Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 255: Mr. Lambert's past

"Of course the dragon lich is dead." Mr. Lambert said, "if it weren't for the main force of the family at the time to go to another place to deal with the matter, the evil dragon lich would not have caused such a big loss. So after the main force returned, they soon contacted the God of War Church and killed the dragon lich together."

"Originally, if they were hiding in the basement of the family manor, there would be nothing, but in order to protect the innocent people in the city, they took the guard to attack the dragon lich to attract its attention, and then used the manor itself. His defense dragged the dragon lich for nearly half an hour, gaining enough time for the people to escape."

"They are real heroes, but father, why haven't you told me the great things my grandparents did before?" Lawrence asked curiously, because Mr. Lambert did say his parents were Heroes, but never specifically said what heroic things should be done.

"Because you were young at that time, and after talking about your grandparents' heroic incident, you will talk about our family's situation. I think what you said at that time is not good for your growth, so I plan to wait for you to become an adult and tell everything. You." At this point, Mr. Lambert smiled proudly.

"Unexpectedly, you were admitted to university and left home before you became an adult. So I never had time to tell you about this. In fact, if it wasn't for my brother's accident this time, you would go back to our home this time. I will tell you these things."

"On the other hand," Mr. Lambert paused at this point, and then reached out his hand to touch his father’s tombstone and said, "I left home because I had some conflicts with my family, so I have been with my family. There is a knot in the relationship. I think this is another reason why I haven't told you about the situation at home before."

Having said that, Mr. Lambert took a few steps forward to another tombstone, then pointed to the tombstone and said. "She is your mother, you bow to her."

Lawrence seriously bowed three times to the tombstone, then raised his head to look at the tombstone. This tombstone is carved from a pink-blue stone that looks a bit lively. In the center of the tombstone is carved a bust of a young woman.

"Mother looks very gentle." Lawrence said after looking at the relief on the stone tablet. The relief carved on this relief is a woman with long hair and a round face wearing glasses, and she should be a very gentle woman.

"Yes, your mother is the most gentle and kind-hearted woman I have ever met." Mr. Lambert sighed and said. "Moreover, she is still a very smart person. Although she is not extraordinary, she is still considered the best among her peers. For example, she was the first regular female college student in the Federation."

"Female college student?" Lawrence widened his eyes in surprise. As far as he knew, because of the existence of extraordinary power, the gender equality of men and women in this world was much better than that of the same era in his previous life, but this does not mean that he can achieve complete equality. . For example, in education, although girls' schools have appeared very early, they are more inclined to cultivate women's social etiquette and female skills. Instead of conducting academic education like formal universities.

That is, more than 20 years ago, the top three in the Northland of the New World began to try to carry out educational reforms to allow women to enter universities like men, but until now, the majority of universities are men. It can be said that the women who can enter the university are all elites, even higher than their male classmates on average.

"Yes, female college students. Her family is a hereditary knight family that owns a knight manor, but she is the only one left in her generation." Mr. Lambert explained, "Your grandparents passed away earlier. , So when she became an adult, she found a son-in-law to get married to keep her noble title."

"But just in the second year after she got married and went to school, her first husband died unexpectedly during a hunting event. After that, another man who tried to marry her met an extraordinary monster on the way to be engaged. She was killed in the attack. In addition, a baron who wanted her to be his lover was also executed by the church for being found out of collusion with the lower planes and plundering child sacrifices, and was completely deprived of his noble status."

"This—Father, you are indeed brave." Lawrence felt that his mother, who had never met, was a bit too hard to say that he could be considered fate according to the words of the previous life.

"No, I'm not brave. In fact, your grandfather arranged my marriage with your mother. You know, I am the second son who has no inheritance rights in the family. And nobles often like to arrange for the sons who do not have inheritance rights in their families. Just as an adult, I will marry women with sufficient financial status, and the most popular marriage partners are wealthy widows." Mr. Lambert talked about the marriage principle within the nobility.

"Sounds—" Lawrence didn't know what to say next. After all, he knew that the descendants of nobles would naturally have to pay a corresponding price when enjoying the convenience provided by various families.

"At first I was not happy when I heard that I was going to marry your mother, and even a little scared. Because let’s not talk about the various remarks and age that your mother circulated in the aristocratic circle at that time about her being unfavorable to her husband. Nearly five years older than me, the fact that I have never seen her makes me feel very upset."

"But for me, who has enjoyed all the benefits of the family, I have no other choice." Mr. Lambert shrugged and said, then a happy smile appeared on his face. "After getting married, I found out that fortunately there was such an arrangement, so I could get to know your mother."

"During that time, under the influence of your mother, on the one hand, I gave up my family’s traditional belief in the **** of war and became a clergyman of the **** of knowledge and taught in school. On the other hand, I ran the capital city together with your mother. The estate near Dobbona belonged to her was also the happiest day of my life."

Although Mr. Lambert's tone was very flat when it came to this, Lawrence heard from here that the mother who had never met had a significant influence on his father.

Unlike people like myself, who are born with little cold to gods because their souls come from another world, most people in this world still have full respect for gods. Therefore, even if people can change their beliefs, the people often choose to believe in multiple gods to increase their beliefs, rather than directly abandon their old beliefs, even if they are not very pious, and become clergymen of another god~lightnovelpub.net~ While Lawrence was thinking about these questions, Mr. Lambert still kept speaking slowly. "It's a pity that the happy life after marriage is only two or three years. Your mother died of illness while pregnant with our first child."

"This made me very sad, and even closed myself up completely for a while, and attended your mother's funeral in a muddle. Fortunately, I slowly recovered under the inspiration of the gods, and at the same time I knew that your mother's soul had entered me. The Lord’s Kingdom of God."

"But not long after I just recovered from the extreme sadness, my father asked me to start a new marriage under his introduction. It was not considered that your mother died less than three months ago. For this, your grandfather and I had a big fight for the first time in our lives."

"In the case that your grandfather refused to give up his order, I chose to hand over the manor to the family as compensation for the family's cultivation of me for so many years, and then left home and went to the New World. I think you know it all."

Having said this, Mr. Lambert sighed and fell into the memory of the past. Lawrence stood quietly by his side, looking at the pale blue tombstone.
