Heavenly Star, Ark Harbor.

After a fresh snowfall, the White Castle became whiter and whiter. The branches and leaves of the old trees, and the eaves of the spire of the castle, were covered with soft white snowflakes. The servants of the White Castle were clearing the snow, and it was expected that there would be snow in the next few days. The snow is gone, and the new snow is coming, and it won't be so easy to clean up then. If the snow crushes the roof ridges of the towers, although the current hostess is very talkative, I am afraid that she will not blame it, but the fear of being a subordinate is inevitable. Therefore, it is better to clear the snow as soon as possible.

Beginning with the Count of Auban, the lord of the castle was not strict with his servants. It was only during the brief period of Earl Giles' reign over the castle that the servants got a taste of what it meant to be conscientious. When Mace, the old butler, is also left untouched, the servants lose their last protection. Umbrella, every day is extraordinarily stressful. Fortunately, Gilles soon disappeared, taking his place in charge of Jora in the White Castle. The older servants had almost watched her grow up, and the mistress, like her brother, had no harsh discipline over her subordinates, and had more of a woman's natural tenderness.

Take this winter as an example, the clothes and bedding of the subordinates have been renewed, and the salary has increased by 20% compared with before. This made the servants in the White Castle happy in their hearts, and the mistress worked harder.

The two young men squatted on the highest bell tower of the White Castle, fixed themselves with ropes, and scraped the snow covering the top of the tower into the iron bucket in their hands with a scraper, and then lowered the iron bucket. After the men below had poured the snow out of the bucket, they pulled the rope and signaled, so they went up again, repeating the previous work. Of the two young men, one was shorter, but his body was stocky. The other one is more handsome, with soft amber hair.

The sturdy young man poked his companion with his elbow and said, "Don't look at Wechy, Miss Jola didn't go to the back garden today." I don't look at the weather now, how can the young lady go to the garden to wander. "If you look down from the clock tower, you can see the garden behind the castle. The amber-haired Wechy glared at his playmate, whom he had known since childhood, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Bit wants Miss to hear, and you won't beat us up." ”

The young man known as Bit laughed, "Miss, she's a good person, she won't do this." ”

"yes. She is good to everyone, the day before yesterday, Lao Li Ke accidentally spilled a cup of coffee on Miss, and she didn't see her lose her temper, Old Li Ke also said that Miss asked him if he was hot for the first time, where did you say to find such a good city lord. If it had been the Earl of Gilles...... "Wech made a throat-slitting motion.

The young man looked in the direction of the earl's study, and from his vantage he could only see a wall, but Witch said in a daze, "Actually, it would be nice if she would beat me." At least if I've been beaten by her, she's good to everyone, and she won't know who I am, right? ”

Before he finished speaking, Bit had already slapped him on the head and said angrily: "Know a fart, control your mind well." It's just a matter of seeing the young lady go crazy once in a while, do you really want to eat swan meat with a toad? Stop dreaming. ”

Welch threw away the snow shovel and snorted, "You know a fart, it's called ambition." What is the difference between being a man without ambition and dying. Stupid bit, do you really want to be a human being for the rest of your life? ”

Bit muttered, "I want to be rich, but I have to have that life." ”

"Opportunities are earned by yourself!" Wick said with a look of fascination, "I heard of that Sir Allen, right?" He was originally just an obscure baron in the Frontierlands, but now? The others are not there, but they are already a viscount, and their territory is even larger than our Ark Harbor. What do people rely on, but they don't work hard. If I meet that sir, I will beg him to let me enter his army, and fight him for ten or eight years, and Lao Tzu will not believe that he will not be a general. ”

Bit sneered: "You don't pee like you look like you, still a general?" I'm afraid that your kid will be slaughtered the first time he goes to the battlefield, and besides, what can you do as a general, and when you mix up your personal appearance, Miss Jora will marry early. I've heard that Miss's fiancé is afraid that he will come to Ark Harbor in person in the next few days. You, this unrequited love myrrh saved Luo. ”

Welch sulked and turned to the other side of the clock tower to do his stuffy work in silence. A moment later he heard a loud voice, and then he shouted, "Weckie, come and see." I'm afraid it's Miss's fiancé who is here. ”

Wech circled around and looked out of the White Castle. Sure enough, a group of men and horses drove in the direction of the castle, and the group of men and horses erected the navy blue iron spear battle flag, which was the banner of the Marquis of Iron Spear, Hoy. Seeing this battle flag clearly, Wei Qi's face was bitter, and he silently went to work behind the tower. Bit sighed and said, "I'll take you to the night street to play in the evening." ”

"No, no."

Bit shrugged and went about his job.

