Chapter 178: "Goddess"
The group came to the foot of the mountain in a majestic way, and in front of them was the ramp leading to the Rose Castle, and before Gervais and the others arrived, two guards of the Rose Knights who were in charge of guarding them stepped forward to ask.
"The two adults have worked hard, please show me the invitation!"
Gervais and Pat are not the early arrivals, some nobles have even left half a month in advance because of the long distance, so the two guards were not surprised to see Gervais and the others, but skillfully gave them a military salute and stepped forward to ask.
Gervais and Pat sat on their horses and did not move, but nodded to the guards, and then Anna and Tren, two personal servants, rode forward and handed the banquet invitation from Rose Castle to the two guards.
"Baron Pat, Baron Gervais! Welcome to Rose Castle! ”
The guards checked and accepted the invitation, and after checking that it was correct, they respectfully saluted Gervais and Pat again before stepping aside and turning to the other guards and shouting loudly.
"Release! Baron Gervais and Baron Pat are here! ”
Gervais and Pat then rode their horses all the way down the gentle slope to the gates of Fort Rose.
"Captain, is that white horse a monster just now?"
"I guess so! A horse that can grow horns must be a monster! ”
"That Baron Gervais must be very rich, I think I've heard his name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while!"
"Hey, when you say that, I think the name Baron Gervais does seem like I've heard it somewhere!"
At the foot of the mountain, after Gervais's people were walking towards the castle on the mountain, the two guards who had just stepped forward to inquire began to discuss, for Gervais's unicorn, the two had already discovered, they were first amazed that Gervais, a small baron, could have a monster as a mount, and then began to wonder about the familiarity of the name Gervais.
……
"Lord Gervais, welcome back!"
"Baron Pat, welcome to Rose Castle!"
When Gervais and the others arrived at the gate of the castle, Lina, who had already received the notice, was already waiting, because Alice was a big nobleman, and Gervais and the others were just minor vassals, of course, they were not qualified to be greeted by the Earl.
Lina, who was the butler, was enough to receive Gervais, a baron like them.
"Hello, beautiful Miss Lina! I don't know if Miss Lina has been available lately, can I invite you to join us in Winterfell for lunch? ”
Lina's voice fell, and Pat, who had obviously known her before, was the first to speak, inviting Lina with an expression that seemed obscene to Gervais.
"No, and Baron Pat, I'm already the butler of Rose Castle now! Please call me Butler Lina in the future! ”
Lina immediately put away her smile at Pat's invitation, rolled her eyes directly, and then refused him without hesitation, and even accentuated her tone when reporting her new position.
If Lina is just Alice's personal maid, then now that Alice is married, Lina can marry as long as Alice allows it.
However, if Lina becomes the steward of Fort Rose, it means that Lina will never be able to marry, and even if she does, she will marry the heir of the Jones family, after all, a butler is in charge of many secrets under the hands of the nobles.
"Uh......"
Facing Lina's cold tone and Lina's housekeeper's name, the smile on Pat's face instantly froze.
"Lord Gervais, please!"
After dealing with her personal affairs with a cold face, Lina changed her identity to the butler again, smiled at Gervais, and then made a gesture of invitation, inviting Gervais to enter the Rose Castle.
"Thank you, Steward Lina!"
Gervais wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't laugh at it, this Pat's little fat man was really a character, and he wanted to dig Alice's corner, although Gervais didn't know Lina before, but from Thomas's mouth, he already knew that Lina was Alice's personal maid, and just after Pat called Lina's name, Gervais confirmed her identity.
"I didn't expect Lina to become the butler of Rose Castle, hey! Miss Lina is the goddess of many nobles in Winterfell......"
"Poof!"
Gervais finally couldn't help laughing, at this moment Lina was leading the way in front, Gervais and Pat had already dismounted, walking side by side, hearing Pat's little fat man's words of concern, Gervais didn't expect this Pat's little fat man to really dare to make up his mind.
"Shouldn't the goddess be Alice?"
But then a trace of doubt rose in Gervais's mind, and his eyes looked at Lina in front of him, although he didn't have to say anything about his appearance and figure, but he was a little worse than Alice, Alice's face, even Gervais had never seen such a beautiful and moving woman in his previous life.
"Miss Alice is the only daughter of Lord Earl, the heir to the Earl's throne, we are all vassals of the Jones family, there is no way to ......"
Pat seemed to know Gervais's thoughts, and explained to Gervais, but only halfway through his words, he suddenly thought that the Earl's husband was not right in front of him, and Gervais was not the heir of a vassal, so he immediately stopped talking.
"I see!"
Gervais instantly understood that Alice was swan meat, and they toads didn't dare to think about it, so they could only hit Alice's personal maid with their ideas.
After all, although Lina is not as beautiful as Alice, she is also one of the best beauties elsewhere, and she is also the personal maid of the future earl, as long as she marries her, with the relationship between Lina and Alice, it will not be smooth sailing in the future.
Moreover, Gervais also heard that Lina was also the daughter of a nobleman, and his father was also a vassal baron, so even if he married her as a maid, he would not insult the lintel of the noble.
"Lord Gervais, Baron Pat! Your subordinates and the convoy will have servants arranged, please follow me into the inner fort, and I will arrange the rooms for you! ”
After taking Gervais and Pat into the vestibule, Lina stopped and turned to Gervais and Pat.
"Thank you Steward Lina, but what should I do with Steward Lina, a unicorn?"
Of course, Gervais had no opinion on Lina's arrangement, but suddenly remembered the unicorn he was leading, Gervais was a little unsure of how to deal with it, it was definitely not possible to put him in the stable, the stable couldn't hold the unicorn at all, in case he ran out when he was not there, it would not be good to accidentally hurt someone.
"Warcraft, unicorns?"
Lina was a little stunned and confirmed with Gervais again.
Of course, the unicorn Lina knows that she is Alice's personal maid, although she is a servant, but she is also a nobleman, and her status is not low, whether it is in Rose Castle or in the royal capital, she will receive whatever education Alice receives, so the reserve of knowledge will only be higher than that of Gervais and not lower than that of Gervais.
"Hmmm! It's a unicorn, and I'm afraid he'll hurt in a normal stable! ”
Gervais said seriously.
