Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Visit to Gordon's Palace (1)

It took two hours to paint Dutch Norwey with Lucio. Lucio has looked a little tired because he has to be in the same position for that long.

"Done Mr. Norwey. Please look" said the painter.

Dutch Norwey smiled in satisfaction. Louisa and Madam Tie also came to see a smile.

"I have a little request from Mr. Derby" Dutch Norwey said

"What is it, sir?"

"I know you can cast a spell. This painting I'm sending to someone far away. Since I was about to send it through the delivery bird, can you make the size

being small to be able to carry the bird?"

"So I meant to give him a spell?"

"If you are pleased..."

"alright. That doesn't matter. What size do you want?"

"About five centimeters"

"Is there a word you want to say to the recipient?"

"Oh.. There's a "said Dutch Norwey quickly as his lips smiled then said "Scent old man, I won. You're the owner, but I own it. Let the lonely remain in loneliness, and the happy remain in happiness. Don't you come back"

"That's it?"

"really"

Derby painters began to cast spells, followed by elaborate hand gestures, Louisa tried to hear but still did not understand what the painter was thinking. A ray of light enveloped the painting, magically transforming it into a very small size. Only about five centimeters. But it does not leave the beauty of the painting itself, but as if a photo printed from a regular camera.

He then rolled it up, then gave it to Dutch Norwey. Dutch Norwey then inserted a small tube.

"Before Master" said Mr. Derby. He then raced back and as before, a glimpse of light surrounded the tube.

"Done. Later once the receiver opens the tube, the painting will return to its normal size" he said.

"Thank you Mr. Derby. Let's enjoy a cup of tea first, before my waiter takes you back"

Dutch Norwey invited Mr. Derby to tea in the backyard gazebo. While Mrs Tie, bring Louisa and Lucio back inside the house.

After lunch together, Dutch Norwey takes Louisa and Lucio to Gordon's palace in the Norwey family's horse-drawn carriage. While Louisa's horse carriage had already been sent home first.

"Remember Lucio, later in the palace that accompanies you around is the servant who helps your uncle. Your mother, despite wearing a veil, still could not freely walk around the palace. Maybe one or two people will still know him even though the appearance and attitude of the mother has changed a lot"

"Yes the ancestor"

"Remember, we're at Gordon's castle. If Cio still wants to go back to Hinom, don't make a fuss. Destinations come to the palace, just to see the look." - timpal Louisa

"I understand mama"

The horse carriage then slowly approached the palace complex. A guard came down from the horse and reported to the soldier who was standing guard. Not long after they were allowed to enter the palace complex.

The horse-drawn carriage continued its journey, and soon stopped in front of the building with the writing of the finance department.

"Let's go down" said Dutch Norwey

Dutch Norwey went down first, followed by Lucio and finally Louisa.

"Our ancestor, very broad. Does the king live here ?" ask Lucio plain.

"certain. But not in the building in front of us but the building there. See there what looks like a tower?"

"Yes... Does the King live in that tower?"

"Ha.ha... A complex with a tower. The only people who have the right to live in the tower are former kings" Dutch Norwey said.

Many things Dutch Norwey explained about the palace. Louisa just kept quiet and listened to the conversation. For some reason, Louisa does not even know the history of Gordon's castle construction while Dutch Norwey can explain it to Lucio.

"Let's go in first, see your grandfather Hubert and your uncle Merad"

"Yes the ancestor."

Soon the three entered the finance department building. Hurbert was the son of Dutch Norwey, while Merad was the son of Hurbert. The finance department is one of the most important departments, so the people who work there are dutch who still have kinship and high loyalty to the palace.

A soldier greeted them in the lobby of the building.

"really. Does he exist?"

"There's Dutch. Please"

"thank you. Come on.." he said while taking Louisa and Lucio.

Geck..

tock...

Dutch Norwey knocked on a half-opened door.

"Look in.. Father.." replied a man in his forties a little surprised at their arrival.

Inside the room were four people sitting in front of their desks.

"Grandfather." welcome a young man in his early twenties to Dutch Norwey.

"Don't act like a kid" Hubert said, seeing his son acting spoiled to Dutch Norwey.

"You can also hug me if you want" Dutch Norwey's reply made Lucio and Louisa smile.

"Who is this?" hubert asked who had just realized his father had not come alone.

"Cousin far. This is Lucio's son, he's never been to Gordon's castle. So can Rey or Kim take her around while introducing the palace?"

"It could be dad. But father knows the rules of the palace, cannot carelessly enter the interior of the residence without an invitation."

"Grandfather, I just want to see the outside. "

"Good boy. Rey, Kim go get Lucio around. If anyone asks, tell them my granddaughter came to visit to see the palace"

"Okay sir" answered both."Let's Young Master"

"Remember Lucio's mom's message?" louisa asked before the three disappeared behind the door.

Lucio just lifted his right thumb.

After the three people left, only leaving them housed in the room.

"Let's sit down first, grandfather, Madam" Merad said as he took them to their seats and poured them a glass of tea.

"Sorry before dad, dad said this sister is my cousin. But which cousin of the city branch ? Why don't I remember" Hubert asked somewhat confusedly.

"Ha.ha... This is not your distant cousin. But someone you know very well" Dutch Norwey replied.

Slowly Louisa took off her veil, revealing her real face full of smiles.

"The empress..!" both are surprised.

"Stt.." replied Louisa as she placed her index finger on her lips.

"What was..?" ask Merad

"My son." answered Louisa briefly.

"But the news I heard that dutchess hasn't remarried"

"indeed not. Lucio is the prince of Gordon. Hence he could already begin to know his palace"

"So.so.so..."

"Yes.the son of King Peter."

"Will the Ducthess return again to enter the palace?" hurbert asked with hope

"No uncle. I'm not interested, I'll just deliver Lucio"

"But Dutchess, without you the palace is a total mess. Actually concubine Natasha is quite capable. But concubine Diana always made a mess. Not to mention, His Majesty couldn't be firm on his concubine"

"Patience. soon the palace will calm down again. Isn't that Dutch?"

"I hope so. I sent you a message, I hope the old man comes soon"
