Chapter Twenty-Three: My Chief Maid Can't Bear It Like This
The next morning, in the halls of Desmond, Sinloth was listlessly eating his breakfast. Ellie's little lazy worm can't get up as usual. Sinroth didn't mean to wake her up, saying that it seemed that Ellie had become lethargic since coming to Desmond.
"It's meat again."
The animals of this era, although not as delicate as the domestic animals that have been bred in captivity in modern times. But it's better to be original, even if it's a guy like Xinlos, he doesn't feel bad when he eats it occasionally. But if you eat it all, it's hell.
The cook lady with a shabby apron around the long table heard Xinluos's words, and her face was full of panic, and she quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry, my lord. I'll be aware later, please give me a little more time"
"No, no Jenny." Xinluo looked at the cook, "You usually have to clean the entire castle by yourself, and you have to be responsible for the food, which is hard enough. Now Bismal can they still need you to take care of the situation of the territory, I also know, now the conditions are difficult, a qiΔ from the simple. β
It turns out that Jenny, as a cook, is undoubtedly very qualified. But it would be a waste of time to have to make the delicate dishes of the zuΓ² aristocracy. Jenny was currently the only woman in the castle, and with so much to attend to every day, Cynroth wasn't going to waste her precious time on it.
"Lord Almighty, it's great that you could think so," Jenny bowed deeply, her face still filled with the joy of the aftermath.
"Don't do that, I'm like one of those cruel and unkind lords." Xinluos thought for a moment, and asked instead, "Jenny, I see that you can't be busy alone. Are there any reliable candidates, and how many do you recommend? β
In order to avoid a similar dilemma when the Normans invaded again, Sinlos felt that it was urgent to recruit people on a large scale.
Whether it's a knight in charge of a battle, or a maid cleaning a castle.
"Candidates?"
"yes, you have to do so much work every day, you must be very tired, and sometimes you can't be busy, right? With a few helpers, it will be much better. β
Jenny kept her head down, and Sinloth couldn't see her expression. After a long time, the cook finally spoke, "My daughter Robert is sixteen years old, and if the adults wish, she can come to the castle to help." β
Hearing Jenny say this, Xinluo is naturally indispensable, and Jenny's ability is obvious to all. With such a capable employee, it is worth the price. Doesn't he just want his daughter to enter the castle as well, this is still within the range of Sinlos: "In that case, then bring her in the next few days." β
"Yes, my lord, I'll go and inform her," the cook bowed deeply again, and staggered out.
"What's wrong with Jenny? It seems to be very sad. Sinloth looked at Jenny's stumbling figure and realized something. Did he inadvertently say something very excessive?
No, it's just normal for her to recommend a few maids who can work.
["Recently, there are not enough people in the castle, so send your daughter to the castle. The lord of the desolate ** said this solemnly, and told his mother, who was a cook in the castle, the desperate news. The will of the Almighty Lord is absolute, and the Scripture says that a man can only marry one woman, then he can only marry one, and even nobles and emperors cannot violate the will of the Lord. But the nobles naturally have their own methods, and you, who disdain to exercise **, naturally say this code phrase that is widely spread in the empire, just a mother from a civilian background, and she is powerless to prevent the tragedy from happening. In the fiefdom of the fiefdom aristocracy, the words of the nobles were as inviolable as the emperor's pardon. The mother staggered, returned home, and told the poor daughter the news. What awaits them? γ

Xinluo looked blank and pulled out the ball of light from his long black hair: "Sue sΓΉ I am not real. β
"I'm sorry, contractor, it's true. This is indeed a well-known code word in the Empire. β
"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Summer is indeed the season of restlessness, and it is normal for the contractor to enter the spring period. What's more, this kind of common sense doesn't need my prompting. β
"What kind of common sense is this! Why I've never heard of it! β
"Imperial common sense."
As always, Sinloth couldn't talk about this damn orb of light. He slumped limply in his chair and shoved the ball of light into his hair. Now, there is nothing that can be done. When Sinloth first arrived, it was the time to establish his prestige, and it was always taboo to change orders at night. What's more, Sinloth didn't plan to do anything to the girl named Robert.
"After all, I'm only sixteen."
