Volume 1 The Noble Viscount Chapter 65 The mopping is really not suitable for dry reception
The castle is very busy today, so to speak, it can be said that it is overwhelmed, and all the big and small things are crowded together. Goff was in a very bad mood, there had been too many things lately, and if he could, he really wanted to cancel today's banquet.
However, the invitation had been sent out a week earlier, and it was estimated that there would be a lot of guests arriving today, and Gough was not bold enough to joke with all the guests.
Without Rael, the housekeeper, the manor was in a mess, and all the servants had no priorities, and although they knew that there would be a lot of guests and a lot of things to prepare today, they just didn't know how to do their own thing.
Some people only show their role after leaving, Gough misses Rael a little, if the other party is still in the castle, there will definitely be no chaos, he will make everything in order.
"Damn it!"
It's impossible to call the other party back, it's impossible, it's about Gough's face, he can't convince his arrogance.
Regarding the matter of the sub-elves, the countess of Iron City, that is, Goff's aunt, has been putting pressure on him, and there have been more than a dozen letters urging inquiries.
The first few letters Gough replied, and then, he could only choose to ignore them, without opening the envelope to know what was inside, and he would have a headache when he saw it.
The people sent out had already put the town under surveillance, and as long as the sub-elves didn't leave here, Gough could continue to follow his plan, and he was ready to do it after the banquet was over.
When people are unlucky, they don't have to think about whether they have used up their luck, Gough is a decent person, even if he is upset, he can still maintain the majesty of the lord in front of the servants.
But when something is beyond one's means, even the meek sheep will get angry.
Inside the castle, Trit's screams continued, and the sound was strange and terrifying, making the servants who were busy with their work even more frightened.
"Keep fighting, don't stop, just give him a breath. Goff angrily shouted at the servant who was carrying out the punishment.
It was a prison cell for the punishment of servants, and the light was dim, and everything except the iron door was sealed with masonry.
There were all kinds of torture instruments around, and at this time, Trite was tied to a horizontal cylindrical object, and the punisher stripped him naked, and kept calling him with the leather whip in his hand.
From the back to the heels, there is no place that is intact, and it looks like flesh and blood are blurred, and the flesh is entangled, like meat filling.
Treette didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, so he could only scream as the whip struck him, already badly wounded, and the knight had broken a few of his ribs.
Earlier, the knight approached Gough with the badly wounded Anneway in his arms and chatted with him for a while, no one knowing what they had said.
After that, no one knew where the knight went, but Goff's anger exploded completely, and he directly ordered someone to drag Trit from the bed to the torture chamber.
I'm afraid that Tret will not be able to fulfill his original promise, maybe Rael has arrived at the farm safe and sound at this moment, and he can imagine that the other party must be laughing at him, because his promise is as boring as a fart.
In the manor, Pyne, who was in his fifties, was walking towards the entrance in a black gown, and he was temporarily appointed to be in charge of reception, and he was extremely panicked.
He was a simple man who was in charge of cleaning the castle, and he had been a mopper for over thirty years, and Pyne was even able to count the number of floors in the entire castle by his own means.
This honest man was at last favored by the Creator, and when he was fifty years old, Gough placed him fifteen servants, and naturally Pyne became the steward.
He just had to look around every day, and supervise the servants by the way, what a comfortable errand, but Pyne had a problem, he would be unwell if he didn't mop the floor for a day, and he had done it for too long, and it had become an instinct.
As a result, in the castle, Pine can often be seen working with his servants, not only restoring his body to a normal state, but also earning the respect of the servants.
When Baron Gough gave him this glorious task, Pyne froze, he refused in his heart, he had never dealt with nobles, and he did not know what to do at all.
But the lord's orders cannot be disobeyed, and must be obeyed as a servant, unless you don't want to live anymore.
In front of the manor, there was a large square, and behind it was a lively street, which was the private property of the castle, and Pyne knew he had to keep an eye on the other side of the street.
If a guest comes, he has to go up to receive him, and his body is a little uncomfortable with the black dress, and if he can, Pyne would rather wear the old clothes he did his own work.
"Creator bless, I hope I won't mess things up, noble lords, please give me a little more tolerance. Pine prayed inwardly.
"Mr. Pine. β
"Mr. Pine. β
Two more maids came out of the manor, they were Pyne's subordinates, and they were in charge of assisting each other today, so they changed into white swan dresses, which was also explained by Baron Gough.
None of the three had any experience in this area, and the maid looked nervous, afraid that she would do something stupid to anger the nobles, and that if it really happened, she would not be able to save her life.
"Take it easy, although I'm nervous to death now, but you know, we can't let the nobles see the joke, that will make the lord lose face, so, let's work together!"
Pine smiled at the two maids and patiently admonished.
"Uh-huh. The two women nodded vigorously, and they felt warmth from Pyne's smile.
God seems to love to joke, especially for those who are anxious, the sun is just over and Pyne has waited for nothing.
There was not a single shadow of the nobles, and for some reason, he suddenly had a naΓ―ve guess in his heart that perhaps those nobles had forgotten the time of the invitation.
"Attention, there's a guest coming, don't get distracted. β
Seeing someone walking from the middle of the street to the square, Pyne reminded him and hurried up to meet him.
"Hello, distinguished guest, and welcome to Baron Gough's castle, hard work. The first time he saw someone with black glasses, Pine felt a little strange, but when he noticed Lan Ya and Hei Ya on the other party's shoulder, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't you think you're rude like this?" Seeing that the other party was distracted, Roque had to remind him loudly.
"Ah, I'm sorry for my honorable guest, but can you show me your invitation?" asked Pine, anxious, beads of sweat falling down his face.
"I don't have an invitation, you don't seem to be suitable for such a reception, what about Rael, shouldn't he be here for such a big event as a banquet?"
Pine froze, he was so confused by Roque's question that he didn't know how to answer, and then he realized that the other party didn't have an invitation, and he hesitated, as if he could get rid of the other party.
"I, can I really do this?" Pine felt like he didn't have the courage to do such a thing, looking at Roque quietly.
