Chapter 3152: Central City of Willendel

Chapter 3149 Central City-Wilundel

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 plants will not appear 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 why it is for. Almost all the great men in the royal capital 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 waves 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, to this day, 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 is like you and me, who can immediately realize the value of chemical synthetic fibers. Besides, isn't there Margaret?

Moreover, the supply of those 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 they are working with and the location of the store, and mocked Brother Margaret, the wife of the eldest prince Samuel Anjou was noticed just now and even if she participated. The light fabric is also required 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 Bettany say goodbye, 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 how to find the derivation of imaginary numbers, but I haven't figured out some of the content yet, so I want you to help me."

"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 and chop people by grabbing a big sword.

He is taller than Xia De, has a strong figure, and has golden hair, so he really looks like a real lion. If one day the kings of the north and the south need to engage in a one-on-one duel, then no one would think that His Majesty the "Lion" would lose. Of course, the premise is that both sides use cold weapons.

Margaret's married sister, two brothers and the underage younger brother all 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 the illegitimate daughter has been publicly recognized by the royal family, his identity has not been recognized yet.

People who don’t know the truth may think that this is because the dead will not affect the order of succession to the throne, but the living will; but the real reason is still the Bennet family. The three Miss Bennets are ordinary people, but little Albert has recently shown signs of awakening as a ring wizard.

“Shad, thank you for coming to this funeral.”

Margaret did not leave with the people attending the funeral. After watching her parents leave in the royal carriage at the gate of the cemetery, she returned to the church gate of the cemetery.

She found her 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 underground tomb.

Margaret also wore a simple black dress and a veil like Sylvia. She was probably the saddest person in this funeral except Albert Bennet.

"You don't need to thank me for this kind of thing. Although I won't say that your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, we are all relatives."

Shad couldn't see Margaret's expression behind the veil, he could only see her nodding slightly:

"Teacher Sylvia, Shad, please wait for me here for a while. I will take people to check the crypt and will be back soon."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one look!

As he said this, he waved to the people behind him and returned to the church again. The priest of the cemetery church, the gravekeeper of the royal mausoleum, and the administrator who was responsible for the maintenance of this place were already waiting for the princess to inspect the work.

"Is that woman still buried in the Vestal Woodland?"

Shad stood in the snow and asked Sylvia again. The black-haired witch reacted for a moment before realizing who Shad was talking about:

"The mother of the illegitimate child? Yes, the royal family did not mention her, and people only cared about the two children who were truly of royal blood. Even Margaret did not remember the woman, so her grave should still be in the woodland."

Seeing Shad nod, she said with some relief:

"You are the first person to ask about the woman's body. Shad, sometimes the kindness and goodness you show really surprises me why there are people like you in this world."

"Sylvia, you are praising me too much."

Shad hurriedly shook his head, put his hands in his pockets and continued to look at the distant view of the cemetery. The turmoil of the illegitimate child will not end with the death of Miss Bettany. On the contrary, this funeral may be the beginning of all the stories.

Margaret quickly led people to check the underground mausoleum, but Shade certainly could not cast a spell inside the Rogmore Cemetery, because the church was protecting the remains of the ancestors of the Anjou family from being desecrated.

Therefore, the three of them also got on the carriage and left here, but they did not return to the city, but went to Helston Castle next to the cemetery.

The history of Helston Castle can be traced back to before the Southern Territory was built. The floor area of ​​the castle is about 484,000 square feet. In the old days, it was the main administrative residence of the monarchs of Carsenrick.

Margaret's late great-grandfather spent a lot of time in this castle every year, but after a royal scandal a hundred years ago, the Anjou royal family, like the Cavendish royal family, moved their residence and administrative residence to the city center, which was called Cold Spring Palace.

So now this largest castle building in Willendale, as well as Sandringham Villa and Bar Castle on both sides, are just places for the royal family to go out of town for vacation.

The forests, meadows and orchards facing Helston Castle are all private property of the royal family. In spring and autumn, a small area here will be opened to the public for interesting activities similar to the "Round the City Equestrian Competition" in the north, but it is not so lively in winter.

In short, after the funeral, all the royal family members returned to the city, so only the butler and many servants were in Helston Castle. Shade hid in Margaret's guards. Margaret claimed that she was a little unwell and wanted to rest in the castle before returning to the city, and then took them into the castle.

She has 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 Shade's arms.

Then the jade hanging on her chest emitted a faint light, and Miss Bettany, who looked like she had just woken up, floated out of it:

"Is the funeral over? Sorry, I fell asleep when they read out my honorary title just now."

She ignored the young man and woman hugging each other, after all, she had long known about Margaret's affair with the handsome Northern Knight. Miss Ghost wandered around the study to observe the surrounding environment, and when she wanted to look out of the castle window to see the scenery, she was stopped by Sylvia.
