The Sin of Ludwigs

There are two masters of this generation of the Haggs family, Ian William Haggs and Elvis William Higgs, the most important thing is that Elvis William Higgs is the twin brother.

Old David says Elvis William Haggs is not the same as Ian William Haggs, the tormenting madman, does that mean that if Elvis William Haggs knew Will what I have endured stop his brother from doing this crazy thing?After all, turning a nobleman into a slave was simply because the other party broke into his territory without permission when he had nowhere to go. Once such appalling things got out, the reputation of the Higgs family would definitely be ruined.

I no longer dare to expect to be treated as an aristocrat, and now I just want to run away from this lunatic Ian William Higgs, and no matter what price I have to pay for it, I will sacrifice all my wealth to me Also willingly.

Ian William Higgs didn't show up for days.

It is said that there were sightings of bears in the forest to the north, and they also attacked people and animals. This is a rare situation for Kollak Manor. When the earl heard the news, he took his Musketeers and some attendants and set out to find them. The brown bear went.

The existence of the Earl has always been like a shadow on my heart. Knowing that he has left the Kollak Manor, I am like a prisoner who has been given a chance to let go. Although there are still his attendants in the manor, I feel relaxed .

When the wound was healed enough to be able to move, I couldn't wait to go to Butler David, and asked him to arrange for me to follow the foreman and slaves to build aqueducts, or to patrol the forest with the forest ranger. The farther away from Ern Haggs' estate the better!

Old David obviously worried more.

"The work the slaves do is very heavy, your body may not be able to adapt, and if the Earl suddenly wants to see you after he comes back, then..."

I could understand what he didn't say, and I shuddered at the thought that Ian Heggs might use this as an excuse to torture me again.

In the end old Davy put me in charge of cleaning eleven specific rooms in the right wing of the manor.

"This part of the room is prepared for the arrival of Lord Elvis. That adult has only been here once, so you don't really have much work to do. It is also far away from the master's living room, and the master usually doesn't will go there."

This part of the room includes two living rooms connected by a small door, two reception rooms, one large and one small, a private prayer room, a study room separated from the inside and outside, a dining room, and a living room with a A mirrored dressing room on the ground, a studio with only a few landscape paintings hanging in it; a collection room with woodcuts by Clodion, ceramics by Partito and engravings by Dürer; But there's nothing inside; there's even a dressing room for women's morning dressing - though it's obviously been unused for a long time, except for a huge carved fireplace, a dressing table with its corresponding snailed There was not even a trace of makeup on the footstool.

Although in name I have to be responsible for the cleaning of so many rooms, in fact there are two maids and two male servants who are responsible for their daily work, and all I have to do is to urge them not to clean the rooms because Earl Elvis basically doesn't care about them. Come here and be lazy and miss some small details.

In order to avoid some people around the earl staring intently, Old David asked me to get up at five o'clock every day like the servants-although it is thousands of miles away from my home in Europe, the official time for the nobles to wake up is the same at eleven o'clock After 10:30, the servants whose only task is to accompany the earl to play will appear around [-]:[-]-supervising the servants will clean the room, wipe the porcelain, remove the curtains that need to be cleaned regularly, and so on.In this way, the time between the two parties will be staggered. Even if someone wants to find fault, old David can prove that he did not violate the earl's order by "he worked with the slaves". After all, no nobleman has ever heard of it If you still need to work, you still need to get up at five in the morning!

Soon, old David found another wonderful job - he asked me to organize the books in Earl Elvis's study room. Before that, almost no one in the manor could understand the words on the book covers. The basic thing that can be done is to arrange them according to the thickness.

It was a job in heaven!

Earl Elvis's study has two full shelves of books, mostly in French and English, in addition to Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, the thickest one can be used as a pillow.

Books in French and English are mostly travel notes and aristocratic genealogy. In addition, there are some newspapers and periodicals, which are basically dated within the past one or two years. I guess they are purchased in multiple copies, and then place a copy in each manor where the lord may go. Of course, newspapers in places far away from the main manor, such as Kollek, are slower to update, and the latest one is more than a month ago.

While I was hiding in Lord Elvis's study, immersing myself in the French books that used to give me a headache, and occasionally teasing Anne, the prettiest of the maids, for a little pathetic joy, the pouring rain even It took a long time, and it is said that it hindered the plan of the bear hunting team to return, but they stopped at a villa on the edge of the forest and had fun for several days.

The maids in Kolek Manor began to secretly discuss that the heavy rain might allow the earl to stay in Kolek, and the last time Kolek had a master staying for a long time was many years ago when the previous earl was still alive.

