Chapter 7 (1/2)
Chapter-7 Woman that can turn everything upside down(1)
—————————————————————
After returning back to the Asian mountains, large group of knights disbanded on the spot to have some rest. Mo Lee however leading Xiao Li Cha, entered the black rose castle. He settled down in the guest room situated outside the fort. Soon after that, two young maids brought new clothes and accessories, and filled the wooden cask inside the bathroom with hot water. Ge Dun Marquis arranged the meeting with Li Cha at the time of dinner. Before that, he would have to take a bath, change clothes and rest properly
After quickly taking bath and changing clothes, Li Cha lied down on the bed and rested for an hour. Although the fatigue from climbing up the long road still exists, but he is unable to calm down the rumpus in his head. As he was bathing, two maids were present from the beginning till the end. Entire process went without Xiao Li Cha even lifting a finger. Actually, he already tried refusing and struggling, but he was easily suppressed by the maids. Their body was beautiful and delicate, however their strength was even greater than that of the village chief. Xiao Li Cha was completely subdued, left without any capability to resist and then tidied up completely by the maids from head to toe. Even the roots of hair and cracks of ear were completely washed by them.
Surface area of Li Cha’s room was not that big, however it was five meters high. At the height of three meters, there was a tall and narrow window receiving the daylight from outside. The wall was made up of quartz. It hasn’t gone through special polish, preserving the original style of the time when it was mined. Wall was decorated by a tapestry of sword and s.h.i.+eld. Tapestry was deep darkish red in colour. For some reason Li Cha felt that it’s red colour is just like dried up blood. Room was completely dark. If illumination from the torch is not used, vision would be fuzzy even in the noon. Lying on the bed, Xiao Li Cha only felt a kind of thick damp atmosphere emitted out by floor, wall and every corner of the room. However in Xiao Li Cha’s veins, fire was surging. Of course, fire of being played around by the two maids. At that time they were even secretly laughing, quick witted Li Cha obviously knew what they were interested in.
Interweaving of damp and fire was causing Li Cha’s head to be even more distressed. From the moment he departed from Lu Se Lan village. No, even before that, from the beginning of enlightenment ceremony, everything existing just feels like a dream and the world is looking extremely unreal. Amidst this confusion, a sound of knocking of the door came through. Dinner’s time has finally arrived.
Destination is the dining hall within the fort which requires to cover a long distance from the guest room. Following closely behind the guiding maid, Xiao Li Cha’s only impression of it was big and dark. Everything was exceedingly tall, up to the extent that just illuminating the long and complicated pa.s.sages was not enough to cover every corner, thus leaving behind large stretches of shadows, swaying reflections and areas where vision is completely incapable to penetrate through the darkness. As for the already crossed outdoor section, light and shadow shot down by the branches and leaves of the thick vegetation was distorting the line of sight even more, causing people to shudder involuntarily.
It felt like there is a kind of faint breeze diffused everywhere in the castle, lingering all around his body and nagging him at his every step. Causing him to feel rejection and uncomfortable feeling from the bottom of his soul, a kind of feeling which couldn’t be described by words.
Dining hall really isn’t the biggest dining room inside the fort of Black Rose castle, however on scale, it still attains the Duke level.15 meters high hall was extremely gloomy. Even though it was filled with torches, illuminating the painting placed on the wall of the domed roof was still hard. Dining table’s length was 20 meters. Li Cha’s whole body was covered with the attire of a n.o.ble boy as he was sitting upright at one head of the dining table. Separated by a table that can allow to serve meal for thirty people at the same time, he and his father looked at each other distantly.
His father was a man possessing an exotic charisma. An ever smiling face, hair combed in a way that not even a single thread was out of place and a must have short thick mustache. Time had left behind a tiny un.o.bservable mark on his face in form of a little wrinkle raised from the corner of the eye. A pair of clear blue eyes, causing the people who look into them to lose perception. He was sitting comfortably as he was slicing the roasted meat in a practised manner. Eating very quickly while occasionally taking a sip of red wine. There was a kind of exotic rhythm in his movements. In fact, even if someone mastering in etiquettes is present on the scene, he would be unable to find any error in his movements whatsoever. He was eating very quickly as well as in very large quant.i.ty. It was difficult to predict, just how many kilograms of meat had been already disappeared in an interval of few breaths by the means of his graceful eating.
He is an exceptionally graceful and charismatic man, Li Cha has no choice but to admit this point, even though he wants to throw the dish in the silver plate on his face.
Later, he will understand more deeply that the people who wish to throw something on the face of Ge Dun Marquis are not few.
And at present, Xiao Li Cha is enduring, not for his own, but for his mother. Even now, he doesn’t understand the meaning behind his mother’s desire. However determination, patience and wisdom will allow him to understand the deepest meaning of this desire not too far in the future.
Li Cha was trying hard to sit straight and deal with the food using some clumsy movements. There was a sumptuous feast present before him. Delicacies of the big kitchen of the Black Rose castle are famous all over, prepared by the best chefs and bakers of the entire peninsula. However, Li Cha couldn’t tell the taste of the stuff inside his mouth. He never learned etiquette, one look at the way he is holding fork and knife and you can tell that he is from country side. He has no idea about various customs of dining with the n.o.bles. However, he was looking extremely beautiful in changed clothes. His unenthusiastic and stagnant temperament was somewhat similar to Ge Dun. Maids were entering and leaving like running water, and a lot of them were aiming at Xiao Li Cha. Xiao Li Cha is already is already considered to be a teen, and again in span of two years probably, he will have the charisma of a man.
After gracefully and miraculously putting end to over twenty kilograms of meat, Ge Dun cleaned his mouth with a snow white napkin and then smiled. His mouth was very big, he exposed a row of snow white teeth which were so bright that it was somewhat dazzling, as he smiled.
“ You are Li Cha ”
Li Cha only nodded, didn’t utter a voice. By the tone of voice used by Ge Dun, it was obvious to him that Ge Dun’s question doesn’t need any reply.
Ge Dun smilingly said “ You are very lucky, because your surname is Archimonde. You are also very unlucky, similarly because your surname is Archimonde”
This time Li Cha raised his head. While confronting Ge Dun’s gaze, he firmly said “ I am Li Cha. “
Ge Dun’s vision was clear as water, but not many people could confront him face to face. However Li Cha’s head was raised, not retreating in the slightest amount.
Ge Dun was smiling before, but afterwards he said with a sigh ‘’ Your personality resembles very closely with your mother. However she didn’t said that your name is Li Cha Yue Ge. Did she?”
It seemed like a question, however as before it was said in a manner of telling.
