Chapter 1667: The Diligent Maid
Sandrina is a maid who works at Fort Blois.
Truth be told, as a Squib, not only is it difficult to get a normal wizarding education in the wizarding world, but it is also quite difficult to find a job that can survive.
Therefore, she was able to be taken in as a maid by some coincidence, which was undoubtedly a great favor to her, who had nothing to do with the Blois family.
And perhaps it was because of this gratitude to the Blois family that young Sandrina worked diligently every day, usually being the first to wake up in the morning and often going to bed later in the evening than most maids.
For example, these nights, no matter how late Maca and the three of them came back, they could see her and the old butler waiting silently in the hallway, one in the hallway.
It's certainly the same tonight.
Kingsley had already returned first, and as he passed the road that connected the hall to the staircase, Sandrina stood there and asked softly if she needed a supper. Even though Maca doesn't usually eat much at night, she still asks intimately every night.
As for now...... It had been more than two hours since Kingsley returned, and it was already late at night. To be honest, Sandrina was already very sleepy, and her eyelids couldn't help but fall just by standing there.
But she still stood there with her head slightly down, maintaining the posture of a maid, almost out of shape.
"Sandrina?"
Coldly, a voice sounded not far in front of her, making her whole person, who happened to be dozing off, tremble slightly.
The next moment, I saw that she hurriedly raised her head and glanced at it, and then immediately leaned over and bowed her head and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Butler, I ......"
"No, no, there's nothing to apologize for," said the old butler, who came to see her, with a slight wave of his hand, "Sandrina, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first!" After all, even if you've been here, you won't be able to see Mr. McLean when he returns. ”
"How is this ...... "Yes," said Sandrina, shaking her head, "as you have said, Mr. Butler, Mr. McLean is the most honored guest of our Blois—so, even if it is very likely that he will miss it, what if he comes back late tonight, and happens to be hungry?" I'd better stay here! ”
"Well," the old butler touched the white beard on his upper lip and thought about it for a moment before he said, "Then you will have a half-day off tomorrow morning!" Get a good night's sleep...... It's not just for your body, it's also for being able to work better. ”
With that, the old butler immediately turned and left.
Behind him, Sandrina looked at the housekeeper who was slowly leaving, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly—didn't Mr. Butler stay so late himself? The old butler is now older, and he may be the one who needs to rest the most.
Just as Sandrina was thinking this, the old butler, who had just walked back to the side door of the hall, suddenly leaned in a certain direction in the hall and bowed.
Then, I heard the old butler speak:
"Welcome back both...... Oh, Mr. Shackle has gone back to his room to rest—"
As soon as he said this, the old butler suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned his head and beckoned to Sandrina's side.
When the clever Sandrina saw this, she immediately stepped forward quickly, and then stood behind the old butler and looked out into the hall. After that, I saw that she also followed the old butler and bowed.
"Welcome back, you two—do you need a supper or a bath?"
Outside at the moment are none other than Maca and Delphi, who have just returned from the royal estate. While Sandrina was speaking, the old butler had quietly stepped to the side, smiling as Sandrina politely asked Marca what she needed.
"Oh! I do want to take a shower, but there's a lot more to do, so forget about it today! Maca looked at Sandrina and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Speaking of which, you look much more tired than I am, otherwise you can go to the bathroom instead of me to soak in the bathroom!" ”
In Sandrina's opinion, this Mr. McLean seems to be really busy. After making a little joke with himself, the other party took the exceptionally beautiful "female companion" and staggered past her and the old butler and went to the other end of the corridor.
"Luckily, Mr. McLean wasn't too late tonight...... Sandrina, go to sleep! Remember to take a break tomorrow morning, got it? Speaking of which, the old butler added a similar suggestion:
"By the way, I think Mr. McLean is right when he says - you go take a bath and then sleep well, it's quite good for sleep."
After a little silence, the old butler nodded to Sandrina and then turned back again.
Sandrina, who had just been persuaded to take a bath by two people in a row, hesitated for a moment, as if she actually wanted to go to the bathroom to soak and relax, hesitated, or walked towards the bathroom.
……
"Wait so late?"
Maca, who had just left there, suddenly bowed slightly with emotion and muttered to herself. When Delphi heard this, she couldn't help but explain further to Maca:
"She's here every night, and Daddy, you always walk outside the hall when you come back, so you rarely see her, right?"
"Every day?" Hearing this, Maca nodded hurriedly, "That's really not easy...... Well, I'm starting to think it's not good to come back too late. ”
Having said that, he just said that, and even if he didn't want to do some things, it wasn't easy to let go of them.
"Delphi, you don't have to go with me, just go and rest!"
As she passed the stairs leading upstairs, Maca paused and watched Delphi go upstairs. When he couldn't see the other party, he turned around and continued to walk towards the tower where he lived.
"Ah...... Let's continue to study the Devouring Mirror! ”
The unfinished business is still piled up as high as a mountain, no matter whether others sleep or not, anyway, Maca is afraid that she should work all night again today.
"Oh, I seem to sleep pretty soundly."
As she passed the second floor where Ens was, Maca looked at the other party's room and chuckled and nodded. Then, he made his way up the stairs and re-entered the room where he had stared at the Devouring Mirror in a daze.
Around the same time, Sandrina had already packed her clothes and walked into the bathroom for the minions. The bath, which was barely smaller than the master bath, and the full range of amenities, showed the preferential treatment that the Blois family had for their servants.
