165. Chapter 162: Boreas's Family Crest? The Significance of Survival
165.
"Is this my family crest?"
Evening arrives, and the etiquette class enters its final stages.
Alice's loud exclamation was heard in the classroom.
The strong emotion seemed to convey her surprise to everyone through her voice.
Next to the table, the candlelight of the ceiling lamp was very bright. Edna was still in high spirits, with a smile welded on her face.
The average life expectancy in this world is very low. If a civilian is forty years old, half a year is enough to leave obvious signs of aging on his body.
But as a noble, she can at least ensure a healthy diet and a regular schedule, and she doesn't do any heavy physical work. Time is often "tolerant" to money, and there are no obvious signs of aging on her body.
——There is no sign of hunchback in her demeanor, and her posture remains dignified.
But the wrinkles on his face seemed to have become deeper.
Focus on the nasolabial folds around the corners of the mouth.
It's probably the aftereffect of keeping smiling.
Alan thought so as he looked at Edna's smiling face.
If it were in later generations, it would be considered an occupational disease.
Lower your head.
In his sight, several heads were crowded together, reading a beautifully wrapped book on the table.
His vision was completely blurred.
Alan twitched his mouth helplessly.
Damn, I can't see anything at all.
The family crest of Boreas?
I haven't seen the original manga or the anime.
I have traveled through the capital for several years and still haven't seen it before - under the king's nose, nobles from all over the country and even other countries gathered here. In this case, weakening the presence of one's own family is the first priority for survival. Whose family is not a top noble? Are you showing off here?
Therefore, the taboo of mentioning royal power emphasizes the collective sense of existence under the royal power system, which is the core of the overall power system of the royal capital's officialdom.
Officials wear official uniforms with the Asura national emblem printed on them almost every day, and rarely wear them in private clothes.
Although Allen had attended an aristocratic school, the aristocratic education in the capital emphasized the history of the kingdom and the history of the family. Why not go to the aristocratic school in your own territory to learn?
So Alan has never seen it.
A little curious.
Um.
He took a deep breath, and under Edna's smiling gaze, he glanced at the heads that were blocking his view.
No! It's normal for me to be curious.
What's wrong with you two!!
Among the heads standing in front of him, there were one with white hair that smelled like the special perfume of the Boreas family, and Sylphy and Rudy with short brown hair.
Gileno's big head with cat ears and Alice's small head with hair the same color as red paint were also crowded in front of the books.
Difficult to stretch.
".Um. Alice, Gilenu, why are you guys looking at this? Haven't you seen the family crest of Boreas?"
"No!"
"No."
Alan covered his face in pain.
A loyal guard who has been here for several years and has never seen the family crest?
I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I will be willing to become your adoptive father.
Gileno, you are so loyal!
And you, Alice, you are the only child of Philip and his wife, and the direct heir. Isn't it reasonable that you have never seen the family emblem?
It's really a great act of filial piety.
Don't etiquette classes teach these things?
He rubbed his face, pulled himself together, and looked up at Edna.
The latter smiled to himself.
Very dignified.
Then he avoided his sight.
Alan: ?
Just as he was about to ask Edna what was going on, he found that she was not simply avoiding his sight, but was looking at the bookshelf beside her.
Alan followed her gaze.
It was a history book, and there was some dust on it.
He instantly realized what the other party meant.
The Boreas family crest should be studied in history class.
As one of the four great nobles of Asura, Boreas is within the scope of palace history.
It is not within the scope of her teaching.
As for why Alice and Gileno hadn't seen it, it was also very simple.
This should be a compulsory subject in aristocratic schools, and it is a detailed knowledge that will inevitably be involved after completing the stage of national history.
But unfortunately, Alice was a puncher in the aristocratic kindergarten. If she could really learn something in the aristocratic school, she would not be so bad at math, reading and writing. Although her biological brother Allen went to an aristocratic school and learned to read and write, he ran away to the dojo to become an orphan before he finished learning the history of the kingdom in the history class.
Ever since Alice was sent back from the aristocratic school, Philip has been serving as the Boreas family's history teacher.
