Section 66 Development

Xingke sat in the bath and looked around the bathroom.

The bathrooms are quite large, and even if there are ten people taking a shower here, it won't look crowded. Half of the entire bathroom is made into a bath, but both the bath and other parts are paved with smooth and flat stone slabs. The heated water is slowly poured into the tub from the pipes, and bathers can soak in the tub or choose to bathe outside – it's completely as they please. In addition, the hot water in the bath is steaming, so the whole room is filled with water vapor, so even in cold weather, it will not be cold to take a bath here.

When I visited Dale's house that time, I was very envious of the bathing facilities in the castle. But I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to bathe in such a luxurious place.

The glow of the setting sun shines through the small windows high up and illuminates the entire bathroom. However, the wall on this side of the bathroom is high above the castle, which ensures that no one can peep into the bathroom from here - unless the shower finds a chair for himself to stand at the window, there is absolutely no danger of running out.

Well, if it weren't for that thing, how happy she would be now. I'm probably going to be like a little girl, laughing happily while bathing here.

Someone knocked softly on the bathroom door.

"Who!" Xingke asked subconsciously. No, there shouldn't be anybody. There would be no one else here except Ashrufat and Hoshimi—it was Ashrufat? A panic appeared in her heart. Then she remembered that she had forgotten to lock the bathroom door. Whoever is outside can now easily open the bathroom door.

"Sister, are you inside?" came the voice outside the door, and Xing Ke would never admit or hear wrong.

"I'm in there. She breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter if it was her sister. But after a brief sigh of relief, she suddenly felt an indescribable sadness. In her fantasies, in the small talk before she went to bed with her sister, she had imagined more than once that if one day the castle belonged to them, they would have celebrated by playing in the water in this bathroom.

Now it's all come true, but she's completely unable to do what she did in those fantasy scenes. Between the two sisters, I don't know when a wedge has appeared in the road, and it has penetrated deeply into the interface that was originally seamless.

As she pondered, the door had been pushed open. Hoshimi walked in. The mist produced by the transpiration of hot water in the bathroom is very thick, and Hoshimi's body appears faint in this fog. But it can be seen that she is not wearing any clothes. Hoshimi also came here to bathe.

Xingke sat in the bath, she didn't know how to open her mouth, and she didn't know how to face it, so she chose an awkward silence. She turned her gaze to the small window high up in the sunlight, revealing a look of intoxication with her body and mind, though only she knew the uneasiness in her heart.

A slight sound of entering the water comes to mind. Then she clearly felt something close to her—she didn't have to think about it, it was her sister.

"It's really comfortable, isn't it?" she heard her sister's soft, slightly hesitant voice.

"Hmm. Xingke nodded. She clearly felt Hoshimi move towards her again, and the two of them pressed closer together.

The two of them soaked in the bath quietly, and I don't know how much time had passed. The sunlight outside the window also changed from golden yellow to a crimson color.

"I'm sorry. Xingke heard his sister whisper in a barely audible voice. "I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't have done it to you in the morning...... Angry. ”

Xingke sat up, and then she felt her sister hug her from behind.

"You...... Are you still mad at me?"

"No, I'm not going to be angry. Xingke replied. She turned around and instead took her sister in her arms. In fact, the twin sisters not only have similar faces, but they are also very similar in size. Every time the sisters look at each other, they have that feeling of "looking in the mirror". Perhaps it is the similarity in appearance that makes them so close to each other more than anything else. A simple hug seems to produce that feeling of "everything is back to the way it was".

"That...... Sister, what are you doing to him...... There is such a great hostility towards him. ”

"This should be asked the other way around. What are you doing ...... for" Xingqi actually wanted to talk about last night's incident, but when the words came out, he changed. “...... Do you want to protect him like this?"

"Have you forgotten Aunt Mary's explanation?" Hoshimi asked rhetorically. But she sighed right away. "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know how to describe it...... But I want to ...... I fell in love with him. ”

"You—love—on—him?"

"I don't know how to describe it, but with him...... I will feel at ease. It seems that if I can't help it, I will pay attention to him...... If he's not around, he's going to feel lost......"

"He's just a ......"

"Sister, he's no longer the same person he used to be. Hoshimi said with some reproach. "You can't forget what the doctor said, do you?"

Starmoment instantly remembered the doctor—the one Aunt Mary had found. It was a complete stroke of luck, because the doctor was a famous doctor, and he wasn't a doctor from Brassian. It's just that he happened to be in Brasian City for a while. The doctor seemed to be quite experienced with amnesia.

