In the evening, Filin and Eltek were sitting in the study, reading a new educational textbook. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Dear, I'm baking bread. Go and open the door," Irene shouted. "Maybe it's Miss Mey."
"Got it."
He closed the book, went to the door of the living room, and opened the latch. The person standing outside was completely unexpected.
"Father! Why are you here? "Filin was surprised.
"I came with His Highness." The old Sir patted the snow on his shoulder. "I arrived in Border Town yesterday. Although I told them that my son lives here, they still arranged a residence for me in the community near the castle."
"Come in, it's cold outside." Filin quickly stepped aside.
"Well," Sir could not help but be surprised as soon as he stepped into the house. "You also have... heating here?"
"You know about heating?"
"I didn't know until today. Last time, I thought it was too warm in the castle. I thought His Highness was talking about a new type of fireplace. This time, when I visited the City Hall, I found that the house was as warm without an open fire. Only then did I realize that this thing actually relies on steam to generate heat." He took off his coat and hung it on the stand next to the door. "Wait... I remember you didn't know what it was when you went to the castle last time."
"I learned about it through the notice in the City Hall." Filin poured a cup of tea for his father. "Before they do something, they always tell the townspeople some time in advance. Now the notice area in the square is even more popular than the Convenience Market."
"That is to say, in just two months, His Highness installed this thing in the homes of ordinary residents?" Sir smacked his lips. "In this way, I'm afraid it will cost thousands of Golden Dragon."
"Our community is one of the first to be installed. The west and north sides are still in the process of digging trenches. And it is said that the water supply and heating are only part of the Three Supplies Project. When the project is completed, we can live at night like during the day. "
"Live at night like the day?" Sir raised his eyebrows. "Do you mean light more candles or oil lamps?"
"Neither. The people from City hall said that they would send lightning to everyone's home."
"Thunder … lightning?" the old man said in a daze.
"I also think it's incredible, but that's what His Highness said in the propaganda." Filin nodded. "With electricity, the town can be as bright at night as during the day." The strange thing was that although the news sounded ridiculous, he felt that if it was Prince Roland's words, it might not be impossible.
After all, he was always creating new miracles.
"Sir Eltek, Sir Eltek, h-hello …" Irene ran out of the kitchen. In a panic, she was still holding a half-baked bread skewer. When she bowed, she almost dropped the bread on the floor.
Sir chuckled, "Hello, Miss Irene. Actually, you don't have to rush. I'm not hungry yet. "
Filin saw his wife's cheeks instantly turn red.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat. "Today, two more dishes will do. Take your time, there's still a lot of time in the evening."
…
After dinner, Irene finally recovered from her initial nervousness. The three chatted for a while, and then she began to clean up the tableware and table. His father took him to the study. Filin realized that he had something important to tell him.
Sure enough, after Sir sat down at the desk, he calmly asked, "Do you know what happened in Longsong Stronghold these days?"
"I know a little …" Filin organized his words and said, "I heard that there was a rebellion in the four families. His Highness left Longsong Stronghold to quell the rebellion. It was publicized on the bulletin board."
"City hall even said such things?" Sir was startled, and then he gave a general account of what had happened. "Although I also sent someone to pass on the news to His Highness, I didn't expect him to come so quickly. You should be able to guess the result. The Four Great Families couldn't even withstand a single blow from His Highness's troops. The Maple Leaf Family, the Wolf Family, and the Wild Rose Family were completely annihilated, leaving behind only the dying Elk Family.
"What?" Filin was greatly surprised. "Father, could it be that you …"
"Of course it wasn't me," the old man sighed. "I'm already old, and I don't want to get involved in such dangerous things. But your brother is different. He is eager to get more achievements than you, to prove his excellence as an heir. Unfortunately, he is standing in the wrong position. "
"You mean, Miso participated in the rebellion?" Filin's face sank.
Sir nodded. "After the rebellion was defeated, he was captured alive by His Highness's soldiers. On the day of the trial, I went to the square to see him for the last time. "
"…" Filin closed his eyes. Although he had become a household name, the celebrity Knight, and Miso had been targeting him everywhere, he was still his brother after all, and it still made him feel quite uncomfortable that he had ended up in such a situation.
"Because his hands were not stained with blood, and because he surrendered actively, he was sentenced to ten years of labor. Now he should be in the North Slope Mine."
The latter half of his father's words made him instantly come back to his senses. "Ten, ten years of labor? I thought His Highness had … "
"Executed?" Sir shook his head. "When I said for the last time, I meant the last time I saw him as the head of the family. From that moment on, he was no longer a member of the Eltek family."
"You … severed all ties with him."
"That's right." Sir took a deep breath. "I warned him a long time ago, but he never took it to heart. This kind of person, who treats the future of the family as a child's game and gambles with the fate of all his family members, is not a suitable candidate to inherit the family." Although he spoke resolutely, there was obvious sadness in his eyes, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened. "Now, you're my only child."
"Father …" Filin felt a little sore in his eyes, and he involuntarily held the old man's hand.
"I've never begged for anything, but this time, I hope you can inherit the Eltek family. I have a hunch that it will prosper in your hands," Sir said slowly. "This time, I agreed to come with His Highness to occupy a good position in the future reform."
"But the position can't be inherited, Father … the title will also become an honorary title."
"I know, but you've neglected the role of connections and experience. His Highness said that the position should be taken by outstanding people. With the experience of predecessors and the connections that have been developed, your chances of obtaining the same position are far higher than ordinary people." He patted the back of his son's hand. "Even if you still want to be a teacher, I won't force you, as long as you can pass on the family name."
After a long silence, Filin finally nodded and said, "I understand, Father. I promise you. "
"In this way, I can also rest assured." Sir Eltek smiled. "By the way, if you can choose, which part of the work do you want to participate in?"
"This …"
"How about the Second Army? I heard from the commander-in-chief, Iron Axe, that in addition to soldiers fighting on the battlefield, the army seems to need to set up a planning department, and this plan will first be tested in the Second Army. "Sir looked at Filin with great interest." In fact, I know that this current work is not what you like the most. If you really like to deal with books, you wouldn't have chosen to become a Knight. " His father's eyes shone, as if he could see through his inner thoughts. "You're still the same Morning Light, my child." (To be continued.)
