Chapter 517 - Already Settled In
After Sevenz confirmed that he would be accompanying Prince Draco to the Roschester fief, he left the Royal Palace grounds while maintaining his secrecy just like when he had arrived.
Around the same time, the Red Scorpion knights had already begun their training camp after reaching the Tanner fief which took them a whole day's worth of traveling.
On the other hand, the little girl of the St. Claire family and their entire entourage was still on their way to the fief which belonged to them.
The journey wasn't too arduous for them as they were used to embarking on this trip at the same time each year.
However, the long procession of carriages had certainly attracted a lot of attention along the way as by now, everyone in the Capital was aware that the St. Claire family was on its way to their fief.
The people inside the carriages had no idea that their departure had caught the eye of so many people along the way but this did not matter to them.
With Butler Limo in charge of their itinerary, they had nothing to worry about as he paid attention to their comfort.
They had frequent halts as they were in no hurry to get to the St. Claire fief and even stayed the night in an inn before they began their journey once again the next morning.
It took them precisely two whole days to get to their ancestral mansion in their fief due to these stops along the way but no one complained about it.
After all, the kind butler had prepared their itinerary to ensure their comfort during the journey which he had achieved as well.
Thus, after two days, when their entourage finally reached their destination, everyone was well-rested and without fatigue which they often faced while making this journey.
Rutherford was impressed with his Butler and the nod the old man received was enough payment for the hard work he had done to make this possible.
Once everyone had alighted from the carriages, the servants present in the summer estate all gathered to welcome their masters and the rest of the staff who had arrived with them.
Yvonne smiled at the familiar faces she knew and walked inside with the rest of her family.
Though an excess number of servants had followed them on this journey, there would be no problem as the servant quarters in this estate was more than large enough to accommodate them all at once.
Not to mention that the changes she had asked her father to make to this estate would also aid them in the near future.
With their arrival, the estate had become lively once again and the servants here had begun preparations to serve their masters with all their hearts.
The servants who had come from Amarthea were sent to the servant quarters to rest for a while while the servants here would take care of everything for them.
After all, this was supposed to be a vacation for them as well so the servants of this mansion would not make them work too hard and let them rest for as long as they wished.
However, the servants from Amarthea requested to help out with the chores which the Old Butler of this mansion agreed reluctantly.
Right now, the little girl was back inside her bedroom in this mansion.
Her clothes had been changed and she had already freshened up after their journey.
Demon was sent to the same stable that had been prepared for him and Butler Limo with Jax had gone to make sure that he had settled in without any troubles.
This thought made the little girl chuckle as Roselie combed through her hair.
'There are three butlers in this mansion now.' She snickered while twirling a strand of her hair around her index finger.
The old butler, Butler Limo, and Jax were present in the same house to serve them well.
The three butlers served three generations of the children of the St. Claire family.
The old Butler was the confidante of Grandpa St. Claire and had served the previous Earl from the days of his youth until the day he died.
Butler Limo served Rutherford with all his heart ever since he had been rescued by the current Earl.
Finally, Jax was a loyal subordinate to Yvonne after she had given him an offer to change the path which he was walking on until now.
Not to mention that each was taught by the one before him.
The old Butler had taught Butler Limo who then taught Jax everything there is to know about being a competent butler.
'Jax learned under both of them.' The little girl recalled that her Butler had the best of both worlds as he had two mentors who taught him well.
"Miss, you can rest for now. We shall come back when it is time for lunch." Mrs. Jacinth informed after she had unpacked and arranged the luggage that belonged to her Miss inside this room.
Yvonne nodded her head as she walked to her bed and sat upon it while the two maids walked out of the room.
Demon was taken care of by Jax and Butler Limo, her family was also resting and she had no other task to accomplish right now.
Therefore, she chose to nap for a while as the warm bath she had just taken was making her drowsy.
Laying in bed, she tossed aside all her thoughts to get some much-needed rest.

By the time Yvonne woke up again, everyone inside this estate had already settled in and gotten adjusted to the new environment.
The Old Butler had been informed about the servants who would accompany their masters and hence had prepared their rooms in advance.
The stables were prepared for the horses who would be coming with them and also for Demon.
Finally, the chefs had already bought enough rations to allow them to cook meals for everyone without falling short in any aspect.
Therefore, during lunch, everyone had high praise for the chef who had prepared their first meal inside this mansion this year.
They would be staying here for over three weeks so everything had already been arranged so that no shortage or discomfort might arise for their Masters and the other servants.
Once lunch had come to an end, Rutherford took his family for a walk around their mansion.
Since this place did not have a training ground like the one in Amarthea, Rutherford had ordered a small area to be allocated to Howard and Yvonne for their training each morning.
To reach the area which they desired to visit, they passed through the side of the mansion where this make-shift training ground was arranged for the children.
Howard was all smiles as he checked the equipment before they headed to their main destination.
Their destination was the back garden which was behind the mansion.
Glancing around this garden, Yvonne realized that it was just as beautiful as the first time that she had set her eyes upon it.
The trees were large, their branches filled with wide green leaves.
The grass below was lush and the bushes of red roses around them was a pretty sight to behold.
Raylene loved this place and it was safe to say that so did Yvonne considering how her face had a wide smile as she glanced around the area.
Howard and Rutherford smiled after noticing theirs and the family spent some quality time in the garden before they moved along on their walk.
Rutherford had been leading them around the mansion as the first place they visited was the side where the training area was, then came the backyard with the beautiful garden and now they had arrived at the other side of the mansion.
Howard's eyes widened at what he saw ahead of him as this had not been present the last time that they had visited this summer estate.
"When did you get this done, Father?" He inquired but Rutherford remained silent while glancing at his daughter.
This prompted the young boy to turn towards his sister who had already run ahead to take a closer look at what was before them.
"Vonny, was this your idea?" Howard asked once he caught up with his baby sister who had grown taller over the last few months that he had been away from home due to his classes at the Royal Academy.
In answer, Yvonne turned around and displayed her widest smile as she nodded her head.
"Do you like it?" She inquired and tilted her head, waiting for his response.
