dwell on this question: "Did you just come to Winter City?"

   "I just came here not long ago..."

  The girl named Sansa was only halfway through speaking when another blond girl came out from the house next door. The girl looked at me in surprise: "You are..."

   "My name is Thaddeus."

   "Oh, you are the owner of this house. I heard Marian mentioned you."

  The blond girl immediately put on a bright smile. It seems that she was doubting my identity just now. I don’t care about it. It’s a good thing for young girls to be a little wary. It’s not very peaceful in Winter City recently.

   "My name is Shirley Birkin. I just moved here and I'm your neighbor."

   "So that's it... Welcome to Winter City."

   I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to say this sentence. Seeing Shirley thank me with a smile, I feel more and more that I am a real winter person.

I chatted with the two neighbors through the low wall. I really wanted to introduce this beautiful city to the two 'newcomers' as the host, but when I was about to speak, I realized that I actually had a lot of love for the city of Winter. What are the fun places, it is not so well understood.

  After all, I spend most of my time in the military camp, and Winter City is developing very fast. During this holiday, I found that there are more houses in the whole city, and a lot of newly opened shops.

   But it doesn't matter, I can act as a flower protector!

  No matter where the two girls want to go, I will go with them.

   "Sansa wants to visit the school."

   "School?" I thought about it, the real school in Winter City is Winter Academy: "Winter Academy?"

   "Yes." Shirley nodded, affirming my guess: "Sansa wants to know what her peers here in Winter City usually do."

"peer?"

   "Yes, Sansa is only thirteen years old."

   "..."

  I looked at Shirley, then at Sansa. I seriously suspected that Shirley was fooling me. How could she look like she was only thirteen years old?

   But if you think about it in another direction, you have such a good physique at the age of thirteen, and you will definitely grow into a very good mother in the future!

But the surname Stark makes me a little concerned. This seems to be a great... um... The chief consultant of Winter City seems to be named Stark. This Sansa Stark, could it be that consultant? daughter?

  I was a little flustered in my heart, and kept thinking about my performance just now, whether I offended this girl named Sansa.

  Because I gradually remembered that the lord advisor didn't seem to be a very easy person to get in touch with. If I somehow provoke him, would my good life in Winter City come to an end?

  Headache, do you want to apologize first?

   Fortunately, I soon learned that Sansa Stark had nothing to do with that consultant, and it seemed that I didn't have to worry about being troubled by the chief consultant.

  At the same time, I also learned that Shirley is currently working in the Sheriff's Department and became a patrol officer not long ago.

   What a surprise, Shirley and Sansa stand together, I think Sansa is the one with stronger fighting power, but the actual situation is completely opposite.

   "I know Abbas works on Marty and Diogo's farm; Marianne works at the corner grocery store; Thaddeus, what do you do?"

   "I serve in the Knights of Winter." Head held high, I am very proud of who I am.

   But I didn't see surprise and admiration in the two girls. Shirley showed a little surprise, but Sansa...what's the matter with that expression of not knowing what the Winter Knights are?

   I remembered that Sansa said that she had just arrived in Winter City not long ago, so it didn't seem strange that she didn't know what the Winter Knights meant.

   Seeing Shirley whisper a few words in Sansa's ear, Sansa sighed suddenly: "So it's a knight."

  Although he was surprised, it was completely different from the reaction I wanted!

   Depressed, I took the public bus to Winter Academy, and I hardly had much chance to speak during the next visit.

   Knowing that Shirley brought Sansa to visit the school, the school directly sent a special person to take us on a tour, introduce various situations of the school throughout the process, and answer various questions raised by Sansa and Shirley at any time.

  Beside him were two soldiers from the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment accompanying them as 'guards' in case of any emergencies.

  Looking at these two unlucky guys, I am once again thankful that I have joined the Winter Knights, otherwise I would usually be assigned to come to the school for rotation work, which would be too uncomfortable.

  Thinking like this, I finally waited until the end of the visit, but before I had time to walk out of the academy, I saw a familiar figure waiting there and stopped Sansa Stark directly.

   Lord David, the Duke of Glamorgan, the lord of Winter City, actually came to find Sansa specifically? What's happening here?

   And judging by the expression and content of the conversation between the Duke and Shirley, it seems that this neighbor is not an ordinary person!

  What are the identities of these two girls?

   Just as I kept guessing the real identities of Shirley and Sansa, the Duke of Glamorgan, who was regarded as a **** in Sparta, suddenly walked in front of me.

   "You are Thaddeus, a student of the second phase of Sparta, and you are currently serving in the Winter Knights."

   "Yes, my lord!"

  Looking at the Duke of Glamorgan right in front of me, I was very excited!

   Your Excellency the Duke knows my name, does this mean that I have been noticed by the Duke long ago? Maybe soon I will be able to get promoted and raise my salary, become the head of the Winter Knights, marry Bai Zhuangmei, and reach the pinnacle of my life!

   Thinking about it, I am a little excited! As for Sansa... what three fools?
