Chapter 727: Chapter 0728: Housekeeper Eugene [First Update]

Sitting in this luxurious Bentley Bentayga SUV, Ye Qiu found it extremely comfortable, feeling no bumps at all, even though they were still on the roads within the estate.

While in the car, Zhou Wenting and Louise were still whispering to each other, and Ye Qiu’s gaze turned outside the estate, where he could still see several castles nearby in the distance.

But just like at night, Ye Qiu felt as if a dark shadow was looming over the castles.

They left Count Charley’s estate and castle and headed towards the place where they had come by train.

Once they arrived at the train station by car, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting picked up their backpacks, and Louise gathered her things as well. The driver opened the door for the three of them to alight, after which Ye Qiu said to the dedicated driver, "Please thank Count Charley for me."

Now, entering the train station, they were ready to take the train and the high-speed rail directly. They should be able to arrive by three or four in the afternoon. Taking out his passport and getting the train tickets, Zhou Wenting let out a sigh of relief, feeling that she had really left that somewhat frightening place.

Just, she wondered if visiting Ye Qiu’s castle would also give her that same feeling?

While on the train, similar to their previous journey, they saw many Caucasians, Africans, and Asians, with a large number of tourists from various countries.

Having found business class seats, they could sit by a window and look out at the scenery.

During lunchtime, the train offered a variety of fast food options, which, unlike the expensive yet ordinary boxed meals back in Huaxia, were much better.

They also provided various desserts.

After Ye Qiu, Louise, and Zhou Wenting finished the fast food provided on the train, they rested for a couple of hours, and soon arrived in Dole, a small city near Ye Qiu’s Eastern Castle.

Upon disembarking at the train station, Ye Qiu had thought about arranging transportation, but to his surprise, he already saw a middle-aged French man who looked like a housekeeper waiting outside.

Seeing Louise and Ye Qiu approach, the man quickly came over and greeted the three of them, "Viscount Ye Qiu, Viscountess Louise, Miss Zhou, I am Eugene, the housekeeper of Eastern Castle."

Eugene seemed very enthusiastic, as he had been managing the seaside castle and surrounding estates for Count Charley before.

However, now that the castle belonged to Ye Qiu, he wondered if Ye Qiu would no longer require his services.

If Ye Qiu no longer needed him, he would have to find work at another of Count Charley’s castles or look for a new job elsewhere.

"So it’s Housekeeper Eugene."

Louise greeted first.

Ye Qiu nodded at him and got into the Citroën sedan Eugene had driven there, which must have been the housekeeper’s own car for personal use.

Of course, it was not as comfortable as the luxury cars driven by Count Charley’s dedicated drivers.

But for Ye Qiu, it was certainly more comfortable than a taxi, if only because it was free of any alien smells.

"Viscount Ye Qiu, because there are no other vehicles at Eastern Castle, I had to come in this one to pick you all up," Eugene said.

"I understand," Ye Qiu responded.

Eugene was quite surprised that Ye Qiu, dressed quite ordinarily and now the owner of Eastern Castle, could actually speak very fluent French.

Without any language barrier, for Eugene, nothing could be better.

Moreover, he knew that as an excellent French housekeeper, one always served the master rather than expecting the master to adapt to the housekeeper.

Eugene was even considering whether he should enroll in a Chinese language course.

However, learning Chinese was different from learning English or German, and it might require a significant effort to pick up. But if Ye Qiu spoke French, then everything would be fine.

All the way, Housekeeper Eugene focused on driving, while Ye Qiu gaze was toward the scenery outside the car window.

He found that the European landscape was much more beautiful than that in his own country. From the trees and lawns outside to the overall European-style architecture, it was probably due to the planning that he felt things here were quite enchanting.

Most importantly, the small towns and villages here didn’t have a dense population. Most of the French population was concentrated in large cities, so the small villages were mostly composed of European-style villas.

Of course, he occasionally saw some castles, which belonged to other people.

After driving for about an hour and a half, when Ye Qiu could already see the Atlantic Ocean, he knew he wasn’t far from Eastern Castle.

"Viscount Ye Qiu, that castle up ahead is Eastern Castle."

Eugene introduced.

Because Count Charley usually resided at Charley’s grand castle in the south of France, this was still a property previously owned by Count Charley.

However, Count Charley hardly came here more than once or twice a year. When he did visit, it was usually just to have a cursory look at the estate before leaving.

When Eugene parked the car and Ye Qiu opened the door to get out, Louise and Zhou Wenting got out of the car.

With the view of the distant Atlantic Ocean and a glance around at the estate’s sloping lawns and vineyards, suffused with the sight of the castle.

This area was probably all belonging to Ye Qiu now!

Housekeeper Eugene first drove the car in, then came out to lead Ye Qiu inside.

Because European agricultural technology was very advanced and mostly mechanized, there was no need for a large rural workforce to engage in farming as in his home country.

So here, besides the lone housekeeper, there were two maids who usually took care of the big castle and a coachman for the horses. As for managing the estate, there were also three other servants, two gardeners, and one very old servant whom Count Charley had already allowed to retire.

Therefore, due to the small number of people, Ye Qiu’s castle and estate might seem all the more desolate.

Of course, when Ye Qiu saw Eastern Castle, which was only about thirty meters high and had about six floors, built out of large stones, he learned that it was erected at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. The construction of the castle had involved a massive amount of resources and manpower from the Charley family and had taken nearly seven to eight years to complete.

Just as Housekeeper Eugene was leading the three of them into the castle, those two maids, actually also in their forties and rural Frenchwomen, were unlike the young maids at Count Charley’s place; the coachman seemed to be over fifty years old, and the three other servants were aged between forty and fifty. The gardeners, responsible for the lawns and flower beds, were in their thirties. Now, these were the people present.

These individuals knew that the castle had been renamed and had a new owner, but they did not expect the new owner to be the young Huaxia man before them.

"This is Viscount Ye Qiu, the owner of Eastern Castle. Have you not greeted Viscount Ye Qiu?"

Housekeeper Eugene said to the servants.