Jola, dressed in fresh clothes, accompanied by the old butler, came to the gate of the White Castle. Behind her, there were only eighteen knights of the Deep Sea Scales, lined up on both sides. Mace looked at her expressionless hostess with a headache. He coughed dryly and said, "Miss, I heard that Huo Yi's son is naturally brave and funny, and Huo Yi likes it very much." ”

"It's not that I like him, tell me what to do." Ruo clenched his fists and said, "It's not a political marriage yet, my brother wants to rely on the Marquis of Iron Spear to consolidate the Ark Harbor." As long as I marry Hoy's son, before I die, an ambitious guy like Rykerd will probably only be able to achieve his goal through some dirty means, but he will not dare to blatantly use troops against Fang Zhou Harbor. In this way, even if the heir does not act, at least the Ark Harbor can survive for decades. ”

Jora bit her lip and said, "Don't worry, Steward Mace." No matter what, I'm going to marry myself. It doesn't matter if Huo Yi's son is a bastard, for the sake of the family, for the sake of Ark Harbor. I won't regret it, just ......"

She didn't say any more.

Mace sighed in his heart and said for her: I just want to see that person again before leaving, right?

The sound of horses' hooves is near.

A smile appeared on Ruola's face, and in an instant, it was like winter snow melting, and spring flowers blooming. But looking at that almost standard smile, Mace bowed his head deeply. Only he knew that Jora practiced smiling in the mirror every night. No matter how bright she smiles, she is always just a mirror.

Jora's heart was not happy at all.

Orlando gloated at the carriage, dressed in a light armor of iron spear and blue-gray, riding on a divine steed and a blue-feathered eagle helmet on his head. Holding the reins in one hand and holding the dark blue floating dragon spirit iron spear in the other, the standard iron spear guard elite riding configuration. If you don't know him, you'll only think of him as an ordinary knight of the Iron Lance, not the son of the Marquis of the Iron Lance, Hoy.

Sitting in the carriage now was the retinue of Marne, who had grown up together, and Orlando remembered the grief on the boy's face when he stuffed Marne into the car. Anyway, the sister of the Earl of the White Castle didn't know him, and Orlando made up his mind to let Marne deal with the titular fiancée instead of him.

He had never thought of marrying Jora.

It was just his father's own idea, and Orlando didn't agree with it. But if you don't agree, you don't agree, since you are born as the son of a marquis, you have to have the consciousness to make concessions and even sacrifices for the family, and Orlando still has this awareness. If he will marry, he will not think that he will give the other party a good look. This made the entourage pretend to be himself, just to give the fiancée a few colors. Orlando couldn't help but wonder how wonderful her expression was when Jora finally found out that Marne wasn't him.

Then he saw Jora.

The current hostess of the White Castle greeted her with a smile on her face, and as Orlando thought, she had no idea that she would disguise herself as an Iron Guard Knight and go straight to the carriage. The car stopped, Orlando looked serious, and lowered his head slightly, making a full appearance. The door of the carriage opened, and the young attendant disguised as Orlando came down with a sullen expression, and before getting out of the carriage, he glanced at Orlando, who squinted slightly, and Marne immediately raised his head and chest, and made himself a gentleman.

Orlando looked at it and smiled, this kid can't do anything else, pretending to be a ghost is really first-class.

But the next scene surprised Orlando.

The fiancée, who was secretly belittled by him in private, was obviously stunned when she saw Marne, and then looked forward to it. In the end, his eyes fell on Orlando, who secretly said that it was not good, and saw that the smile on the woman's face collapsed, and she sneered coldly: "The son of the dignified Marquis of the Iron Spear, is it funny to let someone else pretend to be it?" Or is it that Marquis Hoy looks down on us at all in Ark Harbor, in that case, Mr. Orlando, please go back! This marriage, Miss Ben is gone! ”

Ma was stunned on the spot, looked at the scene, looked back at Orlando and spread his hands. Orlando sighed, took off his helmet and said, "How did you recognize me, have you seen me?" ”

Jora sneered: "Of course not. It's just that the actor you invited was too suffocating and wanted to pretend to be a nobleman, but in just a few steps from getting off the car to stepping forward, he didn't know how many times he pinched the corners of his clothes, and he was obviously nervous. Not to mention, including him, the people in this team glance at you from time to time, and it is clear that you are the master of this team. Then I wonder how a knight of the Iron Guard could be qualified to do so, unless, he is Mr. Orlando himself. ”

Orlando applauded heartily: "Wonderful, before I came, I was thinking that Miss Jora was probably about the same as those clumsy and clumsy so-called famous ladies. But I didn't expect that Miss Jora was observant, but after a cursory glance, she could see so much. ”

"Then dare to ask Mr. Orlando what he means by doing this, whether he is qualified to be your bride, or whether he wants to humiliate my Ark Harbor. If it's the latter, I don't mind breaking with the Marquis of Iron Spear! ”

Mace looked at the two with a headache, the pair had just met for the first time and were so full of gunpowder, so how would they get along in the future? But then again, Orlando's approach was child's play, and she obviously didn't respect Ruora and Ark Harbor, so it's no wonder she's going to be furious.
