Chapter 73 Arrived!

3068 Words
Karen sat on the sofa in Eunice's living room, with red tea and delicate pastries in front of her. Eunice sat on the diagonal opposite, very close to him. She is wearing a blue plum blossom patterned long dress today, with her hair naturally falling down, showing a soft and natural beauty. Thinking back to the first time we met when she was wearing a black long dress, and now, she is consciously choosing her outfit for each meeting based on the distance between us. The atmosphere is becoming more and more natural and easy-going. "You look very formal today, my mother saw you and went back to change her clothes," Eunice covered her mouth and laughed. This is actually a question. "Because today is the memorial day of an elder, I went to attend his memorial ceremony and then I was too lazy to go home and change, so I came straight to your place." Karen's intention is that dressing up so formally today is actually a way of being casual. At this moment, Mrs. Janney walked out, wearing a formal dress. "Karen, we have already booked the tickets for the ship." "Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Janney," Karen stood up and thanked her. "Don't mention it, it's only natural. My family was already preparing for your visit. Thank you and your family for your kindness. However, there is one thing, I may need a few more tickets for my friends to join us in Vienna.""No problem, there are enough tickets. I booked a third-floor cabin with ten rooms, so there is plenty of space. Um...enough space, right?""Plenty of space for the lady, two servants, a cat, and a dog.""Oh, Karen, you are such a kind child. I always tell Eunice that people who love pets are kind-hearted, don't you think?"Karen also smiled in agreement.What he liked was not the pets, but the cat who was your ancestor and the dog who was a newly sealed evil god.I wonder if Mrs. Janine can still say, "Oh, you are so kind" after knowing the true identities of these two pets.Karen did not ask too much about the Allen family, nor did he inquire about details such as his future residence. Although Mrs. Janine tried to explain to show their thoughtfulness and consideration, she found it difficult to do so because Karen did not respond enthusiastically. Because, for Karen, going to Vienna is the main purpose. As for whether he can live comfortably or for a long time in the Allen family, he doesn't have too much attachment. Because, he is not in a situation where he has no other way out and is holding a marriage contract to demand fulfillment from the Allen family. He cannot bear this grievance himself. Of course, Dis will not allow his grandson to suffer this grievance, otherwise he would not have prepared so much in advance. Most importantly, he is not a rootless wanderer, he is a person with a home. When saying goodbye, Lady Janet stayed in the house, and Eunice escorted Karen to the gate of the courtyard. Karen opened his arms, Eunice leaned forward slightly, and the two embraced each other with a perfect understanding and rhythm. "Hmm, Eunice's hair has a faint lavender scent.Karen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and also rubbed her neck with her own nose."Itchy...""Hehe.""I'll come pick you up tomorrow.""Mm, I'll wait for you."Karen got in the car and Eunice stood in the yard, watching Karen leave;What she didn't know was that after Karen drove away, she quickly stopped at the door of a man's house.Pierre's door was always open, so she walked in without knocking.The living room was a mess, with leftover food and dirty plates scattered around, and no one had cleaned up." Piajie was lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly with a stack of thick Lubi under his head, estimated to be worth forty to fifty thousand. He was wearing a suit on his upper body and riding pants on his lower body, with messy hair that looked disheveled. It was clear that he was very tired. The excitement he had when he called himself in the morning was actually an abnormal state after being exhausted, but his body and mind had long been overdrawn. Karen silently bagged all the garbage, put away the plates and utensils, and put them in the kitchen sink, turning on the tap. Then, she picked up a broom and swept the living room, and then mopped it with a mop. Piajie was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware. Karen went back to the kitchen and washed all the dishes and utensils in the sink. When she was arranging them, she noticed a pot of coffee on the stove. She touched it with her hand and it was still warm. Karen poured a cup and took a sip, her expression immediately freezing. "Hmm?"Karen looked confused and surprised as she poked her head out from the kitchen, looking at Piajie who was still sleeping on the couch, and then at the coffee in her hand.After finishing the coffee,Karen grabbed some paper and a pen and left a short note for Piajie:"I didn't have the heart to wake you up from your peaceful sleep, so I also cleaned up your pigsty. Maybe you should consider hiring two maids to take care of your daily life."After hesitating for a moment,Karen added one more sentence:"Thank you for the coffee you prepared for me, it was delicious."