Chapter 455 Genetic Children



Chapter 455 Genetic Children

When Howard walked out of the bathroom, there was a knock on the door, and Christina's voice came from outside the door:

"Good morning, Lord Howard. May I come in?"

Howard opened the door and Christina was standing outside, as expected, pushing a food cart.

Today, Christina changed into a different style of outfit. She changed out of the maid skirt she was wearing before and put on a black short skirt. She wore a white shirt and stockings inside, and a black and white headband.

She was carrying a cloth bag on her back. Judging from the outline, the bag should contain something like a violin, but Howard guessed that it was most likely not a violin, but the power sword and laser gun that she never left behind.

Christina was a little surprised to see that it was Howard who opened the door for her personally, because she was still holding the key to Howard's room in her hand.

I guess the process she envisioned was that Howard hadn't gotten up yet, so she came over to bring him breakfast and called him to get up, then helped him wash up, assisted him with breakfast, and cleaned the room, etc.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Christina lowered her head first:

"Excuse me, sir...can I come in?"

Howard stepped aside and Christina pushed the food cart into the room.

When the lid of the dining car was opened, the breakfast prepared for Howard was a few boiled eggs, pine nut bread, fried bacon, sliced ham, roasted broccoli and small fish, yogurt and nuts, a glass of juice and a cup of coffee.

This breakfast cannot be said to be particularly luxurious. After all, it is the first meal of the day. Ordinary imperial nobles would not eat lavishly in the morning. The truly luxurious meals are only in the evening and late at night.

However, this so-called "simplicity" is only for the imperial nobles. For ordinary people in the empire, and even for Howard who has not yet traveled through time, he does not have the conditions to eat this kind of breakfast every day.

Christina spread out a white tablecloth, placed the food on it, then invited Howard to sit down and helped him tie his napkin. After confirming that Howard had no further needs, she began to clean the room skillfully.

Christina folded the quilt very skillfully, straightened and stretched the pillow that was wrinkled by Howard's sleep, and then began to wipe the floor with clean water.

Howard ate while watching Christina busying around, and then naturally a question popped up in his mind:

Ms. Christina, you are the daughter of Lady Liavide, and she is the governor of this star region. With your status, you shouldn't be doing this kind of work, right?

Howard wanted to ask Christina this question while cutting the omelet, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that asking was too friendly, so he continued to cut the omelet. After he finished eating the whole omelet, he asked:

"Are you Lady Liavide's daughter?"

Christina, who was cleaning the house, froze. She hesitated for a long time before answering in a low voice:

"Yes... yes... Lady Lia Weide is my most respected mother..."

"She's the Moff, and you're the Moff's daughter. Why are you doing this kind of work?"

This question obviously made Christina even more embarrassed. Her hands unconsciously exerted force and clenched the towel in her hand, and water continued to drip onto the floor.

She didn't react until a drop of water fell on her shoe, so she quickly let go of her hand and bent down to clean up the water stain she had just made.

Howard: "There is no actual blood relationship between you and Lady Lia Weide?"

This question can be said to be quite rude. If Howard asked a few people he had met before in a similar environment, I guess except for May, everyone would directly throw the towel at Howard.

"I'm Mom's daughter..." Christina lowered her head. "But I'm Mom's least useful daughter... I can't be as good as my brothers and sisters. I'm already very happy that I can help Mom in this way..."

But when it comes to this, Christina's mood becomes even darker:

"But Miss Constance is right. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned to me this time."

Between comforting the little girl and continuing to ask, Howard chose to comfort her halfway and then continued to ask:

"Actually, you've behaved very well on the spaceship. Do you have many brothers and sisters?"

This way of asking questions is a bit like checking household registration. In the past, Howard hated this way of chatting. However, the family that Howard went to collect debts from before seemed to be somewhat similar to the current Helveticon family in terms of structure. Howard must first know whether this family will also give him trouble like that family did.

Christina nodded, confirming Howard's question, and then said, "But I don't know how many brothers and sisters I have."

Howard: "Where is your father?"

Christina shook her head: "I don't know... I've never met him."

Howard nodded, then asked one last question:

"Lady Liavide...is this how you remember her?"

Christina looked up, looking puzzled.

"I said yes. In your memory, Lady Liavide's body was like this now, undergoing a complete mechanical transformation?"

Christina nodded.

So Howard already had a preliminary judgment in his mind.

The woman named Lia Weide probably treated her own child as a tool.

Her deeply mechanically modified body should have lost the ability to give birth naturally. People like Christina, Roland, and many of her brothers and sisters mentioned by Christina should have been born through biotechnology. This also explains why Lia Weide seems to lack maternal affection for her children.

How cold-blooded a person must be to use her own genetic children as tools to do such a thing? With her status, there are many people willing to work for her. Judging from Christina's observation, her genetic children do not seem to have any special powers. Why would she use her own children?

But this raises three more questions:

Are there any children among these children that Lia Weide raised naturally? Who are the fathers of these children? What is their attitude towards Lia Weide?

Howard finished his breakfast with such questions, and Christina cleaned up the house almost at the same time.

Next, it’s time to meet those “seeds”.
