When they saw that it was an ordinary carriage, their flattering eyes immediately turned into contempt, and then they sat back in their own seats, wanting to continue playing cards.

"Guards, didn't you see someone coming?"

If it weren't for Sieg being right next to her, Natal really wanted to swear and let these guards learn the eighth-level Zaun ventriloquism of her royal maid.

Unfortunately, she had to maintain her ladylike image.

"I saw it, who are you?"

The young guard asked with a smile, because the other party was a lady, so he responded.

"I am Natal, the head maid of Her Royal Highness, and you don't recognize me?"

Natal's eyes widened and she stuck her head out of the window.

The guards were stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up from their chairs, stood up straight, and looked at Natal blankly like puppets,

"Welcome, Ms. Natal."

"Open the door, we want to go in."

Natal ordered.

The guards opened the iron gate and let the carriage go in.

Chapter 133, Reindeer Manor

The carriage entered the reindeer manor, and Frieda couldn't wait to get off the carriage. With the help of the maid Natal, her feet stepped on the thick mud. The snow on the road had been cleared.

The air here is fresh, and even Locke, who has always been picky about smell, feels very comfortable. Except for the smell of horse manure from afar and the smell of dry tobacco smoked by the guard at the door, everything else is acceptable.

The smell of soil and grass is very light. The garden in front of the manor is full of winter hyacinths, which have a strong fragrance.

This kind of winter hyacinth looks very much like hyacinths. The petals have their own fragrance. It is one of the main sources of body fragrance for Koselke aromatherapy masters. It only blooms in winter and is light pink in color.

At the end of the winter hyacinths are two rows of tall ornamental banyan trees. In Locke's opinion, these trees are not as practical as planting fruit trees.

Behind the ornamental banyan trees is the tall and majestic manor castle. The area of ​​this castle is only one-third of the princess castle in the Queen's District, but it is also magnificent enough.

The top of the castle is covered with a layer of silvery white snow, which looks like a fairy tale coming to reality.

The main building of the castle, plus the attic, has a total of five floors, consisting of the main building and two auxiliary buildings. There is also an independent bell tower on the right side of the auxiliary building. There is also a stable not far away, and the smell of horse manure comes from here.

"Locke, how is it? Do you like it here?"

Frieda said proudly, "This manor was given to me by Duke Fruhl when I was 7 years old. It will be yours in the future."

"Praise your generosity."

Locke bowed slightly and accepted the manor with a smile.

Consider turning this place into a shelter before the war begins.

Although the winter hyacinths in the flower field are beautiful and fragrant, they have no practical use. It is best to grow them into vegetables and transplant the trees into fruit trees. Maybe I really need to use Robson's weird thing that seems to have no use-the flute of life, so that these crops can be ripened faster.

Locke, who already wants to become a farmer, squatted down, picked up a handful of soil and smelled it, and carefully checked the soil. It turned out to be a rare black soil.

"What are you doing?"

Frieda asked in confusion, "You don't want to eat dirt, do you?"

"No, Princess, I just want to grow some vegetables here."

Locke said honestly.

Frieda immediately covered her stomach and laughed, "Look, this country bumpkin, he just gave him a manor, and he wanted to grow crops."

"Princess, pay attention to your ladylike image."

Natal reminded.

Frieda wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Hahaha, it's really funny, I have never seen a noble grow vegetables in his own manor, it's not decent at all, too country."

"Ahem, Princess, aren't you going hunting?"

Locke asked.

Frieda nodded,

"Yes, we are going to hunt in the mountains. I heard that when it snows in winter, white deer will appear. We are going to catch it today."

Frieda clenched her fists excitedly, forgetting about the country bumpkin's desire to grow crops.

The servants found someone visiting and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

The butler, who was about 46 years old and wearing a tuxedo and a tall hat, came forward with two older maids and saluted Princess Frieda.

"Your Highness, if we had known you were coming, we would have made arrangements in advance."

"No need to bother, we came quietly and couldn't tell Her Majesty the Queen."

Frieda lifted her skirt and ran towards the manor.

The maid Natal followed her, reminding her to slow down while telling the butler,

"Your Highness, please slow down and wait for me."

"This is Locke Bemon, who found the sheriff of Suade II for the princess. The princess admired him very much and gave him the manor. He will be the new owner of the manor in the future. You will listen to him in the future. Oh, these people are Locke Bemon's colleagues, they are all sheriffs."

"Hurry up."

Frieda was like a canary out of a cage, with light steps.

The butler and the maids were slightly stunned, and soon, worried expressions appeared on their faces.

Princess Frieda is willful, but she is a princess, and the salaries of all these people come from her. Now she is giving away the manor, and she is giving it to an ordinary sheriff who doesn't look very rich? Is this a joke?

Are all of them going to lose their jobs?

The butler Monte and the eldest maids Olenna and Weier, plus 1 taster maid, 1 fitting maid, 2 starch maids, 2 kitchen maids, 4 chore maids, and 2 chefs, 3 A horse breeder, three gardeners, and 50 guards, aren't they all going to lose their jobs?

Monte was in a low mood, but he still had to receive them well.

I only hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess is acting on a whim and will change her tune soon.

"Mr. Bemon, do you want to go hunting with Her Royal Highness the Princess, or should I show you around the manor?"

Monte asked.

Locke looked at Sigurd, Robson, Angela, and Dimo.