The so-called "loss of memory" is death in a sense. The original man is dead, but his body is still alive. Xingke remembered what the doctor had said.

"He's ...... now. No matter what he was like in the past, but now he is, he is ...... Very suitable for marriage. Hoshimi said in a slightly uneasy voice. Her face flushed as she uttered the last sentence. He ...... Sincerely, good for us. ”

Xingke's reason told her that in fact, what her sister said was right, but there was another emotion, an emotion that she couldn't recognize or didn't dare to recognize, and she was resolutely opposed.

"I ...... Still don't believe him. Xingke replied. "I'll admit that he helped out with Io's affair, and he really didn't go out of his way to spend a lot of time. But ......" said these words, and she felt like she was in turmoil. Things have gotten out of control and are completely out of control. As twins, she knew that her sister was telling the truth, and there was no need to lie, but ......

"He bought the castle entirely for himself. It would have been a good investment. Xingke said. "This castle is surrounded by fine grass, and the annual income is about twice that of our estate, and the original price should be 13,000. And Dale Knight, in order to get rid of it as soon as possible, is willing to sell it for 115,000. Such a nice castle and such a nice land...... If we didn't really have the money, we would have bought it a long time ago, wouldn't we?"

"He ...... last night Tell me that yesterday he came across a great investment opportunity in town. The 'Shuangma' Chamber of Commerce was raising shares in the city, and people related approached him. ”

"The Twin Horse Chamber of Commerce?" Xingke said in surprise. The city of Brasian has a developed business, but there is only one local chamber of commerce that is really large-scale, so everyone knows about it. "That two-horse chamber of commerce ......"

"Well, it seems like the Chamber of Commerce is raising shares, and they have offered to let him take a stake in the prize money from the race, which is a thousand gold o'clock a year, plus he can attend shareholder meetings and even join the Chamber of Commerce. ”

It's a very generous condition – the benefits are secondary, and the key is the latter. This is actually equivalent to a smooth future. While the great nobles (or "real aristocrats") generally looked down on the merchants, the gentry and aristocrats were generally less elaborate. Joining the Chamber of Commerce and becoming one of the top levels is not only not a shameful thing, but on the contrary, it is a good prospect and enviable.

"What did he ...... for?" Xingke asked in surprise.

"Because he told me that he hopes to be with us next year to see the silver grass bloom. ”

"This is not necessarily true. Xingke said. She knew that this explanation was far-fetched, so she got up from the bath. Of course, she had been soaking for a long time and was a little dizzy.

"Let's rub it with a bath stick. ”

......

When they finished bathing and changing their clothes, it was already completely dark. The interior of the castle was dim by this time, but it was barely visible.

In the air, there is a clear fragrance, which is the smell of food. To be honest, I didn't feel anything at first, but when I smelled the smell, Xingke realized that he was hungry.

There's nothing strange about that. But after a few seconds, Xingke suddenly realized that he shouldn't have smelled these smells. This is because the servants did not move to the castle.

Because of the sale of the castle, the Knight of Dale had already moved out of the castle with his family and servants. The entire castle has only one gatekeeper during this period of sale, and several cleaners are on site at regular times. And Xingke didn't bring his servants with him this time. This is partly due to the fact that the original manor needs to be taken care of, and the other half is due to the fact that Hoshiki is not actually planning to move in, but just coming over to see and make sure that it is not a scam (relatively speaking, Hoshimi is really planning to move over). Later, I was attracted by the good bathroom, and I couldn't help but want to try it. In her original plan, she originally wanted to go back after taking a shower (the clothes of the two sisters are completely interchangeable, so you don't have to worry about changing clothes in the shower).

The source of the aroma is the restaurant in front. As mentioned earlier, the quarters of the lord's servants in this castle were separated. The master has the master's living and dining place, and the servant has the servant's living and dining place. But now there shouldn't be such a smell here......

The two sisters walked into the restaurant. The dining room is not very large, and the dining table is a walnut table with six matching chairs. At this moment, there was a candlestick in the middle of the table, and the candles had been lit, illuminating the room. Around the candelabra, there is a fragrant food line, mainly scrambled eggs with ham, a little sausage, and a small amount of vegetables. All the food is served in white porcelain plates, and the cutlery is neatly placed on the sides of the plates.

"This ......" Xingqi was a little surprised. She rubbed her eyes, almost thinking that she had entered a fairytale kingdom. In those fairy tales, princes and princesses had leprechaun servants prepare meals for them.
