Sylvia, wearing a black dress, said in elegant Carsonrick next to Shade:
"Although Virondell does not have the name of "steam capital" like Tobesque, it is indeed a political, cultural, commercial and industrial center in the south of the old continent. The exhaust gas emitted by steam factories will not appear due to different regions due to different regions.
Make any difference.”
Her eyes looked at the Earl Winslet's family not far away. The specifications of this funeral were far beyond the specifications of a newly recognized illegitimate female princess, but everyone knows what this is for. The great figure of the royal capital
Almost all of them received invitations, and so were the newspaper tycoon Earl Winslet.
Although Flora's grandfather was in poor health, he still brought Flora's uncle and aunt. Flora did not show up, after all, the church could not squeeze out so many people.
"Shade, do you know what Virondell is called?"
The young big witch's golden eyes looked at the young man looking at the scenery around him behind the veil. Xia De thought for a moment:
“Central City – City of Wirondale.
The United Kingdom claimed that the city of Virondell was the center of the Old Continent, and when the steam wave swept through the Old Continent, the earliest train tracks were also laid here, which led to Virondell as the center of the railway network of the entire Old Continent.
, well-connected orbits can reach almost every important city on this continent.
I remember Margaret told me that the local area has a very unique train culture, and the rich nobles are even willing to collect retired locomotives in the warehouse."
Sylvia stood beside him and nodded slightly:
"Yes, the city of Central - Virondale, the source of all power, wealth and art. The revolution in the textile industry spread from here to the entire continent, directly revealing the prelude to the Steam Revolution.
In fact, until today, the local textile industry is still the most prosperous in the entire kingdom. It’s just that the king doesn’t like his capital being called ‘Textile City’ or ‘Silk City’, so such nicknames have never appeared.”
She told Xia De these palace secrets, and Xia De was very curious:
"Since the traditional textile industry is so strong here, have you not encountered any obstacles in the spread of your chemical synthetic fibers and special fabrics?"
Sylvia behind the veil smiled:
"Not everyone, like you and me, can immediately realize the value of chemical synthetic fibers. Besides, isn't there Margaret?
Moreover, the supply of special fabrics has always been deliberately suppressed by me. Coupled with the high prices, such a small market share will naturally not threaten the traditional textile industry giants."
In the echoing bell, she informed Xia De of the sales status of the business and the location of the store, and laughed at Brother Margaret, the wife of the eldest prince Samuel Anjou, who had just noticed that she had participated.
You also need to wear that kind of light fabric for funerals:
"She doesn't seem afraid of the cold."
When Margaret left the queen and was about to walk here, Sylvia lowered her voice and asked Xia De:
"You won't stay in Virondale for too long, are you?"
"Yes, after Margaret and Miss Betany bid farewell, I will send the ghost away. Then I promised to accompany Flora to worship her mother, and then have supper with you, dinner.
Then go home.”
He didn't want to stay overnight, but was worried that Sylvia would misunderstand, so he explained:
"Luvia asked me tonight to discuss her sublimational words, and the harvest she and Bella had when observing the starry sky during the days of the polar night."
Sylvia nodded to show her understanding:
"Can you not leave immediately after dinner? I read an interesting paper on the derivation of imaginary numbers, but I haven't understood some of the content yet, so I want you to help me read it."
"no problem."
The crowds who came to attend the funeral gradually dissipated, and the king and queen also boarded the carriage under the escort of the Royal Guard.
Shade's invitation letter was specially obtained by Margaret. He had just sat at the end of the church, so he only saw Margaret's father from afar.
The nickname of "Lion" is very appropriate. The king of the North is a man who is not very tall but smart and capable, while the king of the South looks like he can go to the battlefield to cut people by grabbing a big sword.
He is taller than Xia De, strong in size, and with golden hair, he really looks like a real lion. If one day the kings of the north and the south need to have a one-on-one duel, then it is absolutely
No one thinks that His Majesty "Lion" will lose, of course, the premise is that both sides use cold weapons.
Margaret's married sister, two older brothers and the underage younger brother, both came to attend the funeral, and Xia De took this opportunity to meet most of Margaret's relatives.
The number of members of the Anjou royal family is far less than that of the Cavendish royal family, so Shade doesn't have to bother to figure out various complex kinship relationships.
