"Your Majesty the Marquis, look, they are coming."
"Domes, let everyone be prepared. Remember, the other party is not only a guest I invited, but also has an unusual identity. It is best not to make any mistakes."
………
There is no endless road in the world. Although the manor is large, the road always ends. In the end, everyone carried the uneasiness and arrived at the center of the manor...the luxurious building.
It was different from the expected big court, because the gatekeepers had gone in in advance to report. As soon as they arrived, a group of people were waiting in front of the building. The ground was covered with a red carpet that only appeared in person when nobles of the prince level were present. On both sides of the road were
There were multiple guards erected respectively. There was no doubt that when the guests arrived, although they were in a hurry, the owner of the manor, who knew everyone's identity, quickly prepared a welcome ceremony. It must be said that the Marquis was very attentive.
Soon, a group of people walked to the opposite side of the carpet and looked around. In addition to the guards on both sides, there were also two men standing at the door, a middle-aged man and an old man. The old man looked really young.
His hair is gray, and the years have left deep marks on his face. He is estimated to be at least in his 60s. He is wearing a neat black dress. In addition, the identity of the old man can be further seen from the fact that he is clearly standing behind the middle-aged man. He should be a
Butler, an old butler.
As for the other middle-aged man, his attire is much more gorgeous. In addition to wearing a luxurious red dress, the shiny leather boots and the aristocratic sword with patterns carved on his waist all confirm the man's identity.
The identity of the middle-aged man is self-evident. However, when everyone saw the blond-haired and aristocratic Marquis for the first time, some sharp-eyed people discovered that the middle-aged man saw a group of executors.
His originally calm face flashed with a sudden flash of
Surprised! No, not only the Marquis himself, but also the old butler behind him also showed a similar expression. Others may know the source of their surprise, but Marquis Mel and the old butler Dom had seen a certain scene not long ago.
Si himself knew it well, because...
Because neither of them expected that the appearance and even the clothes of the oriental guests in front of them... were exactly the same as the wax figures in the wax figure room on the third floor!!!
It’s unbelievable. How can this not surprise the two people who have experienced the strange changes in the wax museum? Originally, they didn’t understand the meaning of the extra wax statue of an oriental stranger in the wax museum besides the wax statues of everyone in the manor, until
When they saw the group of Orientals in front of them, the Marquis and the housekeeper suddenly discovered that the appearance of these Oriental guests was exactly the same as the Oriental wax statues on the third floor, so that even the number of them was exactly the same!
Why? Why is this happening? What is going on?
Is it a coincidence? It's impossible. If it's really a coincidence, it's too coincidental. Could such a thing happen in the world?
At the same time, despite the fleeting look on Marquis Mel's face, the strange look on Marquis Mel's face was still noticed by some of the executioners, especially He Fei. When he discovered the fleeting astonishment on the Marquis and the old butler's expressions, he faintly
Realizing that...the Marquis must know many things that the executors currently don't know, he immediately made a decision in his mind:
(It seems that in order to solve this incident, in addition to Lisa, who is suspected of being the Marquis' daughter, the Marquis himself is also a key figure who can obtain important clues.)
Of course, he was shocked and puzzled. Seeing the guest arriving and knowing the identity of the guest, Marquis Meyer quickly recovered from the shock and hurriedly walked up to Ye Wei with a smile.
, first looked at everyone up and down, and then spoke respectfully.
He respectfully introduced himself to the beautiful oriental woman in front of him: "Your Majesty, Marquis Crammeier of the British Empire, is also the owner of Halton Manor. May I ask, you...you are here from thousands of miles away.
Her Royal Highness Princess Zhu Wei of the Ming Dynasty here?"
As a veteran who understands history and has experienced great storms, although she does not know much about the etiquette of ancient European aristocrats, Ye Wei, who has seen the big world, is still calm and shows the same smile to the middle-aged man, and then uses the same polite tone.
He nodded and replied: "Hello, Your Excellency, Marquis, I am Zhu Wei."
After saying this, he took the lead in bowing to the Marquis of Chao Meier and performed a blessing ceremony for the women of the ancient country Z.
Seeing the other party nodding in acknowledgement, and seeing the other party salute to him, how could Marquis Meyer dare to neglect him? As soon as Ye Wei finished the salute, he hurriedly bent down and gave Ye Wei a standard European aristocratic salute. In addition, in order to show himself as a noble gentleman
He even took Ye Wei's hand and kissed her.
After saluting each other, as a nobleman, Marquis Meyer certainly knew how to say polite words. He ignored everyone around him and said to Ye Wei with a smile on his face: "Haha, although I have never been to the Ming Dynasty, I am lucky enough to meet you today.
