Chapter 571, New Home
PS: It's a little late today, the two updates yesterday were too hurtful, please forgive me.
The dark elves are standing pretty on the tall stairs. There are a row of maids on both sides of the second floor of the castle. Almost all of them are dressed in uniform black and white maid outfits, with white turbans on their heads. They are all between fifteen and ten years old. Eight years old, if Ryan guessed correctly, most of the maids here came in later, because almost all of them had new faces.
The maid team in Ryan Castle is basically changed every one or two years. Except for the dark elf as his personal maid and Sylvia as the head maid, basically all the maids can only work for two and a half years at most before they have to leave. This is the rule set by Suria. Of course, she told Ryan that if you like someone and want to stay, it is very simple, just let me know.
However, there is no shortage of women around Ryan, and even he himself was "arranged" at the turkey banquet. Ryan is busy with various affairs, and he has no interest in provoking these maids at this time. Instead, he wants to recommend himself On the pillow mat, there are quite a few maids who want to be courtiers for Ryan, but unfortunately none of them has fulfilled their wish from the beginning to the end.
Seeing the dark elf shouting to the master, a row of maids lowered their heads almost at the same time, raised their skirts, and saluted Ryan: "Welcome back ~ Your Excellency the Duke!"
The shouting was really not very neat, but Ryan still felt as if he had been in another world.
The maid uniform is uniformly white apron decorated with ruffles and a white-collared plain one-piece dress, as well as simple cotton socks and round-toed leather shoes (silk stockings are a luxury and a symbol of female nobility, so the maids naturally Rarely have a chance to wear it), seeing Ryan coming in, the maids all looked at the new duke, the future king, obviously, these maids must have various thoughts in their minds at this time.
"Master! You're back?" The dark elf was delighted with Ryan's appearance. Olika lifted her skirt and ran to Ryan in small steps. Today Olika is wearing a Britannia sweetheart strapped shoulder black and white maid The long skirt, the waist-deep black long hair is only restrained by a simple headscarf, the amber eyes are full of joy, the slender legs are wearing white suspender stockings, and a pair of black pointed-toe strappy high-heeled shoes, She ran up to Ryan with small steps: "I heard from Mr. Katzenberg that you won't arrive until the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, but I came back early." Ryan nodded with a smile. He took Orika's little hand and asked, "Where is Suria?"
"That's right, where is Suria?" Francois asked after him, the old man also missed his daughter.
"Ms. Suria is in the tower of the lady in the lake." Olika nodded, and the dark elf stood beside Ryan with some attachment, and whispered: "It has been more than eight months, and she is not very convenient to move. Master, do you want to go in and see her now?"
"Well, I'll go now." Ryan nodded, of course he wanted to see his wife and the child in Suria's womb immediately.
"Then please follow me." A strange light flashed in Olika's eyes, and the dark elf crossed her hands, signaling Ryan and Francois to follow her: "The castle has been newly repaired, and the entire structure and corridors have become different. Master, I will take you there."
After being repaired again by dwarf craftsmen, Ryan's castle is no longer what it used to be at this time. Luxurious and atmospheric decorations, all kinds of top decorations in the old world have restored Ryan's castle to a new look. In terms of architectural style, Dwarf's The practical style and the architectural style inherited from the elves in Britannia have been integrated and developed. Walking along the corridor, murals, various sculptures, oil paintings, and tapestries are filled with history, and many of the stories on the tapestries are about Ryan himself. great achievements.
"Ryan, I remember that when you first came to Brittania, the castle was a small castle with only three floors, more than 20 rooms, and you could see the end at a glance." Along the way, Franco Wa looked at Ryan's new castle, touched his beard and smiled: "But now, your castle has expanded more than five times than it was originally.
"
After refurbishment, Ryan's castle in Jin Town is now five stories high, with an independent inner castle, a secondary castle, and two towers. The city walls are now covered with various dwarf artillery. In addition, the lake The Fairy Tower and Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower are now "absorbed" into the castle by the new city walls.
"The newly built places include the Lion Tower, the Gray Knight Tower, three brand new courtyards, new stables, a new Griffin stable, and two new gardens, namely the Ladies Garden and the Suria Garden." Darkness The elf also introduced the newly built buildings in the castle: "As well as the François Promenade, the Ellipse Courtyard and the Landuin Garden, etc."
"Hahahaha, you even counted me in." The old man laughed loudly after hearing this, and shook his head: "This must be Su Liya's idea."
"That's right, this is Madam Suria's idea." The dark elf nodded, and she stretched out her little finger to point to a corner of the castle: "There is my own alchemy workshop, and I will also configure some alchemy workshops there." Potion, if you know how to cherish life, don't enter without my invitation, the consequences will be serious."
"What's it called there?" Ryan still had a smile on his face. The real strength of the Dark Elf was stronger than Teresa and Veronica combined. The potion she prepared might have a miraculous effect.
"It's called the Pale Garden."
The long wall of the fairy tower in the lake was covered with thick fog. After Ryan appeared, the thick fog dispersed automatically, making way for everyone to pass.
With excitement, Ryan quickly entered the tower of the fairy in the lake, pushed open the door of the room made of high-quality cherry wood, and looked for his wife: "Suria!"
"Ryan?! You're back?" Suria, who was already pregnant, was sitting on a soft bed and reading a book. Seeing Ryan approaching, the female knight's graceful and luxurious face burst into amazing brilliance. : "And father! Are you all back? I thought you wouldn't arrive until the day after tomorrow!"
Even though she was eight months pregnant, Suria's face was still full of amazing beauty, and her appearance and figure were not affected at all. On the contrary, the female knight's face was full of maternal brilliance. Her spirits improved when her husband came back: "That's great."
