"My darling has arrived!"
"Ahhh~~ I can't believe he's finally back in the city."
(^0^)
One by one, the peasant women shyly flocked across the gates, holding hand-weaved baskets of various sorts.
From time to time, they would pretend to be strolling about or here on some business matters.
Some even lied that they had brothers and cousins working as guards here, while others came to try applying for any available positions, be it as an assistant cook or even a maid.
Yes!
With the many slaves in the estate, what chance would they have in getting these positions?
It should be noted that the peasants that did get hired were primarily put in positions that overlooked the slaves.
These peasants would be the Chief cooks, Chief maids, Head Stablemasters, Head Gardeners, etc.
That was how it has always been, not just in the estate, but almost everywhere else in the continent, and maybe the world as well.
Only a small group of peasants would get hired as the heads and controllers, ordering the slaves around and correctly instructing them on how to do their jobs.
So where did this busy estate have the chance to hire so many pleasant ladies all at once?
Heh.
The ramblings of these women were so loud that one could hear their mumbling voices from the innermost sector of the estate.
And standing beside a window was a playful-looking blond with very soft and delicate features.
He lifted his curtain, seeing far across the massive territory, settling his gaze on the estate front walls that seemed very small from this distance and height.
.
Tch.
"As expected of you, Mr. Bachelor. Your charm never ceases to fail." The 20-year-old blond man said, swiftly throwing his head behind his shoulders, staring at the famous Bachelor in the empire.
"Is it fun?"
Sebastian dawned an expressionless face, listening to his loud friend playfully mock him.
Timothy chuckled, slowly making his way back to his seat once more.
His friend might have a calm look on his face. But how long has Timothy known him?
Sebastian's cold gaze was truly terrifying. And coupled with his deep black inky hair and eyebrows, he looked like an unhinged beast.
Maybe it was because of the vibrant between his overly dark hair and his skin, but Sevastian's entire body looked like he was sculpted and christened by the heavens on a special day.
It was no wonder that many could go crazy over him, to the point of committing mass murder for his attention.
Some ladies have even commented that whenever they met his deep yet beautiful eyes, their souls would fly away just from that single look.
What a man.
And he wasn't the only one like this.
Be it his father, Grandfather, or siblings... they had a very devastating handsomeness to them that could make millions of women drop to their feet in worship.
That was how strong the Barn looks were.
.
In all his life, Timothy had never seen anyone more good-looking than Sebastian.
Maybe they did exist, but in Lingingburg Veinitta, he hadn't seen such a person.
Even the ruthless crown prince of the empire was second place in his heart when it came to handsomeness.
Amongst all the Barns here in Veinitta, it was evident that Sebastian was the most good-looking.
And it was because of this that even the unmarried royal princesses had secretly begun killing each other like crazy.
If Sevastian wanted, he would be able to rely on these women and single-handedly kill off all his enemies in the shadows without lifting a finger.
To have such good looks should be a crime!
And even his majesty had a headache because of the many people in his royal family who wanted Sebastian.
At first, he thought of engaging him with his 5th daughter, but then, a war broke out amongst the ladies... and all hell ran loose!
The ladies decided to composite fairly for Sebastian's heart.
It wasn't just them as even the mighty daughters of nobles having strong military power also stepped in.
What a joke!
Just because the princesses were royal, they could have Sebastian all for themselves?
Impossible!
Timothy chuckled, thinking of all his friend had gone through over the years.
To his friend, his handsomeness was a curse.
But many in the world would like to have such a face.
.
Speaking on the matter of handsomeness, before William's portrait was revealed, Timothy would've sworn that Sebastian was the most handsome man in the world.
But William Barn of Arcadina was also devastatingly striking, even a little more good-looking than Sebastian.
F***!
What sort of family was this Barn?
Why were they all so good-looking?
Why were the heavens so unfair to the rest of them, men?
(:T0T:)
Apart from William Barn, another cousin of his friend should be the low-life struggling ruler called Landon Barn.
If he had to rate things, he would say this Landon fellow was absolutely handsome... Even more attractive than Sebastian's brothers.
But not more handsome than William and Sebastian.
It can be said that this Landon Barn had the same level of handsomeness as his step brothers, Connor, Eli, and James.
All in all, the Barn looks were too frightening.
And one shouldn't talk about the women birthed from this lineage.
It was as though the heavens had specifically favored them to all look so good!
Timothy had to admit that though he was also considered good-looking, almost every woman would turn their attention to his friend once they saw him.
When they were young, he was brimming with jealousy deep within.
But over time, he got used to it... especially after seeing all the trouble his friend's good looks had caused him.
Tsk.
It was a Barn curse!
.
Very coldly, Sebastian raised his thick black inky brows, staring at his friend.
"If you have the time to talk, then you have the time to work."
"Ah!--... No! No! Can't I take a little break? Didn't we just arrive?"
Sebastian couldn't care less about Timothy's aggrieved expression, focusing on the document before him.
And right at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
~Knock. Knock. Knock.~
The duo looked at each other briefly before turning their attention back to the door.
5 knocks... It should be a top 4-tier guard under his command.
But he wasn't expecting any news or anything of some sort.
So why were they here?
