Chapter 2 - Something happened

  Why would Butler Sean call him at this time?

  With this in mind, Barron answered the phone.

  "Butler Sean, I'm Barron..."

  "Young master, I finally contacted you. I couldn't get through to you when I called you last night. I've asked Ramos to go to London to find you..."

  Hearing Sean Barron frowned slightly at the steward's words.

  You must know that in his memory, Butler Sean always arranged such things in a calm and orderly manner in the manor, but now, just from the tone of his words, he could hear the other party's anxiety. He couldn't help but ask:

  "What happened?"

  "Young master, you need to come back quickly. Something happened to the master and the eldest master..."

  ...

  London in May and June has the best climate here in the year. One of the times, in this city with often gloomy skies, is that the sunshine hours are relatively long and you can see more sunny times.

  It's just that at this time, Barron Cavendish didn't have much leisure and elegance to enjoy the street scenes of London.

  Because he had more important things to face, he didn't expect that he would have to face such a complicated situation just after he came to this time and space and became the son of a Duke, but before he could enjoy the life of a noble.

  After hearing from the old housekeeper that his father and eldest brother in his current body had been in a car accident, the eldest brother died on the spot, and his father had been sent to the hospital for treatment. The situation was not optimistic. As soon as he hung up the phone, he Received a call from Ramos, his full-time valet who was sent to London.

  After learning Barron's location at this time, the other party also drove over with the driver to pick up Barron as quickly as possible.

  Ordinarily, as Barron's full-time valet, Ramos should always be by his side, but Barron didn't like being followed all the time, as it would affect his rich "nightlife", so he found an excuse. Ramos was temporarily sent back to Chatsworth in Derbyshire.

  Moreover, in the new century, the lifestyles of many nobles have gradually changed. For young nobles, some traditions are not too rigid to follow, so his behavior is not too outrageous.

  "Ramos, the call Butler Sean gave me just now was too hasty and didn't explain it in too much detail. Do you have more information?"

  Sitting in this well-maintained old Rolls-Royce sedan After that, Barron tried his best to look solemn on his expression and asked Ramos, who was in the passenger seat;

  "I still don't know why my father and brother came to London together. They didn't contact me in advance..." "

  Master , it is said that the master and the eldest master had urgent matters and wanted to visit an important person, but they did not expect that they encountered a car accident on their way back... As for not contacting you before, it may be that this trip was too rushed. "

  Ramos tried his best to tell Barron what he knew. Of course, he wisely did not say some things that were inconvenient to say.

  Like why didn't they tell Master Barron in advance when they came to London this time? Well, I'm afraid it's because they are here to do very important business, and this Master Barron has never been interested in family affairs and is only addicted to pleasure... ...

  Cavendish,

  as the hereditary Duke of Devonshire The family's daily residence is Chatsworth Manor in Derbyshire.   

  This magnificent manor with more than 100 rooms was first built in 1552. During the more than 400 years from the 15th to the 19th century, it was carefully designed and constructed by many famous gardeners, making Chatsworth Manor the most beautiful in England. One of the manor houses, it is an important part of British cultural heritage.

  The entire manor covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres. It was designed by the landscaping genius Lanros Brown in the 18th century and was later renovated by 16 generations of descendants. The interior decoration is magnificent.

  And Chatsworth is extremely famous throughout British history. Queen Mary of England was imprisoned here; the prototype of the Darcy family in the world-famous book "Pride and Prejudice" is Chatsworth!

  "Master, we will be home soon."

  Following the words of the full-time valet Ramos, Barron looked through the car window and saw the magnificent manor buildings against the river, standing like velvet carpets all around. The green grass and scattered trees make it look like a scene from a movie.

  When the car stopped at the door of the manor house, Ramos got out and opened the door for Barron.

  At this time, Barron was wearing a very formal tuxedo, a vest and a white shirt. They were all custom-made by famous designers. After careful tailoring, Barron's straight and well-proportioned figure was perfectly outlined, making everyone who saw him All the people couldn't help but cheer secretly.

  This is the tradition of the old aristocrats - when he was in Barron's hotel, even at such an emergency moment, Ramos still did not forget to bring his set of clothes and let him change before setting off.

  "Master Barron, it's really great that you can come back."

  At this time, the servants stood in two rows at the door of the villa, and the one at the front was Sean, the steward of the Cavendish family. . At this time, he spoke to Barron with a solemn face and a low voice, and even if he tried to restrain his expression, he could still feel the deep sadness in his eyes.

  Barron took a look at the more than twenty servants standing in two rows behind Butler Sean, and secretly picked up the numbers one by one from the memory of his predecessor - of course not everyone had the impression, but there were two of them. Three unfamiliar faces.

  "Butler Sean..."

  Nodding to the butler, Barron said:

  "Sorry, I haven't recovered from the shock yet. I want to go to the hospital to see my father first. I don't know how he is doing now. "..."

  "Master, Master, he..."

  Butler Sean's eyes immediately turned red when he heard Barron's words. His lips trembled, he took a deep breath, and said slowly:

  "While you were still on the way, At that time, sad news came from the hospital..."

  ...

  The aristocratic history of the Cavendish family can be traced back to 400 years ago, and for more than 300 years, with the title of Duke of Devonshire, this family can be said to have The family has left a deep imprint on British history. Many politicians and scientists have appeared in their family, including the British Prime Minister.

  But on this day in 2002, the whole family ushered in the saddest moment...

  Because of a car accident, not only this generation, the 12th generation His Excellency the Duke of Devonshire, and his eldest son died one after another, but also The 82-year-old Mrs. Devonshire, the grandmother of Barron Covendish, was also hit by the unexpected death of her son and eldest grandson and was dying.
