Queen and Her Duke

After returning to the castle, Bessie and Namaner were still arranged to serve Wen Lin, but the residence was moved to the White House.

Just like last time, Visia hurried to the Council Hall after getting off the car. Mrs. Yaz asked something in a low voice, and brought Wen Lin into the White House.

Looking thoughtfully at the gilded gorse pattern and the banner of three lions on the door of the next room, Wen Lin couldn't help asking,

"Mrs. Yaz, excuse me, is there anyone living in the next room?

"Your Majesty Vicia lives here," she glanced at Wen Lin lightly, and Mrs. Yaz's eyes showed some deep meaning, and then said, "Miss Wen Lin, you can ask Bessie and Naman if you need anything. you."

A flash of surprise flashed across her face, Wen Lin nodded, opened the door and walked in.

It is more spacious and bright than the original residence, and the interior configuration is obviously more complete and expensive.

Cabinets carved with exquisite patterns, tables and chairs, bookshelves, thick carpets, velvet beds... There is also a terrace that can be used to enjoy the scenery.

Seeing that Wen Lin had no other requests or questions for the time being, Mrs. Yaz nodded slightly, bid farewell and left.

After she left, Bessie and Namer, who had been following respectfully behind her, began to show joyful emotions.

Bessie: "Miss Wen Lin, I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Namaner: "Miss Wen Lin, the hot water is ready, you can take a bath at any time."

It is rare that Namaner did not remind Bessie to pay attention to her behavior this time.

Wen Lin shrugged her shoulders mockingly, "I didn't expect that we could meet again so soon."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, but Wen Lin didn't notice the excitement in the smiles of Bessie and Namanel.

His Majesty would often come to this bedroom to rest in his spare time. It was more like His Majesty's private study, where she would read various books that had nothing to do with government affairs.

However, now that Wen Lin's residence has been arranged here, both Bessie and Namer have a strong intuition that Miss Wen Lin is likely to become His Majesty's next favorite.

This means that they can have more opportunities to be noticed by the nobles, which guarantees to a certain extent that they can get a job with good pay after leaving the palace.

Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, Wen Lin walked to the terrace, looking down, it was a carefully manicured garden.

Looking further away, Wen Lin found that this room was almost at the same level as the tallest spire of the castle, and could clearly overlook the structure of the entire royal court. At the same time, the dense tall trees on the side slopes could properly cover the eyes of others from peeping. line of sight.

Safe and private.

After confirming the surrounding situation, Wen Lin turned around and signaled Bessie and Namanel to lead the way to take a bath.

Relaxed from the tense state, fatigue suddenly surged up.

The bathroom is at the innermost side of the corridor. Hot water and a change of clothes are ready. When the door is opened, the hazy hot air bursts out.

Submerging herself in the hot water, Wen Lin sighed comfortably.

The bathroom is not very big, with a small piece of stained glass inlaid on one wall, the simple but elegant structure seems to be exactly the same as the bathroom in Hampton Palace.

Those charming blurred images suddenly appeared in her mind, and thinking of the new residence arranged by Vicia, Wen Lin's heart shuddered, and she immediately sped up the movements of her hands.

After washing herself quickly, she dried her body neatly, changed into her clothes, and Wen Lin walked out without hesitation.

Bessie and Namaner were waiting at the door. Seeing Wen Lin come out so quickly, they couldn't hide their surprise and asked, "Miss Wen Lin, have you finished washing? Do you need something else?"

As soon as she walked out, she felt a deep layer of coolness, and the heat on her skin dissipated. Wen Lin pretended to be calm and walked into the bedroom with her hands behind her back, "It's finished, I always take a shower very quickly."

Bessie and Namer looked at each other with obvious doubts. Miss Wen Lin didn't take a bath for such a short time before, did she?

But Wen Lin said so, and they didn't get entangled. Questioning customers is obviously not what a qualified maid should do.

After returning to the room, Bessie and Namaner looked at the tiredness on Wen Lin's face, and turned off the oil lamps in the room separately, leaving only one in front of the desk, and covered it with a warm yellow lampshade, the light Suddenly it became dark.

"Miss Wen Lin, we are retreating. If you need anything, you can find us in the small room next to the bathroom."

In the last time they got along, Bessie and Namaner had figured out that Wen Lin didn't like people keeping watch at night, let alone being served by someone while taking a bath.

"Good night, two beautiful ladies," Wen Lin sat on the newly made bed and thanked her as usual.

The door was gently closed.

Wen Lin relaxed, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window could be faintly heard in the quiet room.

The tiredness became more and more obvious, but Wen Lin's consciousness was extraordinarily clear, thinking of all the things that had happened between her and Vicia in the past few days, it was difficult to fall asleep.

In a daze, her eyes fell on the bookshelf, which was full of books.

Wen Lin walked over curiously, pulled out a book at random, and flipped through a few pages with a very unfamiliar text, with notes written in Golan next to it.

"Once people believe in some mysterious power that can bring prosperity or adversity, there will be worship in this world. This is the nature of human beings."*1

Wen Lin took out a few more books one after another, all of which were in different texts. Looking at the notes on them, Wen Lin found that the contents were also quite different.

It involves religion, clothing, customs and customs of other countries, and even a story about pirates.

On the last page of the book, Wen Lin found such a note,

"Piracy often means greed, plunder, death, but there are exceptions, and it may also represent freedom, indomitable ambition, and ambition."

