But unfortunately, Vivien's body has never recovered after giving birth to Lily.

This kind of weakness caused by the damage to the vitality of the temple, even the temple was helpless, and managed to maintain it for a few years, and finally died when Lily was five years old.

Her departure was devastating to Brad and Jane, and the entire Earl's Court was immersed in an atmosphere of grief, and since then, Brad has never married a third lady.

Lily, who was only five years old at the time, was raised by Jane's aunt as her own, and at the age of 26 she married the eldest son of the Lawrence family in the imperial capital.

The eldest son of the Lawrence family, who was a scholar himself, now worked in the Imperial Foreign Office and was a noble diplomat.

It was at that opportunity that Matthew, who escorted his sister all the way, met Catherine by chance, and successfully hugged the beauty a few years later.

The Duke's eldest son, Francis, was two years older than Matthew, tall and burly, and looked more like Earl Brad when he was younger.

Therefore, he was deeply favored by Brad, and he always took him with him to teach, and when he came of age at the age of 18, he asked His Majesty the Emperor to make him the first heir, and was given the title of Grand Knight, and later, through Francis's own efforts, he was now promoted to baron.

Phil did not see his grandfather again all afternoon, and after lunch, he had a conversation with Jane, and he wandered around the vast Earl's Court estate.

It's too big, that's Phil's intuitive feeling.

If viewed from the sky, the entire Earldom is rectangular in shape, with an area of about 4 square kilometers.

He felt that it would be difficult to walk around on his own legs.

In addition to the small two-storey building on the periphery, which belonged to the servants and soldiers, the main building consisted of a medium-sized five-storey castle where the master lived, a schoolyard on the side of the manor, stables, a storehouse, and a garden surrounding the castle.

The most exaggerated thing is that, in addition to the garden, there is a moat more than twenty meters wide on the perimeter of the castle.

Phil had never traveled to Europe in his previous life, and this was the first time in his life that he had seen an authentic castle with centuries of history.

All the buildings are typical of the Wardsmann Empire, and Phil doesn't know much about architecture, which can be categorized as which architectural genre on the planet.

Corinthian in ancient Rome, Gothic in the Middle Ages, or Baroque and Rococo in the late Renaissance.

It is neither as tall and mysterious as Hogwarts Castle in Phil's impression, nor as small and delicate as Highclere Castle in Downton Abbey.

But it looks atmospheric and beautiful without losing delicacy, with a variety of shapes and great artistic value.

All the buildings are made of blue-gray stone bricks, coated with a layer of yellowish-white powder, and the walls alone are more than two meters thick.

Phil was sure that at a critical moment, it must be a veritable military fortress.

Compared to it, Snape Manor in Lok Ma Town is more like a small cottage for vacation.

In order not to show timidity, Phil plucked a stalk of grass, held it in his mouth, and jumped under his feet, using the child's immaturity as a disguise.

But in fact, with the exception of Blair who followed him and a male servant from the Earl's Court, the other male and female servants who passed by were still doing their own thing in an orderly manner after only saluting him to the standard.

"Young Master Philip Sun, please stay. Butler Barton rushed over from behind and called out to Phil.

"You can call me Phil, Grandpa Barton. Phil was still pretending to be well-behaved as always.

"For your time, the tailor shop on York Street wants to cut two dresses for you for this month's paladin celebration. Now the people have arrived, and they are waiting in the living room. ”

"Paladin Celebration?" Phil was curious about this already somewhat mythical word, thinking that his level 70 big rode the sun well and left an indestructible prestige.

"Yes, just later this month, 15 days later. This is the only Templar in 20 years in Gaukan who has been able to advance to the title of Paladin.

A public enshrinement ceremony is planned, followed by a grand celebration.

Your grandfather, Earl Brad, was also invited to take the whole family to the ceremony. ”

When Barton spoke, he was always used to straighten his waist, and it looked like he should have been a soldier when he was younger.

"Got it, thank you Grandpa Barton. ”

Phil was very interested in this celebration, and even couldn't wait to see the style of the paladins in this world, but he didn't know what kind of suit he was wearing.

It's a feeling, Phil thought.

It's not the first time in this day and age that Phil has gone through the tedious process of tailoring, and Phil is a little used to it.

But it seems that the tailors of Gokan City prefer to keep improving.

Perhaps in order to set off the aristocratic style, a middle-aged male tailor with two assistants, a man and a woman, spent half an afternoon announcing the completion of the measurement, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied and regretful for the little fat man who shook frequently at the end.

It was easy to wait until Butler Barton sent the three out of the door, and Phil, who had been standing all along, lay on the sofa like a noodle, and buried himself in the soft cushion.

He swore that he would never get up until it was time to eat.

But the desire is plump, and the reality is skinny.

As Butler's voice rang in his ears again, Phil, who was already about to fall asleep, suddenly bounced up from the sofa, and the lightning speed of the jingle bell made his fat figure look a little funny.

Barton had seen the tired child lying there, worried that he had caught a cold, so he thought of whispering to him to get up and go back to his room to rest.

As a result, he was startled by this ball-like little fat man, and looking at his hazy eyes and the sparkling saliva at the corner of his mouth, Barton laughed unprecedentedly.

I thought that the housekeepers in this world were very serious, such as Campbell's housekeeper in Lok Horse Town and Patton's housekeeper in High Can's City.

But in reality, Barton Sr. loved to laugh and love children, especially his naughty and cute little great-granddaughter.

"Go to your room and rest for a while, and get ready for the family feast in the evening. Barton said kindly to Fill.

"Okay, thank you, please be sure to call me in advance when you arrive. Phil yawned again, a little embarrassed to Barton.

"As you wish, my young master. Barton's voice also became a little mischievous.

Phil called out to Blair and told the stupid girl, who was also sleepy and couldn't open her eyes, to take her back to her room, but he didn't know which floor and room he was living in.

Halfway through, Phil suddenly remembered something and turned back to Old Patton.

"Grandpa Barton, the first time I saw you, I felt familiar. ”

"Oh?" Barton looked at the little fat man with a smirk.

"I heard your last name is Collins?" Phil looked at Patton's face with a wistful look on his face, and he finally remembered why he had been stunned at Barton when he first entered the door, because that kind smile was too much like some little girl he knew.

"You're not wrong at all. As he spoke, Barton suddenly looked down at Phil like a child, blinking his right eye at Phil with a slightly sly expression.

"Got it, Grandpa Barton, I'm going to rest. Phil looked satisfied, turned again, and waved to Barton as he reached the staircase.

Barton looked at the little fat man who was climbing the stairs with his short legs, and laughed meaningfully, what a smart child.

That's right, Old Barton is the great-grandfather of Jasmine Collins Jr. in Fallen Horse Town, no wonder Matthew was able to settle down and live in such a rich land of fish and rice as Fallen Horse Town, and I think it was also recommended by Patton.

I think Catherine also knows some things, but since little Jasmine never says it, it's good as always, it's good to know something.

After the sky was completely dark, a sumptuous dinner officially began in the banquet hall of Earl Snape's Court.

On the snow-white silk tablecloth, the golden fried blue ribbon fish, the oily honey pork crispy bone steak, the white and fragrant cream mushroom soup, the exquisite and first-class fried shortbread, and even the huge crab from the distant sea, all kinds of exquisite delicacies are placed on the long table under the shuttle of the servants.

For the first time, Phil meets his uncle, Francis, and his family, including his aunt Stephanie and his cousin, Bruce, who is two years his senior.

Uncle Francis was very enthusiastic about him and Catherine, and when they met, they affectionately raised him with his arms and turned him in several circles.