"So you're struggling with her age, not the code itself?"
"So, shut up for me."
With his eyes closed, Sinlos lay lazily on the grass in front of Desmond Castle. Ever since he and Ellie came here a while ago, Sinloth has fallen in love with it. The green grass is soft and soft when lying down, with the warm sun, and in such weather, it is really good to take a nap after eating enough.
"My lord, I'm here."
It seemed that someone was talking to him, but Xinluos, who was getting comfortably sunburned, had no idea of getting up at all.
"Hmm."
He just answered casually and continued to enjoy the afternoon sun. Perhaps the only good thing about this shabby place in Desmond is that it's the height of summer, but it's not too hot, and the sun is always so warm.
"Your Excellency?"
The man didn't look like he was going to give up, but continued to call in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Sinloth replied again, but still didn't mean to open his eyes. These days, those stupid farmers come to him to ask him about any trivial matter, and it really annoys him. And Bismal has been unconscious, and Ruziano and Roland are sick in bed, which also distracts him a lot. He also went to visit a few times, but the appearance of the three of them was really not suitable for bothering, so he had to quietly retreat.
It's rare to have such a good interest today, but it can't be stirred up. Sinloth made up his mind that whatever happened would have to wait until he had slept enough.
Seeing that Sinloth never spoke, the man gave up his intention to continue to wake him up, and instead stood silently beside him.
It was a long time until the sun was about to go down that Sinlos woke up leisurely. He stretched out contentedly and sighed, "Today is really a good day." β
"As you say, my lord."
"Huh?" It was only then that Sinloth noticed that there was a girl with black hair and blue eyes standing beside him.
"You are"
The girl was tall and tall, and even compared to Sinloth, who was a man, she was not inferior. The black-haired girl's long silky black hair was combed into two long braids and caged in front of her, dressed in a simple black maid outfit, carrying an umbrella and a small package in her hand. She stood in front of Cynloth with a deferential expression, a slight smile on her face, her eyes staring directly at the ground, not looking at Cynloth.
"I'm Robert Labres, and I've been notified by my mother this morning, and I'm here to report to the adults."
"Oh wait, have a last name?"
"My ancestor is indeed a knight, but I am a woman, and my father has no intention of letting me inherit the family business."
"That's right."
The Imperial Code does not exclude female heirs, who have the same inheritance rights as male heirs. But if you want to revive the family name that has long been lost, it is really better to have a male heir, and a woman
Sinloth nodded, indicating that he understood: "In the morning, I may not have made it clear to Jenny, but in fact, I have no ill intentions"
"Adults don't need to explain, I understand. As a descendant of knights, I'm ready to come to my senses. The girl named Robert bowed her head deeply: "Please don't worry about my feelings, no matter how bad it is, I will endure it." β
So, what do you realize Xinluo thought in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at the attribute bar of this girl.
Name: Robert Labres
Strength: 9, Constitution: 10, Agility: 11, Intelligence: 9, Will: 14
Overall, it's not bad. Even if it's an adult man, this attribute is fine, let alone a sixteen-year-old girl. It's what is going on with this will, how is it so outrageously high, it has surpassed those knights, is there any special bonus?
Traits: Battle Maid (Unawakened), Van Zhuo's Hound (Unawakened)
I've never seen it, what the hell are these two traits?
Battle Maid: A Battle Maid is not a maid
Van Thound's Hound: Give alms to the living, give flowers to the dead, hold a sword for justice, give death to the wicked, and we will join the saints. Swear to the Lord Almighty, and punish an injustice with a hammer.
Cynroth blinked, and the explanation was exactly the same as if he hadn't said it. But judging from these two qualities, it should be a good combat power, right?
"Will you be angry?"
The black-haired woman smiled mildly, "Yes." β
A maid who will be angry
Xinluo rubbed his temples with a little headache: "Since that's the case, then you can stay, you go to find a room to live in first" Xinlos looked up, looked at the sun in the sky, and added: "By the way, wake up Ellie, why does this kid sleep for so long every day"
"Ellie?" The black-haired girl repeated the name suspiciously, and her curious appearance was actually a little cute.
"Yes, Ellie. My daughter, the eldest lady of the Fanzhuo family. β
