On August 4, 1866 in the common calendar, the weather was fine.
Norland Railway Station was extremely busy this morning.
It is very rare that the weather of dark clouds, thick fog and falling ash that lasted for many days ended in a short time. Today is a rare good weather. People have not seen the sun for an untold amount of time. Even the early morning sun, hidden behind cotton candy-like white clouds, can bring warmth and peace of mind to people in a clear sky.
"Unfortunately, today is Jenkins' shot to disperse the nearby clouds and fog, and it is only today. The sky will return to its original state soon, and he said that this weather will continue for many decades..."
There was only one steam train leaving from the busy Nolan Station today. This was the first time this had happened since the railway traffic resumed three days ago.
At this time, more than a week had passed since the day of the final decisive battle, and the heir of the Northern Kingdom, Princess Dolores Stuart, was sitting in the most comfortable compartment of the king's special train. The carriage was completely opened up, and it was a huge living room-like room in itself.
Dolores is wearing light makeup and a very formal princess dress today. While she was talking about the weather with her maid Julia, she had a very unhappy expression on her face.
"Your Highness, there will be a farewell ceremony later, please don't do this."
Julia is still wearing her usual heavy maid outfit. Fortunately, due to the special weather, the temperature around the world has dropped by nearly 20 degrees in just a few weeks, so this outfit will not be very hot.
"Really, since it's the day for the whole family to go to Belduran, why have a farewell ceremony? Isn't it enough to pack all the furniture and clothes and pots and pans that Jenkins will take away in the train?"
Dolores complained again, this is the first time Her Royal Highness has complained today.
The beast of calamity was defeated, and Saint William, the son and savior of the world, had to play the responsibility of being a king.
Now the whole world is still in disaster, in view of the current situation, the three kingdoms intend to carry out deeper cooperation. Salhi II and the young king of the Aresio family in the southern country have already returned to their own countries through the space-specific area near Nolan. And Dolores, as Jenkins' fiancée, wants to go to Beldylan with him temporarily.
Going to the capital of Berdylan, on the one hand, is convenient to communicate directly with the Holy See to solve the disaster of the end; on the other hand, Jenkins also promised the former Queen Isabella to live in Cold Spring Palace in Berdylan.
Now that the Nolan affair is over, it's time to leave.
It's just that Jenkins is reluctant to part with his house, after all, he has lived there most of the time in this world. Despite Alexia's rational persuasion, Jenkins still hugged the chocolate and insisted on transporting all the furniture, decorations and pots and pans at home to Beldyran.
In the eyes of the girls, it might be useful to leave these in the original house and return to Nolan in the future, but Jenkins insisted on moving the old furniture to the new home. But Cold Spring Palace is very big, and Dolores heard that Britney and Jessica had secretly discussed that after moving in, they would pile up Jenkins's old things in an empty room, and he would gradually forget about them.
Just thinking of Queen Isabella, there was a knock on the door. After getting permission from Dolores, Queen Isabella hurried in with her maid, and the old man seemed in good spirits:
"Oh, have you seen Jenkins? Why hasn't his farewell speech been sent to me?"
"Jenkins was here just now."
Dolores stood up from the sofa, and Julia slightly saluted the former queen behind the princess.
"Okay then, I'll look for it again, young people really don't worry."
After finishing speaking, she took the servants and left the same way, telling the old duke beside her how efficient she was when she was young.
"Did you see Jenkins?"
After Queen Isabella left, Jessica also hurried in, with the same problem. Walking in were three Jessicas, all wearing dresses similar to Dolores's. They also had the identity of Jenkins' fiancée, and they would attend Nolan's farewell speech with Jenkins in a while.
"No, Julia and I have been here. The last time I saw Jenkins was after seven o'clock."
The five ladies looked at the clock hanging on the side of the carriage. It was half past eight.
"Really, where did he go? The matter of the speech has not been clarified yet."
Miss Windsor complained, and Miss J shook her head and said:
"Then we can only help him revise it first. We just hope that he can show up on time, and no one can speak for him."
Ms. J recently wore a new hairstyle. The normal Jessica looks very capable, but she asked Jenkins to help her grow her hair, and then tied it into a single ponytail. It seemed that she wanted to do it with other Jessicas in front of Jenkins. Out of distinction.
"However, what does it taste like?"
Jessica suddenly frowned and sniffed a few times:
"It's so strange... so familiar."
Hearing what she said, Miss Windsor and Miss J also sniffed lightly a few times. Dolores immediately turned around and complained to Julia:
"In the morning, I told you to go to the rest room over there, but it turned out that you must be here. Are you discovered now?"
"Impossible, this carriage has been opening the windows to ventilate, so there is no way it could smell."
Julia maintained the elegance of a maid and explained to her highness the princess.
"What was Jenkins doing here this morning?"
