Chapter 14 01.0014: "Horatio Enters the Manor" (Thanks to the reader Saki An for the tip!)
"Wait, this is your house?! It's really not the palace?"

Horatio's jaw nearly dropped.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Directly in front of the shuttle is a complex of buildings that can be read as official residence or written as palace.

The building complex covers an area of ​​about 3 square kilometers. It is the main residence of Major General Alexander Hood, the owner of the palace. It is hundreds of meters long and about 30 meters high. It is a three-story structure. There is also a Norman square tower on the far right with the imperial eagle flag and family coat of arms on top.

There are extremely long corridors at both ends of the main residence, which are arranged in a ∏ shape from a bird's eye view, connecting two other equally luxurious houses - these are properties for adult children to live in.

In other words, this female hunter has her own palace.

The building's interior and exterior are in Victorian style, with blue tiles and white walls, which are both elegant and dignified, while also reflecting the liberal style prevalent in the Imperial Navy.

If you drive in from the gate, you have to pass through a gate about five meters high guarded by a fully armed guard.

Then you have to walk through a 5-kilometer-long forest garden that is constantly patrolled by patrols, then pass through a higher fence gate, drive forward another meters, and bypass the magnificent Alexander Hood sculpture fountain before you reach the door of the official residence.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are dozens of official residences and estates like this one on the sky garden.

“Is this big?”

The huntress looked helpless and said to Horatio:

"The larger mansion opposite is the estate of my uncle, Viscount Samuel Hood. The largest mansion, which is twice the size of my house, is the residence of the most respected Admiral Bridges Rodney, who is the mentor of the two lords and captains of our Hood family."

Horatio blinked, not knowing how to comment, and could only complain in his heart:

[The rich are inhumane! I don’t understand the world of the navy nobles!]
"Then how do we get in? There are Hydra anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles in your yard..."

"I've sent the signal, and the guard captain will give us the green light to land directly on the landing platform outside my house."

"Then how will you explain my arrival to others? If I go in as a member of the Legal Department, I will be treated as a guest and there will always be servants beside me."

"That's right, so you can only sneak in."

The huntress frowned in annoyance.

"That's fine."

Horatio offered a suggestion: "Isn't it almost evening? I'll sneak in at dusk."

"You can!"

The huntress said displeasedly, "If the anti-theft system in the house detects you, a whole company of guards will come over. If you are caught, I will be in trouble!"

"Why don't you just clear the alarm inside?"

"..."

The huntress's eyes turned around and it seemed that this was not impossible?
But there is definitely difficulty.

Her pretty eyebrows knitted slightly.

[First, I have to get rid of the maid and the housekeeper. My personal maid Lina is fine, because she grew up with me and is considered one of my own. But the old housekeeper is my father's old subordinate. If he sees me turning off the anti-theft system, he will definitely come forward to ask why. It is obvious that he wants to bring someone in. I can't lie even if I want to. If he reports it to my father, then everything will be exposed.]
and……

Her green eyes looked at the dirty Horatio.

[This guy's footsteps are covered in the dirty, smelly mud of the lower nest. Oh, God, what should I do! Do I have to... get him a set of my father's clothes to change into? Oh my God, just kill me. If my father finds out that I brought a man back, how will I explain it? !]
Farida sighed, feeling tired and sleepy, and she pulled her head weakly.

[We're already home, but why do I feel more dangerous than being trapped in a cult's lair?]
Horatio looked at the huntress who was in a fierce psychological struggle, his brows raised and lowered.

[I just wanted to find a clue, but it seems like I'm having an affair with a noble lady.]
Horatio's face showed the same expression as the Huntress had before, and he shrugged helplessly.

"You hide behind." "Are you not pretending to be a member of the legal department anymore?"

"Pretend, but don't show up in front of so many people. In short, you follow my instructions and keep communicating."

"alright."

Horatio yawned. "May the Emperor bless me with good luck, so that I don't escape from the devil's cave with great difficulty, only to be killed for 'trespassing'."

"You won't if you listen to me."

The shuttle slowly descended onto the landing platform outside Farida's personal residence.

On the ground, a red guard affiliated with the Navy Department held the guide stick to indicate the landing direction. At least one squad of red guards held guns on their shoulders, responsible for both ceremonial guards and vigilance.

Through the glass, they saw the eldest lady in the driver's seat. There was no one in the passenger seat. Horatio had hidden in the cabin in advance.

"Miss." The old butler stood outside the cabin and bowed. Next to him was Farida's graceful personal maid, who also bowed respectfully.

"Miss, why did you come back in such a cheap shuttle?" The old butler lightly adjusted his glasses on his deep eye sockets, looked at the cabin for a long time, and asked respectfully.

"I've borrowed a plainclothes vehicle from the Ministry of Justice. Leave it here and don't move it. I'll be driving it away later, so there's no need to clean it up. When will my father be back?"

"The master went to a meeting at the Admiralty. He left not long ago and should be back tomorrow. Miss, are you looking for the master?"

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Farida adjusted her collar, and her personal maid understood and asked the maid to prepare warm water for the bath. The other maids came forward to give the dirty lady a preliminary cleansing.

"Miss, are you participating in a battle?" The old butler noticed something.

"Sorry, this is a confidential matter of the Ministry of Justice. I can't comment." The Huntress opened her arms indifferently and asked the maids to start wiping the mud, dust and blood stains off the armor.

"Sorry! I'm sorry, miss. I'll leave first." The old butler bowed quickly and left the landing platform with the servants.

Horatio, who was hiding in the cabin, heard it all clearly. He leaned against the side of the cabin, glanced at the gradually dimming sunset from the angle, and waited quietly for Farida's arrangements.

Then the female hunter took off her tactical waistband and handed it to the maid, and the two looked at each other. The maid bowed, took the female hunter's waistband and went to the young lady's boudoir first.

This is Farida's little secret. Whenever there is any private work to be done, she will take off her belt and hand it to her, and she will go ahead and wait.
-
Tap, tap, the sound of brisk and agile footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

The huntress opened the door of her room and sat on the velvet armchair that the maid had placed behind the door.

"Miss." The personal maid bowed and greeted her, holding the most effective and expensive healing potion in her hand.

"Lina, I need your help. This must not be told to anyone." She sat on the chair and asked the maid to remove the power boots on her legs, revealing the wound.

The bruises were so large that the maid gasped and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

But she was well-trained and quickly recovered to normal. She immediately performed rapid trauma repair treatment on her young lady, and replied calmly: "As you wish, young lady, what do you need me to do?"

[Strange, the bruise on the lady's leg seems to have been bandaged by someone. It's impossible for the lady to have this. Who could it be?] The maid frowned and became suspicious.

The huntress leaned over, leaned close to Lina's ear, and whispered something softly.

Lina took a deeper breath more quickly than before, and then looked with her big round eyes full of shock at her own lady, who was sitting upright on the chair with a beautiful face.

"Miss, you should think twice!" She uttered a little exclamation.

"I guarantee this with the reputation of the Hood family. I must do it." The huntress' eyes were firm.

Lina moistened her lips, then knelt on one knee and straightened her chest. While treating the wound on the girl's slender legs, she nodded solemnly and said seriously:
"I understand Miss. I will definitely handle this matter properly for you."
