Volume 1: Arrogance Chapter 71: Double the Salary? (1st Update)

"Whew, it's finally time to get there......"

As soon as she entered her own bedroom, Xiao Yueluo breathed a sigh of relief, and then the whole person collapsed directly on the bed.

For five whole days, it can be said that Xiao Yueluo sat in the carriage for five whole days, which is tantamount to a long torture for a person who is seasick, well, it may not be accurate to say torture, this experience may be more appropriate to call it torture.

But whatever the reason, she has already left a not very "good" impression on the soldiers defending the city...... Well, or rather, is it bad?

But fortunately, this time the target is those recruits, if they are replaced by the previous ones...... Forget it, I still don't want to......

┐(─__─)┌

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Come in."

After answering weakly, Xiao Yueluo heard a "click", and then Adrian slowly walked in: "General Evelina, will you go out for dinner later, or ......?"

"I won't eat tonight, and my stomach is still a little ...... Uncomfortable...... Xiao Yueluo waved her hand, still looking weak.

"That'...... You'll rest tonight, and I'll bring some to eat tomorrow morning. With that, Adrian exited the room, leaving only the sound of steady breathing in the room.

The next day, Xiao Yueluo habitually got up early in the morning, and after a night's rest, the bad state of the carriage had been completely eliminated at this time. But to her surprise, when she opened the door, she happened to meet Adrian standing in the doorway with breakfast, and if it weren't for the heat on it, she would almost have thought that this man had already made something, and had been standing in the doorway waiting for her.

"Your Highness once told me about some of the general's habits, so I can pinch and prepare these things." It seemed that the confusion on Xiao Yueluo's face was too obvious, so Adrian explained while walking into the room with breakfast, "The general can wash up first, and when everything is ready, he can eat." ”

The movements in his hands did not stop, and after all the meals were placed, Adrian continued: "General Evelina, don't worry, I know that you have to exercise in the morning, although it is not good to have a morning exercise after breakfast, but considering that you did not eat last night, this situation is limited to today." ”

After listening to someone's long list of explanations, Xiao Yueluo didn't say anything, and just washed and ate as Adrian said. After all, everyone has arranged it for you kindly, if you refuse...... Well, it's a little bit of a shame.

Besides, Adrian was right, this approach was indeed the most suitable for her now. It's just that while eating breakfast, Xiao Yueluo's heart flickered with doubts: it stands to reason that Adrian, as a military commander, shouldn't be so skilled in these things, you must know that these can be said to be the scope of the butler's responsibility.

……

"You asked Adrian to take care of that girl! Why haven't I seen you so generous before? In the office in the middle of the villa, Navis looked at someone sitting in a chair with a frenzied expression. He had been wondering why he had so many extra jobs, and it wasn't until he couldn't find Adrian everywhere that he realized that the person who was supposed to help him with the work had gone to Tours City with Xiao Yueluo five days earlier.

"What did I do wrong?"

Ronald frowned, his face puzzled, but more worried. Of course, even the person in front of him can know who the object of this worry is without saying Navis: "No, you're right, you don't really have anything to give people to Xiao Yueluo, but ......"

At this point, Navis paused obviously, and then almost gritted his teeth and finished the rest of the part: "Do you know that my workload has been doubled because of this?" ”

The thought of the unfinished papers in his room made Navis feel a faint throbbing pain in his chest. You know, how much energy he wasted in order to train Adrian at the beginning, so that someone could help him share the work, but now......

"What do you say? Don't play dumb on me! ”

Navis slapped his palm on the table, and the bruises on his forehead were clearly visible, and the dissatisfaction, if someone else came to him, it was estimated that he would be alive or not.

"Or ...... Give you a thirty percent salary? Ronald glanced at the person in front of him, and then asked tentatively, but the only answer was a "hehe" and two sneers.

"What fifty percent?"

Seeing that Navis didn't directly refuse, Ronald felt that there was a joke, you must know that no matter what, this matter was caused by his lack of consultation with the person in front of him, but in terms of the result, nothing will change, after all, there is only Adrian on his side who has similar abilities except for Navis.

"No, this time I ask for double, ten percent!" Navis propped his hands on the table, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll quit immediately."

"Okay, ten out of ten, after all, it's my fault this time anyway, and considering your workload, you can choose one more from that group of people to help you, of course, if you want to choose a few more, I won't say anything."

