Chapter 104: Arrive at the manor
new year.
"Willy, hurry up!"
Veria stood outside Willy's door and urged loudly.
At this time, Veria was wearing a pure white winter dress, a miniature lady's top hat, a pair of black delicate buckle leather shoes, and her golden hair was deliberately taken care of by Mrs. Shawin. The ends of his hair are curled and curled, and he looks like the child of a wealthy merchant.
Although Diamond Town has been visited many times, this time is different. I went today to attend the baron's banquet, which was something Veria had dreamed of since she was a child.
"Miss Veria, don't worry, you don't have to urge Lord Willy."
Beside Veria, there was a man in a dress. He was a coachman specially sent by Baron Kells to welcome Willy and Veria into Diamond Town. Originally, Willy wanted to take Veria on a horse, but he didn't expect Baron Kells to be so considerate. In this case, it saved Veria from shivering from the cold on the horse.
"It'll be alright soon."
Willy was in the room, sorting out the light armor on his body.
Baron Kells' dinner didn't start until after dark. At noon, he first had to attend the meeting in the manor.
The meeting will be attended by Baron Kells himself, who will welcome every guest who comes to visit from noon to afternoon. Some of these guests will participate in the evening banquet, and more are guests who are not qualified for the banquet. They visit specially to impress the baron.
In addition, there are some barons in other territories who will send messengers to bring New Year's condolences during this time period. These people are the ones that the baron should pay attention to receiving.
As the second-in-command of the Diamond Town Guards, Willy naturally also participates in this kind of occasion. Instead of Baron Kells, he had to receive guests who could not be ignored but were not worthy of the Baron's personal presence.
Therefore, when Willy participated in the noon baron meeting ceremony, he needed to wear light armor to show his identity. For him, this noon meeting was more of a duty within the scope of work.
After confirming that the light armor was properly worn, Willy put the Swift Sword presented by Racas around his waist.
The gauntlet assembled by the Swift Sword this time is a ring gauntlet, which is carried with a sword ring, which will be more ornamental in appearance and can better highlight Willy's identity.
"Let's go."
Willy walked out of the room and said to Veria and the driver.
When the driver saw Willy, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This is the first time he has seen the legendary No. 1 upstart in Diamond Town. He thought Willy, who came from a farm family, should be rude, but he didn't expect Willy's appearance and demeanor to look like he served in the past. of young aristocrats.
"Miss Veria, Lord Willy, please."
The coachman made a gesture of invitation and led them to the gorgeous and noble pale-gold carriage outside the yard.
"Velia, remember to pay attention to your appearance when you eat, don't be as casual as you are at home, and don't lose Willy's face." Mrs. Shawin walked from the house to the carriage and exhorted Veria, "Also Yes, don't speak loudly in front of people, it will make you very rude, you have to listen to Willy, don't run around..."
Mrs. Shawin obviously had no confidence in her naughty daughter.
"Don't worry, mother, I will be optimistic about Veria."
Willy is not worried about these issues. Compared with these dogmas, he hopes that Veria will have fun.
Mrs. Shawin pouted, and arranged the lace on Veria's clothes again.
Wally also ran out of the bear's den at this time, looked at Willy pitifully, and obviously wanted to be taken out by Willy.
But Willy couldn't satisfy Wally's wish this time. It would be very incongruous if a white bear appeared at Baron Kells' meeting or dinner.
"Goodbye Wally! If there is something delicious, I will definitely bring you some!"
Veria's face was full of excitement, and she gave Wally an exaggerated blowing kiss.
Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Shawin and Wally, Willy and Veria got into the carriage and drove towards Diamond Town.
On the way out of Fandoutun, Willy and Veria did not cover the curtains of the carriage. They and the residents of Fandoutun who approached each other exchanged New Year's greetings.
Looking at Willy's carriage, the villagers all showed pride in their eyes. They all know that Lord Colonel is going to the dinner of Lord Baron Kells tonight. It was a banquet for nobles, something that many people would not dare to dream of.
The carriage was moving very fast, but because of the skillful driving skills of the coachman and the luxurious and stable carriage, Willy and Veria could not feel any bumps.
As soon as he entered Diamond Town, Willy felt a stronger New Year atmosphere than Fandoutun.
The population here is larger and denser, and there are more ways to celebrate.
In a farming-based society, the New Year is the most important festival of the year. On this day, people congratulate each other and enjoy some delicacies that are usually reluctant to eat The conditions are better, and the whole family will change into new clothes.
For them, the New Year is more like a collective material enjoyment.
"Miss Veria, Lord Willy, Lord Baron's manor has arrived."
The coachman stopped the carriage steadily, and then opened the curtain for the two of them.
With the help of the carriage, Veria and Willy got off the carriage.
"Is this the baron's house?"
Veria looked at the luxurious manor in front of her and was a little shocked for a while.
Even in winter, there are still big trees full of green leaves and a large green lawn in the manor. There are birds flying overhead and crisp calls. With the back view of the attic in the distance, all this is like in a fairy tale.
Veria was stunned by the scene in front of her. In addition, seeing the crowd of Chinese costumes coming and going around her, she was not as excited and lively as before, but looked very restrained. She looked up at Willy and instinctively moved closer. Going to Willy's side, he tightly grasped Willy's hand.
"Relax a little."
Willy had long expected that Veria would react this way.
Veria didn't speak, she just looked at the people around her secretly, looking very timid.
In fact, the people around them are also looking at them.
Many people have never seen Willy, but they all hold curious eyes when they see Willy and Veria walking off a high-value carriage.
Especially on the hilt of the Swift Sword on Willy's waist, the black gemstone was particularly dazzling.
This is a very rare and valuable thing, only big businessmen can get this kind of treasure.
This young man and this girl seem very unusual. It's just that the little girl looks very restrained, which makes people feel a little strange.
