Baron York and his party did not stay at Mr. Jacques's residence, but quickly left the residence.

Mr. Jacques still led the baron and his entourage to the door solemnly.

"I will stay here for a few days." Before leaving, Baron York looked at Mr. Jacques with deep meaning and said: "Although the royal documents are urgent, considering the actual distance, it is impossible to get them all at once.

I will take it to [Chinon]...So, please consider my suggestion carefully."

"Lord Baron, you can enjoy the tranquility here for the next few days." Mr. Jacques responded with a smile: "You will like the simplicity here."

As for what the two men finally talked about in the reception room, the servants had no way of knowing... but it seemed like they were having a good time talking?

"hope."

Baron York got on his horse and, surrounded by a group of cavalry, went to the village - he planned to go to the village chief, Mayor Charles, and ask him to arrange a place to stay.

I heard that this is the only place that still maintains royal rule among the areas controlled by the Burgundians... As the nobles of the kingdom, they should be able to receive good hospitality.

…

Just when I left Mr. Jacques' residence.

A cavalryman stepped forward and asked: "Sir, are we leaving like this? The matter with the paperwork..."

"Some things cannot be rushed." Baron York said calmly: "Although this place still adheres to the tradition of royal rule, it is surrounded by the territory of the Grand Duke of Burgundy... In the end, who knows where this place is?

Are we really still adhering to the tradition of royal rule?"

The cavalryman's expression condensed, "Sir, what you mean is that the village of Donremi is very likely to have... However, I heard Jacques's servant talking about it. The village was attacked by the Burgundian cavalry last night. These things

Over the years, villages have been attacked."

"Of course I hope this is a place that supports the royal family." Baron York chuckled, "Who doesn't think so?"

The cavalryman was puzzled, not knowing what the baron meant.

Baron York suddenly said: "Speaking of servants...do you remember the appearance of the little maid who just knocked in the door?"

The cavalry followed Baron York into the house and was always by Baron York's side. It was naturally clear that a reckless little maid bumped into the house while the Baron was talking to Mr. Jacques.

"I didn't pay much attention." The cavalryman recalled: "The maid kept her head down. After being scolded by Jacques, she covered her face and left crying... Sir, is there anything wrong with this maid?"

I saw Baron York saying thoughtfully: "I wonder how old the young lady from Jacques' family is this year."

"It's easy." The cavalryman smiled and said, "As long as you enter the village and ask someone casually, you will find out."

"Hmm... By the way, let's also ask about this reckless little maid. She may have heard something she shouldn't have heard." The Baron nodded, and then yawned, "I hope there is a soft enough bed here.

, I...but it’s really not easy to get up from a woman’s belly in the middle of the night and run to this place exhausted.”

It is indeed not easy... For a pampered nobleman, such a high-intensity journey will cost him half his life.

But this baron is no ordinary nobleman.

He was promoted through military service.

"I'll go to the village to make arrangements first."

The cavalryman said, and as soon as he spurred his horse, he took the lead in breaking away from the large army and heading towards the village.

…

…

"Did you just find these?"

Mr. Jacques sat in the study room at home, looking at a set of maid's clothes placed on the table - in front of him was a woman in her thirties... who was also a maid at home, but still

The old man who is responsible for taking care of the young lady.

"Yes...yes." The maid lowered her head and said, "I found it in the utility room in the back garden... As for the young lady, I don't know where she went."

"Nonsense." Mr. Jacques sighed.

"I'll call some more people to look for it. The lady may have gone to the hunting hut she often goes to."

"No need." Mr. Jacques waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this matter for now. Just take care of your family affairs."

The maid nodded - in fact, although she is a maid, because she has stayed in this family long enough, she can almost be regarded as half a housekeeper... There are no housekeepers here.

"Master, what about receiving those foreign guests?"

Mr. Jacques rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Where are they now?"

The maid said: "I was afraid that they might be inappropriate here, so I told Bertrand to take a few guests to visit a nearby farm... Now, it should be over there. Otherwise,

Should I go find them and come back now?"

"Well done." Mr. Jacques nodded, and then said: "There's no need to rush to find someone to come back, that's it. I also...I also need some time to think about something. You can go out first. I'll do it if you have anything."