The three Jessicas understood the conversation between the two, and Miss Windsor asked teasingly. Miss Windsor is also trying to make changes to her image recently, but has not yet done so. Among the three Jessica Windsors, she is the only one who has never been exposed to extraordinary powers. Although she has become a queen, her personality is also the most gentle.
"Did not do anything."
Miss Maid spoke over her highness, blushing this time.
"Huh? Didn't Jenkins say to wait until you're eighteen? Why did you cross the line so easily?"
Miss J also asked Dolores with a smile, and Her Royal Highness said angrily:
"Morning is where they do...dirty things and he didn't even kiss me!"
"Are you just watching here?"
Jessica also blushed. As the real Jessica Windsor, she had never been a queen, and she was probably the thinnest one.
"Yes, His Highness has been watching here, even if we let her leave temporarily, she has been sitting here."
The maid replied again, as a maid, it should be regarded as arrogance for her to go over the princess and talk directly to Jessica, but considering the family relationship, it is actually nothing.
"Oh~"
The three Jessicas sighed to Dolores together, and the latter's temper seemed even worse. Seeing her like this, the Jessicas said goodbye with a smile. They still had to help Jenkins deal with a lot of troubles, and sent someone to bring Jenkins back as soon as possible.
After the maids closed the compartment door again, Dolores sat back on the sofa. Wearing a silver tiara, the princess turned her head angrily to look at the maid who had been with her all the time:
"Since that night, you've become more and more excessive."
"Sorry Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about."
With her hands folded on her chest, Julia is still so chic and elegant. She is a very good royal maid.
"Jenkins hasn't been with you in the past... Even if you put on that shameless maid costume, he turned you down. But the night he comes back, don't think I don't know what you guys did."
She said angrily, Julia went from behind the sofa to the front, bent down and squatted down, and helped Dolores refill a cup of black tea. Seeing Julia's appearance, Dolores herself felt a little embarrassed.
"Really."
She said again, like a child throwing a tantrum:
"You all can, but I can't."
"What are you talking about?"
The door was pushed open again, and it was Hathaway who walked in this time. She was also dressed in a heavy dress, and the maids behind her carefully lifted the hem of her skirt.
"Talking about that night, when Jenkins came back..."
Dolores folded her hands on her chest with a very gloomy expression. Julia covered her mouth with a chuckle and called the other maids to bring some snacks.
"That night..."
Hathaway also blushed. Fortunately, her hair was originally red, so the change in her complexion was not very obvious.
"Yeah, that night, it was just me sleeping in the guest room with my chocolate in my arms, all of you and Jenkins..."
Dolores grew angrier as she spoke:
"You guys are really... so messed up. Two or three people are fine, why do you have to go? It's really... shameless."
Her chest was heaving. As for whether she was angry because of the chaos in the family relationship, or angry because she was left out, the girls had their own opinions.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing that the topic was gradually becoming unhealthy, Julia asked Hathaway, who twitched the hair on her forehead:
"Have you seen Jenkins? Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute are going to Beldylan with us, but there are some problems with Miss Magic's luggage. There are some... dangerous things. Additional freight locomotives need to be arranged to be transported to Beldylan the day after tomorrow. .”
The Jenkins family wanted to leave Nolan, so they naturally invited their "Royal Occult Consultant" to the capital. Neither Miss Magic nor Miss Silver Flute had any irresistible careers in the local area, so they went happily. Julia still remembered that Jenkins once said that he would knight these two ladies.
"I don't know where Jenkins has gone, but the church can arrange this kind of thing. In the name of the Holy Son, can the church not let those dangerous items go?"
Dolores said, and the red-haired girl, who was exceptionally beautiful today, nodded:
"That's right. I'll talk to the bishop later. Really, where did Jenkins go?"
"Speaking of which, since these two of your friends are going to Beldyran together, what about the other friends? I remember that the other three gentlemen also helped a lot in the final decisive battle."
Dolores asked, and the maids pushed the dining car from the junction of the carriages, so Hathaway also sat down, planning to have some snacks.
"Oh, you mean Mr. Hood, Mr. Black Cat, and Mr. White Cat? They are also going to Beldyran. They mentioned it when we went to the cemetery to worship Mr. Birchwood a few days ago. The three gentlemen are doing business in partnership, and plan to put the established trade headquarters in Beldyland, after all, it is the capital of the kingdom, and it is more convenient, and Jenkins also promised to provide convenience."
Hathaway stretched out her fair fingers to pick up a cube-shaped pink pastry, opened her small rosy mouth, and began to eat it carefully. This made Dolores, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, unconsciously think of the "dirty" things that happened on this sofa in the morning, so her face turned red again.
"Your Highness, a lady shouldn't think wildly."
Julia reminded as if she understood her mind, and Dolores blushed even more:
"If you don't do that, how can I..."
