Chapter 352 Sophia's Mansion

Sophia's Mansion is located on a high land near the sea in the north of Lengshuigang City. It is a mansion, but it is actually a manor for the royal family's summer vacation.

The mansion faces the sea to the west, the Lengshuigang city area to the south, and the coastal forest farms used by local nobles for recreation to the east and north. It can be used for hunting and fishing, and also serves as an important source of local wood in Coldwater Harbor during the winter.

Shade had visited Miss Galina's estate in Tobesque, but never had a chance to look around the estate. He also visited the Lake View Manor when he attended the banquet, but it was completely incomparable with the royal family's manor.

After the entire group returned to Sophia's mansion, the two scholars were placed under temporary supervision, and Lacia would handle their affairs alone.

Princess was soaked all over. After returning, she went to take a bath first. There is a special bath with a large area in the manor for members of the royal family.

Of course Shade wouldn't be allowed to use a bath like that, but Laccia had arranged a room for him, and the bathroom in the room was enough for him to clean himself.

Only when Shade, who was soaking wet, got clean clothes to wash, the two young maids who came to deliver the clothes did not leave:

"What else do you have? "

The foreigner asked in surprise, with the towel that he used to wipe his hair draped over his shoulders.

"His Royal Highness let us help you"

"No, go out."

Shade then realized that foreigners are not used to this kind of thing.

"You don't have to misunderstand, we are the maids of His Highness, not in Sophia's mansion."

"Go out."

Shade waved his hand, a matter of principle He won't change easily. Although the outlander hopes that he can adapt to this era, there are some things he prefers to stick to his own principles:
"Go out."

So the maids can only apologize and then turn around and leave, and Shade is also safe. Take a hot shower.

When Shade changed his clothes, he thought he could see Laccia right away. Didn't expect two more barbers, led by the manor maid, to cut Shade's hair, but after cutting the hair. Looking in the mirror in the future, I can't see any difference from before.

Shade can't leave after that, and the servants push on pulley hangers to let him choose his coat, trousers, shoes, and hat. People like Shade, who didn't care much about what they wore, chose a set of black at random, but at the request of the middle-aged maid with an oppression force, he had to try more combinations.

After choosing her clothes, she can't leave. It seems that the middle-aged maid with the position of head maid actually took out a deck of Rhodes cards from the front pocket of her skirt and wanted to bet on Rhodes cards with Shade:
"This is too exaggerated, what is the reason for me to stay here?"

Seeing him ask this, the middle-aged maid calling herself Liya Helsing is a sorry reply:
" Your Highness has not finished dressing, so let us find you something to do for now. If the weather is clear, we can take you for a walk in the garden, but it is still raining, and the rest of the mansion is not convenient for you to visit. "

Shade understands this:

"Then I'll wait a while. Speaking of which, don't you doubt my identity? Don't want to know who I am?"

When he and Lecia came back, they came in through the main entrance of the mansion just and honorable.

Ms. Hulls showed a faint smile:

"You are the Hamilton Knight of Rejed, the mother Queen Diana who rescued Her Royal Highness. You don't have to worry about the king Your Majesty knows about His Royal Highness's friendship, this is not Tobesque, and since His Royal Highness can be arranged to visit Kasenrick for such an important diplomatic event, do you really think she doesn't have enough people around her to trust?"

It seems that Shade's impression of the so-called "Princess" is still too much limited by the story of his hometown.

It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon when Ms. Hulls led her to the restaurant.

It was still raining outside, and the small trees in the garden of the mansion could be seen swaying slightly in the wind from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant.

Changed out of the clothes that concealed her identity when she went out, Laccia Cavendish was wearing a fluffy blue white Princess dress, sitting in the main seat of the restaurant, High Level, and waited for Shade. The restaurant is not dark, the golden candlesticks on the long table are burning with fire, and the gas lamps with the royal family crest on the walls are also emitting rays of light.

A giant oil painting hangs on the wall behind Laccia. The red curtains on both sides of the oil painting hang down from the roof, and the golden tassel at the bottom almost touches the ground. In the oil painting is an old man riding a horse and wearing Knight armor. Even outsiders can recognize it. This is the great-grandfather of Laixia, the great-grandfather of the current king of the flame jumper Larousse III, and Jialin. Miss Na's grandfather, Mill Cavendish known as "red Lion".

He personally led soldiers into the territory of Carsenrick and killed the governor of Southern County of Carsenrick with his sword. He was the last known Emperor Knight before the prosperity of firearms. About his Stories have been passed down in Delarion for a long time and are true Legendary characters.

Shade paused in front of the restaurant's two doors before actually walking in.

Lecia sat at the far end of the long table, holding her face and looking at the rainy scenery outside the window. Red's hair was carefully groomed and hung down behind her head. On her right ear was the sage-level relic. Ruby earrings, on the left ear are the small mermaid ruby earrings that Shade sent last time.

The crown of silver is worn on the head and gleams in the rays of light of the gas lamp. The girl with the light makeup had an alluring pinkish-white complexion, and Shade couldn't recognize the lipstick that made her lips look bright.

Even though he had seen many aristocratic ladies who had made up at the banquet before, he had to admit that no one was as dazzling as the Princess sitting at the end of the table at this time.

The servants pushing the dining cart are laying out the dishes, just what Shade sees, probably enough for three meals. Of course he wouldn't say anything like wasting food, but he regretted not bringing Mia with him.

"Good noon, Shade."

Seeing Shade approaching, Lecia stretched out her hand to indicate that he could sit by her right hand.

"Good noon."

Shade also responded, and then in accordance with the principle of "compliment each other's clothes if you don't know what to say when chatting with ladies", whispered praise:
"This suit is really good."

Princess smiled shyly:
"Shade, sit down, I said on Monday that I wanted to invite you to dinner, but you At that time, I was in a hurry, and now I finally have a chance.”

In the end, only the two of them sat at the table, but there were eight dishes and two soups on the table. Shade thought it was a lot, but Lecia told Shade that she didn't expect the two to be back at noon, so it was a hastily prepared lunch.

The rule of this era is that every day's dinner is the most important meal of the day, and the big meal that Princess prepares for Shade will actually appear at dinner.
