Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

The process of meeting the parents went very smoothly. In principle, the 50 people selected were all within the parents' expectations and would not cause any dissatisfaction. Moreover, Jiang Yu was very careful in making the selection, taking into account the needs of the parents and family, so the two elders were very satisfied.

The mother expressed some regret over the loss of candidate number 1, briefly mentioning that her daughter might not have many more opportunities to meet such an outstanding person in the future.

Of course, Jiang Yu made up some nice words to brush it off on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that he was more like a business partner than a husband.

The group didn't stay at their parents' house for long; a few days later, they were to leave for Hollandpur, where they would set up everything and prepare a grand wedding banquet, inviting relatives and friends from all three families to attend. In some ways, the format was quite similar to a modern wedding.

After that, they would begin to live independently, while the men would continue to go out to work and serve the empire.

Men who remain in their original empire will retain their original job functions and will receive one promotion opportunity. Men who join other empires due to marriage will need job recommendations and letters of introduction from their original empire, and will be re-evaluated and assigned new job positions by the new empire.

However, they are usually assigned to the same role as their partner and will be located near or within their partner's territory.

Since the territory had been applied for long ago, the family had already spent a fortune to build a magnificent castle residence, manor gardens, and servants had been dispatched to their posts.

Servants are also imperial positions, with the empire assigning a corresponding number of servants based on the strength and rank of each family. However, the social status of servants is relatively low, and the position is usually hereditary, meaning that the servant's descendants continue to hold the position. Nobles and commoners who commit crimes or are punished by the empire will also be demoted to servants. However, if a servant is favored by a noblewoman who is willing to become her partner, the empire will reassign her to a new job, preventing her descendants from continuing to be servants.

Female servants could also have five husbands, but it is conceivable that their husbands would not have a high social status. Once they gave birth to female offspring, if the father was a servant, the female offspring would become a maid just like the mother.

In addition to this hereditary system, commoner women could also apply to work as maids in noble households, which was a very good job opportunity for them.

Maids were so rare that only truly powerful families could afford them. Their usual function was simply to accompany and serve noble girls as they grew up and lived, and they were richly paid, receiving generous salaries from both the empire and their master's family.

The Jiang family only had two maids, one to accompany Jiang Yu's mother and the other to accompany Jiang Yu; they were also mother and daughter.

Jiang Yu's maid is named A Duo. She is an adult and has five husbands. Apart from one husband who is a sergeant in the Knights Legion stationed elsewhere, the other four husbands follow A Duo and serve the Jiang family.

This time, Ado and her four husbands were sent to Hollandpur early on to oversee all the servants sent down by the empire, so that everything could be arranged smoothly when Jiang Yu arrived with her husbands.

Ado greeted Jiang Yu and his party at the gate of the manor in Hollandpur, which continued the Jiang family's consistent grand and efficient style.

The gate is made of tall white marble, with a magnificent and imposing design, but without too many intricate carvings. The only decoration is the Jiang family crest, a trident symbolizing maritime power surrounded by waves.

The trident is the scepter and magical weapon of the King of the Seven Seas. All the family crests of the high-ranking military generals of the Ocean Empire must contain a trident, symbolizing that they and their families will always be the weapons of the empire. The totem of the Ocean Empire is the King of the Seven Seas with a human body and a fish tail holding a trident.

Currently, there is only a large Jiang family crest on the gate. Soon, the crests of the Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi families will be engraved on two of the five surrounding squares.

The marital bonds of the Empire are unbreakable; once chosen, they are inseparable for life.

Fan Qingyin comes from a priestly family, whose emblem is the Aurora Child praying with eyes closed; Lin Yi also comes from a military family in the Ocean Empire, whose emblem is a trident held up by an osprey.

The entire Hollandpur County is Jiang Yu's territory, and the manor is located in the center of the territory. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only the gate facing the land, like a platform extending from the land. There is also a dock on the side closer to the sea. A large area of ​​sea and the corresponding area of ​​land in this vicinity together constitute Jiang Yu's territory.

When Jiang Yu last visited, the castle had just been built, and the interior decoration and garden landscaping were not yet completed, so the visual impact was far less than this time.

She marveled at how magnificent and grand her future residence would be. If she had no past, she would probably be one of the happiest people in the world.

Ador led the masters on a detailed tour of the manor and castle, and placed a map of the manor and the entire Hollandbury County in the three masters' rooms so that they could consult it at any time before they were familiar with the area.

Aduo is a competent housekeeper. She manages everything in an orderly manner. Jiang Yu even finds the fresh flowers that have just been placed in the room so comforting.

Among the noble territories of the Ocean Empire, Jiang Yu's castle was not very large; the middle section had only three floors, and the tallest tower had no more than five floors.

Jiang Yu used to be very afraid of being alone and didn't like overly spacious and large building complexes. So her parents had to use the huge sums of money they had prepared to make the castle's decoration exquisite and magnificent, like a paradise in the clouds. The gardens of the manor were filled with rare flowers and trees from every corner of the world, as if only in this way could they be worthy of their daughter who was as radiant as the morning sun and as beautiful as peach blossoms.

Jiang Yu and his friends' rooms were all located on the second floor of the castle. Each room was like a presidential suite, including a living room, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and study. The bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows also connected to a huge terrace.

Jiang Yu's room has been furnished. It is a typical ocean-themed room in the Ocean Empire, with a lot of light blue gauze and pearl and seashell decorations. Whether it is the candlestick, the corner of the table or even the carvings on the glass vase, it is full of ocean style. The large bed in the middle of the bedroom, which is more than two meters wide, is also designed in the shape of a seashell. The whole room looks like the daughter of the sea's residence on land.

The two men's residences were much simpler, designed in a simple and elegant style, with basic furniture and decorations without any particular style. This was because they had only been selected a few days prior, and their belongings had just been delivered to Hollandpur by their respective families. It would take some time to create their own rooms, and the furniture would be gradually replaced until the rooms, which reflected the owners' distinctive styles, were fully completed.

The room's color scheme has already been changed. Lin Yi's room, needless to say, is now dominated by a distinct ocean theme. If Jiang Yu's room is blue and purple, his room is blue and white, giving it a more masculine and refreshing feel.

Fan Qingyin's room is predominantly white, with many delicate decorations that transform into intricate and gorgeous colors like rainbows and auroras under the light, which seems to match the snow-covered style of the Aurora Empire and fits the mystery and indifference of the Aurora Child.

As the first two chosen partners, their rooms were naturally located on either side of Jiang Yu's room.
