3-3 Flawless
The dinner at Sunderland Castle was much more sumptuous than usual, presumably to wash the dust for Charlie, and Phyllis made a table full of dishes.
When she saw the dining table, even Erin, who has always been picky, couldn't help but look at Phyllis differently: "Wow, I don't see it, you have a hand in cooking." β
"I hope your two highnesses have fun." Phyllis bowed to Charlie and Erin, then took a half-step back and stood aside.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Xia Li asked.
Before Phyllis could speak, Irene answered for him: "As a sign of respect for the master, the servant cannot dine at the same table as the master. β
"There's no need to be pretentious about the nobles and commoners in my castle, I don't like that." Xia Li said calmly, "When you come in, you will eat at the same table, and I don't need you to do those indifferent etiquette,"
When Charlie said this, Phyllis was disrespectful, and he walked over to the table and sat down gently, doing everything according to etiquette
Erin immediately stopped what she was holding and began to observe Phyllis's movements.
Even what she didn't expect was that Phyllis's manners at the table were impeccable, and she had planned to see the other party make a fool of herself, so she could only give up for the time being.
After eating, Xia Li sat up and prepared to leave the table, but after only two steps she turned around, as if remembering something: "By the way, Phyllis, there may be some new residents in a few days, and a new batch of maids should be hired." Those newcomers probably haven't served the royal family, and they may not understand the requirements of the royal family, do you remember to teach them, and by the way, talk about the difference between our family and other nobles, don't let me see them serve me with the etiquette of serving others, understand? β
"Yes." Phyllis replied immediately.
"Anyone else coming?" Erin asked in surprise.
She originally thought that she was the only one who would come to Xia Li's castle, even if it was her, it was just to watch the excitement and cover for Phyllis. Is there any necessary reason for the rest of the people to come to Charlie's castle?
"Hmm...... I don't know why, Her Royal Highness Elizabeth of New Cruz also said that she would stay overnight for a while. My castle should be very busy these days, remember to vacate a few rooms, I'm afraid there will be other new occupants. "Charlie is very thoughtful.
After hearing Elizabeth's name, Phyllis subconsciously looked at Erin, and it just so happened that Erin also looked at Phyllis.
Erin could see some inquiring looks in the other person's empty eyes, as if asking her "what to do".
"Do you have any comments?" Xia Li asked after seeing the small movements of the two people.
"No opinion, no opinion." Erin hurriedly waved her hand.
Phyllis also replied: "We have great respect for Her Royal Highness Elizabeth, so we are a little stunned subconsciously. β
"There's no girl who doesn't look up to Elizabeth, and it's understandable." Xia Li nodded.
Hearing her words, Erin turned her head to look at Phyllis, but found that the other party was not red or beating, and did not feel panicked at all, as if the other party was a girl herself, and she couldn't help but add a little admiration to Phyllis's dedication in her heart.
"yes!" Erin also hurriedly responded.
"After washing the dishes, let's get ready to wash up and rest, and in my castle I have a regular schedule, and I am not yet to the point where I need servants to take care of everything." After Xia Li finished speaking, she turned around and left, "But I'm not accusing you of your service...... Well, in my eyes you are very professional, and I also like your dedication very much, but I don't need to be taken care of in every corner, you understand? β
She was barely halfway through her sentence when she felt that she might have been a little harsh, so she turned the conversation back a little.
"Understood, Your Highness." Phyllis replied, "I will observe as much as I can on His Highness's own accomplishments, and focus my attention and energy on other things. β
"That's what you want." Xia Li nodded, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." β
With that, she turned and walked to the bathroom, leaving Erin and Phyllis looking at each other.
What Phyllis did just now conquered not only Charlie, but also Erin.
After Xia Li left, Erin finally opened up the conversation: "Did you receive any professional training anywhere?" Why haven't you made a mistake until now? β
"I used to be the paladin of New Cruise." "It's my job to serve the royal family, and now I'm just going back to my old job." β
"I've never heard of paladins learning how to cook and aristocratic manners." Erin didn't buy Phyllis's answer.
In her inherent impression, although knights are nobles, they are the lowest kind of nobles. Most of them are rude and uneducated. Especially the paladins of the Templar See, those paladins never took the etiquette of the nobility seriously, and in their eyes the so-called creed was above all else.
"Because His Royal Highness Edward and His Royal Highness Elizabeth have certain quality requirements for food, I learned it easily." Phyllis replied.
After hearing his dripping answer, Erin couldn't do anything but follow the topic: "You served Elizabeth...... Can you tell me about Elizabeth? I've heard from other people that Elizabeth seems to be a flawless person, is that really the case? β
"There are no flawless people in this world, Your Highness Irene." Phyllis replied, "But the merits of Her Highness Elizabeth are quite numerous, that is certain. β
Erin obviously didn't like to listen to his empty words, and she changed her tone and asked, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Elizabeth's chest is padded, and you, as her attendant, should know something, right?" β
"Your Highness, this is something I can't possibly know." Phyllis said to her patiently.
"Normal people can't grow that big at that age, right?" Erin lowered her head, looked at her actual situation, and said to Phyllis.
When Phyllis didn't know how to answer, someone answered for him
"That's you." Xia Li's voice rang out.
Phyllis and Erin immediately turned their attention away, only to see Xia Li walking towards the two of them while taking care of her hair, wrapped in only a bath towel.
With every step she took, water stains ticked under the bath towel, and Phyllis looked away at the right time so that she couldn't see what she shouldn't see.
Xia Li glanced at Erin and said, "It's the only one who thinks about this kind of question all day long, go take a bath." β
"So fast?" Erin leaned over to Xia Li, "Then I'll go first, bye-bye." β
With that, she gave Phyllis a look.
But Phyllis didn't look over there, didn't get her cue.
"You should rest early, you have worked hard today." Xia Li said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Phyllis nodded.
He was about to leave when he suddenly heard a shout from downstairs: "Phyllis, help, this magic array that boils water can't be activated!" β
