Chapter 32: Lady Lamia
In January of the New Year, that is, January of the Imperial Calendar, Vared and his group arrived at the Wordenhof Castle.
Unlike the castle where Vared lived the longest time, Dekenhof. Vared could see that the importance of this castle's pursuit of living comfort exceeds that of its defense.
This is a castle located on a plain with no natural river defense around it. It is a castle that is completely without a good location. It is lined with arrow towers in Dekenhof or other castles and has thick walls. The castle only has a foundation and a small part of it adopts a stone structure. The upper part is a brick and tile structure. A Gothic spire structure is built, with large windows opened, and even several crystal ceilings. Therefore, the lighting is very good. It is naturally more comfortable to live.
The exterior walls of this castle are also very well maintained, looking like new. They do not look old or old because of the traces of time. It seems that its owner must often spend money and manpower to repair and clean.
The castle is surrounded by grass, gardens and orchards. An artificial river flows slowly, making the whole castle look even more beautiful. Vared casually glanced at it, and goldfish were planted in the river. The garden also has rare garlands that are always blooming in the festivals. The lawn is also neatly trimmed. Several marble sculptures, fountains and neatly trimmed shrubs dotted it.
“It’s really…”
Vared frowned. He had just lived in the Blood Dragon Knights Castle for a month. He had been infected with the hard and simple style of the knights and subconsciously wanted to preach. However, he remembered that Alice was still by his side. In order to prevent the tender flesh on his waist from being ravaged and to save face for his fiancée, he immediately changed his words: "It's really good. This place is much better than the Dekenhof Castle."
"If you like it, stay for a while." Louise, the eldest daughter of Count Lamiya, who came to greet them, said to Valed with a smile.
Similar to what Nevrata learned about Valed from the Record Crystal before. Valed also learned about the appearance and character of several other family members from the Record Crystal, so as not to make jokes when they meet in the future. So he had known that Alice had a twin sister. He just knew that he knew it, but he still felt it was amazing when he met.
"It's like... well, it's like the feeling when I first met Alice. This girl..." Valed thought to himself. At the same time, he smiled and nodded at Louise: "Thank you sister, then."
There was nothing wrong with saying this sentence. The other girls around him had no special expressions. Only after hearing this, Louise felt something was wrong in her heart. She was slightly stunned. She was stunned for a moment before she talked to Valed again.
"It's all a family, what's the point of being polite... Come in quickly. Mother has been waiting for you for a long time."
Of course, this "you" refers to only two people, Valed and Alice. The other two girls, Anne and Lilia, are a little embarrassed. If it is normal, it would be fine. But at this moment, Valed was the son-in-law and brought his fiancée back to his parents' home. So they should avoid it for the time being.
The same was true when I went to Natchedov and Templehoff two times before. Valed and one of the girls met with their parents' brother-in-law and father-in-law. The others met with their master the next day. That's about that.
But it was the first time that an elder sister came here to greet her. But then again, this so-called "big sister" is actually the same age as Alice, which means that she is actually a few months younger than Valed.
"Is this why she seemed happy when she heard me call her 'sister'? I miss a child." Vared smiled and looked at the girl with an admiring look.
The dress is no different from Alice. She has delicate facial features, fair skin, sapphire-like eyes, golden curly hair, white dresses, jewelry and jewelry. Even the perfume is the same... If they turn hand in hand and turn a few times, most people will definitely not be able to tell it.
In fact, before this, this naughty "sister" had deliberately pretended to change positions with Alice several times. Then she didn't say a word and wanted to make Valed look ugly.
"But the temperament is different, big sister." Valed smiled in his heart. He met Alice for one, two years. He went to talk about love under the moon and the moon... Of course, this is not the point. The point is Alice's experience. It is much more than her sister.
First of all, she was jealous with the other two girls and developed emotional intelligence greatly. At the same time, under the price adjustment of Mrs. Windsor, she had been in contact with government affairs for a while and accumulated a lot of experience. In addition, she also made a promise with Valed that "I will watch you" and this agreement. Her talent for conspiracy began to start, and she was shocked by analyzing the conspiracy of the Chaos Dwarf.