Rubbing the ink with his hand, it is not difficult to see that it was written not long ago.

Turning around, Wen Lin looked around slowly

Walking through the entire room, she walked to the closet at a leisurely pace, opened it, and found luxurious and expensive clothes, including dresses for formal occasions and loose casual clothes.

After closing the cabinet door, Wen Lin pursed her lips.

All kinds of signs all show the traces left by another person.

It is rumored that His Majesty Vicia not only knows equestrianism, archery, falconry... but also masters multiple languages.

The answer seems self-evident.

The oil lamp was shaking, and Wen Lin seemed to see Vicia sitting in front of the desk in a trance, holding the quill pen with her slender fingers, writing these words with concentration and seriousness.

The closer you get, the more difficult it seems to be to be attracted.

The more patience, the more restraint, the more calm, the more that inexplicable emotion surges in the bottom of my heart.

Wen Lin's heart gradually accelerated, and for the first time, she clearly realized that she might not only admire Visia.

But what else?

Is it love?

As soon as this idea came up, Wen Lin ruthlessly denied it. Talking about illusory love with a monarch is no different from being slaughtered.

She must not put herself in such a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, familiar footsteps came from outside the door, and the light in Wen Lin's eyes flickered quietly.

She walked slowly to the door, put her hand against the door, and listened to the footsteps outside the door, the sound of conversation, the sound of the door closing...

Wen Lin thought that she would continue to fall into confusion, evasion, and entanglement, but unexpectedly, after the slightly dull sound of closing the door, her extraordinarily calm mind seemed to slowly gather back with the suddenly quiet air .

The relationship between her and Vicia originated from mutual use.

This is a close and firm relationship that is closely attached to interests.

They all know clearly that this boundary cannot be easily crossed.

Her thoughts froze for a few seconds, and Wen Lin suddenly thought of the promise Visia had made to her in Ampton Palace, that she would always bow her knees and never betray her.

And apart from the few moments of blurred and charming scenes in the bathroom, she and Visia have no other intimate entanglements.

It seemed that the dense fog that had been troubling Wen Lin was slowly being pushed away.

Her fingertips were slightly chilled by the wind, and the logic was clearly deduced in her mind.

The time, place, clear understanding of herself, and Visia's deliberate retaliatory actions all seemed to point to the fact that there was no real intimate entanglement between them.

As for the promise Visia said she made, Wen Lin suddenly laughed, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Using all available opportunities to achieve one's own goals is the way that Queen Visia behaves.

Brushing away the shattered hair hanging from her forehead, Wen Lin walked back to the bed in a leisurely manner, and sighed very lightly in the air.

A high wall once again stood invisible between her and Visia.

On the second day, Wen Lin was woken up early by the noise from the next door.

There was still a hazy sleepiness in his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes several times, but it didn't fade away.

The sunlight outside the window was thin, and the lush forest seemed to fall into the ink that had not yet fully melted, covered with a layer of darkness, and it should not have reached six o'clock.

Wen Linfu closed her eyes again. It was already midnight when Visia came back from the government hall last night, and she got up so early today, it seemed that some troublesome things had happened recently.

Several guesses flashed through her mind, and Wen Lin thought about it indiscriminately until Bessie and Namer came to knock on the door.

As before, wash up, eat breakfast, and then decide what to do for the rest of the day.

Wen Lin was in a very awkward position in the royal court. She didn't have a clear position and could only pretend to be an oriental guest.

And Weisia is often invisible because of government affairs, and at the same time, in order to avoid taboos, Wen Lin will not take the initiative to find her.

This is not a long-term solution.

Wen Lin thought about it. According to the current situation, she will stay in Bruns for a long time. She can't be so passive all the time. A fixed territory and reliable people are essential.

She decided to find some time to talk to Visia about this matter, after all, it shouldn't be difficult to exchange a few pieces of land on the outskirts of the capital with the confiscated ship of gold.

Inevitably, Wen Lin thought about the matter of Yinhe Village.

The sanitation awareness and hygiene situation in the countryside is not optimistic. Although this is a very common phenomenon on the Europa Road, and Wen Lin was mentally prepared for it, she was still shocked after seeing it with her own eyes last night.

After owning the territory, this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Looking at the wine on the table, Wen Lin slowly raised her eyebrows. She reached for the jug, opened the lid and took a sniff.

The existence of spirits means that distillation technology has appeared, and there is a high possibility of producing alcohol.

Wen Lin once saw a witch doctor in a remote ethnic minority tribe in China make a simple distillation tool with a well-airtight pottery container and a semi-closed earthen hearth.

And through the accumulation of many times of practice, the concentration of alcohol is successfully controlled within the range of effective sterilization.

If alcohol can be made in this era, it can be used not only for medical treatment of traumatic sepsis, but also for disinfection and sterilization in daily hygiene.

In the long run, it is a good thing that benefits oneself and others.

The author has something to say: Tuiji Youwen "After receiving the invitation letter for horror, I am bound to the goddess" by Jiang Han

Another: Don’t try to purify alcohol by yourself, it’s not that easy, and it’s easy to cause safety accidents. The novel and the third time must be separated.

If there is no one at 11:30 in the next update, there will be. I have to study how to mess with alcohol~ It may be too late

Originally promised to update today, let’s make it up tomorrow ~ Bow, the update time after that is fixed

[-] o'clock in the afternoon~
