Master Overlord - Chapter 354
Windbreak castle.
The maid picked out a blue dress from the wardrobe, brought it to Jenny’s eyes, smiled and asked softly, “Miss, what do you think of this one? It must be beautiful for you.”
Jenny looked, nodded, stood in front of the mirror and asked the maid to dress herself.
“Lynette,” she asked softly, “did you see pace? He disappeared when I woke up. I didn’t know where he was in the morning.”
Lina is her maid. She has served her since she was a child. Now, she is married to the kewilt family in the north. Of course, the other party will start a new life here with her.
Half a month after the wedding, her father, aunt and little sister had already left and returned to the west, and she began to slowly calm down from her initial nervousness, trying to get familiar with this strange castle, as well as the people and things here.
She was very upset about her marriage. People say that people in the north are vulgar and barbaric, and the north is the most backward region of the whole kingdom. But what could she do? Even if her father asked her to marry a man much bigger than herself, she could do nothing but pray that the other party would not have a bad temper. Like aunt Suman, this is the responsibility of the family.
Fortunately, she was lucky. Maybe the gods heard her countless secret prayers, so that her husband was not a middle-aged aristocrat, but a young, handsome, honest and loving Knight!
Yes, pace, in Jenny’s eyes, is such a perfect husband, perfect enough to be better than the protagonists described in those knight novels!
Only one thing, pace is always too busy pitying the weak to spend more time with her.
But she doesn’t blame him. Compassion for the weak is also a necessary character for a great knight.
She likes to listen to pace and talk to her about his stories with civilians and serfs. She can feel that when she talks about these, her husband’s eyes will shine with dazzling brilliance. He gets happiness from it, and she wants her to be happy.
The only regret is that they are just married. She hopes pace can have more time with her. The castle, and everything in the north, made her feel very strange. She hoped that pace would take her to know here and tell his childhood stories. She wants to know him better.
Of course, she also knows that she shouldn’t be so greedy. Although pace couldn’t accompany her to get familiar with here, Eugenie would take her around the castle every day to chat and tell her some embarrassing things about pace as a child.
And his husband always clamored to clean up Eugenie, saying she should be disciplined, but she could see that their brother and sister had a great relationship. Under the leadership of Eugenie, she quickly integrated into the new life in Fengxi castle.
“It should be in the castle,” replied the maid linay, tying her belt behind Jenny. “When I first came, I saw two servants of master pace. They didn’t look like they were going out.”
“That’s good.” Jenny smiled and nodded. She shook her skirt in front of the mirror with both hands, feeling satisfied. “Is that ok? I’ll have dinner with my father and Eugenie later.”
“And Lord pace!” looking at the look of expectation on the young lady’s face in the mirror, the maid Linai smiled behind her.
“Well, you dare laugh at me!” Jenny immediately turned to teach Lina a lesson, while the maid laughed and begged for mercy, shouting that she would never dare again.
……
When Jenny came to the restaurant, she found that everyone had arrived except her. She hurried to the Duke with an apologetic salute on her face, and secretly decided to be the first to wait in the restaurant, at least not later than her father.
Looking at her, the originally stiff faced Duke immediately showed a kind smile, pointed to the position next to pace and said, “sit down, Jenny, you’re not late, and the servants are still serving.”
“Yes, thank you, father.” Jenny saluted again and added, “after you, I’m late. I’ll come earlier in the future.”
At this time, Eugenie, sitting opposite pace, quickly waved to her and invited her, “Jenny, I want you to sit next to me. Come on!”
Jenny smiled at her. She knew Eugenie was a smart girl. It was even kinder to greet her at this time. But now she wants to be next to her husband.
But before she could turn the smile on her face into an apology, the Duke directly decided where she would go: “Jenny, go, go next to Eugenie. We are already a family. You don’t have to be so restrained. I know you are a polite and good child. Unlike your husband… Oh, he is already a man with a wife.”
Hearing the speech, Jenny had to sit next to Eugenie. After sitting down, she turned her eyes to pace opposite. She could see that there was a trace of excitement and joy in his eyes, but she deliberately maintained a cold face. She looked at the first Duke quietly. At this time, she suddenly found that the atmosphere on the table seemed not harmonious.
What happened? Remembering her father’s sarcastic remarks about her husband just now, she couldn’t help but quietly motioned to pace with her eyes showing concern, hoping that he could give her some answers. But she suddenly observed a proud smile on the corner of pace’s mouth.
“They had some quarrels,” Eugenie answered as the servant handed out the food.
“Quarrel?” she whispered. It seems that her husband won, but doesn’t it matter?
Eugenie seemed to be able to see what she was thinking and answered her in a low voice again: “don’t worry, it’s no big deal. It’s the way they exchange feelings, and you’ll get used to it. As long as we don’t lift the roof of the castle, we don’t have to participate.”
Jenny was slightly surprised. It was something she didn’t know.
Looking at the father and son who were still silent, she whispered again, “can you tell me why?”
Jenny has an urgent desire to pay for the family, and the contradiction between father and son seems to be a good opportunity.
Eugenie grabbed a piece of soft bread that had just been cut, opened her mouth and bit a gap. She said casually, “it’s about the war in the north. The alliance between the tustra family and the campes family has caused great trouble to the Barrett family. It is said that the whole Andorra county has suffered heavy losses. Now they plan to negotiate peace and hope their father will testify.”
Jenny has heard of these three families, especially the tustra family. The dressing glasses placed in the bedroom are the wedding gifts given by each other to her and pace. In addition, there are many expensive things.
“Is there any problem?” Jenny looked puzzled. Although she doesn’t know much about everything in the north, there should be no contradiction between father and son in such a thing.
Is it true that, as Eugenie said, quarreling is the way they exchange feelings? Jenny suddenly felt that she had a lot to know.