...The next day, Afternoon."Aunt, there's no need to prepare such a sumptuous meal." Karen leaned against the wall outside the kitchen, watching her aunt and aunt still busy inside.Today, he, the "chef" of this family, was deprived of the right to use the kitchen, and Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie asked to be in charge of dinner."Miss Eunice's birthday, how can we not prepare well?" Aunt Mary said."But it shouldn't be bigger than Aunt's birthday, she is younger."Hearing this, Aunt Mary reached out and flicked Karen's nose, laughing, "What's the point of comparing elders and younger ones? Of course, the best should be given to the younger ones."In fact, on her own birthday not long ago, the toast and blessings from Dis were already the best gift for her.Because Dis was the person she respected the most, in the Inmerleis family, he was a spiritual totem."Karen, instead of standing here, why don't you go change your clothes and then go pick up Miss Eunice?""Okay, Aunt, I'll follow your orders." Karen went upstairs and came to the bedroom. While picking out clothes, her gaze unintentionally swept over the two cards placed in the gap of the desk, which were given to her by Lunt last time.One was "Moonlight Purification", which can dispel all negative attribute magic influences.The other was "Shadow Guardian", which summons a black figure to accompany you.Karen put these two cards away and placed them in the book "Light of Order".After changing into a more casual outfit, Karen went downstairs with two keys in her hand. In the end, between the hearse and Alfred Suntland at home, Karen chose the hearse.Having come this far, there was no need to use any special way to attract the girl's attention.He just felt that he wouldn't have many chances to drive or ride in a hearse in the future, so he wanted to make the most of it while he still could.And so, twenty minutes later, Karen drove the hearse to the front of Eunice's house. Under the round, glaring gaze of Mrs. Jenny, he picked up Eunice and put her in the hearse.This time, Mrs. Jenny did not choose to come along.On the way back home, Karen apologized, "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, I'm driving this car.""It's okay, I understand. This car carries your longing for home. You drove it here because you don't see me as a stranger.""Thank you."..."Hey, Karen." Piajie greeted Karen warmly and then pointed to the brochure. "Mr. Mason, please help me order this elegant, restrained, wise, calm, and light-wind coffin.""Really, Mr. Adams?" Uncle Mason was extremely shocked.You should know that although these two coffins have always been placed in the most prominent position on the brochure, they are actually just like illustrations, to enhance the style. In fact, it is really difficult to sell them, and it is even unlikely to sell them at all. "Yes, I'll take it, but I'll need someone to deliver it directly to my house.""Okay, I have a discount here, let me calculate for you...""You can do the calculation, just let me know the final price and I'll send you a check.""Okay, Mr. Adams, so you're planning to use this coffin...""Oh, I plan to use it for taking naps, because I find it more comfortable than my sofa at home.""Um...okay."Pierre walked up to Karen and his gaze fell on Eunice:"Congratulations, Miss, you have chosen an excellent partner. I believe in the future, you will be grateful and wise for your current choice."Eunice smiled modestly and said, "I will."Pierre then turned to Karen, took the initiative to give her a hug, and patted her back with force: "Sorry, I went straight to bed after going back yesterday.""I understand, it's okay.""Yeah, is there a party today?""It's Eunice's birthday.""Oh, I see." Piajie straightened his tie and then pointed to himself with both hands. "So, I..."Karen didn't say anything.Piajie blinked, then blinked again;Karen still didn't