Chapter 229 General Bude
Who was that person just now?
Feeling the man's imposing aura, Will couldn't help but ask.
“That’s General Bud,” Porus explained.
"What?" Will exclaimed in surprise.
Although he spent most of his life by the sea, he knew very little about the capital city.
But he had heard of this name before.
Imperial General, Bud.
The head of the Imperial Army, considered to possess strength on par with Esdeath, and also the supreme commander of the Imperial Guard.
Unlike Esdeath's role, his duty was not to suppress foreign enemies, but to protect the capital and safeguard the royal family. It was precisely because of this that, although his achievements were not as terrible as Esdeath's, he still earned the title of "Shield of the Empire".
"That person went to the palace probably because of the bombing that happened in the capital a few days ago," Dr. Fashion said. "With something like that happening in the capital, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. But then again, his appearance doesn't suit my taste..."
Bombing?
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat.
According to Polus, this General Bude controls the security of the capital.
Will he cause me trouble?
As the saying goes, whoever does the work is responsible for it.
Although Lu Ye didn't personally carry out the explosion, no one knew that he had planned it.
But he holds the title of Captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison!
If they are held accountable, it's no laughing matter.
Although Esdeath and Bud are both generals, their powers are not the same.
The former had no interest in power; all he cared about was the desire to fight.
As for the latter, although his attitude towards power is unknown, as the "Shield of the Empire," Bud holds most of the real power in the military. In other words, if he wanted to, Lu Ye would not only be stripped of his official position, but in more serious cases, he could even lose his head.
Although Lu Ye is a "Teigu user", he is not irreplaceable.
You should know that the largest factor in the capital city is its population.
As long as you're willing to search, you're not afraid of not finding a new Teigu user.
"Well, let's go have the party first."
Lu Ye urged him slightly, wanting to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
"That's true, it's almost noon, time for lunch," Lan said with a smile.
No one else objected, and they all quickened their pace.
It was almost lunchtime, and everyone was getting hungry.
While the others sped up, Esdeath, who was walking ahead, slowed down.
Then they arrived at Lu Ye's side, who was at the end of the group.
Lu Ye was greatly alarmed.
It wasn't surprise, it was terror.
It's like your homeroom teacher, who usually ignores you, suddenly walking towards you...
It can't be anything good!
Not knowing what this woman wanted to do, Lu Ye took a step to the side, trying to create some distance.
Esdeath, noticing Lu Ye's subtle actions, seemed to have her eyes covered with a layer of ice.
She followed him closely.
Then, he put his hand on Lu Ye's shoulder.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was looking this way, she leaned close to Lu Ye's ear.
It was like a murmured sigh, like the subtle chill of the Arctic wind.
"What, are you scared?"
"Scared? Captain, you've misunderstood. You're so good-looking, why would I be scared?"
Lu Ye immediately offered a compliment.
He didn't know if this move would work on Esdeath.
But since it's a woman, it will probably have some effect...
"Yeah……"
Esdeath scrutinized Lu Ye's profile, from his temples to his jawline.
As she looked at him, her eyes softened.
"Don't worry, you're mine now. My men will never let anyone else teach you a lesson, not even the emperor."
After saying that, she patted Lu Ye on the shoulder and strode forward.
The white military boots tapped on the ground with a reassuring rhythm.
Lu Ye stood there, somewhat at a loss.
He then realized that Esdeath's "fear" was referring to the bombing a few days earlier.
And... she's even planning to protect herself?
This touched Lu Ye's heart.
This woman... doesn't seem so heartless after all.
……
Back in the meeting room, everyone began preparing lunch.
It was a welcome party for the new team, and the capital city wasn't very stable at the moment due to the existence of night raids.
So Esdeath thought about it and decided that it would be better to have a meal on the spot.
However, there were only three people cooking in the kitchen; the others were resting in the living room.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since there aren't many people who can cook; there are only these three.
Lu Ye is one of them, responsible for retrieving and processing ingredients in the kitchen.
These ingredients were all transported directly from the palace, so their quality is guaranteed.
He knows his own limitations; the dishes he makes are at least harmless and non-toxic, so don't expect them to taste good.
He felt he should learn from his aunt in this regard.
After all, Violet has become quite picky about food ever since she arrived in the main world.
When they first moved to their new home, Lu Ye wanted to be a good stay-at-home husband and found various recipes online to cook for her. However, after Violet tasted a few bites, she resolutely picked up her phone and tried to order takeout.
This saddened Lu Ye for several minutes. She thought to herself, "You ate so happily even when you only had some simple seasonings on the deserted island..."
At that time, Lu Ye was full of complaints, like a housewife who was being disliked by her husband.
Until he picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food he had made... then he helped order takeout.
The other person is Will, who is acting as the sous chef and is processing salted fish and other seafood products brought from his hometown.
“Listen up, Will, add the spinach last, or it will overcook easily.” Polus solemnly held up one finger.
He is the head chef.
Lu Ye never expected that this muscular man with a body full of muscles and scars would actually be able to cook.
But this guy's cooking skills were surprisingly good.
The way he skillfully wielded the kitchen knife showed that he was a man who had honed his skills at the stove for a long time.
Lu Ye's eyes lit up after just one sip of the freshly made soup.
Meanwhile, Will was very frustrated.
He had originally intended to show off his skills.
But his cooking skills were not as good as Borus', and he was unwilling to be a handyman like Lu Ye.
I'm stuck here, unable to go up or down, it's really embarrassing.
Esdeath observed the situation in the kitchen with great interest.
Soon the food was ready, and the team gathered around the table to eat.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was fairly harmonious.
Esdeath took the opportunity to learn about the team members' situation.
Of course, this refers to personal life.
Lu Ye was very cautious about this. For some reason, he always felt that those questions were somewhat directed at him.
Esdeath was like she was checking his census, trying to dig out his roots.
Therefore, his answers were all very conservative.
I live in the countryside, and my job involves approving documents and patrolling. After work, I rest, drink a glass of hot milk before bed, and go to bed promptly at 10 o'clock, never leaving fatigue for the next day.
Just as lunch was halfway through, there was a sudden knock on the front door.
"I'll go."
Lan got up from the chair and opened the door.
And what came into everyone's view was none other than General Bude, the same person from before.
