Daphne But now that she can read, how could she be so easily fooled by her brother?
"Brother, do you think I'm a child? Shouldn't there be guards at home?"
Miller coughed and said, "Anyway, without your brother accompanying you, you can't go out by yourself."
Daphne blinked at him, then suddenly cupped his face in her hands and kissed him on the cheek.
"Can big brother take me out to play sometime?"
Miller gently touched her cheek and suddenly smiled, lifting her soft chin with his finger. "That depends on whether Flora listens to big brother and can make big brother happy."
In short, Daphne and he have made plans to play in the garden all day tomorrow.
The next day, the sky was clear and filled with countless stars, and the moon was dimmed by the brilliant light.
Miller got up early, dressed up neatly, and even managed to straighten out their usually slightly messy hair.
After waiting for half an hour in their sister's room, the bedroom door was finally opened.
Wearing a pristine white dress, Daphne walked out from inside, holding up her dress with her left hand, tiptoeing and bending her knees to greet him.
"How do I look, brother?" She smiled brightly, her light purple eyes gazing at her brother.
Miller focused on her, sincerely praised, "Extremely lovely."
With his sister in tow, Louis stood by the open door, bowed to them, and followed behind.
"Having our meal outside today, what do you think?" Miller said. "I've asked Louis to prepare some snacks and tea in the garden, we can have our meal in the side garden later."
"Sounds good."
Walking along the small path, all the trees were trimmed into strange shapes by the servants.
Some looked like animals, some looked like other things. She even saw a pendulum clock covered in vines, standing on top of a fountain.
The pool is extremely clear, with smooth and beautiful stones at the bottom, and many red and black fish swimming inside.
"Are these fish all brought back by my brother last time?"
Daphne I remember it seems to be a hybrid of piranha and goldfish...?
Miller Walking beside her, he casually glanced at the pond and said, "Yes."
Daphne is a bit curious about the fish in the pond, so she asked Lucia to bring some fish bait.
As they threw the minced meat into the water, the fish instantly turned into ferocious monsters, baring their sharp, saw-like teeth and fighting over it.
Daphne was startled at first, but then found it quite interesting to see them like this.
After a while, she was drawn to the peculiar statues and exotic plants around her, and she let go of her brother's hand.
When the master walked away, Lucia quickly followed. Miller's hand was suddenly empty, and his eyes darkened as he watched his sister run off into the distance like a butterfly, feeling displeased in his chest.
He watched quietly for a while and said to Louis, "You go and follow the young lady, don't let her get lost in the garden."
"Yes," Louis said respectfully.
The garden at home is really big. Daphne ran for a long time and even with her vision, she couldn't see the boundaries.
"Is that also ours, Louis?" She pointed to the neatly trimmed maze of bushes in the distance and asked him.
"Miss, you don't need to worry. The castle and its surroundings within a radius of forty kilometers are all Vanthro host family."
Daphne ran off again, and Louis sighed and resignedly caught up with her.
All the trees in the maze are flowering trees, and it's probably the perfect time for them to bloom. The pale yellow flowers adorn the entire tree wall.
"Do they need to be pruned every day?" Daphne sighed.
"The branches of the tree maze do not need to be pruned every day. This type of tree grows slowly, so pruning every three days is sufficient."
Daphne was walking around with two people behind her, and then got lost inside.
She was not nervous at all. Seeing Louis's calm and composed appearance, she knew he must be familiar with the way here. Relying on her intuition, she continued on her way.
Not knowing where she had arrived, Daphne seemed to faintly hear a distant and indistinct commotion.
Daphne turned to look at Louis, and the butler obviously heard the sound more clearly than she did.
Louis furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and said to Daphne, "Miss, I'm sorry, but there is an urgent matter I need to attend to over there. Can you play here for a while? Lucia knows her way around here."
Seeing the seriousness on his face, Daphne nodded obediently, "Then go quickly."
"Very sorry," said Louis and quickly left via a certain road.
Daphne still wanted to follow his footsteps to find the way out, but Louis walked too fast, and she lost sight of him after a few steps, falling into another deadlock.
Louis quickly emerged from the maze and saw a woman riding a horse on the main road, followed by a large group of servants.
He stepped forward and stopped in the middle of the road, intimidated by a certain momentum, causing the galloping horse to gradually come to a halt, thus being forced to stop. Cordelia pulled on the reins, her sharp green eyes squinting at the steward. Seeing that he had no intention of moving aside, she had no choice but to dismount from the horse.
Behind her, her own servants and the servants of the Vandura Family stood in two groups, both panting heavily. Louis glanced at the servants who failed to stop the person, signaling them to inform the master.
Louis stepped forward, took her outstretched hand, and lightly kissed it, but his tone was devoid of warmth: "I don't recall Miss Arabella sending me a request for an audience three days ago."
"I submitted it six months ago."
"If I remember correctly, it seems like it was rejected by the head of the household that time."
"So—" Cordelia's tone was icy, "if delivering the letter is useless, why should I bother delivering it?"
"I thought that barging in directly shouldn't be a ladylike behavior."
"Can a lady really meet Vanthro? I have tried to approach him gently, but it seems that Lord Vanthro is not receptive to that approach."