"Oh? What did you think of?"
Hathaway also asked with interest, and then showed a dazed expression:
"It's nothing, everyone has done it before, and that night we..."
She raised an eyebrow at Julia, who had done a great job of keeping herself present and not losing her composure at the words.
"Stop talking, it really is."
Dolores said this again, holding up the teacup to drink tea, in fact to hide her rosy cheeks from thinking of more "pictures".
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few people who left Nolan. Aren't Anastasia and Princess Sophia in the back compartment?"
Instead of continuing to "tease" Dolores, Hathaway returned to the normal topic.
"I know that they are going to travel to Beldylan. Jenkins said that these two will live with us in Cold Spring Palace for the time being, and they can also be regarded as guards."
Dolores nodded, she didn't have much thought about it:
"But Jenkins seems sad at the departure of his elf friend, Mr Sianod."
So did Julia at this time.
"Mr. Sianod is too old, he just returned to his hometown, to the Flower Forest. But we can meet again in the future, Jenkins is too sentimental. Besides, didn't the elves formally establish diplomatic relations with the kingdom? The mission has already I arrived at Beldylan ahead of time, and I heard that there is Miss Syluff who is familiar with Jenkins inside."
Hathaway shook her head:
"But those elf girls are indeed beautiful... tsk tsk."
Although the gods said that the nineteenth century was the time when the alien species returned and the spiritual wave resurged, it was still allowed to establish diplomatic relations in advance in the last few hundred years of the eighteenth century. In the next hundred years, the kingdom and the church will gradually let ordinary people know the existence of alien races, and the alien races from the rulers of the world will gradually appear,
Both diplomatic and domestic stability maintenance are very important and difficult tasks, but they are related to the situation of the next century and the advancement of civilization in the material world.
"In addition to the departure of Mr. Sianod, that Mr. Pisco also left. I heard that he went to the Church of Fate. He wants to protect the "Epic of Time."
Dolores spoke again, looking at the snacks on the table while talking. Girls don't have to worry about getting out of shape, Jenkins can solve these small problems, and she is wondering which one to choose.
"But the goblin didn't go, and she's been seen a lot with Britney lately."
"There is a lot of jealousy in this sentence."
Dolores also teased Hathaway.
"How can I be jealous?"
Hathaway puffed up her chest:
"It's just a goblin. I don't like to think about it that much. Besides, after confirming the relationship with Jenkins, she didn't even want to be alone with me... saying that it was a betrayal of Jenkins."
So the red-haired girl felt a little depressed again.
"But you don't seem so upset. Last time we were with Jenkins...you kissed me."
Julia once again said something that was not suitable for a maid. Hathaway raised her head to look at the elegant and unrestrained lady maid, and looked at her with a smile:
"It was an accident, you know, sometimes women can't help themselves at certain moments, and I didn't mean to. Besides, your black and white lace..."
"Stop saying such things in front of me!"
Dolores said a little angrily.
"Okay, okay, then I'm going to the back of the car and have a talk with Jenkins' mother, the family is going to Beldyran."
Hathaway stood up in a happy mood, and left here under the service of the royal maids.
Dolores leaned back while holding the teacup, her legs lifted slightly from the ground in her skirt. Julia wanted to stop the inelegant gesture, but thought for a moment and didn't speak.
"I heard that Jenkins' father's work relationship has been transferred to Belduran City."
"Yes, Your Highness. After all, the mining company itself has a shareholding from the royal family of Fidetictli."
"His elder brother's professor got a sponsorship to go to Beldyland for research, so Newman Williams can go to Beldyland. His younger brother, John, is a transfer... Should we also go to the back compartment, with Jenkins talk to your family?"
Dolores asked anxiously, this kind of state of worrying about gains and losses rarely appeared in princesses.
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this now, you will have plenty of time in the future."
"But Jenkins said that his family will not move into Cold Spring Palace, but will live in another estate belonging to the royal family, and may not see each other often in the future."
"But isn't that better?"
Julia asked back, but Dolores didn't respond for a while. After a few seconds, she turned her head, and her beautiful eyes looked at Julia unexpectedly:
"That's what you said, I didn't say anything... But it's true, I'm not used to getting along with strangers at home."
Her Royal Highness is in a much better mood, probably because she has found a place of empathy with her maid:
"Father has already returned to Loen. The two countries will officially announce their marriage in a few days, even more formal than last time. I'm really looking forward to the wedding next summer..."
There is a smile on the corner of her mouth:
"But where did Jenkins go?"
"Yes, where the hell did Jenkins go?"
Britney walked in angrily, also in a heavy dress, but even Dolores had to admit that she was really beautiful:
"As long as Jenkins isn't around, the unicorn won't let me touch it."
The servants straightened the hem of her skirt before she could sit down.
