Chapter 194: The Waiter
Silas personally sent a pair of children back to the room, and walked back in high spirits, but when he reached the door of Luna's room, he was stopped by Luna, who pulled open the door and poked her head out.
"Father, I heard my grandfather say that in the future, don't let the queen mother drive you to sleep in the study, this will not have a good impact, and if you quarrel again, you will be allowed to make a bunk in the bedroom. What is a bunk? Is it sleeping on the ground?"
Luna asked the ground for a serious one.
Silas was not well at what he said, and although his inner struggle was habitually well disguised, Luna still noticed the rippling smile on his father's face, which froze slightly for a moment.
"Your grandfather feels sorry for his father and your mother, and he is afraid that I will be too busy too late, and I will not sleep well in the study, and it will affect your mother when I go back, so I will say this, what quarrels or not, don't think about that useless. I'm okay with your mother. Go back to bed, and get up early tomorrow morning!"
Taking a deep breath and finishing all the serious nonsense, Silas shoved Luna back into the room and pulled her up and shut.
The moment the door closed, Luna grinned silently, laughed three times, yawned, and went back to bed.
In a good mood, the quality of sleep is high, and the next day Luna not only did not wake up because she slept late, but climbed up early in the morning.
But at breakfast, she noticed that her daddy Silas had a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
As the midsummer celebration approaches, the school's annual half-month holiday begins, and on the first day of the holiday, Luna accompanies Olivia to receive her grandparents, who have completely cleaned up the mansion in the city.
Also, a dozen or so little orcs who look to be between four and seven years old.
"Come to Luna, see which one you like?" said Mrs. Sterling, holding Luna and pointing to the rows of orcs.
"Which one do I like?" Luna subconsciously looked at Olivia, instinctively not used to the feeling of picking an item.
"They are the attendants that your grandparents have picked out to give to you. Each has its own skills, all of which are to be left for you, you pick a few special favorites to stay by your side, and I will arrange for someone to continue to teach. ”
Olivia explained as she handed her daughter the booklet containing the basic information of the little orcs.
Luna took the booklet and knew that she needed to choose a waiter since she had taken shape, and that Ria had been upset about it.
But all this time, Olivia never mentioned the matter of choosing a waiter for her, and she didn't think much about it, but she didn't expect it......
Looking at the dozen or so orcs in front of her, although they were of different ages, they should obviously be well-trained and even maintained the same posture, Luna was really at a loss for a while.
It's just that at this moment, she suddenly clearly realized that these dozen or so little orcs who were given to her would be tied to her for the rest of their lives from now on.
Previously, Luna knew that waiters were different from maids, but it was only a general concept, and she knew that these people were the property of the master's family.
And because the housekeepers she came into contact with on weekdays were either housekeepers like Parker or maids beside her mother, and these waiters were even more respected than the free people, she didn't feel any different.
But it wasn't until now, when the dozen or so little orcs stood in front of Luna in a row, and asked her to choose, that she really realized what kind of existence the waiter was.
The humble and insignificant can be decided to stay as long as she likes it or dislikes.
To be sure, Luna doesn't like it at all, unlike when it was decided whether Sarah lived or died.
Now, standing in front of these little orcs, Luna feels more like she needs to choose a small sword, or a crossbow, to be handy, to be easy to use, but in front of her is a human, not just a cold tool.
"Mother, I, can I leave them all for now?" After a moment of silence staring at the booklet, Luna looked at Olivia.
"Why?" Olivia looked at Luna, confused.
"I can't tell the difference just by looking at it......" Luna hung her head, given that in two lifetimes, only working as an hourly worker during the Spring Festival and a few years of experience with Liya, Luna was responsible for these children and for herself.
"Do you want to ......?" Olivia frowned at Luna, she understood that Luna wanted to try to get along with these people, and then leave some of the good ones and send some of them away, and the bad ones.
But she knows better that waiters are different from servants, and that servants can use this method to try their work, and the good ones will stay, and the bad ones will be dismissed, but the waiters will be taught to obey from the day they become waiters, not to fight.
Let these cubs, who had already learned to accept their fate and learn to obey the arrangement in training, regain their enterprising mind, and for a while Olivia couldn't say whether it was good or bad, she just instinctively disagreed with her daughter's risky behavior.
"Luna is a kind child!" Lady Stirling stroked Luna's head, sighed, and looked at the old Marquis of Latour, who had never spoken.
"Come here, little one. Old Marquis Latour beckoned to Luna.
Luna walked over, and was picked up by the old Marquis Latour, put her on his lap, and put his arms around her, and asked, "Do you know how many attendants you should have?"
"There are three personal maids, who are in charge of my daily life and follow me every day, and one of these three maids may become my housekeeper in the future, just like Sophie by my mother's side.
There are also two maids who will take care of my room.
Four waiters help run errands, and this one is not informal.
The other is to take care of the attendant of the mount, a mount with a waiter, now I only have Ali, and there is only one waiter, of course, this is also informal, but because there is more physical work to take care of the mount, it is best to be a male or female with a strong physique.
The teacher also said that my property also needs to be taken care of by waiters, but now that I don't have an estate, I don't need a waiter for the time being.
That is, I still need nine more waiters. ”
Luna sat on her grandfather's lap, crossed her fingers, and said earnestly.
"But there were eighteen of them, which meant that in the end, half of them would have to leave for other use.
Although it is not necessary that the nine attendants who are left by your side will be better off than the ones who were not chosen, for now, although you are cautious, you have invisibly built a wall between them.
And as waiters, from the day they were trained, they were taught to obey their masters, so that they could live better while making their masters better.
Do you understand what I mean, or do you realize the problem with what you're doing?"
Old Marquis Latour pointed to the little orcs and looked at Luna.
