She Is Not a Witch Chapter 137: Early morning in the territory
One week later in the morning.
In the bedroom of the mansion, Miss Geweier had just woken up, one maid was helping her with her hair, and the other was helping her with her dress.
Today, she is wearing a blue and black aristocratic dress with black gauze between the sleeves and skirt, covering the fair skin inside, making it hazy and beautiful.
The door of the room was gently knocked open, and a younger maid walked into the room. She had golden hair tied into a fluffy shape behind her head, and part of it was hidden in a white maid hat.
"Good morning, miss."
"Good morning, Iyena."
Speaking, the younger maid walked to Geweier's side and stood still.
After Lorraine Hill joined this Viscounty, Iyena was also brought in by her. Now she is Geweier's personal maid, or half of Geweier's deputy.
In the imperial court, a personal maid of an aristocratic woman is a rather special position. It is not like a maid who is used by ordinary people to do chores, or a servant who completely serves others. In many cases, this position is filled by the daughters of minor nobles entrusted by the great nobles.
The daughters of these minor nobles have been educated since they were young. They help the hostess with some clerical work, or convey some wishes and ideas.
Because they stay by their side all the year round, they are trusted by those noble women, and sometimes they help them take care of certain properties and so on. As a result, their power and status are far superior to other servants, second only to housekeepers.
Now Iyena is taking on such a role. She will often stay by the young lady's side and help her with simple affairs. Of course, there is also an element of monitoring Geweier, after all, it is impossible for Lorraine Hill to completely trust Geweier.
Compared to completely indulgent trust, this kind of restraint to a certain extent will allow the two parties to cooperate better.
However, to Lorraine Hill's surprise, this Miss Geweier did not reject this kind of behavior, she even knew the reason for it very well, and would tell Iyenna next to her about every detail.
"Has Mr. Unknown woke up, can we have breakfast together today?" Seeing that the grooming was finished, Geweier asked Iyena beside him.
The unknown knight lives on the other side of the same building, but the two rooms are at the two ends of the corridor, far apart. On weekdays, this unknown knight would eat and drink in the room, and would not eat with everyone. Occasionally cleaning the room was also done by Iyena, and no one else was allowed to enter that room.
"Master Unnamed has already woken up, this meeting should be guiding the reconstruction work with Mr. Guwas." Iyena recalled the scene of seeing Lorraine Hill as early as possible, and explained in this way.
"Unfortunately, I can't have lunch with Miss Gravell." Iyena bowed down to apologize instead of the unknown knight.
In the public announcement, Iyena was also the girl saved by the unknown knight on the side of the road, and now she is homeless, so she had no choice but to join here.
Slightly pursing her lower lip, Gewier lowered her head in disappointment.
"So..."
In the past few days of getting along, Iyena could see that Geweier had an extraordinary affection for this unknown knight, and even had a kind of blind worship.
Iyena was very puzzled by this, and once she even asked Geweier in private.
"Don't you resent Lord Wuming? After all, he saved your father-killing enemy."
Gewier was sitting under the candlelight, looking out of the quiet window, and answered slowly.
"Although this is the case, it is not the father he killed."
"Besides, how can everyone be so sure that I must have a good relationship with my father?" As she said this, the noble girl turned around, her pupils looking like a starry sky.
"I am bleeding his disgusting blood, and I have to be grateful to him for giving me life, but feelings are not such a simple thing."
The aristocratic girl is unwilling to talk about what happened after that.
These days, Lorraine Hill also asked the residents of the city about the past of the former Viscount Wenlani, and he knew something about the past.
The Wenlani family originated from the central part of the empire. It is not a famous big family, and its ancestors did not have any outstanding military exploits. How did they obtain a large area of sealed land?
You must know that the origins of many nobles in the southern border can be traced back to their ancestors.
Although the viscount is not considered a great nobleman, he is still a middle-rank nobleman with a certain status, and he is an existence that can be passed on to his family.
This has to mention several lucky moves of his ancestors. Perhaps the family lineage is really good. In that generation, Wen Lani's ancestors had an extremely beautiful younger sister. His own sister became the lover of a certain general.
As a result, I also relied on my nepotism to get a job in the army, and got a lot of military merits, so I actually got a baron title later. But no matter how high it is, it will not work. After all, at that time, the Cangcui Empire was in its heyday, and the system was strict. At the level of Viscount, one had to report to the emperor and be strictly examined.
Later, with the status of baron, the Wenlani family began to build a manor here, and initially built a castle belonging to their own family.
Spent two generations in this way, and gradually integrated into the local aristocratic circle. After being awarded the title, the bloodiness gradually faded, and the nobles in the surrounding circle were no longer as brave as their ancestors, and naturally they did not reject the 'trash' families like Wen Lani as they did in the past.
Because everyone is useless.
A comfortable life is so comfortable that people don't want to take any risks to get bloody.
After the peaceful era, this generation of Baron Wenlani happened to be extraordinarily handsome, and finally pleased a certain young lady, and that young lady was the daughter of the Red Dragon Duke at that time.
As the guardian grand duke of the southern border, the power and prestige of the Baskar family is unparalleled, but even so, the duke who dotes on his daughter does not allow this marriage.
Afterwards, the old duke arranged another marriage for his daughter. As a price for his daughter's peace of mind, he allocated a small part of the territory, barely enough for the status of viscount, and promoted Baron Wenlani to viscount.
In that era, the imperial aristocratic circle was no longer as glorious as it was in the early years, and it was Duke Baska who did this kind of thing, so naturally no one dared to say much.
Thus, the Wenlani family took this opportunity to ascend to another level.
Since then, time has passed leisurely, and several generations have passed, and now it is the generation of Geweier's father.
This **** also has a handsome appearance, flirting with flowers and grass all around, showing mercy everywhere, and fascinated many aristocratic women.
It's a pity that his luck doesn't seem to be as good as that of his ancestors, and no lady from a famous family has taken a fancy to him, and as he got older, he gradually gave up the life of pampering himself and spending time and money.
"Mrs. Wenlani? I haven't heard of this person for a long time~IndoMTL.com~It seems that she passed away very early." Residents in the city said so.
"Miss Gravell? Actually, I just found out about this name today. We have never heard of the viscount having such a beautiful daughter before."
"It's unbelievable that that lecherous and disgusting guy has such a beautiful daughter."
"It's hard to imagine, but judging by the appearance, there is indeed a bit of similarity. The gods are really unfair to give that scum such a handsome appearance."
"I don't know about Ms. Geweier. I came down from the mountain only after I heard the order from Brother Gouhuasi. Those noble ladies, no matter how beautiful they are, what's the use of them? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I only care about the future Will it still charge such a heavy tax, and will it be able to have enough food?"
Under the call of Gu Huasi and a group of middle-level rebels, the residents who fled before began to return to the city in twos and threes. They were surprised by the special changes in the city, and then quickly settled down.
Even if a leader like Gu Huasi is alive and well, then they will not be held accountable. The backlog of anger dissipated, and these people longed for a stable and stable life again.