Jenkins fulfilled his promise to let his little unicorn come to reside in the physical world after everything is over. Now it is in a slightly rear compartment, under the care of excited nuns and ladies, waiting to depart.
"It's just a unicorn, don't be so angry."
Dolores comforted, and the blonde girl stroked her hair:
"Yes, it's just a unicorn! But now in the house, only you can touch it without Jenkins around."
It was just Britney saying casually, but Dolores seemed to be touched by the tail of chocolate:
"Hmph~ so what?"
Briney is baffled by Dolores' emotional reaction, only to understand when she sees Julia's cue behind her. Covering her mouth elegantly, she chuckled:
"You will have such a day sooner or later, don't worry, Jenkins will not let you go."
"I don't understand what you said."
Her Royal Highness lied.
"Yes, it's okay if you don't understand... However, the unicorn really likes Little Finny. Just now I saw it fly back from the outside with Little Finny on board."
"It's very dangerous to let the little girl go out by herself. You can't let her run around just because Jenkins temporarily dispelled the black mist. It's still during the disaster."
Dolores reminded.
"It doesn't matter, with angels protecting her, what danger can she encounter?"
Jenkins was going to Beldyland, so Miss Finney Feisford, who was the only temporary believer, of course had to go to Beldyland with him. Fenny was very reluctant to part with her friends in the choir, so Jenkins directly moved the entire choir to Beldyland.
Most of the children in the choir are orphans adopted by the church, raised as givers, or reserve for priests and nuns, so they don't care about life in other cities.
"But Jenkins is really good."
Britney also twirls a small snack from the plate on the table:
"Let everyone forget that he is a god, and only retain the identity of the Son of God and the savior of the world."
"He doesn't want to give up his life now."
Dolores said:
"He said that this was his wish to the gods, and he used his own power to tell a lie to the world. But, do you think he really only lied? About the identity of the gods."
"He said he wouldn't lie to us."
Julia reminded in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, you all have a very unusual relationship with him."
Dolores sulked again.
"But I don't understand, why didn't he take this opportunity to let the world accept the fact that a king can marry multiple queens?"
asked Britney, poking her cheek with a long, thin finger.
"I know this, Jenkins said, he wants people to really accept and bless his marriage to us, instead of accepting the truth under a lie. What's more, now that he has the identity of the son, the king and the savior, this matter It shouldn't be difficult to implement."
Dolores said.
At this time, cheers came from outside the train, as if some important person had arrived. The weather today is exceptionally good, the sun is shining brightly, and people are willing to come to see His Majesty the King off.
Norland station is still very busy even though there is only one King's train waiting to depart. It was as if the whole city, the whole continent, were crowded here, waiting to say goodbye to His Majesty the King.
"Will your father come?"
Dolores asked Britney.
"The Nolan Navy just won the title of 'Royal Navy'. My father and Earl Hesha are too busy to deal with the affairs here. To see them, I'm afraid I have to wait until the award ceremony at the end of the year. Jenkins said to raise Father to Duke and Earl Hessa to Marquess as their reward for having him and... as a wedding present from us."
Seeing Britney's smile, Dolores curled her lips, looking boredly at the busy servants outside the window. Everyone has something to do, only Dolores, as a foreign princess, does not need to do anything, so she is here with Julia.
"Since Jenkins is not here, let me go to Hathaway. I remember she has a very good box of foundation. When you see him, ask me about the Flower Girls Union. Do you need to meet him in Nolan?" Take those little girls from the town to Beldurin."
Saying that, the blond girl stood up and bid farewell to the princess' master and servant, and the maids rushed to help arrange the heavy skirt.
"Hathaway went to the back compartment to talk to Jenkins' family."
Julia did not forget to remind, Britney nodded, just about to take a step, but turned to look at the maid:
"Last time you wore a very... beautiful black and white maid outfit, if it's convenient, introduce the tailor to me..."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Her Royal Highness waved her hands impatiently, which even made the other serious maids laugh.
Although Britney left, Dolores still looked at her head maid with strange eyes.
"Your Highness, is there a question?"
Julia is still so calm.
"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask a long time ago, where did you make that shameless dress?"
"I know a lot of good tailors."
Julia told the truth, as the head maid of the princess, she had reasons to know tailors who specially designed clothes for the royal family, and it was normal to entrust one of them to make that dress.
Dolores leaned her body slightly, blushing and asked:
"I… "
"You're not that age yet."
Because it was too familiar, Dolores just uttered a personal pronoun, and Julia knew what she was thinking. Similarly, the maid also knew that Her Royal Highness would be angry about this, so she added in a low voice:
"But I can get you some magazines... off-the-shelf magazines with pictures of what you consider 'shameless' clothing."
"Is there such a magazine?"
Dolores' eyes lit up.
"Yes, but it is only circulated privately among noble ladies and ladies. It is said that some men will also read it."
