Chapter 812: Château d'or Vicomte-4
" Let me give you a tour. You can meet young master when he returns." Lucie ended their small little introduction session and began showing them around.
With one look anyone could tell the castle was huge but they didn't fully understood the extent of it until they made their way inside. The high ceiling with expensive decoration that matched the medieval french era along with some newer installments, was a true mismatch.
It didn't look out of place and even made the whole room feel alive. The huge chandelier in the living room with a massive staircase leading to upper floors was shocking at first glance. Lucie first let them explore the ground section.
It had it's own kitchen, few guest rooms, entertainment venues, two humongous halls for holding parties and a private bar. They only covered one fifth of the place but it was already making everyone dizzy.
The left section had a massive indoor pool with automatic heating, a spacious patio where they could lie around to get skin tan as well as a sauna and cold plunge. The whole thing opened to a back garden with many flowers blooming, there was also few green houses which were currently empty were people could grow their own food.
A massive jacuzzi, a artificial hot spring and many other amenities that they never heard of. The whole section was closed off for privacy reason.
They didn't explore upstairs before Lucie took them to different facilities like a abandoned stable and the service building where there were more things to upkeep one's beauty like spa, massage parlour where one could make appointment and even a dining space where they could request anything.
Famous chefs were contracted under the previous owner from all around the world in this way he and his family could enjoy various cuisines twenty four seven but Samuel thought that it was a little wasteful.
No one would be living here full time so these chefs would only be sitting here not doing anything. He asked Lucie to cut off many such facilities and gave the previously employed people proper job opportunities in Rothschild family's many business around the world. They could work in their home town and receive similar pay which was a win win situation for everyone.
" Miss Lucie, I see that you are showing the guest around." Suddenly an old man popped out of no where. He had a lot of wrinkles on his face but his back was straight as he bowed slightly giving off a professional vibe.
" Girls, this is the head butler of this place, Henri. If you needed anything you can look for him, he knows this place inside out and had been serving under the previous owner for decades." Lucie formally introduced him to everyone.
Henri wore a sleek suit with a flashy bow tie and white gloves. What made it surprising was that he carried himself well even wearing such a ridiculous suit at least that's what others thought when they looked at him.
" It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You are the first guest in a while so I will try my utmost to satisfy your every need." He spoke fluent english without any accent. Lucie did inform that there were also some russian guest which he quickly identified, he was also fluent in Russian so there was no need for Genevieve to intervene.
" We will be in your care." They also reciprocated his gesture purely on instinct. There was something about him that drew in people.
" Have you met the boss yet?" Lucie asked.
" No, I was busy informing the staff and just came out to look for him but I can see that he is not here."
" He is taking the little princess around to explore."
" Alright, I will leave you be then." Henri took few steps back and turned around to go look for Samuel. Before guest he needed to attend to the owner of this place, it was first time they would meet which made them a little nervous because unlike others he knew who actually bought this place.
" Is that young man really the owner of this place?" While Lucie was showing them around, Alana became more curious about the strange young man.
" Of course." Lucie commented without hesitation.
" I think what she is trying to say that whether he comes from a wealthy family. I mean, from what I can tell that he is still in his twenties, isn't it hard to make that kind of money without his family's help?" Roberta clarified Alana's question.
" What's that had to do with us? Can't you just explore and enjoy this place?" Genevieve didn't think it was right for them to poke into other people's business especially someone that can threaten someone like Alain.
" Are you really that curious?" Lucie faced them to see that even Helga and Katarina were curious about her boss' identity.
" Alright, who the richest person that you know off? You can pick someone from your home country or someone you know from other countries."
" That's easy, as someone from mexican heritage we all know the name of mexican that's been making a wave recently for surpassing the richest man in the world, Carlos Slim!" Roberta said with a proud expression. Seeing her fold her arms, it accentuated her gorgeously buxom, sultry and voluptuous figure, Samuel would surely compliment her devilish appearance.
" Same, I partially work in financial sector so I too have heard of the explosive news." Alana went with Roberta's answer.
" I am going with Mr Bernaut, even if the rumours are all over the place recently but he is still someone I look up to!" Genevieve clapped thinking it all as a game of wealthy.
" What about you two?" Lucie turned to Helga and Katarina.
" I don't know much about it." Katarina wasn't aware of such things. Her life was too hard for her to care about such minor things.
" Vladimir Lisin, I heard that he is very rich." But Helga remembered someone mention about the recent rising oligarch.
" I am aware of all of them and their listed wealth varies from fifty billion to fifteen billion. They might be hiding some more wealth but it wouldn't matter. I can't really give you a full answer because you have to ask young master but I can tell you that these people are nothing in front of true wealthy people." Lucie said with a smile.
The five of them first saw her look through her phone to report various outrageous wealth number but hearing that they were nothing in front of young man honestly made them silent. Instead of scaring them, their inner curiosity were ignited. Not because of money but because they felt an urge to know who this mysterious young man was!
