THE GRAND STORY OF THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ADVENTURES OF BARON BRITPOP BLASTFURNACE
The Queen’s Hamlet / Meeting The King Of France
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 35
The Queen’s Hamlet
The following morning, I was taken back to the Queen’s chateau, where I waited for the Queen. She arrived with the same servants as the previous evening. Only this time, the Queen was dress as a farm girl. I was shocked.
“Good morning, Baron Blastfurnace. I trust you slept well.”
“Good morning, Your Highness. I slept soundly, thank you. The palace rooms are spectacular.”
“Indeed. It is pleasant outside, shall we go for a walk?”
“It would be my pleasure.”
We left through the rear of the chateau. After a short walk, I was greeted by a most unusual sight. A small farm village, complete with farmhouse, dairy, barn, and a mill in the shape of a lighthouse, all situated around a pond. It looked similar to many of the small hamlets of my homeland. And totally out of place amid the opulence of the palace.
“Are you surprised, Baron?”
“Indeed, I am, Your majesty.”
