The car had been driving for who knows how long, and Sophia was already a little sleepy in the back seat. Now the car was parked in a spectacular and open garden. The housekeeper came to open the door, bent down and made a "please" gesture. Sophia held the car door and got out of the car, and began to observe the ancient and majestic castle in front of her. I heard that it belonged to the royal family before. After the war in the last century, the castle was declared by the royal family to belong to the Smith family. The bushes in the garden have been planted without any clutter, and the streetlamps also emit gentle light.
''The young master is not here today. Ms. Sophia, please come in. Someone will take you to your room.'' The housekeeper's words interrupted Sophia, who was fascinated.
Sophia nodded and walked into the castle carrying the black leather box she carried with her.
The dark golden carved door slowly opened, and the crystal headlight above the head reflected a warm yellow beam of light, which really complemented the long invisible bottomless yellow, black and gold carpet on the ground. The small dark blue lights at the bottom of the surrounding walls also emit a unique light that belongs to the night. The maid led the way in a brown suit, with her golden curls all tied up, looking capable and sophisticated.
After twists and turns and going up two stairs, the maid took Sophia to a guest room. Although it is just a guest room, it is exquisitely decorated and everything is fully prepared. After the maid showed Sophia the location of the cloakroom, bathroom and related necessary items, she offered to help Sophia take a bath. Sophia placed the black leather suitcase on the small table next to the bed. When she heard that the maid wanted to help her bathe and change clothes, she immediately refused. Although her family is also wealthy, Sophia is not used to having others serve her. She is not used to this feeling.
"What's your name?" Sophia sat on the small sofa and looked at the maids in front of her.
The blonde in a brown suit stood at the front. She was the first to answer, ''You can call me Kate. I will be mainly responsible for everything you do in the castle, Sophia. These three are Anna, Anne and Anno. They will be in charge. Your daily life, etc. You can also give instructions to the three of them if you have anything to do.''
After saying that, the three brown-haired maids bowed to Sophia in unison, 'Hello, Ms. Sophia!"
''By the way, the young master doesn't like people making random noises in the castle, so Ms. Sophia, if you encounter trouble, please seek help from the housekeeper and us.'' Kate finished the reminder and prepared to exit the room. The three maids also followed her in an orderly manner.
''When will your young master come back? When can I see him?'' Sophia still asked this question.
"I don't know. Maybe the housekeeper knows. You will see the young master.'' Three sentences, a neat answer, a little bit cold.
Sophia was the only one left in the room, quietly, the wind outside the window was still raging on the branches, and the delicate leaves looked very helpless. Sophia stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside the window, the half-circled moon and the flickering distance. Sophia was still a little worried about her father, who was still in the hospital, and hoped that everything would be fine for him.
Will you be resentful? But I heard that this marriage was actually decided by my mother long ago.
Wouldn't you like it? Maybe. After all, she traveled to her country and studied wisely in order to be a free wind and an undefined cloud, instead of being imprisoned in this luxurious cage like a canary. She thought about escaping, but maybe this was her fate, this was the fate that belonged to her, Sophia.
It was useless to think too much. Sophia shook her head to get her thoughts back, turned around and put the black leather suitcase deep into the closet. All kinds of exquisite dresses and suits are already displayed in the wardrobe, with various styles and novel styles. Sophia didn't know who prepared this, but looking at the neat display, Sophia felt very grateful.
After briefly washing up, Sophia fell asleep. It's strange that when she came to this strange place for the first time, Sophia didn't feel stressed or insomnia, and just fell asleep smoothly. I had a dreamless night and was woken up by the sound of a squirrel by the window in the morning. She opened her eyes to welcome the beautiful warm morning sunshine. Standing by the window and stretching out, you can just see the entire garden. The servants were all wearing uniform gray suits, holding plates or related tools in their hands, and were working diligently and elderly at their posts. Everything is quiet! It seems that the second young master of the Smith family is indeed a quiet person. There are various seasonal flowers planted in the garden, and the gardeners take care of them with all their heart. Only then can such a colorful and beautiful scenery be presented to everyone.
Sophia opened the door, and Kate and Anne were already standing in front of the door. "You won't be waiting here for me for a long time, right?" Sophia was very surprised.
''This is our job, don't worry. Ms. Sophia, what would you like to eat for breakfast?"
"Maybe simple milk toast and eggs will do." Sophia still felt a little guilty in her heart.
The next breakfast was also an eye-opener for Sophia. The dining table is made of solid wood and is covered with pure white marble. Then add exquisite tablecloths, flowers and decorations, which really show luxury. Obviously, she only wanted simple milk and eggs, but Sophia was still a little shocked when she saw the beautiful dishes brought out one after another.
Kate introduced next to her, ''Ms. Sophia, the milk was produced just this morning by pure organic healthy cows raised on the Smith family farm. It is very fragrant the eggs are also sterile eggs from our own farm. The chef doesn't know what you like, so prepare it.'' There are boiled, fried, baked, and egg custard the wheat raw material for toast is also a product of our own farm. It is green and pollution-free. It has been manually polished and screened and tastes very delicate. In addition, it is different here. The fruit jam and fruits are also produced by us and are very safe.
Sophia tasted this simple and exquisite breakfast, feeling satisfied but still feeling guilty at the same time. Her educational experience made her dislike extravagance and waste. After all, there are still many people in the world who are still struggling to eat. While we were eating, the housekeeper slowly came over and said, ''Ms. Sophia, the young master, is back. Please come and drink coffee with us in the small living room on the second floor.''
Sophia looked up at the housekeeper and muttered in her heart, "Are we going to meet now?" The knife and fork in her hand became tight unconsciously.
On the way to the small living room on the second floor, Sophia's breathing speeded up unconsciously, and each step became heavier and heavier. Sophia hated herself for being so worthless. She didn't know why she was nervous, but her steps were indeed not steady enough. While thinking about it, I went to the small living room on the second floor. The moment the door opened, the bright sunshine outside the window and his figure came into Sophia's eyes.
