Chapter 373 - 231: Well, Here Comes the Family Drama
Tulip Royal Capital, a city almost four times the size of Pat City, impressed everyone with its grandeur and vastness upon entering.
Perhaps due to the impending Kingdom War, a large number of people and horses gathered at the gates of the Royal Capital.
Just like Loren City, the Royal Capital also had exclusive passages for the nobility.
However, at this moment, due to the multitude of nobles congregating, even the noble passages were crowded, and Thor’s party could only join at the end of the queue.
Nevertheless, his large knight team still attracted the attention of many nobles.
"Eagle emblem?"
"Dressrosa?"
Seeing the flag flying high, the attracted nobles couldn’t help but be amazed, especially among some top-ranking nobles.
Even though a year had passed, as the Dressrosa Family began to expand, this newly emerging Count’s Clan gradually caught everyone’s attention.
Anyone with up-to-date information would know that the current Count Engel of the Dressrosa Family had advanced to a Sky Knight and had even subdued the powerful old Marquis Spencer Family.
"Is that the Dressrosa Family?"
"It should be a branch of the Dressrosa Family; it’s said that Count Engel has already arrived at the Royal Capital."
"The Dressrosa Family, they’re really lucky. They might advance to Marquis this Kingdom War."
"Yes, a Sky Knight, that’s a Sky Knight. If only our family had a Sky Knight."
....
Amidst numerous voices, many turned to look.
Thor wasn’t too concerned about these. Throughout his journey, he had traversed the Northern Province, Frost Moon Province, and parts of Xiyue Province.
The reputation of the Dressrosa Family in the Kingdom was something he was already familiar with.
"Is this the Royal Capital?"
"It’s huge!"
Reine murmured to himself.
Thor smiled and couldn’t help but recall a scene from his memory.
At that time, he had followed his father.
His father led him, his seventh brother, and fourth brother to the Royal Capital to visit their eldest brother.
Honestly, it had been nearly ten years since he last saw his eldest brother.
As the heir of the Dressrosa Family, his eldest brother was sent to the Royal Capital at the age of twelve to study at East City Academy, later learning noble matters under a Court Count.
Even his predecessor’s memory was somewhat hazy now.
"Good, let’s go see!"
Murmuring to himself, Thor’s memories suggested that his eldest brother seemed to treat him well, those brief interactions deeply entrenched in his predecessor’s memories.
While Thor’s thoughts wandered, a commotion erupted within the knight team.
"What’s happening?"
Retracting his thoughts, Thor asked, furrowing his brow.
"Sir, a noble wishes to see you, claiming to be Germann Vieira, your elder brother."
As Thor spoke, a knight quickly stepped forward, respectfully addressing him.
"Germann Vieira?"
Thor raised his eyebrows, appearing somewhat surprised.
It wasn’t that he remembered this Germann Vieira, but rather the surname caught his attention.
Vieira was his mother Renise Vieira’s family name.
"Let him come over!"
After pondering briefly, Thor nodded, signaling the knight to lead him over.
Soon, two figures appeared in his sight.
One was a girl around fifteen or sixteen, and the other a youth about twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
Both the girl and youth had light blue hair, eyes like sapphires, exuding a comfortable feeling.
Especially the girl, Thor vaguely saw traces of his mother’s appearance in her.
"It’s really you, Thor, my dear brother, it has been so long!"
As they approached, Germann Vieira’s excited voice sounded upon seeing Thor.
"Who are you?"
Thor felt a bit embarrassed but still curiously asked.
In his memory, he really didn’t have this person.
"Oh, my god, Thor, you truly hurt me. I am your elder brother. Remember ten years ago when you visited the Vieira territory, I gifted you my most cherished Sar."
Germann Vieira feigned sadness upon hearing Thor’s words.
"Greetings, Brother Thor!"
"This is my elder brother Germann Vieira, and I am Erica Vieira. Our father is Senel Vieira."
Compared to Germann’s exaggerated expression, the girl was much more composed. Observing Thor’s puzzlement, she slightly curtsied, speaking gently.
"Uncle Senel, apologies, it’s been too long, perhaps I have somewhat forgotten!"
Thor truly felt embarrassed. Senel Vieira was indeed his mother’s brother, the current Count of the Vieira Clan in Nanyue Province.
"Hahaha, Thor, my dear brother, I’m just joking. It has been too long. I almost didn’t recognize you either. If not for recognizing the knightly longsword and hearing of your heroic deeds, I wouldn’t have dared approach."
Germann Vieira spoke with a smile.
"Brother Germann, Sister Erica, please come aboard!"
Thor smiled, nodding, then invited the two of them.
