Chapter 129 Better Than Father and Son

While Lady Heather was still alive, Leo was too young to travel far, so he never visited Moonlight Castle.

By the time the children grew a little older, the Baron had remarried and was becoming increasingly estranged from Moonlight Castle, making it impossible for him to take the children to visit Moonlight Castle anymore.

The plan was for Neander, after he came of age, to visit every year as the heir to the Glowing Mushroom family. Later, when Lisa came of age, she joined them, and the two siblings would come to visit together—Leo would have to wait.

nowadays.

Leo had come of age, and under the Baron's arrangement, the three siblings came together to celebrate their grandfather, Earl Evening Primrose's, birthday.

"We have now entered the Moonlight Lake area," Knight Commander Louis announced loudly. "Young masters and ladies, if you wish to rest, you may visit the nearest manor or town. The Glowing Fungus family has properties here."

Leo asked Neander curiously, "Brother, our family actually owns properties around Moonlight Lake?"

Neander rolled his eyes: "What's so strange about that? It's my mother's dowry."

"Oh." Leo understood immediately.

In aristocratic marriages, the woman's dowry was very generous. Although it was entrusted to the groom's family for unified management, the dowry legally belonged only to the woman. In the event of a divorce, the woman had the right to take the dowry with her.

If the mistress of the house dies, the dowry will be inherited by her children; if she has no children, the dowry will be returned to her family.

The male head of the household has no right to inherit this dowry.

Neander glanced at Leo, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "My mother and father had an agreement that this dowry would be handed over to the family for unified management, without being divided, and would be directly incorporated into the family property."

Leo chuckled, ignoring the comment.

He understood what his elder brother meant: a warning to Leo not to try to get a share of their mother's dowry, as it all belonged to Neant.

But who knows if Neander's words are true or false.

In any case, Leo will have to ask the Baron when he gets back whether Lady Heysel really made an agreement with him.

Before we knew it, the dimly lit road became brighter and brighter, and in some places, there were even one or two large, bare trees.

After a while, we arrived at our destination.

In the distance, a dazzling castle could be faintly seen, standing tall against the dark night sky.

It was far larger, taller, and brighter than the Fluorescent Mushroom Castle.

This is Moonlight Castle, the power center of the Evening Primrose family, one of the ten noble earl families of the White Rose Kingdom, located on the shore of Moonlight Lake.

When the road reached the shore of a Moonlight Lake of unknown size, it split into two paths, one to the south and one to the north. The southern path led to the city on the south shore of Moonlight Lake, Lakelight City; the northern path led to the castle of light, Moonlight Castle.

Along the lakeside road, rows of tall, bare trees stood in welcome.

The flower bed is filled with all kinds of evening primroses. These flowers look a lot like sesame seeds, with small yellow flowers in segments that emit a warm yellow light.

Along the entire road, the unique, delicate, and subtle fragrance of evening primrose was soothing and refreshing that it seemed to calm the sweltering heat. After a quick cleanse with holy light and fighting spirit, one felt instantly refreshed.

The summer heat is no longer felt.

The Evening Primrose family knights guarding the lakeside immediately rushed to the castle to announce the arrival of the three siblings.

When Leo and his party arrived at the magnificent Evening Primrose Castle, a procession of ceremonial knights escorted them across the large lawn of the outer castle to the gate of the inner castle, where carriages were parked everywhere, all of them guests who had come to offer their birthday wishes.

A noble couple, with three children of varying ages, were already standing at the door to greet the three siblings.

Upon seeing them, Neander immediately dismounted and strode to the noble couple, bowing respectfully: "Uncle, Aunt, thank you for coming to greet us. Hex, Haja, Hela, you've all grown up!"

Olive followed closely behind Neander: "Greetings, Uncle and Aunt."

Lisa tugged at Phoenix and stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle, Aunt, we've come to wish Grandpa a happy birthday."

Leo fell behind.

He was somewhat reserved, mainly because he didn't know anyone.

But with his handsome face, it was impossible for him to remain inconspicuous anywhere. Among the noble couple, especially the male nobleman, Leo's uncle Hemingway Evening Primrose, recognized him at a glance.

"Is that Leo?" Hemingway beckoned. "Come here, let your uncle take a good look at you. I even held you when you were a baby!"

'

Leo stepped forward, smiled, and bowed slightly, saying, "Uncle, Aunt."

Hemingway was around thirty-two or thirty-three years old and exceptionally handsome, but Leo knew that he was actually thirty-nine years old. It was only because of his cultivation as a second-level bishop that he could maintain his youth forever, which made him appear younger than he actually was.

Those with the bloodline of the Evening Primrose family all possess the talent of a priest.

Mrs. Heysel was a Level 1 priest.

However, his genes were impacted by the fluorescent mushroom family, which prevented the priest's talent from being passed down. If Leo hadn't had some special abilities, he wouldn't have become a priest.

of course.

Perhaps it was precisely because he possessed a bit of priestly talent that the Sun Mark was able to help him successfully embark on the path of a priest.

"So lifelike, so lifelike!" Hemingway exclaimed in amazement.

He then turned to his wife and asked, "Helly, look at me, doesn't Leo look remarkably like me?"

Heryl Bonefest, Leo's aunt, looked closely at Leo upon hearing this, then at her thirteen-year-old son beside her, and exclaimed, "They really do look alike. Compared to Hextech, Leo and you are more like father and son."

She wasn't considered pretty.

Although she had three children, a son named Hex and two daughters named Heya and Hela, none of them perfectly inherited the handsome faces of the Evening Primrose family.

On the contrary, Leo, his nephew, perfectly inherited the handsome looks of the Evening Primrose family.

Leo was already used to people being handsome, and he asked gently, "Uncle, are these Hextech, Heya, and Hela?"

Although young, Hextech already exudes gentlemanly manners in every gesture: "Hextech greets Brother Leo."

"Haiya and Hela greet Brother Leo." The two sisters greeted him cheerfully.

"Come on, let's go inside first." Hemingway gestured. "You've traveled a long way, so take a good shower and cleanse yourself before you come to see your grandfather—oh, Leo's grown up so fast, Father will be very happy to have you here."

"I should have come to visit my grandfather sooner."

"We wouldn't dare let you risk coming here before you're an adult; the journey is long and ultimately dangerous."

After entering the castle, Aunt Holly had already arranged for a group of servants to take the three siblings and their five children to bathe and change.

As for knights like Louis and Pluto, there were naturally special places to receive them.

"Young Master Leo, we've come to help you with your bath." Several fairly attractive maids, carrying various toiletries, escorted Leo into the private bathroom in the guest room and began to help him undress.

Of course, this only applies to taking off clothes.

Leo took his own bath; the maids at most stood outside the curtain, helping to pass him soap and towels.

He would hand over his underwear, but wouldn't personally help Leo scrub or wipe his body.

uh-huh.

If Leo requests it, the maids would probably be happy to do so.

"Phew." Soaking in the warm bathtub, Leo let out a long sigh of relief. Summer makes it easy to sweat, and he hates the sticky feeling that comes with sweat. "Luckily, I transmigrated into a nobleman's body, so I can take a bath every day."

If one were to transmigrate into the body of a commoner or even a serf, only able to bathe once every few days or even months, that would be worse than being killed.

Water splashes lightly.

Leo raised his hand, the sun mark on his palm already radiating warmth as soon as he entered this magnificent castle.

It's just that there's no opportunity to trigger it.
