Chapter Eleven Honorable Guests
The development trajectory of this world may not be exactly the same as the world I came from.
But according to Xie Sheng's gradually emerging memories, the baron in this world is also a stubborn royalist.
How could he allow his daughter to marry a pianist who had no foundation and was down and out?
If the history of the world is the same as before, the baron will have a son-in-law who is a prince in the future.
I just don’t know whether the older sister or younger sister will become the future princess.
It is very difficult for an innocent girl who is not deeply involved in the world to correctly understand the cold side of her father.
It is more practical to let time prove everything.
Xie Sheng didn't want to continue to dwell on this impossible thing: "Why don't I accompany you to see Payne, so that you can see those famous towers in your family."
Because of the "ancestral motto" of the Baron family, outsiders are not allowed to go to those towers.
The lessons for the young master and the young ladies are all completed in the small living room on the first floor.
Up to now, among the guests currently living in the castle, only two ladies, Mademoiselle Marie and Madame de Golf, sometimes visited the tower of the Baron and his wife.
Xiaodie shook her head: "That's not possible. If my father finds out, he will break your legs."
"Xiaodie, Xiaodie" At this time, Leah's shout came from outside.
"My sister is here. I have to get out of here quickly."
Xiaodie stood up and ran to the door.
Xie Sheng grabbed her and said, "We haven't held a farewell ceremony yet."
"What ceremony?"
"Hateful" After a minute, Xiaodie opened the door with a red face.
She looked at the corridors in front and behind, and saw that both sides were empty.
Xiaodie looked back at Xie Sheng and ran out.
When there was still an hour before lunch, a group of carriages and horses appeared outside the castle gate, surrounded by soldiers on tall horses.
Since the monster that hurt Master Payne appeared and the baron drove away Director Chandler, the castle has also strengthened its guards.
There are some special servants in the castle who were veterans of the baron's battles in the colonies.
When the baron left the army, he returned to the castle with some disabled veterans.
There were also some non-disabled veterans who came to the castle to join the baron one after another after retiring.
The Baron is a very nostalgic person, and every veteran who comes is properly arranged by the Baron.
These people usually work as carpenters, blacksmiths or grooms on the manor.
But as long as the baron needs them and gives them weapons, they will become the most capable soldiers.
Fifty retired veterans were armed by the baron and distributed throughout the castle and manor with guns and ammunition.
Xie Sheng estimated that only five veterans would be needed, enough to kill all the detectives Director Chandler brought here this morning.
Xie Sheng stood behind the curtain, looking at the knights' golden helmets and the red cherry blossoms on their armor.
"It's actually a royal guard. Could it be that the prince is among the distinguished guests today?"
Leading the team were the baron's good friend, Colonel Barrett of the Guards, and his wife Leslie.
Barrett personally led twenty Royal Guardsmen, who stood guard in front of and behind the entire team.
As we all know, every member of the Royal Guards is a knight who has experienced many battles.
On the tall horses in the middle, there are seven aristocratic young masters who, although they look completely different, their clothes and demeanor are almost the same.
According to the news we received before, there should be several noble ladies sitting in the three luxurious carriages following the seven handsome horses.
"Well" the blind date group specially arranged for the ladies and young master of Baron Huntingdon finally arrived.
In a small forest far away from Huntington Castle, Director Chandler looked at the horse team with a telescope in his hand.
A police officer next to him was taking notes with a pen.
"It was just a blind date party, but a Royal Guard actually appeared. Could it be that the royalists were going to hold some important meeting here? In order to ensure that the meeting went smoothly, the Baron tried his best to suppress the two servants.
I hope Xiao Wu can find out who is sitting in the three carriages as soon as possible!"
For several months, in the cabinet, the constitutionalists dominated by capitalists have been demanding that the king hand over more powers as soon as possible. The royalists supported by the nobles and landowners naturally opposed it strongly and did not respond tit for tat.
The nobles constantly blame themselves for giving too much power to the capitalists, which made them "get carried away"
Newspapers controlled by capitalists bluntly accused the king and nobles of being a group of worms who had made no contribution to the country.
While the bickering between the constitutionalists and the royalists in parliament became increasingly fierce, there were constant small moves behind the scenes.
Both sides are desperately trying to win over generals in the military and power departments.
Even Huntington Castle, far away from the Queen City and Crown Island, is starting to feel that tension.
The Baron was extremely demanding on time, so lunch started promptly at twelve o'clock noon.
Xie Sheng met the new guests.
Colonel Barrett is somewhat similar to the Baron in terms of momentum, but not completely similar.
The Baron is the kind of person who strategizes and is somewhat bookish.
Colonel Barrett has a stronger military aura and is more suitable for charging into battle.
Mrs. Barrett is a woman with outstanding appearance but cold temperament.
Compared to the graceful Baroness and the always-smiling Lady Golf, she gives people a cold and unapproachable look.
Some historical records came to Xie Sheng's mind.
Colonel Barrett of the Royal Guards is known as the last loyal dog of the royal family.
After the Baron's death, the royalists fell apart and lost all the land on the island in a very short period of time.
What followed was a three-year offensive and defensive battle for Crown Island.
Colonel Barrett led the remnants of the royalists to defend Crown Island desperately.
Every attack by the Constitutionalists was a disaster.
Faced with heavy casualties and elusive victory.
The most radical members of the constitutionalists had to agree to negotiate.
In the end, the constitutionalists accepted Barrett's conditions "with great humiliation".
The royal family was able to leave Crown Island as a royal reservation.
Until now, Crown Island is still a lawless place in Demon Ruins.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Barrett died in the final battle on Crown Island on the eve of signing.
Sitting at the same table as these influential figures who changed the history of Demon Ruins, Xie Sheng felt a little excited in his heart.
The most eye-catching people around the table at the moment are of course the seven aristocratic young men sitting upright and the three elegant and beautiful ladies.
Baron Huntington was famous, and no one would send a good-for-nothing dude here to be driven away in humiliation.
According to the prior requirements, the seven noble young masters were selected from the top thirty students of the Royal Military Academy.
If the young master couldn't even sit upright, this must be the only meal he had in this castle.