"We must be going hunting with you. What is there to see in the manor?"

Angela said with a smile.

It's not that she has never seen the luxury of the upper class. The configuration of this manor seems to her to be frugal.

Sigurd also expressed that he was going hunting.

Di Mo shrugged, "I want to protect Angela."

"I'll stay here."

Robson did not like the cruel activity of hunting, even though his hands were already stained with blood.

So Locke and Robson went to visit the manor under the leadership of the butler Monte.

During the visit, the old housekeeper also gave an overview of the personnel here.

Locke calculated the expenses of this group of people in his mind.

The maid Olenna is in charge of the purchasing work of the entire manor, which is similar to purchasing. Her weekly salary is about 1,000 meters.

Another older maid, Wei Er, is responsible for the scheduling of all servants, similar to personnel matters. She and Olenna are also classified as senior maids, and their weekly salary is also 1,000 meters.

There are ten other young maids in total.

Courtney is in charge of tasting food, and Laetia is in charge of fitting clothes. Their salary is equivalent to that of a maid, with a weekly salary of 600 meters.

Vivas and Janey are laundry maids, responsible for sewing, washing clothes, cleaning sheets and other tasks. Their status is relatively low, with a weekly salary of about 500 meters.

Lisa and Gemma are responsible for helping in the kitchen, and their weekly salary is the same as that of the washing maid, which is 500 meters.

There are also four maids who work as maids, with a weekly salary of 300 meters.

The weekly salary of chefs Andre and Marceau is around 800 meters.

The three grooms are responsible for feeding, raising and training horses. Although their work is inconspicuous, people who know how to raise horses are very popular in Kosolk. Their weekly salary is not lower than that of a maid, which is about 1,000 meters.

The weekly salary of the three gardeners should be the same as that of the chef, 800 meters each.

The weekly salary of Barr, the captain of the guard, is 1,000 meters, and the weekly salary of the 49 guards is 500 meters.

In addition, the salary of the old housekeeper should be around 3,000 mk.

Calculated in this way, the fixed weekly salary of the servants in the manor is as high as 41,900 gold grams, which is equivalent to 4.19 gold grams, so calculated in a month, it is 16.76 gold grams.

This does not include the food and drink that so many people eat and drink every day.

The expense of a manor is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford, and I don't know how those down-and-out nobles can persist.

Locke began to have a headache. His salary was not enough to cover the expenses of so many people. It seemed that he could only lay off employees ruthlessly.

The few lazy guards at the door should not be wanted in the first place.

Being so lazy, you don't even know when danger is coming.

Locke decided to go back to discuss with Irene. She had always wanted a manor before. Now that her wish came true, she had to pay something, right?

At this time, Princess Frieda had taken off her palace dress with complicated patterns, put on trousers and shirt, a vest, vest and animal skin jacket. She also put on hunting equipment. Her long silver hair was combed into a high ponytail. Look. It looks heroic and very eye-catching.

She was riding on a high-quality red date horse, looking at everyone happily, and suddenly frowned,

"Where's Locke?"

"The butler took him to visit. Didn't you say that the manor should be given to him?"

The eldest maid Natal also changed into pants and said with a smile.

"I want to give it to him, but it's not without conditions. He must catch the white deer for me. Go and call someone."

Princess Frieda waved her whip angrily, and the brown horse galloped away, circling in the ring.

Natal immediately asked someone to call Locke and told Locke what happened here.

Locke could only leave Robson to visit alone and rushed to the side of Princess Frieda.

"You should have told me earlier that I need to catch a white deer for you. What if there is no white deer on this mountain?"

Locke asked.

"It's impossible not to have it. If not, the manor is still mine."

Frieda raised her chin and looked at Locke condescendingly, "Quickly choose a horse to accompany me up the mountain."

"Locke, let's go and have some fun. I'll help you."

Angela blinked.

She could see that the poor Locke liked this manor very much and had already begun to think about growing vegetables here.

Locke sighed and went to the stable to pick a black horse. With the help of the groom Herbert, he got on the horse with difficulty.

He had never learned to ride a horse. If he hadn't had very good balance, he might have fallen off the horse immediately.

"Actually, I can't ride a horse. Is there any quick fix?"

Locke asked the groom Herbert. Herbert looked at Locke in surprise and realized that the other man was not joking, and then said,

"If you don't know how to ride a horse, I suggest you choose a docile horse and don't go hunting. This will kill you. There is no quick fix for riding a horse."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, but Her Royal Highness the Princess requires me to accompany her to hunt in the mountains, and I have no choice. Is this horse docile?"

Locke asked.

"It's called Lie Yan, and it has a very bad temper. Although it is top-notch in terms of speed and strength, it is definitely not suitable for beginners."

The groom Herbert said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't want Her Royal Highness's guest to die because of falling from his horse, so he might be fired.

When Locke heard that the horse had a bad temper, he immediately jumped off the horse in a hurry. As a beginner, he was not the kind of person to be ambitious.

Herbert re-selected a docile but slow black-tailed horse for Locke.

"Mr. Bemon, when you get on the horse, don't put your feet too deep into the stirrups. Although it is more stable, if you fall off the horse, it will easily cause the stirrups to not come off and be dragged away by the horse. Believe me, this will cause you absolutely don't want to The tragedy that happened.”

Herbert reminded.
