" My father was crazy about exploring the continent and traveling around. He wrote about the plants, animals and all living forms of life he could find out information about. At that time we were still a happy family." A tiny smile appeared on his face. But as it appeared, it quickly was exchanged with sadness." Mother and I traveled around the country together with him. We were neither poor or rich. We had some gain for his researches as the past King gave him money to send all the information he gathered. Like that we were quite supported by the kingdom. He would write down about all the specimens on our way. Some new arts or new lifeforms he would collect and send to the King. The Palace had more people like my father that liked observing such things. Sigh..." He traveled around the cities and small settlements, mountains, hills, forests, visited seaside and lakes. And that all together with his parents. That time was happiest in his life.
His mother never complained about the way of living. She learned how to live from little and from simple lifestyle. Her cooking at the beginning was horrible, but when she saw her husband eating her half-burned buns as they were something most delicious thing he ever ate, she promised herself to learn real cooking.So with time her skills became so good that even the King, that visited them one day, asked her to become a cook in the Palace. But she looked at her husband and respectfully gave up on that. " Sire, if I come with you, this person will probably starve to death. He forgets even what time of the day it is. Once I went to visit a friend for a day, he forgot to eat what I prepared and only when I came back he ate. What would happen if I am not around him longer than that? "
The King smiled at that time looking at the loving couple. " I understand. Stay by his side. I spoke to n.o.bles and they accepted my proposal to give you n.o.blesse name. What do you think of Williams? From today you are Sir and Lady Williams of Green Cap. I think you will like it there. Its small place, but I am sure you will able to live there comfortably." He explained to them that n.o.bles accepted that as Green Cap was a mysterious place that not many people far d to live as it had many strange creatures. Sir Williams smiled brightly as he looked at his wife for confirmation.
Actually, she was the one in the house that took care of everything and gave orders around. Even he listened to her as he realized how smart she really is in many things she did. She patted his hand and with smile agreed. He turned his s.h.i.+ny eyes at the startled King. " Sire, we accept your proposal. We shall go to that place and become part of the people you could count on.
He scrambled to say something, anything, as his head was already in the treasure hunt for new species. To think he could do better research on species made him already ally fuzzy. He already had all kinds of plans he could do while his wife shook her head with a big smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting." Sigh, thank you, Sire, for giving us such an amazing present. I"m really sorry about his words, the moment he can research something his mind gets off track and then he just mutters unrelated stuff. Thank you..." She bowed deeply in front of her King that gave her family stable security. So she thought. If she knew that at that time even the King didn"t have an idea about the things that were there...
The transfer to the place they should live, took them almost five weeks. In the dawn of the day, they arrived at a picturesque place. They pa.s.sed huge dark forest and with the first light of a day they saw beautiful place showing in front of them.From the nearby mountain came the waterfall and the small river gave nice refres.h.i.+ng feeling at such hot time of year. The small river slowly wiggled between rocks and trees and connected to a beautiful lake. Near the lake was small village made of small clean houses with lots of flowers around them and they all were turned towards the lake.
As they pa.s.sed last trees they could see a group of villagers waiting for them with big smiles on their face. When the caravan stopped and they descended from their carriage the villagers welcomed them happily. The older people bowed deeply and children came forward to give them bunch if flowers as welcoming gift." Thank you all for welcoming us. I and my wife are actually simple people. Please be comfortable with us and if there is something we could help with, we will try to do so. Of course, accept going to King and ask for anything from the n.o.bles. Sigh... I just small n.o.ble and have no power, but I still hope we can live happily from now on together."
He hugged his wife and son while he spoke humbly. Actually, the villagers were bit worried that the kingdom would send them one of those pretentious and crazy n.o.bles. But seeing this simple and humble man made them like this family even more.One the older woman came forward and bowed in from of them. " Welcome to our small village. We are simple people. All we want yo live is a peaceful, happy and healthy life. We don"t look for riches. As long we have enough food on the table and roof over our heads, we are happy. As you can see, we live near the sea. It gives us enough fish to eat and we dry some, sell some. We have fields that give us enough food. So we are happy. We left you enough good land for you and your people. I hope you will like your place."
She looked at the small family and couple soldiers that were sent by the King to help them settle in the village and go back. They didn"t have any servants or helpers. The old woman sighed and looked at a few young people and with motion if her eyes they rushed to help out. As they took their packages out the carriage and wore them to a nearby house, they realized that these n.o.bles were seriously simple people that had only basic stuff in their bags. That made them feel a bit sorry for them and pushed themselves to open their heart even more towards new owners of this place.
The new owners seem to be simple and kind people, luckily...
