She Is Not a Witch Chapter 53: First visit
The boundary between the sky and the sea is white. An orange sun slowly climbed up from the sea, and then gradually turned into a blazing golden white, as if only then really woke up from sleep.
The white pavilion is 5 stories high, with a prominent cylindrical shape in the middle, a rectangular parallelepiped on both sides, and two large cubes on the other end of the rectangular parallelepiped. The overall shape is roughly like this. In fact, there are only two sides. There are 4 floors, only the middle building has 5 floors, and the top floor is a beautiful prismatic spire. The pavilion is roughly white, and the roof tiles and corners are dark purple, and its style is similar to the Bavarian style in Lorrainhill’s memory.
Lorrain Hill’s room is on the left side of the third floor. The birds outside the window are calling cuckoo cuckoos on the spruce trees. The white light of the sky shines through the gaps in the dark curtains. The girl is wearing a white nightdress. Sleeping on the bed, silk-like hair scattered on the pillows, thin blankets and between the white collarbones.
After the sun slowly rises, it took a while before the girl opened her eyes reluctantly. She actually woke up for a while, but she still didn’t want to get up. She slept in the tent for a while. After being with the carriage, finally lying on the soft bed again, a faint sense of satisfaction and happiness came from all corners of the body.
唔, let's get up. After all, I don’t live alone, so I can sleep as long as I want, but I still have to pay a little attention to my image. While thinking like this, she slowly propped up from the bed, shook her head to wake herself up, and then opened the curtains, and the light from the sky illuminates the cozy bedroom.
sat in front of the dressing table and simply took care of her hair. After the hair band was tied, she remembered that this is a new bedroom, and she didn’t know where her clothes were placed. She looked around and then opened it. In her white wardrobe, a dazzling array of skirts appeared in front of her, making her a little overwhelmed for a while.
Is this for her? The problem is that she only arrived yesterday, which means it should be put away at the earliest before she entered the bedroom last night. But how do they know her proportions? They only appeared at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters last night.
Lorraine Hill took out a few clothes at random and tried them. The fit unexpectedly did not look like a general money. Instead, they were cut according to her figure.
How did they do it in advance? Wait, there is still a time gap. When she appeared at the headquarters, it was just night, and when she came back to rest, it was near the early morning. There was a nearly five-hour time gap in between. Is it a professional?
I recalled carefully that in the steward I met yesterday, there were several clothing workshops, maybe they were secretly preparing, and they would know when they asked Chelsea.
stopped thinking about these flattering actions. She chose a white body dress that fits her aesthetics. The simplicity has just the right light blue decoration.
There are some rococo-style elegant long skirts in the closet. The skirts are bell-shaped, with arc-shaped skirts inside, layers of patterned pleats, and skirts behind them. This is currently compared to the Westwind nobles. Popular, but Lorraine Hill is not too cold. I just feel too restrictive and inconvenient, just like a beautifully decorated colorful vase, that is, it looks good, and it doesn't feel comfortable to wear.
After a simple dressing, she pushed open the bedroom door. There were already 4 maids waiting outside the door. This was the result of her request yesterday. According to Chelsea's standard, 12 is the norm. This waste of manpower made the girl quite a little lamented. She doesn't need the number of people to serve to show her identity, but considering that she is unfamiliar with the need for someone to lead the way, she intends to keep two of them.
"Good morning, Missy."
The four maids bowed their heads and saluted them. They were all pretty and young, holding towels and the like in their hands, and then took the girls to the bathroom.
Breakfast was cranberry bread and honey tea. After a brief meal, Lorrain Hill began to inquire about the housekeeper Serres.
"How are Mr. Angus’s other child and his mother now?"
"Their mother and son live in a single-family loft at 209 Gladiolus Street, Hopeland. The security is very good there. Yesterday, some people were urgently sent to protect them in secret."
"Well, prepare an inconspicuous carriage. I will visit it secretly today."
"Yes, Missy."
After the Calides Chamber of Commerce returned from Lorrain Hill, it ended its previous uneasy emotions, and various orders began to be distributed from the headquarters to distant branches to inform future arrangements and decisions. A steward of horse-drawn carriages scattered from the huge headquarters, and one of the ordinary horse-drawn carriages was also mixed in.
Lorraine Hill put on a black robe again, and then he got on the carriage, followed the wheel over the bluestone street, turned several turns, and came to Jianlan Street. This is the place where the nobles lived in Hopland's early years. Later, after Wilga became independent, most of the nobles withdrew, and those who remained were also bought by the rich. The law and order here has always been good. However, Hoplander's true top flow is not here, but in the wide courtyards to the west. Those courtyards were built after the establishment of Verga, updated and more pleasing in style.
Lorrain Hill got off the carriage, then Serres wore a rigorous butler's gown and knocked on the door. Next to the carriage stood two elite guards dressed as attendants, who intentionally or unintentionally blocked other people’s Sight.
The door squeaked open. Under the violent sunlight at noon, the woman in the room seemed to be unable to open her eyes. It took a while before she recognized the housekeeper.
"Hello Mrs. Mela, in Lower Serres, I followed Master Angus before, do you remember?"
"You...Hello, I remember that you are a respectable person~IndoMTL.com~ has given me and my child a lot of help."
"You are too interested, I also assisted you according to Lord Angus's instructions. This is nothing."
Ceres paused for a while, then turned sideways, allowing Lorrain Hill to appear in front of the woman.
"This is Miss Lacey, the daughter of Lord Angus. She wants to visit you, do you think it's okay?"
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, the room is too messy." The woman's voice was a little frightened.
After a while waiting for the meeting, Lorrain Hill was greeted into the house, and a cool breath came over her face.
The curtains in the house are mostly drawn, and the lighting is a bit bad. Considering that it is summer, it is normal to be afraid of heat. The room is relatively dry and cool, and it is quiet at noon. Only occasionally the sound of the pendulum in the hall can be heard.
The grandfather clock made of mahogany and brass is in the middle of the hall against the wall. The upper area is covered with a thick layer of gray. In a quiet room, you can see some dust slowly drifting in the sunlight through the gaps of the curtains.
Mrs. Mela poured two cups of cold water from the porcelain jug next to him and put them on the table. There was dust on the lid of the porcelain jug, but fortunately, the water inside was fairly clean. It should have been prepared yesterday or this morning. .
Lorraine Hill looked at the lady in a black dress. She was a little pale, without any decorations on her body, and wrinkles on her forehead. She was only in her thirties, but she felt a kind of twilight. , Looked at Lorrain Hill anxiously and nervously.
"I'm very sorry, Mrs. Mela, I have unfortunate news to tell you today that the Angusda was attacked on the return journey some time ago and has left us forever."
As the girl's voice fell, the lady shook her hand and knocked down the tea cup next to her, and then a crisp voice sounded on the ground, smashing to pieces.