Mayor Roya has a lot of government affairs to deal with, and Alice and Gileno are both illiterate. If you want to study history, it doesn't require you to be able to write, but at least you need to be able to "read", right?
Apparently Alice's reading and writing abilities weren't up to the task.
So it has been put on hold.
According to the original novel, before Rudy arrived, Philip and Saulos had no intention of training Alice to be well-educated and well-mannered.
In the story line without Rudy's time travel, it is even more obvious. Alice was eventually sent to the Asura Knights by the two of them to help Ariel become king, and she enjoyed the "great reputation" of the "Red Lion" in the royal capital.
Of course, this title has nothing to do with being well-educated and well-mannered.
Or is it because Alice has the personality to never argue if she can take action?
Alan blinked at the thought.
strangeness.
As a family crest of a top noble, shouldn't it be visible in a very conspicuous place in the mansion of Boreas? For example, carved on the wall, embroidered on clothes. This should be the honor of the nobles, right?
He lowered his eyes and looked at the heads of Gileno and Alice.
There was no need to check the other person's clothes again. Under the increasingly advanced "sensory flow", the memory information of their time together over the past six months was flipped through in front of him like a slide show.
Alice, Gilena, Hilda, Philip, Saulos.
Even servants.
No one in the Boreas family has ever seen anything like a family crest.
And coincidentally.
There is no description of this in the original novel or the anime.
Not a coincidence? But a necessity?
Thinking of this, Alan looked up at Edna and asked the question in his heart.
"Ms. Edna, shouldn't the family crest be a symbol of family glory that the nobles are proud of? Why didn't I see it in the Boreas family?"
At this moment, Edna seemed a little excited. She suddenly interrupted Alan in a rare and rude way. Her tone was solemn and her voice was a little excited, which scared Alan.
"The four great noble families of Asura each have their own family crests, representing their respective glory and bloodline!"
"Different family crests have different meanings and different shapes, but they have one thing in common. Almost all noble crests use ferocious monsters or beasts as the composition of the family crest. The meanings vary, such as bravery, tenacity, nobleness, dignity, and other superficial 'glory'."
"but"
"Boreas is different."
As Edna spoke, footsteps were heard from outside the window.
Hasty, brave, step after step.
Even though it is night now, he seems to be full of energy and tireless.
Without Alan turning his head deliberately to identify, he could tell that it was the footsteps of Sauros returning to the mansion. Although he was old, he seemed to be worried about Philip and often went to handle some government affairs in Roya in person, and often returned to the mansion at this time.
He is a practical man.
In the sight, the smile on Edna's face had disappeared, and she looked at Alan very seriously.
"Other nobles focus on the glory of the 'present' and the 'past', while Boreas looks to the 'future'."
"The fact that the Fituoya Territory already exists on this land is not what Boreas is pursuing."
"The Feitoya Territory will exist forever on this land."
"That's what Boreas is after."

166. Chapter 163 Wings of the Heart? Heart of Iron! The New Teacher of the Etiquette Class
166.
Alan looked at Edna, and saw that she was so solemn that she was willing to put away the professional smile that was welded on her face.
His face looked a little dazed.
These words connected his thoughts to a plot that he disliked in the Wuzhi novel he read in his previous life.
The next moment.
Blessings come to the soul.
He lowered his head, trying to focus his gaze on the source of the words.
In front of the table, all the heads turned away - Alice and the others turned to look at Edna, their attention completely captured by what she had just said.
On the table, the light from the candle licked the slightly yellowed paper.
The book "A Complete Collection of Noble Family Coats" was opened, and a double-page spread hand-painted by a craftsman was displayed. It was so exquisite that Alan saw the black and white family coat of arms that seemed to jump out of the paper.
it.
In 'Flap Wings'.
The black and white brushstrokes make the texture of the feathers come alive.
A pair of wings.
It's not a static posture with its wings folded, but a posture of flapping its wings as if ready to fly. At first glance, it seems as if there is a slight chill blowing past.
It was a strong wind.
The feathers are fluttering and flying in the painting.