In all fairness, these poor girls were born in a remote place since they were sensible, never seen the ostentation of a real nobleman, and did not have enough money to dress themselves up, so that when the count's glamorous female attendants appeared, these poor girls The girl's beauty was dimmed like little fireflies around the sun.

And women never admit defeat when it comes to beauty comparisons. While looking at those dazzling female servants with envious eyes, they secretly compare themselves with them, and come to the conclusion that except Beatrix In addition to being indisputable, the most beautiful girls in Kolek Manor are actually not inferior to those domineering female servants. All they lack are exquisite costumes and a hair stylist who can turn decay into magic.

Anne is the one who compares most vigorously and turns this comparison into action. This girl's ambition is obvious. I once caught her practicing imitating the subtle accent of a female servant in a deserted place. And the tone of speech, and after discovering me, not only did she not flee in shame, but after repeating it with another imitation object, she said to me: "Do you think the Earl prefers the way of speaking the first time, or the second way?" the second time?"

Probably out of a subtle mentality of "same hatred and hatred", Anne regarded me as a guide in her plan who could guide her across the invisible gap between her and the female servants, and she was right. Man, for a playboy who has seen all kinds of beautiful women, it is not difficult to cut a dazzling diamond from an unremarkable rough stone as long as he finds the right method.

The only problem is Anne's parentage - she is half English and Scottish, and her father was sold into slavery for theft, and I think this immutable fact is likely to make all her efforts unsatisfactory.

"The earl seems to dislike England very much. Otherwise, I should be staying in New Jersey instead of here. If he knows that you are of English descent, there is no hope."

Anne is full of confidence in this.

"I don't know if the earl hates England, but he certainly doesn't hate beautiful women in England. Do you know Christine?"

Of course I know, it is the third-class maid who once left me in the cold wind, the earl did not take her with him when he went hunting this time, and her existence is also the reason why old David tried every means to arrange me in the room of Earl Elvis on the right wing One of the reasons - this is probably the only place the gang can't just come to.

"She is from England, and she came with the cruise ship that sent the bride."

This news really took me by surprise.

"God! Is she a Europa bride?"

Seeing me so surprised, Anne smiled as happily as if she had successfully defeated my king in a game of chess.

"I knew you definitely didn't know this. I only found out about it when I asked those junior attendants, and it is said that the cruise ship will come again soon, and there will be a second Europa bride from England coming to the Earl. So I say, the earl certainly doesn't hate beautiful women in England, and besides, my ancestors are half Spanish."

"Well, from this point of view, the Earl should only hate men related to England."

Grinding my teeth, I silently expressed my deep sympathy for the English lady who was said to be traveling across the ocean to come to the Earl.

It must be explained here that the so-called postal brides are definitely not human trafficking. If anyone thinks that Europa brides are as low-status as those slaves who were abducted and sold, then he is very wrong.

In fact, the emergence of the Bride of Europa has a lot to do with the communication between the old and new continents.Over the years, the number of people who came to the New World from the Old Continent has always been more men than women. After several generations, the big nobles are okay. They can marry the noble women of the Old Continent by virtue of their family origins in the Old Continent, but the newly emerging small Noble and non-aristocratic manor owners were embarrassed to find that the New World did not have a sufficient number of ladies who matched their identities and had good lady education and religious education for them to choose from. It was pushed very late; in contrast, in the Old Continent, especially in England, there were many middle and lower-class aristocratic women who were trained as qualified ladies, but they could not find a gentleman with a matching status to marry because they did not have enough dowry.

In this case, the "bridal post" with the cruise company as a guarantee appeared, and the little nobles in the New World who wanted to marry a lady who fit their status paid a considerable sum of pounds to the cruise company. Their own financial resources are also used to pay for all the expenses of the bride during the voyage, including clothing, gloves, umbrellas, maid fees, etc.; and the cruise company, after receiving a sufficient number of applications, solicits ladies from the old continent to go to the new continent voluntarily. , and these ladies were also required to produce a letter of certification written by a qualified recommender, proving that they were born innocent, and were not forced to go abroad because of religious or character flaws, but embarked on the opening journey with pious beliefs. Cruises to the New World.

These old continent ladies who go to other places to get married are called "Europa brides"; and this special delivery is also called "bridal mail". Her husband picked her up, and she would never appear in Earl Heggs' manor as a guest, but in fact... the New World is so big, who knows what God will arrange!

It is precisely because of the existence of this special mail that the famous words of the nobility of the old continent when they despise the nouveau riche of the new continent:

"There isn't even a real lady there, so much so that they ask Europa for a bride of pure blood!"