Even Miss Ashley Bettany's twin brother Albert Bennett appeared briefly in the funeral church, which was the first public appearance of the royal illegitimate son.
Nowadays, Albert's identity is actually very subtle. Although the identity of an illegitimate daughter has been publicly recognized by the royal family, his identity has not been recognized yet.
Those who don't know the truth will probably think that this is because the dead will not affect the succession of the throne, but the living will affect it; but the real reason is the affairs of the Bennet family, the three Bennet girls are all ordinary people.
But Albert Jr. has recently shown a sign of awakening as a ring warlock.
"Xiade, thank you for attending this funeral."
Margaret did not leave with the people attending the funeral. After watching her parents leave in the royal carriage at the entrance of the cemetery, she returned to the entrance of the church.
It was she who found her younger brother and sister, so she applied to stay for a while after the funeral ceremony to confirm the placement of the coffin and the security of the caucus room.
Margaret was wearing a plain black dress and veiled like Sylvia. She was probably the saddest person at this funeral except Albert Bennet.
"I don't have to thank me for this kind of thing. Although I won't say that your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, everyone is considered relatives."
Shade couldn't see Margaret's expression behind the veil, but could only see her nodding:
"Teacher Sylvia, Xia De, please wait for me here. I'll take someone to the caucus to check it out and I'll be back soon."
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
As he said that, he waved to the people behind him and returned to the church again. The priest of the cemetery church, the gravekeeper of the royal tomb, and the administrator who specializes in the maintenance of the place were already waiting for the princess to inspect the work.
"Is that woman still buried in Vestalinland?"
Xia De stood in the snow again and asked Sylvia. The black-haired witch reacted for a moment before realizing who Xia De was talking about:
"Is the mother of the illegitimate child? Yes, the royal family did not mention her, and people only care about the two children with real royal blood. Even Margaret didn't think of that woman's affairs, so her grave
It should still be in the woodland."
Seeing Xia De nodding, she said with some relief:
"You are the first person to ask about that woman's corpse. Xia De, sometimes the kindness and kindness you show really surprised me why there are people like you in this world."
"Silvia, it's a bit too much to praise me like this."
Xia De shook his head quickly, put his hands in his pockets and continued to look at the cemetery. The storm of the illegitimate child will not end with Miss Bettany's death. On the contrary, this funeral may be the beginning of all the stories.
Margaret soon took people to check the situation of the underground mausoleum, but Shade certainly could not cast spells inside the Rogmore cemetery. The church was protecting the corpses of the ancestors of the Anjou family from blasphemy.
So the three of them got into the carriage and left here, but instead of returning to the city, they went to Helston Castle next to the cemetery.
The history of Hullston Castle dates back to the southern territory before it was built, with a floor area of about 484,000 square feet, and was the main administrative residence of Carsonrick's monarchs in the old era.
Margaret's late great-grandfather spends a lot of time in this castle every year, but after a royal scandal a hundred years ago, the Anjou royal family also resided in their place of residence, just like the Cavendish royal family.
And the administrative residence moved to the city center, which is called Cold Springs Palace.
So now this largest castle building in Virondale, as well as the Sandringham Villa and Barburg on both sides, are just places for the royal family to go out of town for vacation.
The forests, grasslands and orchards facing Fort Helston are all private property of the royal family. In spring and autumn, a small area will be opened to the public, and interesting activities such as the "Ring of the City" in the North are held.
, but it is not that lively in winter.
In short, all the royal members returned to the city after the funeral, so there were only the butler and many servants in Hulston Castle. Shade was hidden in Margaret's guards, who claimed that he was feeling a little uncomfortable and wanted to
Rest in the castle before returning to the city, and then took them into the castle.
She had her own separate room here, or all the rooms on the east side of the third floor of the castle are hers. When Margaret took off her veil in her study, she immediately threw herself into Xia De's arms.
.
Then the jade hanging on her chest appeared faintly, and Miss Betany, who had just woken up, floated out of it:
"Is the funeral over? Sorry, I fell asleep when they read my honorary title just now."
She ignored the young man and woman who were hugging each other, after all, she had known about the relationship between Margaret and the handsome North Knight. Miss Ghost wandered around the study and observed the surrounding environment, wanting to poke her head out of the castle window to see the scenery
