Chapter 26: The Demon King?
Lu Kaifeng was walking in the corridor, and the oncoming maids all bowed respectfully when they saw him, and Lu Kaifeng responded with a smile.
The people were surprised, originally they thought that this legendary demon guest would be difficult to serve, but it didn't seem to be like this. At least it looks approachable and not as violent as the legend says. Moreover, it is said that he also asked the eldest lady to help take care of a slave. This relieved them that working in the Ratniat family was the desire of many commoners or slaves. Because the Duke of Galea's Latniat family is extremely strict, the masters have a gentle personality and treat their subordinates very well. Although the eldest lady will not kick out the guests because they have offended them, if they do not treat the guests well, they will always lose the face of the host, and they do not want to live up to this kindness.
Of course, Lu Kaifeng didn't know what they were thinking, but if he knew, he would probably sigh at the evil class.
found a maid and asked her to take him to Nina's room, and the gentle attitude made the maid who had just arrived a little flattered, and Lu Kaifeng comforted her a few words to make her less excited. But despite this, when she arrived at the door of Nina's room, her face was still a little red, and she didn't seem to have recovered yet. Lu Kaifeng originally wanted to go there alone, after all, he had a sword soul, but he thought that it was not good to hang out in someone else's house alone, so he found someone to take him there.
There was a knock on the door, and soon the door opened, and it was a maid. After seeing Lu Kaifeng, she saluted respectfully, and then invited him in.
"Uncle Lu!"
Nina pounced after seeing that the person who came in was Lu Kaifeng. The little girl changed into a blue and white princess dress after freshening up. The black hair was scattered on both shoulders, and it was still a little wet, exuding an unknown floral scent. After the little face is washed away from the filth, although it is still a little thin and yellow, it is not difficult to see the original cute face. A pair of big watery eyes flickered, and the fear in them after seeing Lu Kaifeng had disappeared, replaced by a look of relief. Although Lu Kaifeng knew that the maid was very good to Nina through the Sword Soul, Nina still only trusted Lu Kaifeng so far, after all, the wounds she received were not so easy to heal.
The maid also smiled slightly when she saw this scene, and after Lu Kaifeng said that she didn't need help, she bowed again and walked out of the room, and gently brought the door to the door.
Lu Kaifeng silently praised the etiquette of the subordinates in his heart, and then picked her up and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, and he also sat down next to him.
"How? Like it here? ”
Touching the little girl's head, Lu Kaifeng asked.
"Hi... Like. The little girl nodded, with a reassuring expression.
"It's good to like it. We'll all be staying here in the near future, so don't be afraid, Nina. If you have any questions, you can find your sisters, or find the housekeeper grandfather, they are all good people and will help Nina. ”
"But—" Nina hesitated, lowered her head, and her voice slowly became quieter, "but Nina has never lived in such a big and beautiful house, and has never worn such a beautiful dress. I... I'm afraid that if I get dirty, will the big sister and the old man be angry? ”
"No, they won't be angry."
"Really?" Nina raised her head and looked at Lu Kaifeng with big eyes, her little face full of anticipation.
"Really, because my uncle is their guest, and then, Nina came with my uncle, so Nina is also their guest. Grandpa, they are very good to the guests, Nina don't have to be afraid. ”
"But that grandpa looks so fierce."
"He just looks fierce, but he's actually very gentle." Lu Kaifeng scratched his head, of course he didn't know what the butler's personality was, but with a master like Ophelia, it wouldn't be bad.
"So Nina doesn't have to be afraid, she has to get along with her grandfather and sisters."
"Hmmm! Nina will thank her grandfather and sisters tomorrow, and her mother will thank others when she says that others help her. ”
Nina nodded heavily, as if she had accepted them, but lowered her little head as she spoke, looking a little lost.
"Missed Mom?"
"Hmm..."
Poor child.
Lu Kaifeng sighed.
"Don't worry, Nina will definitely be able to see her mother, and my uncle will help Nina find her mother."
"Really?"
"Yes, Uncle promises."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Nina showed an innocent smile, which made Lu Kaifeng stunned. At that moment, Lu Kaifeng felt that this was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.
"No thanks, it's not early, go to bed early." Lu Kaifeng got up, opened the door and saw that the maid was standing by the door just now, she had been standing here since she went out, and she had never left. He nodded and smiled at her, then turned back to Nina and said, "If there is anything, you can find your sister, or you can find your uncle, who is in the innermost room." ”
"Hmmm! Goodbye, uncle! Nina smiled sweetly at Lu Kaifeng, and then nodded.
"Goodbye." Closing the door, Lu Kaifeng said to the maid at the door: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's my job, don't you care, sir." The maid flexed slightly, respectfully responding.
"Well, if you have anything, just tell me, I'm sorry for you."
"Sir is gracious."
Lu Kaifeng shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
......
Returning to the room and closing the door, Lu Kaifeng glanced at the bookcase next to the door, where there was a shadow that could not be illuminated by the light. He walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down in the direction of the door, and suddenly said, "Come out." ”
Hearing this, the shadow squirmed for a moment, and then, a trace of black qi drilled out of the shadow and gradually converged. It didn't take long for the black air to dissipate, and a figure in a gray cloak appeared next to the bookcase. The figure is not tall, similar to Lu Kaifeng, neither fat nor thin. The cloak looks a little old and seems to have gone through a lot of dust. He lifted his hood to reveal an angular face, his medium-length black hair concealing the same delicate black lines as Nina, but the direction of the magic patterns was a little different, and it looked even more weird.
This is an adult demon, looking at the temperament he exudes, he should be a soldier, his black eyes are full of perseverance, and he seems to have firm faith and conviction. It's just that when the pair of black eyes saw Lu Kaifeng, they showed the excitement and excitement of a child meeting a hero, as well as the piety and fanaticism of believers when they saw a miracle, as if they had seen a god.
The demon patted the dust on his body, and there was a sense of ritual in his movements, as if he felt that it was an insult to see Lu Kaifeng in this appearance. After cleaning himself up, he walked up to Lu Kaifeng and knelt down on one knee.
"Lord Demon..."
