Chapter IV: Inquiries
A dreamless night.
Perhaps too tired, Moon woke up from his sleep by the time it was noon. The dark green ceiling, the delicate six-pointed star pattern reminds her that what happened yesterday was not a dream.
"Learn more about this place today." She thought and quickly rolled over and got out of bed.
Tani, who heard the noise in the house, asked loudly outside the door, "Miss Moon, are you up?" ”
"Is there something wrong?" Moon didn't expect an ordinary servant to have such keen hearing. It seems that the people here are indeed not simple.
"I'll get you a wash."
"No need. I went to the bathroom by myself. "It's a little hard for Moone to get used to Tani's intimate care.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Just washing, dressing, and simply dressing up, it took a full two hours. The life of the aristocracy was truly extravagant. The tiny gems on these complicated garments still need to be checked and worn by the servants one by one, which is really time-consuming. But the newcomer Moon didn't want to arouse everyone's suspicion, so he had to endure it and let them help him dress up.
"You're so beautiful!" Looking at Moon in the mirror, Tani genuinely praised.
"Tani, let them go and prepare lunch. I want to eat that caramel milk mousse from yesterday. Remember to come back after you finish arranging, I have something to tell you. Moon said with a smile.
As soon as she heard her master's command, Tani hurried to the other servants. Because she was Moon's personal maid, she still had a high status among the servants in the castle, and after a while, Tani made arrangements and returned to Moon's room.
"Tani, sit down." Moon gestured to another crystal chair beside him.
Tani stood nervously by the side of her chair, cautiously just sat down, but jumped up in a hurry.
"Miss, I'd better stand! I'm afraid I'll break this expensive chair......" Tani explained embarrassedly, blushing.
Had she never sat down and rested in Moon's room before? Looking at Tani's nervous appearance, Moon once again felt the seriousness of the polarization in the country.
Moon didn't force her either. After all, she didn't want to break the rules here.
"Tani, I was trying to ask you, what has Rachel been up to lately?" Moon had wanted to ask Rachel what the hell he did. She was puzzled by why his status was so noble, and even the old priests in the square had ten thousand respects for him. Although his relationship with himself has not yet been clearly revealed, the fool can see that Rachel has a deep affection for Moon. Considering that he couldn't ask recklessly and directly, he had to put some Tani's words on the side.
"Rachel, he's been busy with your business lately!" Tani replied in surprise.
"My brain is ...... these days. Alas...... Tani, you know, I didn't care about Rachel a while ago......"
"My poor Miss Moon, take care of your body! Since Mr. Amber was arrested, you have been in poor health and have been suffering from insomnia all night long. Originally, the pastor wanted to calm your nerves, but you refused to see anyone.
"It's been two months since your apprentices have started classes, but I've heard that they are all practicing magic diligently and haven't stopped. Originally, Lord Rachel wanted to help you bring those two apprentices, but they studied witchcraft with you, and Lord Rachel, who only knew elemental magic, couldn't help. But those two apprentices are willing to wait until you recover before teaching them, no matter how long. ”
Apprentice? Sorcery? Could it be that Moon is already strong enough to train new magic apprentices? This is not good news. So I don't even know what magic is. And it seems that Moon should be a top wizard, not a traditional magician like Rachel.
"Also, your wine estate has been taken care of by Lord Rachel during this time. Don't worry, though, the wine estate is doing well right now. It's just ......," Tani said, spitting up.
"Did something happen?" Moon asked eagerly.
"No ......"
"Tani, I won't care what you say." Moon gently encouraged Tani to continue.
"Yes...... It was Lord Rachel and Mr. Wickhill who seemed to be getting more and more conflicted...... You know, until you fell ill, the wine estate was managed by Mr. Wickhill. Tani finished speaking, and looked cautiously at Moon. However, to her surprise, Moon was neither excited nor annoyed, but sat on the crystal chair in confusion and looked at her gently.
"Miss Moon, you've really changed." Tani still couldn't help but say.
"What?" Moon asked in a panic, she was afraid that she would be suspected. In this strange country, if she had said that she had traveled from the 21st century, she would have been arrested as a madman, and perhaps executed by a priest like Amber. She didn't want to go to God so soon.
"I mean, your temper has gotten a lot better and you're more gentle. In short, you now look like a noble and perfect empress! At this, Tani's voice also became excited.
Moon was beating wildly, and quieted.
"Miss Moon, I'm afraid Caramel Milk Mousse won't be able to bake it for you......" Another young maid stood in the doorway, carefully telling Moon.
“weishenme?” Moon was interrupted from his conversation, inevitably revealing impatience.
"I'm sorry......" The maid at the door was obviously frightened, and lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Tani walked to the door, pulled the maid out of the door, and asked in a low voice. After a while, Tani walked back to Munn's room with a sad face, and said, "Miss, there is no more mellow milk in the kitchen, and the caramel milk mousse can only be baked with this mellow milk. This kind of milk, which is only available in the Resa estate, is ......"
"And how did yesterday's mousse come out?" In fact, Moon didn't care about a dessert at all, just curious about the new name of Ressa Manor.
"That was the last time Master Rachel brought it. But yesterday it was already used up and what was left. But don't worry, I'll go to Ressa Manor to find Lord Rachel at once, and if he knows it's you who wants caramel milk mousse, he'll be glad to take it out. ”
It turned out that Resa Manor was Rachel's residence. It seems that this mellow milk is also a rare and expensive thing, not something that ordinary people can have.
"Forget it, let's change it for dessert." Moon didn't hesitate. She didn't want to provoke the man who seemed to be supreme again because of a dessert.
Tani hurried out after listening to Moon Moon's instructions.
