Chapter Twenty-Three: Suddenly

According to the social etiquette of the aristocracy, if you want to visit the door, you must make an appointment in advance, write down the intention of the visit on the prayer post, write down the time of the visit, sign the name of the visitor and the attaché, so that the host family can arrange the tableware and chairs on the banquet, if necessary, it is also convenient for the host family to arrange a place to rest in the evening, and then send someone to hand over the prayer post to the visitee, and after the main house has seen the prayer post, make a simple reply to the attendant of the visitor, indicating that he will wait for the visitor within the agreed time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if the time of the visit is inconvenient for you, you will also write a reply to the attendant to bring back, humbly apologize for the reason, and visit by yourself another day.

This etiquette has actually been practiced for a long time, but with the different social circles, the nobles who are extremely familiar with each other sometimes prefer a sudden "surprise" to show their intimate relationship with their masters. Therefore, although this etiquette continues to this day, most of them are only used when they are not familiar with each other, or when subordinates visit their superiors in daily life, and when foreign envoys visit.

In terms of the friendship between Chrispandis and Dylan, it was natural to put the worship set aside.

On the second day of arriving at the Bell Empire, the two prepared some gifts along the way, put on formal clothes and got into a luxurious carriage, all the way to the Yakton Manor, and Stiana, who had always regarded herself as a disciple and attendant of the two, refused to sit in the carriage together, but rode a horse and followed all the way.

Forty kilometers away, in fact, according to the speed of the four-wheel drive carriage under the seat, it can only be reached in an hour, but because there is no hurry, it took a full hour and a half before Jacton Ling appeared in front of him.

Due to the proximity to the imperial capital, and because of the wealth of the territory, the houses here are built very high-spirited, and along the way, the three of them did not see a house made of civil engineering. Since the city gate, the ground is paved with flat and wide stone slabs, some special areas are also engraved with exquisite patterns, and the buildings everywhere are well planned, such as civilian areas, rich areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, administrative areas, and obvious road signs have been set up at the forks of the road.

However, most of the residents here did not seem to be too friendly, and when Stienne asked about Yakton Manor, although she was not refused, she still received a lot of wary looks.

"Why are they like this?"

There was a puzzle in Stiana's eyes.

Pandis looked at Chris and blinked.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Chriss, too, made her laugh as she winked, "You think I know everything!"

"It stands to reason that a commoner should not be outwardly dissatisfied with the nobility - behind the scenes, it is fine. Chris scratched his head, "Maybe it's because of the xenophobia of the region." ”

At the innermost part of the domain, more than three hundred acres, there was a very neatly manicured turquoise lawn, and a wide white stone path in the middle led to the huge building surrounded by high walls.

Even if you are far away, you can clearly see the wide and solemn stone semi-circular road inside, which surrounds the circular artificial lake in the center, and there are exquisite stone railings on both sides of the road, and the plants behind the stone railings are trimmed into a circular canopy, without extra branches, as if standing on both sides of the road to welcome everyone who walks by the road.

The main entrance of the manor is a tall iron gate, and the two iron doors are also inlaid with the crest of the Jacton family - green brambles in the form of flames around a vulture standing on horseback.

From a distance, it looks like two green eyes.

This shows that the first head of the family who founded the Yakton family started with military exploits, but when you think of the declining Yakton family, such a family emblem just makes people feel emotional.

Stiena dismounted, stepped forward and patted the huge iron ring on the door, and a crisp, dull sound was heard inward.

No one answered.

Stiena tapped the door again.

Finally someone came out and opened a small door.

It was an armored guard, and he glanced up and down at Stiena with a pair of wary eyes, and then looked closely at the carriage: "Who are you?"

Chris frowned, and quietly lifted the curtain to look out.

Stiena was also stunned, but immediately replied: "The two people in the car are classmates of the eldest lady of your mansion, Dilan Jacton, who passed through your country and came to visit, and asked for your beauties..."

“... Please let Miss Dylan know. Stianna could only vaguely pass.

The man looked at Stianna again, the vigilance in his eyes was unabated, and there was a hint of suspicion, and it took a long time before he said, "... Please wait!"

The small door closed with a bang.

Chris's brow furrowed even tighter, and he reached out from the curtain and beckoned to Stiena.

"Mentor?" said Stianna, walking to the window and looking at him inquiringly.

"Something is wrong!" Chriss, lowering his voice, "Get ready." ”

Stiena's eyes flickered, but she nodded obediently.

Chris hurriedly put on the light armor in the carriage and covered it with his robe.

As for Stiana, she originally came as a guard, and it was reasonable to wear armor and weapons on her body, but with Cris's reminder, she quickly turned the scabbard to the left side so that she could draw her weapon at any time.

Then wait quietly.

I waited for nearly five minutes.

"Something's wrong!" Chrissy muttered.

Pandis said softly, "Then we came at the right time!"

Chris smiled, "That's right!"

"You seem excited!" said Pandis in a low voice.

Chris froze, looked back at Pandis and asked, "Will it?"

Pandis nodded.

Chris laughed self-deprecatingly, "It seems really, strange," he moved his arm slightly, "I didn't think you knew me so well." ”

"Of course!" Pandis said with a smile, "I'm you..."

"Don't blush!" Chrissy said suddenly, "You're my wife, that's right, what a blush!"

"Nasty!" Pandis's face turned even redder.

The iron door made a dull noise and slowly opened inward, interrupting the frolic between the two.

"Are you ready?" Chrissy smiled.

Pandis nodded.

The two stepped out of the carriage together.

At the opening of the gate, there were two columns of guards on both sides of the stone road leading to the interior, one person in three steps, and the number should be more than fifty people, each wearing armor and carrying weapons, and a pair of cold eyes glanced at the three people from time to time.

The guard before should be a small leader, and he tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "I'm really sorry, because the three came suddenly, and the head of the family ordered a grand reception in the next, so it's really been a long wait, Miss Dilan is waiting for the three inside, please."
