Chapter 56: Gran of the Five

ยท

My name is Gran.

Coming from a village in the southern part of the continent, she graduated with honors from the top maid academy in the continent. She is the best professional maid in the new issue.

This kind of me, even though I come from a civilian background, also has my own ambitions. I plan to work in the mansion of a certain Lord Shang Jue with the recommendation of the academy, not only with a good salary, but also into a big city to meet many people with status. I am confident that as long as I can encounter an opportunity, I can seize it, become the wife of a rich and powerful family, or even become the concubine of Shangjue, and I can fly on the branches and become a phoenix.

It's going to be better at home, too.

I won't be stingy with my appearance. Some resources can only be used effectively at a young age. Not only that, but I am not inferior to housekeeping, etiquette makeup, clerical management, magical knowledge, and even various combat guard skills. I will study everything that can be used diligently, and I will never hesitate to use it. For such ambitions, I really worked hard.

It may be a bit ugly to say that she is ambitious, but if a village girl wants to be in high society, it is so unrealistic than a pipe dream.

Everyone says that it is destined for seven minutes. I managed to be at the top of my graduation by my own efforts, but luck eventually made me the maid at the bottom of the Eastern Mansion. There is no access to any upper-class people at all.

For more than two years, I finally squeezed into the inner circle and saw Dong Shangjue for the first time.

Then I quit my job...... It's better to run away overnight.

Angry.

I thought that the bright future of becoming a concubine was close at hand, and I would at least know a few sons, but I accidentally overheard a conspiracy about me! Several other nobles are plotting to assassinate Dong Shangjue, infiltrating layer by layer, and have been planning for a long time. And they actually plan to find a new, brainless, backgroundless maid to poison - that is, me!

In other words, the outcast. Whether the assassination is successful or not, I am doomed, and even my family will be implicated.

I'm not brainless!

Luckily, I overheard the plan in advance, and I was mistaken for a village girl with no brains and only a chest, and fortunately, no one officially told me about it. I lied that there was an emergency at home, quit my job overnight and absconded.

It's a pity that with such a good job, all my efforts have been in vain! Just because I'm new here, and the timing of my promotion is not right!

People, there really should be a background...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up so badly.

I was worried about being chased and killed by those big people who played conspiracy, so I didn't go home directly, and I didn't have the face to go home, and my family was counting on me to send money back.

Hide in a nearby village.

It's too far away for fear of not hearing the news, and too close for fear of being caught. After waiting like this, three days later I heard that another hapless girl had not yet poured the venom into the teacup, and was arrested on the spot. If I...... I'm afraid it would have been me who died.

No one was suspicious of my sudden resignation. Probably because of the blessing that I am a nameless village girl...... It's ironic.

Hide from the limelight for a few more days and go home.

What to do in the future? I can only be a maid, and I think I am very good, and if I want to get ahead, I can only continue to do what I am good at.

The family is not well-off, and the tuition fees in the later period have been borrowed money. For more than two years, the peripheral maids had a meager salary, and they saved money to send them home, and finally paid off the loan, and now they have lost their jobs. The only way to do this is to continue to borrow money, bribe the academy, and issue letters of introduction to other nobles again...... I don't know if it will work.

Despair.

But the heavens don't stop me!

By chance, I hugged my super thighs!!

Just yesterday, a female mage with a suspicious mask came to me and said that she would hire coolies for a high salary. I'm a woman, I can't be a coolie or something, right? And I'm just hiding here and pretending to be a jobless homeless to avoid the limelight.

Raised to a monthly salary of 2 gold?

It's so suspicious.

When I was a peripheral maid, my monthly salary was only 500 silver coins, and later it rose to nearly 700, and the promised inner maid was only 800 silver coins, and I lost my job before I even started.

Sure enough, as others have privately discussed, it's the slave trade that has been prevalent recently, right? It's a liar who intends to sell us to the north.

has just escaped from Dong Shangjue, how can he enter the tiger's mouth again. So he refused.

But! The other party turned out to be a super archmage!

The woman named Sophia next to her kept whispering what kind of electricity system is the eighth order, the fire system is the eighth order, and the mage of the world! Although I didn't memorize the specific criteria for ranks, I knew that the top archmages such as Dong Shangjue, Teleportation Emperor, and Prophet were only the sixth order of a single magic. Isn't this a super thigh? In minutes, you will become a big man who calls for wind and rain!

Absolutely have to hug it!

"Although I am a woman, I have a lot of strength! Whether it's physical work or other work, you can do it! โ€

After making such an effort to self-recommend, I was successfully employed. Excellent!

