Chapter 15: The Iris (Part II)
Iris Manor, named after the purple German irises that were widely planted on the estate by the first owner of this estate; It was later sold to Henry the Birdcatcher by Hegel, the first owner of the estate, who soon gave it to Otto as a gift. Otto, who is not bad for money in his hands www.biquge.info after getting this manor, carries forward this characteristic of the manor regardless of it, so when the irises bloom in April and May every year, dozens of acres of irises bloom at the same time in the entire manor, and the white, purple, blue and purple inside and outside the manor are intertwined with each other until the sky, like coming to a pure purple world, so beautiful that it is not like being in the world.
Caroline and the others came in almost June, and the most beautiful time in the manor had passed, but their group was still intoxicated by the residual beauty of the Iris Manor, as if they had accidentally seen a fairyland in the sky, even if it was just a glimpse, it was endless.
As if stunned by the beauty of nature in front of him, Robert found that it was too absurd and conceited for everyone to know who he was holding his shield like this, so he smiled and put away his shield and honestly led the team towards the center of the manor. This is the power of nature, which can easily make people realize how small the existence of the individual is, even if mortals will eventually return to dust, and the only constant is the eternal firmament.
The people of the manor found out when Carolan and her group were on the horizon. They must have been prepared, so from a distance, Caroline saw a group of people walking towards her from inside the manor. Then, not far from the gate of the manor's living quarters, the two teams converged.
"Good day, good little Caroline." The leader of the team that came out of the manor to greet him was actually Michael Moelle, the fat man of Henry's head of intelligence; More than ten meters away, the chubby Michael greeted Carolan in his loud voice and made a hugging gesture with exaggerated body language.
"Good day, Uncle Michael." Seeing Michael on the other side clearly, Carolan quickly dismounted and walked towards Michael and met his movements and gave him a heavy hug. You must know that although Michael is usually a little funny and uninhibited, he is a real Saxon aristocrat, his family is not only the largest grain merchant in the East Frankish Kingdom, but also a distant relative of Henry the Bird Catcher, which can be described as a pivotal figure in the kingdom; Of course, he has a very good personal relationship with Herman, which is one of the reasons why he is here, after all, Carolan is also his nephew.
"Hahaha, I heard your father say that you have completely recovered, I still don't believe it, I thought he was dying to save face again! I didn't expect it to be true! But it's been a long time since you've come to my house to play, and Diana misses you so much! Come on, come on, don't stay in this hellish place, our uncle and nephew go in and have a good exchange, and let Sa'an and old Tim deal with the handover of the manor" Michael hugged Carolan fiercely, and then blocked Carolan's mouth with a cannon-like word, hooked Caroline's neck and took him into the manor, and then casually threw everything to old Tim and Saan, it seemed that the matter related to the handover of the entire manor was just a trivial matter. Well, old Tim was one of the stewards of the Klose family, and he was in charge of the previous communication with the Iris Manor; He also came to the manor early in the morning to deal with some preliminary matters and wait for Caroline's arrival. Hearing Michael's words, old Tim glanced at Caroline, who had no intention of objecting, and nodded to indicate that he knew, and then ignored Caroline, who was about to be dragged away by Michael.
Carolan knew that Michael must have no ill intentions in doing this, after all, at his level, there was no need to take out some small means. The only person he can afford to deal with is an opponent of his level, and it is clear that Carolan does not have that right now.
Although Michael was very fat, he still walked like a big living person like Carolan in tow, which made Lisa, who was running behind, a little out of breath; Soon, the three of them arrived in the hospitality hall of the manor, probably because they were going to greet Carolan, so there was no one in the hall. Although Caroline mentally made a reason for the people of the manor, it was clear that Lisa did not think it was a very reasonable situation.
"What's wrong with this manor! Lord Michael and Master Carolan are such distinguished guests, and no one comes to serve them? Do they still understand the rules? Lisa was furious when she saw Michael and Caroline sitting down, and there was still no one in the hall to serve.
"Okay Lisa, go find something to drink and bring it to Uncle Michael to quench his thirst, don't lose your temper yet!" Caroline looked at the person who let go of Carolan from the moment she entered the hall, and then found a place to sit by herself, and Michael seemed to understand something, and Caroland, who reacted, sent Lisa out of the hall very consciously.
Watching Lisa leave the hall, Carolan looked at her and sat down in a seat; At this time, Michael slowly spoke: "Carolan, do you know why I came in person this time? ”
Michael Hail's serious look made Carolan sit up in a precarious position, after all, Michael has been teasing all year round, and this sudden seriousness made Carolan very nervous. "Well, I've heard that both you and His Highness Otto have subsidized some of the irises from their own territory this time, making my first acquisition of the territory seem less cold." Carolan cautiously picked the most modest answer to reply to Michael Michael.
"Go on~ Little Carolan, that old fellow Hermann just praised you in front of His Majesty and me in the palace yesterday, saying that you have a strong sense of the overall situation and are responsive. If you're only at this level, I'll go back and laugh at your father. Listening to Carolan's words, Michael was a little noncommittal.
"Really! Did my father praise me in front of you? Carolan was immediately excited when she heard that Herman would praise herself in front of her colleagues.
