(156) Romantic Night
"Oh my God! I thought it was a villa in the suburbs, but I never expected that His Majesty would give us such a big castle! Janine exclaimed.
Structurally, Johansen Castle is clearly a castle with a considerable history, it was built at the end of the 11th century for war, and now the thick walls and watchtowers have disappeared, and the exquisite fountain garden has been replaced by a huge mansion for the purpose of living comfortably.
The castle has apparently undergone a major modernization in the recent past, with the original coarse stone walls being plastered and repainted, and now the entire façade of the castle has been painted in immaculate pure white, with newly encapsulated stone window lattices, stained glass to spotlessly clean and ornate archaic vaults that have been completely restored to retain a certain classical element and full of utility.
The marquis and his wife walked along the flat stone path, and there was an iron fence around the courtyard of the castle, and two heavily armed guards stood outside the beautiful arched iron gate.
Passing through the iron gate is the vast castle garden, surrounded by towering ancient trees and green meadows, the flowers in the flower beds are rare and rare varieties, the center of the courtyard is a small man-made pond, the statues on the water hide the fountain vents, forming an organ-like cascading stream, the whole garden is the work of top horticultural design masters, everything is quiet and poetic.
"Oh my God, isn't this the palace?"
"Indeed, I have checked the information, this castle was originally one of the palaces of the ancient Valstad Emperor, but it was mainly used for defensive functions at that time, and now it has been completely transformed into a comfortable mansion."
Walking to the main entrance of the castle, the huge oak arch was pushed open from the inside, and a gentleman in a white wig appeared in front of them, holding out his white-gloved palm.
"Lord Marquis, Marquise, welcome to Johansen Castle, I have come here at the behest of Her Majesty the Empress, and I have the honour to be the steward of this castle, my name is Angelos, you can simply call me Angel, it is an honor to serve you."
"Hello, Angel." Dalí and Janine shook hands with him in turn.
Then, the butler turned to the people behind him and said, "Colleagues, these two are our future lord and lady, you have to work hard!" ”
"Good evening, honorable lord and lady!" Everyone bowed in unison.
If you look closely, there are more than 40 servants behind the housekeeper, it looks like a well-trained army, they are lined up in neat columns, different types of work wear different uniforms, there are male servants, maids, cooks, gardeners, bodyguards, grooms, construction engineers, housekeeper assistants......
"Sir, the bathroom and bedroom are ready, the servant will show you the way, this castle has not been reopened for a long time, and there is still a lot of work to be done, if nothing else, I will go and get busy."
"Thank you, Angel." Janine hugged him.
As a person personally selected by Her Majesty the Empress, the housekeeper Angel was very shrewd and capable, and he ordered most of the servants to go back to the dormitory to rest, and the remaining ten or so went to their respective posts to work the night shift, and he himself was holding a small notebook, writing and drawing on it, and kept busy.
Looking at the orderly servants, Jian Ning said gratefully: "Your Majesty is really caring, she has arranged everything, and we can stay when we come." ”
A manservant and a maid stayed by their side and said politely, "We are personal servants, you must be tired, the hot water is already boiling, please follow us to our respective bathrooms." ”
Dalí took his wife's arm and followed the servant's guidance, when he suddenly remembered something and whispered, "My dear, I have made a decision privately, I have hired several disabled veterans to work here, they are all wounded on the battlefield and have had some limbs amputated, and I want to help them." ”
"Great!" Jane Ning kissed her husband, "I am desperately learning medical knowledge now to help these people, if they get timely care, most of them will not be left disabled!" Dali, let's work together to help more people! ”
Hearing their conversation, the two personal servants who led the way were greatly moved, and secretly respected their lord and wife.
The interior of the castle is so beautifully decorated that the journey from the hall to the baths is like walking through a museum.
After bathing, Dalí and Janine changed into their pajamas, and the servant led them to the master bedroom on the third floor of the castle.
It can be seen that this place was once one of the palaces of the ancient emperors, whether it is carved or stone pillars, they are extremely exquisite, the colors of furniture and wallpaper are mostly tender green, pink, scarlet, and the materials used to decorate the footlines are 100% pure gold, which is extremely luxurious.
"Thank you for your hard work, step aside."
"If you need service, feel free to rattle the bell and good night!" With that, the personal servant closed the bedroom door.
Janine found her husband playing with a small wooden carving that looked like a small red eagle.
"I noticed, you were holding it all the way, what is this wood carving?"
"A friend's gift." When he said this, Dali's face was slightly gloomy.
"You look a little sad...... Your friend...... Isn't it already ......?"
Dali sighed: "Hey...... You guessed it right, dear, yes, the man is no longer there. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sad to hear this, Dali, I worry about the safety of the front-line soldiers every day, worry about you, this is the motivation for me to persist in studying medicine."
Dalí put down the wood carving, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief, put it in the drawer of the bedside table, and then hugged his wife: "Do you know why I love you so much, Jane, you are not only beautiful, but also have a warm and kind heart, and always think of others in everything." ”
"You too, my dear, thank you for my father's teachings, he made us remember the responsibility and virtue, it is because we firmly believe in these that we can overcome all the obstacles and tide over difficulties, I also educate our children according to this standard, the emperor and the prime minister praise little William for being sensible and polite, and the princes and princesses also like to play with him."
"Haha, speaking of children, Her Majesty the Empress already has five, plus an adopted son Little Victor, that's six, but we only have one little William, shouldn't we also work hard?"
Jian Ning's face blushed to the base of her neck, and she beat her husband's chest: "Nasty ghost! ”
Dali stretched out his strong arms, stretched out a bruised hand, grasped his wife's white wrist, and put the other hand on her chin, his breathing gradually shortened, his blue eyes stared directly at the beautiful amber eyes, his skin became hot, and the fire of desire burned violently in his heart.
(Janen Winsted, the woman I love the most is you, and I'm as sure of that as the human race is going to die, and even if the sky falls apart, it won't change my affection.)
You can fade, grow old, wither, gain weight, and lose shape...... Anything, even if you become a wrinkled old woman, I only need to look at you, and all tenderness will immediately come to my heart. )
Tonight we decided to indulge in a party
Standing in the rainstorm
Tears of happiness flowed
See you,
Everything is fine
It's like crystal meets sunlight
Your eyes are flames
I burned violently in it
Indulge in my ashes
Lingering all night
Fun all night long
A new life is born
It makes me feel
I'm still alive
Thank you, gods
May all this be good
Long......