say anything.Eunice spoke up, "Mr. Adams, may I have the honor of inviting you to my birthday party?""Oh, of course, of course, I would be delighted." After finishing speaking, Piajie rolled his eyes at Karen."This is my uncle, Mason." Karen made a formal introduction to Eunice."I'm sorry, Miss Eunice. Last time when you and your mother visited our house, we happened to be out playing. I'm really sorry.""It's okay, you're being too hard on yourself.""I'll take you to meet my aunt and cousin."Karen took Eunice's hand and went upstairs. When they reached the second floor, Aunt Mary and cousin had already taken off their aprons and wiped their hands, standing there with smiles on their faces."This is Aunt Mary.""Hello, Aunt Mary.""Hello." "This is Aunt Winnie.""Hello, Aunt.""Hello."Aunt Mary said busily, "Dinner will be ready soon, we can start the feast in a while.""Thank you, Aunt and Aunt Winnie.""It's nothing, it's nothing."Maybe Karen, due to her own special reasons, didn't feel this way, and Eunice wouldn't be like this when she was a teacher, but when she faced social activities, she would naturally show the habits of attending social occasions at home.It's not that she deliberately alienated herself, but that she had always been like this before, and now she was also a little nervous.You should know that Pu'er even despised the fact that her family had fallen to the point of having to accompany the old lady of the royal family for afternoon tea;But even so, this aristocratic etiquette that permeated her bones still made Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie instinctively nervous and restrained. In Aunt Mary's opinion, Miss Eunice's aura is much stronger than any young star she has ever met before.Karen said to Eunice, "Let's go up first.""Okay.""Yes, you go up first, Mina and the others are upstairs." Aunt Mary hurriedly said.Karen took Eunice up to the third floor, where Mina, Lunt and Chris were already waiting. They are now on winter break and don't have to go to school.When Eunice came up, Mina took the initiative to greet her:"Hello, sister."Lunt also stepped forward: "Hello, teacher."Chris also stepped forward: "Hello, sister.""Karen, the gift I prepared is still in the car. I have prepared gifts for everyone, and my mother helped me choose them." Eunice said. "It's okay, let Lunt go down and get it." Karen patted her pocket, huh? It seems like the hearse key has also fallen down.At this moment, a golden retriever came up with a bunch of keys in its mouth, propped up its hind legs, stood up, and opened its mouth.Seeing that Karen didn't reach out to take it, it ran back to Lunt and directly spit out the keys in front of him, then ran back, facing Una's cute squat, sticking out its tongue."It's really well-behaved and smart." Una couldn't help but reach out and stroke the golden retriever's head.The golden retriever also smiled happily.On the windowsill next to them, the cat's face remained serious."Should we push this dog into the sea on the way to Vienna?""Or, put some poison in its dog food tonight?""Or, steal Mina and Chris's underwear and put it in its dog house?"Karen led Una to the door of Dis's study. "Duo...duo...""Come in."In the study, Dis sat there, wearing the sweater that Aunt Winnie had personally knitted for him."Grandfather." Eunice approached and greeted Dis."Mm, hello."Karen sat across from the desk with Eunice.Dis looked at Eunice and said, "I wish for you both to always be happy together.""Thank you, grandfather.""I also believe in my grandson. He is a responsible person, or more accurately, all the men in our Inmores family are responsible for their families. He is someone worth entrusting.""I feel the same way, grandfather." "I hope you can always feel this way." A gentle smile appeared on Dis's lips. "I also hope that you will always be willing to rest your head on his shoulder."Dis picked up his teacup and said, "Well, that's all I have to say. Please give my regards to your grandfather and father, and tell them that Dis Inmeres will always remember them.""Okay, Grandpa, I will pass on your message. My grandfather and father always cherish the friendship with the Inmeres family."Karen left the study with Eunice. As the study closed, Dis's smile disappeared."Actually, even if we forget, it doesn't matter."..."Okay, Grandpa, I will pass on your message. My grandfather and father always cherish the friendship with the Inmeres family."Karen left the study with Eunice. As the study closed, Dis's smile disappeared."Actually, even if we forget, it doesn't matter."