A month later, Arthur and Jabi got on the train to London. It was just a short journey, but Jabi seemed extremely excited.
They had booked a first-class private room, and the luxurious furnishings inside would give guests a feeling of great value for money.
Jabi has a new look today. Of course, he has always been very well-dressed, but today he is even more showy.
A brand-new top hat, a dress from Lorenzo's high-end tailor shop, a pair of leather shoes that can be used as a mirror, and his handsome face, all the women along the way couldn't help but turn to him. The ground gave me a wink.
This eye-catching behavior made Arthur feel uncomfortable, but it only increased Jabi's desire to perform.
"Hey! You have to relax, that's the best way to show off your charm."
Jabi also wants to teach Arthur how to grandstand.
"I thank you, but I don't want to show my charm everywhere, and I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't you see the way those men look at you?"
"Haha! This is actually my purpose. Handsome guys should attract attention."
Arthur couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Jabi, if you keep doing this, believe me, you will definitely get a good beating."
This is Arthur's first time taking a train in this world, and the experience can be said to be very poor.
Even though they were traveling in a first-class carriage, the strong inertia when starting and the screeching sound of the track when braking would make Arthur feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The train whistle sounded as it entered the station.
"Gentlemen, we have arrived in London. Do you two want to get off here?"
Arthur took out a shilling and gave it to the waiter as a tip.
"Thank God it's finally here."
This was the first time that Jabi saw Arthur in such a state of embarrassment. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I think you should take the train more times. You must know that it is the fastest tool to connect the world."
Arthur straightened his dress, picked up his cane, and walked out while saying, "Believe me, it won't be long before faster means of transportation will appear. Also, where will we live today?"
Jabi took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. "Baron Locke invited us to be guests at his manor."
"Can I not go?"
Arthur didn't like this kind of strange visit very much, especially these nobles who always paid attention to things that he was not interested in. Now he just wanted to find a hotel and sleep comfortably.
"Don't be like this Arthur, I have already promised the other party, and aren't you going to Scotland Yard? It is very close to his manor."
Baron Locke's manor was built in Notting Hill in the West End of London. It was originally a garden, but after Queen Victoria came to the throne, it has now been developed into a place where princes and nobles kept their lovers.
Baron Locke's manor was built very luxuriously, but in Arthur's eyes, it had no connotation at all. It was like a dancing girl. Although it was beautifully dressed, it always gave people a cheap feeling.
But Jabi clearly likes this style, "I should have come here earlier. London is indeed the capital of fashion."
Arthur couldn't help curling his lips. He didn't think that the old-fashioned British knew anything about fashion.
"You are right, young Lord Fraser, if you like, you can buy one here too."
Baron Locke saw them and greeted them. He was short, a little fat, about forty years old, and wore a standard aristocratic mustache.
Standing next to him was a young and beautiful girl, and Arthur immediately understood Baron Locke's intention of inviting Jabi to be his guest.
Sure enough, after the two came forward to greet each other, Baron Locke introduced his daughter Nancy to Jabi.
When Nancy saw Jabi for the first time, she was immediately fascinated by him. If this can be regarded as a special ability, there is no doubt that Jabi has it full.
The hall has already gathered guests. All the men here are very well-dressed, and there are a few of them in military uniforms, who also look very heroic. It is obvious at a glance that almost all of the people here today are aristocratic children.
Correspondingly, there were a group of aristocratic ladies in costumes. This scene was like a blind date party.
They were like country bumpkins, they had never seen anything like this before.
Jabi was a little better and quickly adapted to such an occasion, but Arthur really regretted coming here now. He felt like his social phobia was about to break out.
Jabi took a glass of champagne and handed it to Arthur, "Relax brother, don't always keep a straight face, you won't please girls."
He is quite at home here. Even among the many handsome guys, he is almost the most handsome one.
Now it was time to dance. Feeling those warm eyes, Arthur pushed Jabi and said, "Go and play! Standing next to me will make me feel uncomfortable."
Jabi smiled and shrugged his shoulders, then ran towards the target he had already spotted.
Arthur took the wine glass and sat on the chair in the last row.
"Mr. Doyle, why don't you go dancing?"
The noisy hall seemed to make Arthur lose his ability to observe. When he heard someone talking to him, he quickly turned his head.
There is already a group of people sitting here, but they are all relatively older, and they are obviously the parents of the young men and young ladies on the dance floor.
The person talking to him was Baron Locke. Arthur apologized quickly: "I am here, am I disturbing you?"
Locke smiled and waved his hand, "No, I'm just weird."
"Oh! You mean dancing? I'm really not very good at this."
"Haha! You may have spent all your time on research, but if you ask me, young people should learn to show themselves."
Arthur smiled, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just when he was at a loss, a beautiful woman came in with a pair of daughters. When she saw Arthur, she shouted in surprise: "Arthur, why are you here?"
Arthur stood up hurriedly when he saw the woman, "Aunt Milissa, I didn't expect to see you here. My friend Jabi and I were invited by Lord Locke to come together."
"Is it the recent heir to the Fraser family?"
Unexpectedly, news about Jabi's inheritance reached London.
After Arthur confirmed, Milissa immediately pulled him aside.
Arthur also greeted his aunt's two daughters at this time: "Olivia and Elizabeth, long time no see."
Olivia is three years older than Arthur, and the sisters lived with Arthur for a time when they were children.
At that time, his cousin Olivia, who was older than him, was almost the girl of his dreams. When he saw her today, he felt like his heartbeat was uncontrollable.
