Chapter Twenty-Eight: Return to the Castle
The lord has returned.
This is really a bit unexpected for those who work in the castle, originally they also thought that this lord was not afraid of the curse of the castle, so he finally ran away with such an idea, but even so, take people's money and do things for others, so these people are also dutiful, anyway, Yulian also told them that he would come back within a month, if he didn't come back by then, then find a way.
And now, the lord really returned to the castle within the time limit, not only that, but he also brought back ten strong and burly (at least in the eyes of the servants) warriors, which naturally became the talk of the people in the castle, but as subordinates, they naturally can't say too much, anyway, the nobles always have a lot of mysterious and strange things, which is not something they can care about.
Of all these people, little Irene is perhaps the only one who doesn't think about the complexities, when in fact, she has more important things to do.
"This is your tea, miss. ”
Dressed in a somewhat wide maid outfit, Erin walked steadily to O'Faryl's side, bent down slightly, and then placed the teacup on the tray in her hand on the table in O'Faryl's hand, while O'Faryl quietly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then closed her eyes.
The girl nervously hugged the tray in her arms, staring at the girl in front of her, while Yuren sat next to her with a hint of amusement, waiting for Offariel's "judgment".
Eventually, O'Faryl opened his eyes, and then, a smile appeared on his otherwise serious face.
"You're qualified. ”
“――!”
Hearing this, Erin couldn't help but gasp excitedly, she raised her head excitedly, looking at the old Marfa standing beside her, only Erin herself knows, in the days when Yulian and the others left, what kind of tests and training she has undergone, when she was still an ordinary country girl, Erin thought that the so-called servants were just serving their masters, and then listening to their orders to do things as simple as that. But after she was recruited by Yuren, Erin realized that even a servant had so many things to do and so many rules to follow.
“.........”
She opened her mouth to say something, but at last she closed her mouth, and just looked at Ofariel with excitement and eagerness, although Yuren was the owner of this castle, but in this castle, it was this beautiful young lady who had the power to appoint and dismiss.
"Now you can go out, Erin, and we'll call you when something happens. ”
"Yes, Miss O'Fariel. ”
Although she was very excited, Erin still remembered Aunt Marfa's words, she bent down slightly, and then turned away, and her cute little face couldn't help but reveal a bright and sunny smile.
"Lovely girl. ”
After Erin left, Yulian commented that unlike O'Fariel, Yuren didn't care about the personnel affairs of the castle, even in his previous life, his goal was to play all kinds of interesting "games" with his friends or enemies.
"It's not pretty, but it's lovely. ”
"That's right. ”
Offariel nodded, then looked at the door with a melancholy look on her face.
"A lot of aristocrats like this tune, they are tired of playing with those beautiful women........."
"That's what you're worried about?"
Hearing this, You Lian raised his eyebrows, I really can't see that this princess is still a feminist?
"Nope. ”
However, Ofariel shook her head. Then, she lowered her eyes, as if she was remembering something, as if she was thinking about something.
"It's just a chance I've given myself. ”
At this point, Offariel clearly didn't intend to continue the conversation, and she raised her head, staring at Yuren with a pair of bright and clear eyes.
"So, Lord Yuren, I think it's time for us to do our business for today. ”
"Of course this ......"
In the face of those crystal clear eyes, Yuren paused for no reason, in fact, after returning to the castle, O'Faryl seemed to be "revenge" for Yuren's previous temptation, and always had to "discuss" with him in the operation of the castle.
"Any questions?"
"There aren't enough people!"
Ofaryl bit her lip and looked at Yuren in front of her with a hint of smugness. He had told himself so much about the warrior profession before, and although O'Faryl had learned a lot from it, it wasn't because of this that she would forget Yuren's tricks on her - the back of her right hand still hurt faintly when she thought about it, so she didn't mind letting the lord suffer a little loss in what she was good at, but so far, Yulian was very comfortable in the face of the problems given by O'Fariel, which made Her Royal Highness the former princess a little unwilling.
"Not enough people?"
Yu Lian crossed his hands, sat on the chair, and looked at the eldest lady in front of him with a hint of curiosity.
"But I think it's enough, although four people are a little small at the moment, but isn't it enough to take care of you and me?"
"If it's just the two of us, it's certainly not a problem, my lord. ”
Offariel raised a frown.
"But nobles need to mingle, contact, and party with each other, and if one day a nobleman wants to come to your castle as a guest, what will they see? A castle with only four people to put in order? Oh, by the way, there is only one maid among Erin? What do we want to say? I'm sorry, honorable sir, we are short on manpower, please wait a moment, and we will go and hire some outside? Lord, are you not trying to make this kind of thing difficult for other nobles? ”
"So how many people do you say you'll need?"