...The dinner began.Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie prepared a table of Chinese food they learned from Karen. It must be said that they have learned it quite well. The initial theme was naturally to celebrate Eunice's birthday. After Eunice blew out the candles on the cake, everyone cheered. Later on, the atmosphere of the dinner became more lively. After Dis left the table, Alfred used a radio to continuously adjust various music, and everyone began to interact and dance freely. What everyone didn't notice was that Dis stood at the staircase on the third floor, listening to the noise below, and stayed there for a long time. ... When the music ended and people started to disperse, Karen went to the third floor. He saw Puerh crouched on the windowsill, looking sadly at the night sky outside. Karen reached out and touched Puerh's back. In fact, this spot on a cat, because there is more flesh and thicker fur, feels the best when touched. Puerh didn't move, allowing Karen to stroke him. "Shouldn't you be taking Eunice home?""I asked her to wait a little longer.""What's there to wait for?""Because there's still someone who hasn't had their birthday cake yet."Karen placed a whole small cake in front of Puer, with a candle on top. She used a lighter to light the candle and softly sang:"Happy birthday to you..."Looking at the birthday cake in front of him and hearing the birthday wishes in his ear, a thick mist suddenly appeared in Puer's amber-like cat eyes."Thank you,Not the evil god, Lord of the evil gods."... Last night, everyone in the family celebrated until late, and the mess in the dining room and kitchen was not cleaned up that night.In the morning, Dis, dressed in a priest's robe, walked down the stairs.At the entrance of the first floor, he saw Karen sleeping on the sofa that had been moved there.Dis walked over and reached out to wake Karen up.Karen opened her eyes and sat up."You slept here last night?""Yes, after sending Miss Eunice back, I was too tired to go upstairs, so I fell asleep here.""Don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold.""Okay, Grandpa, I understand.""After the clock strikes twelve noon, go to my study and read some books." "Okay, I understand.""Well, I'm going to the church now. The believers must be waiting for me."Dis opened the living room door and walked out.Karen stood up and stood at the door, shouting:"Grandpa, do you remember what you promised me?"Dis stopped and turned around, looking at Karen:"Your aunt and your aunt's skills, from yesterday's performance, still have some distance from you.So, I will come back and call you out of the study to make dinner.The most important thing is,As a grandfather, how can I not keep my promise to my grandson?" "Thud...thud...thud..."The church bells rang, accompanied by the hanging clock on the third floor of the Inmoleis family's house."May the merciful Lord be with you, praise the Almighty Lord.""Praise the Almighty Lord.""Praise the Almighty Lord."The believers followed Father Dis's movements and prayed, then orderly left the church, ending today's worship.Father Dis stood on the stage, packing his things.At this time, as the believers left, a group of clergy dressed in black robes began to enter from all directions;On the outskirts, there was a group of clergy dressed in red standing on the high levels of various buildings, spreading their arms and the rhythm of the formation gradually fluctuated, and began to reach a harmonious state. This is still a visible location, but in the invisible location, there is actually much more.Rasma walked up the steps, entered the church, and stepped into the center.He is the high priest of the Order of the Gods, and has a high level of authority in the secular hierarchy of the Order of the Gods.Behind Rasma, three figures have also appeared.Rasma opened his arms,The three temple elders behind him also crossed their hands in front of their chests;Outside,A group of black-robed clergy, red-robed clergy on high buildings in the distance, and in various shadows and in many unimaginable locations in the market;Everyone, also crossed their hands in front of their chests.Rasma chanted, "Praise the Order." "Praise order."The praise for order, surrounding the city of Luo Jia, seemed to clear up even the slightly gloomy sky at this moment.Dis continued to calmly tidy up the things on the table,then walked out from behind,standing in the center of the stage,with his hands crossed in front of his chest,he said:"Praise the goddess of order raised by prostitutes."
