Chapter 11: Langton Castle

Upper Lake Ney stands Langton Castle, the seat of the Langton family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Unlike the world-famous ten most beautiful castles in Europe, Langton Castle is thick and atmospheric in the midst of a forest. The castle is surrounded by water from Lake Neuilly, forming the outermost line of defense of the castle.

Seeing this huge and staggering castle from afar, Xiao Ruo was a little confused. It is said that the building is solidified music, this castle was built as early as the ninth century, from the original earthen hill siege castle, evolved to a stone castle, and after several wars, it can be said that the history of Langton Castle is a history of the evolution of European castles.

The current Langton Castle was redesigned on the site in the 15th century by more than a dozen famous European designers, combining Romanesque rigor and Gothic sophistication, including the unique Norman style of England. Like a heavy and low but elegant sonata, as the car approaches, there is a quaint and desolate atmosphere.

In just a moment, Xiao Ruo liked it.

It was not a week before Xiao Ruo promised Alice, she was urged by Alice to come to Langton Castle, in Alice's words, as the future owner, how could she not know where her home was, Xiao Ruo was entangled and had no choice, and explained to her subordinates, so she took Locke and Lisa and followed Alice over.

Alice, who was sitting next to Xiao Ruo, saw Xiao Ruo retract her eyes looking out of the window, smiled slightly and asked, "How is it, dear?" Do you like it?"

Xiao Ruo nodded, art is the common pursuit of human beings, and she is also an architectural designer, so she is naturally happy to see such a building that can be regarded as a textbook.

Seeing that Xiao Ruo was a little nervous, Alice comforted her: "Okay, dear, you are my chosen heir and the future master of the castle, and the people in the castle will only respect you and will not embarrass you."

Alice's words did not ease Xiao Ruo's tension in the slightest, it is one thing to decide, and it is another thing to react when it comes to the end. There must be a lot of people in the castle, but she doesn't have the experience to deal with so many people.

β€œrachel!” Seeing that Xiao Ruo was even more nervous, Alice was very helpless. Forget it, let her adjust it herself, it's also a kind of exercise.

The car drove into the gate, and without stopping, it followed the Garden Route towards the castle residence. Xiao Ruo felt that her mood had strangely calmed down, which made her herself a little incredible.

After entering the door, the car drove for nearly half an hour and stopped in the small square in front of the main house.

The doors opened, and Alice got out of the car first. Xiao Ruoxin jumped suddenly, and was a little overwhelmed, when he saw Alice's hand stretched out from the car door, Xiao Ruo took a deep breath, grabbed Alice's outstretched hand, got out of the car door, and stood up straight.

After coming out, Xiao Ruo squinted, feeling that the sun was a little dazzling, and before he could reach out to block it, he felt a shadow on his head blocking the sun. At some point, one of the attendants opened an umbrella and covered her.

Xiao Ruo calmed down, raised his head slightly, looked at the waiter next to him, nodded to him, and showed a reserved smile.

Alice, who had been watching Xiao Ruo from the sidelines, nodded and smiled with satisfaction as she watched her performance.

Turning his face back, the scene in front of him made Xiao Ruo's smile a little stiff, and he saw hundreds of maids and waiters lined up in two columns in front of the main mansion, bowing to the two and saluting: "Welcome home to the head of the family and Xiu!"

Alice nodded to Xiao Ruo, and the two of them stepped on the road leading to the doorway together.

Charlie's butler, who got out of the car first, led the way in front, Xiao Ruo's nervousness disappeared at some point, and a "go home" also made her inexplicably feel a little sense of belonging here.

In the eyes of the next people, their beautiful and unusually beautiful show was smiling, exuding a kind of nobility that was impossible to look at, and together with a kind of floating temperament on her body, they unconsciously looked up.

I don't know when I walked through the "path" composed of people, but when Xiao Ruo felt it, it was already Alice who held her hand and said in a happy voice in her ear: "Rachel, my dear, your performance really surprises me!" You are the best!"

Xiao Ruo looked around and saw that there were only Alice and Charlie, so she twitched the corners of her mouth, and the facial muscles that had been smiling finally relaxed, and she looked at Alice with a wry smile: "Alice, your welcome scene is too big!" I just can't get used to it. ”

Alice covered her mouth and smiled: "Rachel, today is just the first time, slowly you will get used to it." But you're doing perfectly, you're a natural nobleman, my dear. ”

Hell a natural aristocracy! Xiao Ruo's mood relaxed, and a rare foul word came out in his heart. She has read a lot of books on aristocratic etiquette, and for today, she also went to the inheritance hall, found a lot of information, and studied for a long time. It looks like she's at ease, and God knows she's going to stiffen all over.

"Okay, rachel, you still have a baby in your belly, you should be a little tired after sitting in the car for so long today, I'll let you take you to your room." Looking at the trace of tiredness on Xiao Ruo's face, Alice said with concern.

Xiao Ruo nodded, and did not refuse.

Charlie, the butler at the door, clapped his hands, and servants came in in an endless stream, and at the forefront were Locke and Lisa.

Seeing the servants of his own manor, Xiao Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Charlie singled out the four maids and said to Xiao Ruo: "Xiu, the four of them will be in charge of your daily life in the future." A few of you, tell Xiu a little bit about yourself. ”

Charlie finished speaking and motioned for them to begin.

A girl with long brown curly hair, eyes of the same color, and a round face on the far left took a step forward, bowed to Alice and Xiao Ruo, and said, "Hello little master, I'm joyce, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Then there's the tall Jill with short dark blonde hair and light blue eyes. There is also a petite, straight-haired, gray-eyed June, and a blonde Joanna, who is a little older than the other three, and is clearly the head of the four.

Xiao Ruo nodded to the four of them, and said with a slight smile: "I'm sorry for you."

Joanna, the representative of the four, said: "It is our honor to serve the show."

Xiao Ruo smiled back, turned to Charlie, and asked, "Mr. Charlie, I want Lisa to come with me, is that okay?"

"Of course, Mr. Locke can stay here, and I'll arrange it for them, so you can know where to find him by noon." Charlie replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Charlie. Alice, see you at lunch. Xiao Ruo waved at the smiling Alice and left with a few people.

Not long after Xiao Ruo left, Alice sat on the sofa by the fireplace a little tiredly, and smiled at Charlie: "My vision is good, right?" Rachel would be the best heir. ”

Charlie's eyes were full of worry when he looked at Alice, but his tone was still extremely respectful: "Madam, your vision is incomparable, and the rachel show is indeed excellent." But she's inexperienced, and she's pregnant, do you really think Rachel Show can handle those guys?"

"I believe rachel, Charlie. I believe more than I believe myself. I will teach her with my heart, and I will do my best to nurture her until then. Alice's tone was firm.

"Why? And your body ......" Charlie's voice was a little muffled.

"I have my reasons. Moreover, I know my own body, which is why I brought Rachel to the castle, and I want her to adapt to it as quickly as possible. Charlie, I know you're worried, but you have to trust rachel, and more importantly, you have to trust me. ”

"Yes, ma'am." The corners of Charlie's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't say any more.

"Also, help me send out the invitation, next weekend, I'm going to officially introduce Rachel to everyone, the preparation for the banquet will start now, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry for you." Alice commanded.

"It's okay, ma'am, I'll do it."