So Alice looks much more mature than her sister in terms of temperament. She even gives Valed the feeling of "she should be her sister". Although Louise's "big sister" is about a few minutes older than Alice in age, Valed feels that Louise is at least twenty years worse than her sister in terms of psychological age.
One is a young girl, and the other is a mature young woman. Although Valed is not a veteran of countless flowers, he can naturally tell the difference easily with such a big difference-
Of course, he was the only one who thought so.
The other girls also saw more or less about Louise's teasing behavior. Because it was not a bad joke, it was just a harmless joke. So there was no stopping it - but.
But I never expected that Valed would admit his mistakes as if nothing had happened. This is a strange story for those of them who have not found the right skills.
"It's so strange, I've completely recognized it." Anne, who was outspoken, couldn't help but be surprised and muttered in a low voice, making Valed's mood better.
"It seems that the kids get along well."
At this time, the surveillance crystal was hidden and embedded through the exterior wall of the castle. The Count Nephrata, who was staying in the living room, also saw this scene through the crystal ball.
Although it was just a trivial matter. However, it seemed that my son-in-law did not look down on her little daughter as I imagined. As soon as she thought of it, the countess felt at ease. The original points of Kaogvared's thoughts disappeared suddenly.
"Allen, come with me."
The countess was happy when he thought about this and prepared to go out to greet his son-in-law.
The man who she called Allen stood beside him, with meticulous hair combed, wearing monocles, white gloves, and straight black trousers, black trousers and leather shoes was a little surprised: "He is your junior, so I'd better have Louise greet him. Just sit here."
"That's it. But he is not only my junior, but also Earl Castein." The Countess reached out and asked the man to help him up. He walked out of the living room and saw Valed and her two daughters coming over together.
At that time, Vared and his group walked into the castle, and the hall was prepared. A whole velvet carpet with big red gold wire piping silver threads stretched straight from Vared and his group to the entrance of the staircase on the second floor.
Vared looked at the hall again. In the middle was a pool fountain. Dozens of magic lamps with large crystal pendants above their heads. On the wall were famous paintings collected by the Lamiya family, with gold frames embedded in gems. The ground was covered with whole white marble tiles, which were shining brightly, and the light could be seen. Then look at the large vases of enamel utensils on both sides of the door, which were inserted into peacock feathers. Several sets of furniture arranged in the hall were also precious wood and exquisitely carved. Next to it were decorated with lush and green flowers, with a large pot of precious flowers.
When he saw Valed and his group walk in, there was a "music" immediately. He saw a group of bands wearing straight tuxedoes and wigs next to him. Valed was very familiar with the music he played. It was the piano song "To Alice" he gave to Alice two years ago when he was in love with Alice, but the other party brought it over to him and made a slight improvement to play it for himself.
"Auntie is intent." Although he was a little shocked and was thinking about how much military spending he could sell all these things, Valed was still expressionless on the surface. He just smiled. This made Louise, who wanted to show off his wealth by showing off her wealth by "the country bun".
"Let's go, mother is still waiting." Miss Louise was disappointed, and she felt disappointed. She was a little worried about Valed. She thought about finding an opportunity to bring her brother-in-law's face. Just thinking about that, she heard Valed whisper to Anne next to her: "It's interesting. Abehracin welcomed the guests with an army, while Ramiya was in the band and the red carpet."
"Then which one do you like?" Annie also asked in a low voice.
When Valed heard her question, he laughed, but did not answer, just said: "As the host, the guests should naturally be grateful. How can you choose which one you like and which one you don't like?"
This was heard by the eldest lady of the Lamiya family. No matter how she heard it, it seemed that Valed was mocking their family for being frivolous and luxurious, which was not as good as the iron-blooded aura of the Abel Hracin family. She hated Valed even more... (To be continued...)