"At least ..............."
Thinking of this, O'Faryl thought for a moment, and then came up with the answer.
"Thirty people are needed. ”
"Thirty?"
Hearing this, Yulian finally couldn't be indifferent anymore.
"Isn't that too much? You know, no nobleman wants to come to this castle alive and talk to me, doesn't it? Don't forget, this is a castle with a terrible curse? Besides, thirty people, where are we going to find these thirty people?"
Although Yuren's recruitment has not been withdrawn in Twilight Town, except for these four people, everyone else in the town seems to still have lingering feelings about this ancient castle and are unwilling to work here. And the people who are willing to come here to work are people like Marfa who are proud of their family's history, that is, people who have no relatives like old Bemba, and even Irene, if it weren't for the early death of her parents and the fact that a ten-year-old girl couldn't find any work in the town. And the old mayor is also very helpless about this, but Yu Lian is very free and easy, since no one comes, it's better to go with him, anyway, there are still people around him now, right?
The only pity is that those spirit warriors have not been able to absorb enough soul power at the moment, otherwise, if they can be completely materialized, then they can wear maid outfits to do these trivial things, after all, one of the reasons why they are here is to serve someone who no longer exists. Therefore, this work is not too difficult for them. It's a pity that so far, even Judy, the best of them, has not absorbed enough soul power to transform into a human form, so Yulian can only give up.
"Then we can go and buy slaves. ”
Ofaril frowned, realizing that her lordship really didn't care about this matter at all.
"Although this is not a time of war, some educated slaves are not hard to find, my lord, I think you know what I mean. ”
"You can think about it again, can't you?"
In the face of Ofariel's questioning, Yulian pushed away as leisurely as always.
"Anyway, there is still time now, so it is better for us to focus on the construction of the town itself, which is the ......... we should pay attention to."
However, Yuren did not finish his words, because at this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, and then, Erin walked into the room, and her white, cute little face showed a little nervousness.
"My lord, someone wants to see you. ”
Standing in the empty hall, Thomson sat quietly on the sofa, carefully surveying the castle in front of him.
As a noble servant, Thomson has served the Bird family for thirty years, he has met many nobles, and he has also visited many nobles' castle domains, but, how to say it......... This is the first time Thomson has seen such a unique place. Although from the outside, this twilight castle is a little dilapidated, but after walking here, Thomson feels that his opinion is not correct, although the inside is empty, but it is not dirty, very clean and tidy, and the furniture is also quite organized, in the eyes of a senior servant, Thomson can even see some of the unknown doorways- The family crest hangs in the center of the hall, and on the lower sides of it, armor and swords are placed, all of which are ancient aristocratic traditions, and many nobles will use these ways to show their family glory and the way their family has risen to prominence.
It's just that this family crest seems a little weird...............
Thomson frowned, carefully observing the family crest above, and at that moment, a young voice came.
"Welcome to my castle, dear guest. ”
Hearing this, Thomson immediately withdrew his gaze, and he looked intently at the young man who walked down the stairs and towards him in front of him, and bent down slightly.
"Hello, Your Excellency. ”
He lowered his head as he removed his hat from his head and put it over his chest.
"On behalf of Lord Juvent Bird, the Viscount of the Bird family, I greet you. ”
"Please convey my gratitude to the Viscount. ”
Julien's response was equally flawless.
"Excuse me, ............ you are here this time?"
"Oh, yes. ”
As he spoke, Thomson straightened his back and reached out and pulled out a gilded letter from his bosom.
"In fact, as I think you know, this twilight forest has not been a lord for a long time, and it has been managed by our Bird family before, and because of this, the Viscount of Juventus wants to come and visit you and hand over some documents that originally belonged to your domain. ”
"I see. ”
Yu Lian showed a hint of "sudden realization", and then, he reappeared his original elegant and charming smile.
"Of course I welcome him, but when will Mr. Juventus leave?"
"If you agree, then in ten days my master will depart. ”
Thomson was quick to answer.
"Well, I will eagerly await his arrival, thank you for bringing me this good news. ”
Yuren said, reaching out and making a gesture.
"So ........."
"No, my lord, I will rush back as soon as possible and report the good news to my master, who I am sure will be touched by your enthusiasm. ”
With that, Thomson took his leave, and Yuren turned back with a helpless wry smile on his face after seeing him off, and looked at Ofariel, who was standing on the stairs and watching him silently.
"Ten Days ..............."
"At least ten people, my lord!"
This is the final answer given by O'Fariel.
ps: It's a little late today or past twelve o'clock, I'm sorry >_
