Chapter 35: The Hustle

When Carter's little Yule was naΓ―ve enough to believe the butler's words and was about to bow to him, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right with what the butler had told him. He knew very well in his heart that the act of leaving behind his lord's stable job and going home to take care of his father was punishable severely. On the contrary, the lord was very "magnanimous" in allowing him to take care of his father.

How could a lord, who had always been strict with himself and his servants, ignore his mistakes today? The more Yule thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he turned around suspiciously and asked the butler again, "Mr. Hader, is that really what the lord said?" ”

Bruce carefully recalled what he had just said, and he didn't think he had slipped his mouth. At this point, he had begun to suspect that Mafkat was most likely suffering from a highly contagious plague. If Carter's son enters the Asker Manor with plague-infected items, the people of the Manor will soon not be spared. A good example is Jazz's eldest daughter, Rosalind Walton.

The butler looked at the groom's son quietly, and said solemnly, "Yur, do you dare to doubt even the lord's words?" ”

Yule bowed his head and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hader, but I am absolutely loyal to my lord. I was just... I just think that why didn't the lord punish me, but would agree to me doing it. ”

"The lord has his reasons, and as for what the reasons are, I don't need you, the son of a groom, to know."

"Is it because my father is sick? It is for this reason that my God, my lord, intends to drive our family out of the Asker Manor??? ”

"Yur, the lord has not commanded such a thing. Well, you're ready to go home. ”

The more serious Bruce is, the more Yule doubts the veracity of his words. Not only did he not leave, but he trembled and said, "Mr. Hader, it must be... That's right? Suzerain... Planning to kick our family away?? ”

Bruce frowned, his poker face still unchanged, and said word by word: "Yule, I'll tell you again, the lord has no such intentions. This time, did you hear it completely? ”

"I... I hear you clearly, Mr. Harder. It's just that my work with my father... I'm afraid I won't be able to do my best. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, someone will do the work of your father and son."

On the other side of the courtyard outside the stables, Isabel is being forced to stay with two strange half-grown children. Sir Augustine's youngest child, Alfred, and Euphemia, the third, were trying to take her to the dining room to have dinner with their parents.

Alfred said excitedly: "Sister, you must tell me what God's paradise is like when you have dinner." ”

Euphemia ignores her innocent brother's fairy tales, because she knows that "going to God's paradise and staying with God" is tantamount to death. She just smiled and said next to Isabel, "Sister, I'd love to know if it was your funeral three years ago." Or is it your funeral? However, after your parents, me and Alph left sadly, some witch with magical spells rescued you from the coffin. ”

Isabelle Walton was already unwell hungry, and she wanted to finish her work on the two horses of the Jazz so that she could go to dinner. She smiled very brightly and said to Euphemia beside her, "Uh, you're Effie, right?" Then, he said to Alfred, who was standing on the right, "Are you Alfr?" Well, a very cute boy. ”

Then she walked in front of the siblings, turned around, and said to them both, "Effie, Elver, now I just want to tell you one thing, I'm hungry. However, I still need to get my work done before dinner. ”

Euphemia said happily, "Sister, you're hungry, it's great. It just so happened that we were going to dinner. ”

When Alfred heard that dinner was eaten, he jumped on the spot excitedly and said, "Let's go, my two sisters, if I don't eat dinner again, my mother will definitely scold me." ”

Isabel sighed inwardly, and walked straight to the stable behind the siblings, saying, "Effie, Elf, now that you get out of here, I'm going to work." ”

Euphemia's eyes widened, she couldn't understand why her "sister" thought that work was more important than dinner. Seeing Isabel leave beside her, she looked at her brother and said, "Elf, did you hear what your sister said?" ”

Alver nodded and said, "My sister said she was going to work." As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted immediately, crying and shouting: "Why doesn't my sister eat dinner and go to work?" Effie, I'm so hungry and I want to eat. Did you hear that? I want to eat!! ”

"Alright, alright, you can go to dinner. If Dad asked me where I was, he would say... Let's just say my sister and I stayed in the stable. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. Oh, I have to go and say goodbye to my sister. ”

"It's okay, Alver, you can go."

Alfred was guided by the servants towards the dining room. Jule, the son of the groom, quickly left the stables after saluting the lord's daughter, Mr. Harder, the steward. Euphemia glanced at the butler, who was standing not far away, and said, "Mr. Hader, go and prepare dinner." ”

Bruce had planned to finish instructing Isabel before preparing dinner for the lord's family. Now it seems that not only did he not complete the guidance work assigned by the lord, but he also had to hurry up and prepare the dinner of the lord's family.

Although he was very anxious, he replied calmly on the surface, "Yes, miss." However, my lord asked me to give some guidance on Squire's work. ”

Euphemia asked curiously, "What do you call your sister Squire?" Of course, I know what Squire means when he's Daddy's knightly squire. ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Yes, Miss." Squire is indeed a knightly squire of the Lord, so she is required to take care of the Lord's horses. ”

"Well, Mr. Harder, I see. You can go and prepare dinner. ”

"Miss, please go to dinner too. Just leave it to Squire here. ”

"No, Mr. Harder, I'm going to stay with my sister, do you hear me?"

Bruce didn't want to get into an unnecessary argument with the lord's daughter. After a few words of explanation to Isabel, he hurried out of the stable with the servants to prepare dinner for the lord's family. The noisy stable courtyard has returned to the tranquility of its usual days.

Isabel followed the steward's instructions to find the tools in the stable to clean the horses' hooves, and began to clean the hooves of the knight's horses. Euphemia looked at Isabel who was leaving, and said to the maid Christina, "Give me the oil lamp, and you can go back first." ”