Unexpectedly, Ronald did not object, and even that attitude seemed very refreshing, but this anomaly in Navis's eyes made him suddenly vigilant: "Say, what is your purpose?" It's not like you at all. ”

Navis stood there with his arms folded around his chest, his face covered in the words "I'm not so easy to deceive."

"Straightforward?" Ronald glanced at Navis lightly, then nodded and continued: "Since you yourself think it's more than ten percent, then just fifty percent, just I can save some too." ”

"No way!"

"Why not?"

Ronald raised his eyebrows, and his smiling eyes looked at Navis without blinking, as if he wanted to imprint the expression of the person in front of him into his memory: "This should be the meaning of what you just said, right?" ”

"......" When did he say such a thing?

The corners of Navis's mouth twitched slightly, and at the same time, his forehead was also full of black lines at this moment, although he knew that the lord in front of him said this deliberately, but he had to say that this trick was indeed very effective, after all, ...... He still cares more about the amount of salary than the workload. It's just that there are so many people in the pit outside, but this time the object of the pit has become him, and this pit is still what he jumped into voluntarily, what is it like to be in this...... It's hard to put into words......

"In short, if it doesn't work, it won't work, it's ten percent, if it is changed, His Highness will simply do the work himself."

After speaking, Navis even showed an expression of "Lao Tzu is no longer serving".

"Poof! Ahem! He coughed lightly to hide the smile on his face, and then Ronald's face showed a little helplessness, "Don't be angry, it's just a joke with you, I'll give you the salary in two parts, but there is a request." ”

"Say."

Trying to ignore someone's smiling expression, Navis turned and walked to the couch and sat down, well, I'm a little tired from standing there since I came in, so let's get some rest.

"Cultivate a few more like Adrian, and I will be useful in the future."

"I know this without you saying it, otherwise the next time you transfer someone away for me without saying a word, it's not me who is tired."

"If only you could understand."

"Forget it, I won't tell you, since the purpose of this visit is solved...... It's time for me to flash too. After taking a sip of tea, Navis stood up and stretched again, "There's still work to do when I get back......

"Navis."

"What?" Holding one hand on the doorknob, the sound behind him made Narvis's footsteps pause, and then he turned his head to look back: the person who was sitting in the chair had already stood by the window at some point, and the sunlight outside the window seemed a little dazzling at this time, especially the part that fell on Ronald's side face.

"You ......"

"Me?"

"Well, probably I thought it was wrong, so you should go back first today."

"......" nervous ......

Rolling his eyes a little speechlessly, and then Navis didn't think much about it and turned around and left the room directly, until he could no longer hear the footsteps that were gradually moving away, Ronald slowly turned around, staring at the door with dark and deep eyes, but his current appearance was destined to be seen by no one, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment......

At the same time, after eating breakfast, Xiao Yueluo has also started her daily sword practice, but unlike usual, there is an additional person beside her who is watching in the bright light - Adrian.

Actually, Xiao Yueluo is still a little curious about this person who was suddenly stuffed by Ronald, looking at the age is not very old, and she looks like she is twenty-five or sixteen years old, with short black hair and black deacon clothes, it is more appropriate to say that he is a soldier commander than a housekeeper, and as far as he knows this person, the abilities he has shown are also the skills that a housekeeper should have.

"Actually, my previous identity was indeed a soldier commander, and as for the ones you asked, they were all trained because I often helped Lord Navis deal with affairs." For Xiao Yueluo's doubts, Adrian just smiled and said the reason. It's just that unlike Navis, Adrian speaks in a very calm tone, and even his speed is slower than most, but even this makes it difficult to get a trace of annoyance.

"I see, so it makes sense." Xiao Yueluo nodded in understanding, but when she thought of Navis's original purpose of cultivating the person in front of her, she was a little speechless: Should I say that it is worthy of him? It's also a bit ...... to do this in order to be lazy Wait a minute, since that's the case......

"Let me ask you, are you the only one around Navis who helps with the work?"

"Well, it's true that I'm the only one, I think that His Royal Highness the Second Prince also deducted a lot of Lord Navis's salary because of this matter."

"......" deducts wages...... Hehe, she suddenly wanted to know how Navis would react when she found out about it. I'm afraid I'm going to be so angry that I'm going to go to that person for a theory......

Thinking of this, Xiao Yueluo shook her head a little amusedly, and then waved the long sword in her hand again and again......
