Why would Butler Sean call me at this time?
With this in mind, Barron answered the phone.
"Butler Sean, I'm Barron..."
"Young Master, I finally got in touch with you. I couldn't get through to you last night. I've asked Ramos to go to London to find you..."
Barron frowned slightly when he heard what Butler Sean said.
You know, in his memory, this housekeeper Sean always arranged this kind of things in the manor in a calm and orderly manner, but now, just from the tone of his voice, he could hear the other party's anxiety, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What happened?"
"Young Master, you need to come back quickly. Something has happened to the old master and the eldest master..."
…
May and June in London is one of the best times of the year in terms of climate. In this city where the sky is often gloomy, these are rare times when the sunshine lasts longer and the sun shines more often.
But at this time, Barron Cavendish did not have much leisure and elegance to appreciate the street scenes of London.
Because he had more important things to face, he did not expect that he would have to face such a complicated situation just after arriving in this time and space and becoming the son of the Duke, but before he had time to enjoy the life of a noble.
After hearing from the old butler that his current father and elder brother had been involved in a car accident, that his elder brother had died on the spot, and that his father had been sent to the hospital for treatment, and that the situation was not optimistic, he had just hung up the phone when he received a call from Ramos, his full-time butler who had been sent to London.
After learning of Barron's current location, the other party drove over with a driver to pick up Barron in the shortest possible time.
As Barron's full-time butler, Ramos should have always been by his side. However, Barron did not like being followed like this, as it would affect his rich "night life", so he found a reason to temporarily send Ramos back to Chatsworth in Derbyshire.
Moreover, as we entered the new century, the lifestyles of many nobles gradually changed. For young nobles, some traditions were not followed too rigidly, so his behavior was not too out of line.
"Ramos, the call that Butler Sean gave me just now was too hasty and he didn't explain in detail. Do you have more information?"
After getting into this well-maintained old Rolls-Royce sedan, Barron tried his best to make his expression look solemn and asked Ramos 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, I heard that the old master and the eldest master had to come to visit an important person for an urgent matter, but they didn't expect to encounter a car accident on their way back... As for why they didn't contact you before, it should be because the 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.
Just like why didn't they tell Master Barron in advance about their visit to London this time? Well, maybe it was because they came to do something very important, and Master Barron had never been interested in family affairs and was only addicted to pleasure...
…
The Cavendish family, the hereditary Dukes of Devonshire, live in Chatsworth House in Derbyshire on a daily basis.
This magnificent manor with more than one hundred rooms was built in 1552. During the 400 years from the 15th to the 19th century, after the careful design and construction by many famous gardeners, Chatsworth House became one of the most beautiful manors in England and an important part of British cultural heritage.
The entire estate covers an area of more than 1,000 acres. It was designed by the landscape genius Langlois Brown in the 18th century and later renovated by 16 generations of descendants. The interior decoration is magnificent and gorgeous.
Chatsworth is extremely famous throughout British history. Queen Mary of England was once imprisoned here; the prototype of Darcy's family in the world-famous novel "Pride and Prejudice" is Chatsworth!
"Master, we will be home soon."
Following the words of Ramos, the full-time butler, Barron looked out the car window and saw the magnificent manor building against the backdrop of the river, standing among the green grass like velvet carpets all around, and the scattered trees, it was 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, with a vest and a white shirt inside, all of which were custom-made by famous designers. After careful tailoring, Barron's straight and well-proportioned figure was perfectly outlined, making everyone who saw him couldn't help but cheer secretly.
This is the tradition of the old aristocracy - back then in Barron's hotel, even at such an urgent moment, Ramos still did not forget to bring his clothes and asked him to change before starting his journey.
"Master Barron, it's great that you can come back."
At this time, at the door of the villa, the servants stood in two rows, and at the front was Sean, the butler of the Cavendish family. At this time, he spoke to Barron in a low voice with a solemn face, and even if he tried to restrain his expression, one could still feel the deep sadness in his eyes.
Barron glanced at the twenty or so servants standing in two rows behind Butler Sean, and secretly checked their numbers one by one from the memory of his previous life - of course he didn't remember all of them, there were two or three unfamiliar faces among them.
"Butler Sean..."
Nodding to the butler, Barron said:
"I'm sorry, I haven't recovered from the shock yet. I want to go to the hospital to see my father first. I wonder how he is doing now..."
"Master, Master, he..."
When Butler Sean heard Barron's words, his eyes immediately turned red. His lips trembled, he took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"While you were still on the road, there was sad news from the hospital..."
…
The aristocratic history of the Cavendish family can be traced back to 400 years ago. For more than 300 years, they have held the title of Duke of Devonshire. This family can be said to have left a deep mark in British history. Their family has produced many politicians and scientists, including the British Prime Minister.
But on this day in 2002, the whole family faced the saddest moment...
Because of a car accident, not only the 12th Duke of Devonhill and his eldest son died in this generation, but even the 82-year-old Lady Devonhill, Barron Covendish's grandmother, was also in critical condition due to the shock of the accidental deaths of her son and eldest grandson. She passed away three days after her son's death.
It can be said that at this time, among the direct members of the Devonshire Dukedom, the eighth oldest ducal family in England, only Barron Cavendish is left.
