The main hall of Cavendish Manor was originally paved with gorgeous marble floors, the spiral staircase was magnificent, and both the glass skylight of the dome and the decorative Roman columns were impeccably exquisite.
But after a hearty battle between Peter, Harry, and Galen, in which the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, the house became dilapidated.
Even the oil paintings of the first Earl of Cavendish were eye-opening——
Deducted by Frey.
Tonight's banquet will be held at the manor. Guests will pass by the hall, so it must be properly repaired.
So Frey simply smashed both of the two stairs, which were mostly collapsed, but it couldn't be repaired anyway.
As for the ground, workers are throwing out all the upturned earth and broken bricks, planning to fill it with soil before laying the red carpet.
Seeing Peter coming over, Frey, who had been busy all morning, smiled:
"Mr. Peter, are you still used to sleeping in the castle bed?"
"Of course, in terms of enjoyment, it must be you nobles."
Frey looked at the new-looking Peter and marveled.
"I haven't seen it before, but your appearance is so outstanding and amazing...I'm afraid you will drive those ladies crazy tonight."
Peter was not a modest person, so he nodded immediately.
"Rick-smoking."
After he took off his cloak, his slightly curly black hair was exposed. Frey stared into his eyes and hesitated for a moment.
Black hair, black eyes...
"Master Peter, are you really a commoner?"
Peter didn't know why he asked this, but he still used the same rhetoric as before:
"I'm from the countryside of the Northern Continent. If there is any lack of etiquette at night, please bear with me."
"Ha, you are joking..."
After hearing about the Northern Continent, Frey suppressed the doubts in his heart. After all, there were also prominent bloodlines there.
Perhaps he is a descendant of some fallen noble.
"Lord Peter, Miss has something to discuss with you."
"Amamiya Yu? What's the matter?"
Peter was overjoyed. Could it be that there was something going on with Philip?
It's not in vain that I tried so hard to save you, it's so efficient!
Frey smiled and said: "Miss is in the birdcage. You will have to go and find out what happened."
"birdcage?"
"I'll show you the way."
After Frey briefly explained to the workers cleaning the hall, he took Peter towards the back of the manor.
The Cavendish Manor building is a "field"-shaped castle structure. The two walked from the hall through the long arched corridor and arrived at the central mansion.
The first and second floors of the mansion seem to have been completely opened up and used as banquet halls. The size of this banquet hall alone is already comparable to the small gymnasiums of some schools in Peter's hometown.
There are already a large number of maids busy in the banquet hall. After all, they have not been back for many years and many things need to be replaced.
But even if the objects were covered with dust, the luxury in the mansion once again refreshed Peter's perception along the way.
Corinthian colonnades, Baroque towers, and high raised triangular walls form a patchwork of building facade lines.
The staircase is hidden behind a gorgeous solid wood backdrop. Family oil paintings, plaster sculptures, tapestries and various decorative ornaments are displayed everywhere. Each piece is priceless or full of meaning. Long arched corridors extend from the main building to all directions. There are areas arranged in the castle structure in the east, west, south and north. Small gardens, carefully decorated oak groves, rose gardens, palace gardens and tropical botanical gardens are rigorously laid out and extremely grand.
After seeing Peter looking around, Frey smiled and introduced:
"Our Cavendish family has been engaged in maritime trade for generations, and we are considered the richest earl in Ron. This manor was the temporary residence of the late king when he came to Aknaits for vacation."
Frey was not a person who liked to brag, so he left half of his words unsaid.
After handling the arms trade in the Southern Continent, the young mistress of this mansion is already one of the richest people in the country.
Even compared to the Duke of the Royal Capital, he would not give in too much.
Passing through the back building of the mansion, we arrived at the rear of the manor.
Although the area of the back garden is huge, it is quite empty. It was originally supposed to be a lawn used for golf courses, but is now covered with white snow, and bare landscape trees stand around the manor.
But because it is located on the top of a mountain, as far as the eye can see is the vast sea, it does not seem lonely.
The most eye-catching place in the back garden is a long and narrow lake.
Frey led Peter to the thick ice of the lake.
"It has snowed heavily in the past two days and the lake has frozen, which saves the need for boating. There is a source of living water under the lake and there are many fish on the ice. If you are interested, you can come for winter fishing at any time. The bass in snowy days are the most plump. .”
"Old Frey, have you stayed here for many years?"
Seeing his nostalgic look, Peter felt a little curious.
"Ah..." Frey's tone was full of reminiscence, "My father used to be a gardener here, and I started working here when I was 16 years old. Before I knew it, more than seventy years had passed."
"Guigui, steward immortal."
Frey laughed heartily.
In the center of the lake, there is a small island.
"The lady is on the island, so I will send you here. I wish you a pleasant conversation with her."
Peter nodded, thanked the old housekeeper, and walked toward the island in the middle of the lake alone.
There is a circular glass building on the island in the center of the lake that occupies half of the island.
But because the island itself is not that big, this glass house is only the size of a slightly larger pavilion.
There is also a small wooden pier, but there is no boat dock.
Peter walked along the path to the door of the glass house.
I don't know if it's because of the improved attributes, but Peter now walks like a thief, making no sound.
Immediately, he saw a very interesting picture.
Inside the glass room, there is actually a garden of iris flowers.
I don’t know why, in the cold winter, these iris flowers are still blooming like a sea.
The girl was sitting on the swing under the big tree in the middle of this sea of purple flowers. Her little feet wrapped in white cotton socks took off her shoes, her knees were curled up, and the hem of her black dress was gently floating.
She was holding a panda doll that was washed a little white, with her face buried in the panda's belly, looking a little troubled, and tapping the panda's butt gently with her little fist.
Originally, Peter's first impression of Amamiya Xi was that she was a pretty elegant, quiet and beautiful woman, but she turned out to be sinister and frighteningly arrogant. He didn't expect that she still has such a girly side now.
The bright and clean eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.
"Ahem..."
Peter made a soft noise to alert her of his arrival.
When Yu Gongxi heard the noise, she immediately got off the swing and put on her shoes, her pretty face slightly red.
She straightened her hair in front of her forehead.
"I'm sorry... Mr. Peter, why didn't you knock on the door before coming in..."
Peter scratched his head.
"The glass is see-through, I thought you saw me."
The girl pouted, feeling a little embarrassed.
She sat at the small wooden table under the big tree, her tone a little helpless.
"Cole died this morning."