"I'm back early!" Ryan felt an unspeakable excitement when he saw Suria. He approached quickly and wanted to give his wife a hug very excitedly, but Ryan immediately denied his approach. I was so excited that I didn't know what to do. After thinking for a long time, Ryan could only hold Suria's hand and sit on the bedside: "Suria, you are now a duchess!"
"Hahaha~" The female knight smiled coquettishly, and at the same time blushed. It must be false to say that the female knight doesn't care about regaining Mousilon or becoming a duchess herself. In fact, she has been immersed in joy since she got the news from the fairy in the lake, but she obviously cares more about Ryan's safety. After all, both of them have a long life span, and the fairy in the lake even promised Suria a female knight Don't worry about the future, but Suria still doesn't want her child to lose her father before it's born.
Ryan is fine, which is more important to Suria than anything else. She put the book aside and stroked Ryan's face with her hand. Everything is important, nothing else is important, whether it is the duchess or the future queen, those are all secondary things, I just hope that you can come back safely."
Ryan was immediately moved. Thinking of the little life in the female knight's stomach, Ryan held Suria's hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely protect you and the child forever, no matter who wants to If I want to hurt you, I will protect you to the end!"
"I know, I believe in you too, my husband~" The female knight was very proud of Ryan's serious look, she leaned gently on Ryan's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Hey, hey, you guys, did you forget that I'm still here?" Francois stood aside and said with a smile, "I'm glad you guys have a good relationship, but please be careful!"
"Father!" Su Liya shouted shyly. The eight-month-old female knight was not active anymore, so she could only adjust her sitting posture: "Thank you, father, for your help in the war!"
"Hehehe, as long as you are fine." Francois also found a chair and sat down. The father-in-law asked with concern: "How is your health? Is there any problem with the child? Do you need it?" Should I send more people?"
Su Liya's face exuded the radiance of maternal love, she shook her head: "Nothing, my body is very good, except for some mobility problems, it basically has no impact on daily life."
"As for the child, this is a very lively child~" Su Liya gently touched her stomach.
Sure enough, as if there was a response, the fetus moved a few times in response. What is quite strange is that the child in the female knight's belly seemed to respond to things from the outside world. He would move a few times from time to time, especially It was after Ryan appeared that the fetus was even more restless.
Fortunately, Suria's physical fitness is amazing. The female knight not only received the blessing of the fairy in the lake, but also the emperor's blessing. Her physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people. No.
"That's good, that's good." Seeing his daughter's no pressure, Francois was sure. The father-in-law naturally loves his daughter very much, and this child is especially important to the alliance between the father-in-law and Ryan. Important: "If you have any questions, you must tell me, tell Ryan, and don't wrong yourself."
"Well, I see." The female knight nodded, her long golden curly hair fell like a waterfall, and her sea-blue eyes were full of happiness: "I'm fine, father, I'm very happy, really happy."
"Well, that's good." Francois thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Then will you feel lonely staying here alone?"
"No, the lady often comes to talk with me." Suria shook her head, the spirit of the female knight was very happy: "There are Sylvia and Olika here, especially Olika, she taught me a lot Things, I want to thank her, Sylvia will report everything about the territory to me, and Ms., she will nourish my body with divine power every day, and she will also play the piano and sing for me and the children. She said this is called Prenatal education? We will have afternoon tea together in the afternoon, and the lady will always tell me about Ryan's battle situation. With the lady's company, I really don't feel lonely at all."
"...You're welcome, ma'am, this is what I should do." The dark elf stood in the corner and nodded slightly.
"Oh, well, if that's the case, I don't have to worry about it." Francois said this, but felt a little strange in his heart.
Is the Lady of the Lake a little too spoiled for Surya?
So spoiled...it's not like the relationship between gods and believers anymore, it's more like...a pair of good sisters?
Normally, a Holy Grail Knight would have the opportunity to see the Fairy of the Lake several times in his life, but the number of times would never be too many. Even if he was favored by the goddess, it would be an unimaginable honor to see her more than a dozen times in a lifetime.
But this law does not hold for Su Liya at all. Listening to her daughter, the fairy in the lake and Suria seem to meet every day. They are like a pair of girlfriends, living together?
This situation is indescribably weird. François always feels that his daughter is excellent and beautiful, but there are many female nobles who can compare with Suria in the history of Britannia, such as the famous shepherdess, Hua Meisi, the Duke of Lyonnaise, is a mortal who is also favored by the goddess, but she has never seen the fairy of the lake so frequently!
Could it be because of Ryan? Francois then thought.
The Duke decided to stop when he thought of this. After all, as a devout believer of the Fairy of the Lake and a Grand Knight of the Holy Grail, Francois would never question the power of the Fairy of the Lake.
Forget it, this is also a good thing, the Duke immediately got out of the confusion, he thought it was a good thing for Surya, since his daughter is so favored, there is no need to worry about many things.
After talking to Suria a few words, Francois left, leaving time and space to the couple who were reunited.
However, before Ryan and Surya could speak, the golden light of gods lit up in the room.
"Lian, welcome back~" The fairy in the lake was wearing a shimmering chiffon pleated skirt with taupe-colored foundation and a set of platinum jewelry given to Suria by the emperor. Holding up, the beautiful and delicate face of the goddess appeared in front of the Ryan couple and the dark elf maid. Her long legs were wrapped in flesh-colored ultra-thin pantyhose, and a pair of small silky feet floated in the air. Holding the Holy Grail, the goddess appeared from the air gracefully and calmly, and descended in front of Ryan and Suria.
"Miss!"
"My lady!"
"Good afternoon, Surya, and Ryan." The fairy in the lake smiled sweetly.
"I have good news for you."