Your Royal Highness is a beautiful princess of the Ming Dynasty. This is not only an honor for me, Mel, but also an honor for my entire Kram family."
The polite words were polite. In fact, Ye Wei had already known from the curse that the reason why everyone was here was entirely invited by the Marquis. However, Ye Wei did not continue to be polite like the other party, but deliberately pretended to be blank and asked.
: "My guards and I went to your country because we have something to do. I wonder why Marquis Meyer specially invited me to come here? Or is it... that the matter is more complicated?"
Marquis Mel wanted to continue chatting, but he didn't expect that the oriental princess in front of him would go straight to the topic. At the same time, he also pointed out the key to the problem with puns. In the past, he would definitely have dealt with it in various ways. However, the other party
As soon as these words came out, for some reason, the Marquis' originally smiling face gradually became complicated. It seemed that there were some things that were difficult to say.
(It seems that the guess is correct. The Marquis must know something. Perhaps this is the main reason why he invited us to be our guests.)
After a verbal test and some observation, Ye Wei's guess was correct. What happened was very simple. Let's not talk about what the executioners who were given identities by the curse came to the UK to do. However, a group of Orientals came to the UK and one of them was a distinguished person.
How could the news about the princess not be known to others? Since the territory is close to the coast, Marquis Mel was the first to learn about it.
According to the aristocratic tradition, the British aristocrat who received this news originally wanted to invite the princess to the manor to gain some face for himself when he learned the news. Unfortunately, a series of strange things that happened in the manor recently made Mei...
The Marquis of Er was so worried that he initially planned to give up the invitation. Things should have ended like this, but...
Just when Marquis Mel gave up the idea of inviting him, the words of the old butler Domus made Marquis Mel really want to meet the oriental princess and her entourage:
"Your Excellency, according to the news, there are nine Easterners in total, including the princess, seven men and two women."
Yes, the old butler's seemingly ordinary words were like a thunder exploding in Marquis Meyer's mind! At the same time, it reminded him of one thing, and that was...
In the wax figure room on the third floor of the manor, in addition to the inexplicable extra wax figures of him, his family, and all the manor guards and servants in the past few days, there were also a few more wax figures of unfamiliar oriental people that he did not recognize, and the number of these wax figures happened to be
9 seats, seven men and two women.
This is where the weirdness comes in. It is reported that this group of Orientals who came to the UK, both in terms of number and gender...are surprisingly consistent with the wax figures on the third floor!
Finally, as his heart became more and more uneasy, Marquis Meyer changed his mind. Prompted by doubts, he really wanted to see the group of Easterners, so he took advantage of the fact that his territory was closest to the coastal dock. He had been feeling uneasy recently.
The Marquis de Maire sent an invitation letter to the group of Easterners, hoping that they would come to his place as a guest.
What made him happy was that the invitation was successful. The Ming princess not only accepted the invitation, she even arrived at the manor the day after accepting the invitation. However, after meeting and seeing the appearance of these Orientals clearly, Mel
The Marquis's already troubled heart became more and more nervous. It was unbelievable, really unbelievable. He didn't expect that when he saw the real person, no matter who he was, he was exactly the same as the 9 wax figures!
Surprised, an indescribable feeling of fear swept through his body, making Marquis Meyer even more frightened. Inexplicably, his mind recalled his father's voice that he had vaguely heard when he was first in the wax figure room and the two words his father said.
words:
Run away!
Originally trying to keep his composure, he wanted to hold a welcome banquet according to aristocratic etiquette. Unexpectedly, the beautiful princess in front of him actually said a profound word on the spot as if she could see through his mind. Listening to the other party's tone, it was possible that the other party already knew about the recent incident.
Did something strange happen at the manor? No, it was impossible. Not to mention that the other party had never known him before, and they were a group of strangers who had just arrived in England. How could they possibly know about this?
That's true, but listening to the pun-tinged tone of the other party's words just now, they all said that the huge Eastern Empire has always been mysterious. Could it be that the princess and her followers really have some mysterious ability?
Back to the subject, as soon as Ye Wei spoke, Marquis Mel became unnatural. Just when Mel was worried about his own identity and fell into hesitation and entanglement, Domes, the old butler behind him, had no worries about his master at all. Out of a loyal man,
The butler's duty was out of consideration for the safety of the master's family. After passing the Marquis, the old butler first walked straight to Ye Wei and bowed to her, and then said to everyone present without any scruples:
"Your Highness the Princess, the villain Domus is the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion. Recently, some incredible things have happened in our manor. We can't handle this matter, and we can't even figure it out, so... so Master