Call you."

"Okay, Monsieur Jacques."

After the maid left the study, Mr. Jacques leaned on the chair. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking... After a moment, Mr. Jacques stood up and walked to the bookcase beside him.

He reached his hand into a certain layer of the bookcase and seemed to be pulling out something. He only heard a "click" sound, which was the sound of some kind of mechanism.

Then one of the shelves of the bookcase suddenly popped up, and there was actually a small secret door inside... a hidden shelf.

Mr. Jacques took a deep breath at this time, but quickly took off a ring on his left hand and put it into the hidden compartment.

He recovered quickly and sat down at the desk again, saying to himself: "No matter who comes, I will not let you take her away..."

He seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart, and his eyes gradually focused.

…

…

The pastoral scenery is indeed very good... There are almost no farms of this size in [Liberty City].

In fact, this farm is really not that small.

"Everyone, do you want to go to the windmill and have a look?" Tour guide Bertrand pointed at this time: "You can see the entire Donremy Village from there. You're welcome. The top of the windmill is the best viewing spot."

Asaches was not in high spirits. He was thinking about the conditions of Ludick and his male assistant... Although Ludick and his two men had already been settled, Mr. Jacques was currently receiving the Baron, and he was afraid that he would not have time for the time being.

Go out and see a doctor.

"When can we go back?" Asaches asked directly and rudely: "We can't go back because those cavalry don't leave, right? This doesn't seem to be the way to treat guests?"

Bertrand had no choice but to ignore it, "If you don't want to go up there, there is a small river nearby with a lot of fish. We can fish."

Mr. Azashes could only roll his eyes and said directly: "I'll go up and see the scenery."

As the maid of the mansion, Clary naturally had to follow him now - the main reason was that she instinctively didn't want to be around Boss Luo and the others.

"We want to take a walk nearby." Boss Luo suddenly said at this moment, "We won't go too far, it's right near the windmill."

Bertrand was a little surprised, but he still nodded... The door behind the windmill was locked. He needed to go up and open the door so that Mr. Assachs could watch the view.

Obviously, it will take some time to climb up.

"That's okay." Bertrand thought for a moment and said, "If anything happens, please call me loudly, I can hear you."

This is within the confines of the farm, and there is no danger, so Bertrand is not in trouble.

Seeing that the three of them had already entered the windmill, the maid suddenly looked at Nan Xiaonan and handed her a few pieces of manuscript paper.

"What is this?" Nan Xiaonan looked at the content on the manuscript paper curiously.

It turned out to be several hand-drawn drawings of plants...and they were in a hyper-realistic style.

"These types of plants should exist around the village." The maid said casually: "Miss Nan, please follow the comparison above to search and collect at least three plants of each plant as much as possible. I want to prepare some medicines."

"Used to deal with the symptoms of Ludik and the others?" Nan Xiaonan asked with a thought.

"Miss Nan, if you can't pick it before sunset, you can come back tomorrow." The maid said with a slight smile.

——Holy shit, doesn’t that mean I shouldn’t even come back tonight?

——Why don’t you just say it?

——It’s very dangerous for a girl to spend the night alone, okay?

"Okay, I'll try to be back before tomorrow morning!" Nan Xiaonan immediately patted her chest and said in assurance - As for why the maid lady is sure that these kinds of plants exist near the village, how could she dare to ask!

Just ask if you can come back before next week... What should I do?

After Nan Xiaonan also left, Boss Luo pointed to a grassy slope facing the windmill: "Let's go for a walk over there, you might be able to gain something."

…

The girl likes to lie on the grass.

The sky and the earth will seem to be integrating into themselves at this time, and she will find peace at this time - she is not at peace at this time.

She heard part of her father's conversation with Baron York... This part could not be shaken from her mind.

There was no quarrel or fuss. The girl immediately understood what her father meant, so she directly hid her face and left... She knew that her father did not want the cavalry from the kingdom to recognize her.

——They came here specifically to see me?

The absent-minded girl did not notice another thing...next to the grass where she was lying, there was something sneakily emerging from the grass.
To be continued...
