Chapter 38 – Castle Calypse (2)
Rodrigo sighed lightly
“It seelect, the Lord seeotten a haven beyond nests of er Castle—such things are probably trifle to him”
Max inwardly vowed to herself that it wouldn’t stay such The bland room before her will co one of the the most coveted banquet halls in the continent nobility would fight tooth and nail only to gain an invitation to the elusive castle Calypse
“P-please call the m-merchants as soon as possible,” she said, a resolution in o nodded fiercely, he could feel her determination and that iuest rooms next, both quarters almost no different frouest roo with its basic but dull furniture Each room was equipped with sturdy beds and clean co thefor whatever the occupant h to scrutinize in the simply decorated room, so they continued down to the first floor to check the servants’ quarters
“The , and the round floor so that they can always respond to their , you only need to ring the bell in the rooht away—even in the o, castle Calypse only eargantuan fortress, the grounds and moats around Yet, on the other hand,that the owner had left it e time
Different faces passed by before her as she was introduced by Rodrigo to so with nuet in the next day, they continued their tour towards the castle’s kitchen Unlike the former rooms that were dead and cold, the enormous kitchen was the opposite—it are fireplace on the left wall, the flah to be used as a bath Evenover the open oven fire under the vent, or perhaps ither focus on the latter
Her still, standing fraainst the shuffle of feet of the busy servants orking tirelessly So s dishes, bowls stacked in heaps near the sink
“The kitchen is the busiest place in the castle The servants have no tiuards to eat And because of the shortage of workers, almost all the servants of the castle have to be equipped on the kitchen whenever lunch or dinner approaches”
“S-so that’s e didn’t s-see the servants in the o-other rooms…”
She swore to tell Riftan that he had to hire more servants
“Would you like to see the annex now?”
When she nodded, Rodrigo led her outside
Iarden greeted her A lonely tree stood next to an unround the weeds that grew on the flower beds
She furrowed her eyebrows Even if the Great Hall is considered as the Lord’s pride, the gardenthe entrance to thethat guests see, there should be an exorbitant, stunning display of flowers enough to blind the i she could be confident about was her eye for landscaping—it had been her father’s passion and thatit on her as well
‘Even if I can’t do that much this season, at the very least I should et ridiculed’</eardener?”
“The servants take turns cleaning the yard and garden… but there are no official gardeners and landscape architects”
Rodrigo replied, wiping his forehead laced with cold sweat
Max knew the servants were not to blame It was usually the responsibility of the Lord and his Mistress to furnish the castle Since Riftan had been on a lengthy expedition, the ement should have fallen to her hands as his wife… Yesterdays accusations her husband had thrown at her suddenly flooded her mind like an inclement torrent
“S-show me the annex, please”
“Yes,Rodrigo’s instructions, they walked past the gray garden and along the small ay on the left side of the Great Hall Old oak trees provided the heat
“The annex was the primary residence of the late Sir Anatol’s clan, but now it has been re for apprentices”
Max tilted her head curiously “D-does castle C-calypse have a-a lot of apprentice k-knights?”
“There are about thirty After the Lord becaht Cohters to train under his tutelage Upon the end of their apprenticeshi+p, they are initiated as hts”
The butler, as leading the way, suddenly halted in his steps They stopped close to a wide, open field at the end of the path Boys, barely considered adults with their faces reflecting their youth, were all lined up, each of the a wooden sword that looked hare
“Oh, it’s the hour for training,” he then turned to her, asking for opinion “What shall we do, reet the apprentices?”
“Oh, no… I d-don’t want to d-disturb them We can c-come back later…”
Sudden embarrassment sprout inside her fro Riftan’s broad shoulders as he stood raht her eye
“I guess the Lord was overseeing the training”
The butler also found hi under the shade of the tree and said in a tense voice
“I believe it’s a good idea to go back,training sessions”
“Oh, then let’s go”
She hoped the disappointment wasn’t evident in her voice As she turned back to the castle at Rodrigo’s request, she felt the farab her delicate wrist