Not a lie. I can do a lot of work and have a lot of energy. Does anyone naively think that maids are easy jobs? You come and wipe the spiral staircase on the fourth floor every day, and the nearly 1,000 steps must be spotless. Of course, there will be no gentleman to carry heavy objects such as bedding and wine barrels for you, and it is all up to you.

But even if the female mage was wearing a mask, she couldn't hide her disappointment...... Odd? Do you want to hire men like that? It's good to have strength, right? Isn't it just simple coolies?

Could it be a hint of the need for men to serve? In particular, among the five, a man who claimed to have little strength but good looks was hired. This...... I don't mind the girl, I'll work hard!

Carrying the patient on the dirt road in the deep mountains will also work hard.

If you enter the weird underground palace, you will work hard.

Thinking that he wanted to prove that he was useful, he planned to do housekeeping chores first. Such a grumpy and eccentric rich super archmage, even if it is a woman, will live a dirty and messy life, right? First of all, show me my cooking skills and please the new boss!

Desperate again.

Although it is crumbling and ruined everywhere, it is spotless; Although he lives alone, he can use magic to conjure up soul-stirring delicacies from the walls; The bedrooms are also very simple, and there is no need for a special maid at all.

The first job was to carry the corpse and send it to the window of the wall. It must be turned into a raw material for food. I regret why I had to ask "what are the ingredients?" at the time. Poor Nocton threw up on the spot. Now that he has gone deep into the demon cave, it is too late to regret it, and the only way to please the female mage is to please him. For the sake of my ambitions, I will work hard.

The second job is to spin the wheel. Although it is not heavy, it can be hard to work for a long time and monotonous. Nocton on the side was already delirious and babbling nonsense. Sophia soon became too tired to move. I'm a woman, but I'm also very strong. Will try.

The third piece of work is the floor of the clear hall. There was some coagulated blood, and two half-amputated paws...... Oh, my God. I'm afraid that the six foreigners were all killed by the female mage. Although I took the initiative to ask for cleaning during the break, the female mage did not ask for this, but I am not here to mix up the monthly salary. It's time to show what sets me apart from the other four, and to bet on the glory of the Academy's top graduates will surely wipe the floor as bright as a mirror.

You can't see the sky, but it's said to be night. The magical lights of the palace dimmed.

To be honest, I'm tired.

But he still insisted on cleaning the mage's bedroom. It's not dirty, but it's messy, like after an earthquake.

By the rules, I needed to change her clothes, and as expected, I was denied. It is not uncommon sense for people who wear masks to hide their identities refuse to change their clothes. But I still needed to fetch hot water and make up for her, but I was also refused. Don't you even want your hair to be seen by other people? Why do you need to hide to such an extent, it's enough to cover your face in general, right?

It is also according to the rules that the personal maid needs to sleep near the master's outhouse. The simple and cramped bedroom didn't have a room inside and out, so I asked for some bedding and planned to sleep near the doorway to the mage's bedroom.

Nasty Sophia! She's coming to learn from me, too! I'm a personal maid to show loyalty, what are you doing here? The woman who grabs the job is the most annoying, and at first I thought she was a good person, but I was blind. I'm not going to lose.

The quilt is very thin, but surprisingly warm. Very comfortable. It must be expensive. No wonder this female mage is so rich, not only does she live in a palace made of all-metal, but even the quilt is super expensive. I, Gran, I'm the right bet this time! Although the new boss is a little scary, I will definitely work hard for the sake of ambition.

The above is yesterday's thing.

And this morning......

Of course, the maid woke up earlier than her master. In the underground where there is no sunlight, if you want to wake up in time, you can only rely on perseverance!

God rewards hard work, and it's great to be the first to wake up!

I discovered an amazing fact โ€“ female mages are men! At first, I thought it was a middle-aged lady with a flat chest, but it turned out to be an illusion. You can't be wrong, because she pitched her tent this morning!

Sophia was still asleep and didn't find out. I would never tell her, not even anyone, about this. A bright future beckons to me!

Considering that little Yuxiang and Hongyang Minbo...... Of course, I recognized the former at first sight, and her face was a compulsory course in the Maid Academy. The latter, seeing the new boss doing his best to treat his illness, I am afraid that he is also deeply emotional. One of the essential qualities of a maid is to be sensitive enough to such things, and one of them must be a wife.

Never mind.

Target - the concubine of the Super Archmage! The fact that the new boss is a man is now only known to me, if you want to work hard, you have to do it now!