“。。。。。。。。。 If I am not satisfied with your reply, I am sure that your father will have a wonderful face when he sees you tonight. Michael was a little helpless by Caroland's excited look but not understanding the point, so he could only threaten Carolan like this.
"Well, could it be that Lady Petunia has any opinion on me taking over Iris Manor." Originally, Caroline wanted to talk about Otto, but when she thought about it, she knew that it was impossible; Otto, both in memory and in history, does not look like the kind of person who is in front of him and behind the scenes. "Or is it ,,,, Sa'an...
"Well, nice little one, it's Saan." Michael, who satisfied his bad taste, didn't sell it, and said the problem bluntly. "You know, Penny loves it very much, she's always here for a long time, so Otto simply put his brother Sa'an in charge of the day-to-day management of the estate, so now this guy is a little confused about his status."
"Uh。。。。。。" Sure enough, it was this tricky guy, and Caroline was a little stunned for a moment.
"Penny likes this brother very much, so he has always been a little too pampered, Sa'an has cultivated a lot of henchmen in the manor for so many years, and since he knew that the manor was going to be transferred to you, he has been jumping up and down against this matter, but unfortunately he didn't understand who decided this matter, so it was naturally useless. But he doesn't seem to give up yet, and today he has a bit of a meaning to give you a horse. I just came early to warn him to be honest, but he kept pretending to be crazy and stupid and refused to admit his little abacus. Now we don't have any water to drink. Michael reluctantly said that Sa'an was easy to solve, but if Penny was behind, he couldn't help it. You must know that Otto loves Penny very much, loves the house and Wuxia, and Otto is also gentle to Sa'an, so Sa'an has become more and more fearless in recent years.
Carolan was lost in thought, and he also knew Otto's feelings for Penny; He knew what even Michael didn't know, but Otto's mistress gave birth to an illegitimate child to Otto in history, and when she counted, she was almost recently pregnant. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the impact when dealing with Saan-related issues, and Carolan, who has a headache thinking of this, has the urge to punch Saan's somewhat pale face.
"I'm here today, Sa'an can't do anything too much other than play a few innocuous little gestures, and the handover will definitely go smoothly. But after that. Are you ready, little Caroline, you know, a lot of people are waiting to see your jokes. Michael said as he stared at Carolan, who was a little annoyed. A little further north of Mirror Lake is the territory of an ally of the Sato family, and they don't mind giving Saan some support to get you in trouble. As if afraid that Carolan would not be bothered enough, Michael continued to break out unfavorable news.
"Oh! Oh, my God! Caroline was speechless, she was still full of ambition on the way here, and felt that she was about to embark on the peak of her life. As a result, what I received was not a golden melon seed, but a powder keg. An ally of the Sato family! In other words, there is a chance that they will have a part in that chase, let alone adding to the blockage, if there is a chance, I am afraid that they can directly hack themselves with a knife.
"Actually, I have a solution." Michael was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke to Carolan in a strange tone.
"Huh? What a way! Caroline was annoyed, and she couldn't be too happy to hear Michael's words, and she didn't care about Michael's strange tone at all.
"No matter how much Saan resists you, no matter how noble his sister's status is, he is just a manor steward; The hands and feet of those henchmen he has cultivated in the past few years are not very clean, I will find an excuse to kill them all, and you will replace a group of people from your Klose family to come in. Without support, it won't be long before Saan will find that he can't do anything, and you can just give him something to send him away when the time comes. Michael said casually, as casually as he was talking about what to eat at night.
Carolan was silent, no doubt that Michael was really doing it for his own good; As the intelligence director, no one can say anything, and the pot can't be thrown on him, after all, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. But is it worth killing so many people? Permission is not a good person, but he feels a little unacceptable to deprive others of their lives for the sake of his own little benefit (the little that Permission thinks is a little).
"Uncle Michael, except to kill." Just as Caroline was about to speak, Lisa returned, and she heard the killing word that Caroline had already spoken. "Huh? Kill? Master Carolan, are you going to hunt game again, but we didn't bring those tools. Lisa was a little unsure at the mention of the hunt with Carolan, and jumped up and placed the glass of water in her hand next to Carolan and Michael.
"Whew... Uncle Michael, no need, I believe I can solve it, the lord here will only be me, not someone else. Being interrupted by Lisa made Carolan give up her luck mentality, and being able to kill those hidden dangers for herself was already Michael's relationship with her father; And the luck psychology of myself is indeed a little too greedy.
"Alright then, then I'm looking forward to your performance." After glancing at Carolan and Lisa for a moment with a very ambiguous look, Michael took a sip of the glass and drank it, mentally thinking about how he would tease his old friend Herman when he went back.
"Then I'm leaving, little Caroline, you have to be vigilant." As if he meant something, Michael left the hall without caring about the thoughtful Caroline and the confused Lisa.
Hearing the sound of the people in the manor saying goodbye to Michael in the distance, Carolan, who had been sitting in her place since Michael left, rubbing her eyebrows, stood up. Then she straightened her clothes and shouted to Lisa, who was still confused, and was ready to go out to meet Sa'an's challenge, after all, you can't hide.
