Marian rejected Pedro's invitation and took his companions to take a steam car rental.

After getting on the bus, Lily reported the address, the steamer slowly started, left the train station in the suburbs, and drove towards the inner city.

You can see the majestic octave from the windows of the steamer from afar. Rand can become the capital of Castia. In addition to being located in the middle of the southern region and being convenient for transportation, another reason should be this octave.

The minaret of Rand is obviously taller than the minaret of Musai Harbor. Although it is still not as good as the first minaret of the mainland in the imperial capital, it is no less than that of the minaret of the mainland.

Rand's inner city street is spacious and straight, dividing each block into small blocks. The houses along the street are exactly the same square multi-story brick buildings.

More than 80 years ago, Lant flattened and rebuilt the inner city, built the first batch of square brick buildings in the empire and the first batch of cement roads that could not be rutted. It swept away the chaotic small streets and alleys in the past, and became the most neat city at that time.

Some people think that such orderly planning is a kind of beauty, while others think that such cities have no personality.

There is a legend that Rand's urban planning was made by the great inventor Lee Baptist, but he himself did not admit it. After all, his political stance was closer to the royal family in the imperial capital.

The steamer arrived at the destination. An inconspicuous five-story brick building with no yard and three gates along the street. It should be that the three households jointly owned the brick building, with the interior part open, each accounting for one-third.

The luggage of the five people was very simple. Jacques unloaded several boxes with the help of the driver, most of which were Marian's things.

Lily went to knock on the door, and several other girls followed, leaving Jacques to guard the roadside luggage.

The servant opened the door, said a few words to Lily, then turned around and went in to inform the master.

Jacques was bored on the side of the road. A steam car drove past him and stopped not far ahead. The door opened and a slim woman got out of the car with her waist. The door next door opened and a group of people rushed out, rushing forward and rushing, asking about her well-being, carrying her luggage, and opening the road ahead, and being very busy.

Is it an important person? Haha, it's just that Jacques recognized that woman was the one who changed seats with them and disliked Fatty Orange.

The next door was busy and noisy, and Lily's uncle Dan Nasselli also came out to greet him.

Everyone entered the house and threw their luggage to the servants for transport.

As Dan Nasselli came to the living room, Jacques found that Lily's father, Mr. Nasselli, was not there. He whispered to Lily to find out that Mr. Nasselli was teaching Little Kay in the underground training room, and the two of them would arrive later.

Everyone sat down one after another, Marian sat next to Lily, Alisha and Emma sat in the side seats, and Jacques sat quietly to the corner alone.

Dan Nasselli is only a few years older than Lily's father, but the energy-shaping master has not broken through to the master. He looks older, and seems to be more than ten or twenty years older than his younger brother.

Jacques had known for a long time that although the old man inherited the title of Count Nasselli, he did not inherit much land. He was not even as good as the Fabian family as the viscount. The Fabian family occupied half of a town, which was really a thousand hectares of fertile land.

Perhaps it has been because of the separation of families many times, so the land of the Nasselli family has also been divided many times. This is a common problem for the great nobles who like marriage. They cannot support important offspring at all, and it is difficult to adhere to the tradition of inheriting land and following the title.

For example, if the youngest son who did not inherit the title married another count's daughter, this marriage was a symbol of alliance between the two parties. It was a common operation for the new couple to draw up thousands of acres of land and donate it to them. After all, in those years, there was no other industry that could bring long-term benefits except land.

In other words, in recent decades, commerce and industry have developed, and some factories have far exceeded the land harvest. Even some rental apartments or shops with good locations will have higher returns than thousands of acres of land. Some great nobles have begun to use these industries to replace land and divide the land.

The fief of Count Dan Nasselli is more than 200 miles away from Rand and is now managed by his son. The Count himself has only retired as a senior official of the Ministry of Interior in recent years because he once served in the Castia government. He has made greater contributions to the family by staying in Rand than to retire in the countryside.

The Count was very enthusiastic about Lily. In his words, Lily was her favorite niece, and she was naturally happy after losing it. If she had not learned from Mr. Nasselli that Lily had survived the explosion, she would have cried with joy and cried in tears.

However, Earl Dan Nasselli did not give Jacques any good face. When Lily introduced her, she just nodded, but was very enthusiastic about Alisha. It seemed that she was an old acquaintance with Lord Astori.

Of course Jacques knew why the count didn't like him. On the one hand, he didn't really believe that the explosion was done by Robert, and believed that Jacques took the opportunity to save Lily and deceived his niece and ruined a marriage, otherwise the Nasselli family would be the in-laws of the prime minister!

Another point has nothing to do with Robert. Even if Lily cannot marry Robert, she is a member of the Nasselli family. When will it be her turn to decide the marriage of a noble? Lily is so outstanding, less than 25 years old, the peak extraordinary person of the power shaping master, so why not find another marriage with a good match?

Of course, these are the ideas of Count Nasselli himself. In his opinion, everyone in the family should use the interests of the family as the highest purpose.

Back then, his younger brother, Lily's father, escaped from marriage and fled to the New World. He became a master at the age of 40 and returned to his hometown. It was precisely because his younger brother became a master that their father was not good at speaking that he allowed him to marry a civilian woman.

However, since he has not made any contribution to his family, the family does not support him much, and the Superman Guild, which has been wasting more than 20 years in Musai Port, will not be promoted.

Earl Nasselli had high hopes for her niece, especially when she heard that she and Earl Baptiste's only son were childhood sweethearts. What she didn't expect was that Robert the little boy soared into the sky, first created a train and railway company, and then served as an auxiliary government official and in charge of finance.

By this time the count had already begun to worry that his niece was a good match for marrying the earl's son, and marrying one of the four major auxiliary government officials was obviously a step further. So he used his energy to push the two families to get married as soon as possible, but he did not expect that his niece was delaying again and again.

Then there was the unexpected big explosion, the prime minister died, and Robert took the opportunity to become the new prime minister.

The Count cried several times for his niece's beauty, and regretted that the Nasseri family had lost a chance to soar.

It was not until a year ago that my younger brother resigned from his position as the president of the guild and defected to him with a young girl of unknown origin. After many questions, my younger brother told the truth. His niece actually escaped from the explosion, but thought that Robert was the culprit of the explosion and did not dare to show up and went to the new world.

Not to mention how could the Prime Minister be the mastermind behind the explosion? It is not a mess. He would rather not know the news! What’s even more annoying is that his younger brother also said that his niece found his own happiness. The boy was not only a civilian, but also her apprentice!

As for the extraordinary, the age difference is not big on the surface, and marriage between masters and apprentices is not a big deal. However, the Earl never expected that how could the always well-behaved niece choose another civilian like her younger brother!

I really regret not making up my mind to bring my niece to the side to train me. It seems that I have been greatly influenced by my younger brother and have no sense of a noble.

Earl Nasselly never expected that his niece, who was said to be still in the New World, suddenly appeared at the door of his house today, and actually brought that boy with him. Apart from his appearance, he was ordinary and very annoying!
