Chapter 9: The Family of Inheritors
The next morning, Roy pushed open the door with his school bag.
Today, Monday, is the day of school.
"Huh?"
Before he knew it, it was autumn, the weather was getting colder, and the fallen leaves in the yard had piled up a lot, and he saw a girl in a wide maid costume cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
I remembered that this was the maid I picked up yesterday morning, named Arya Christian.
Roy didn't alarm her, but stood still, quietly looking at the girl.
Yesterday, I was reminded by Harvey, but now that I look closely, I find that this girl is really familiar, and she should have passed by many times in school.
Recalling her graceful figure after taking off her maid costume, although she still looks green, she is very well developed compared to her peers.
When I first saw her, I thought she was a little girl, which was outrageously wrong, and Arya was a proper royal sister potential stock.
Coupled with her delicate and fair face, as well as her aristocratic status, it is no wonder that she will be worshiped as a goddess by the group of young boys in the school who are just starting to fall in love.
But Roy is not interested in school love, he is burdened with the hope of the revival of the Arnold family, and there are too many things to think about.
If nothing had happened to Arya's family, the trajectories of his and the girl's lives would have been like two parallel lines, and there would be no intersection between them.
But now the two live under the same roof, and the girl has become his maid, and he is the girl's young master.
Maybe it's fate.
But what did she mean by her attempt to dedicate herself yesterday?
There was no slavery in Sidnia.
In Roy's mind, maids, like retainers, were not the property of the family, and the contracts they signed were protected by the laws of Sidney, and they were a proper profession entrusted with loyalty.
He didn't know if the ambiguity between master and servant was common in aristocratic circles, after all, the Arnold family had not hired a maid since he was born.
The only maid in the house is Aunt Mary, the wife of Sebas's butler, who serves as the head cook of the house, and is also in her fifties this year.
Looking at it this way, the life he has lived in the past fourteen years is simply not like the life that a noble young master should live.
However, he has the memories of his previous life, and he has formed an independent personality in his own right, and no one has taken care of him all these years, which is exactly what he wants.
On the other hand, a certain aristocratic lady who is used to being taken care of by others, if she suddenly becomes a maid who takes care of others, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to it in a short time, right?
I saw that Arya finally swept all the fallen leaves in the courtyard together and stacked them into a hill.
As a result, as soon as she walked away with her front feet, a bitter autumn wind blew from her back feet, blowing the stacks of fallen leaves all over the sky, and the early morning efforts were suddenly in vain.
"Leaf, leaf it!"
Arya stared blankly at the fluttering leaves and let out a mournful scream.
She hurriedly waved the broom, trying to make up for it, but she stepped on the wide, heavy maid's skirt that reached her ankles and fell hard.
"Ahh......h
There was a little cry in her screams.
Roy covered his eyes silently.
This maid doesn't seem to be very smart.
It took a while for her to put the fallen leaves back together.
This time she learned wisely, stacked the fallen leaves in a leeward corner, and then quickly took out the dustpan and shoveled all the garbage into the bamboo basket.
Finally close with a lid.
Glancing at the clean and tidy courtyard, her little face suddenly brightened, with a hint of satisfaction, as if she had just done something remarkable.
Only then did she notice Roy, who was secretly observing from the sidelines.
The smile on Arya's face vanished suddenly, and with a hint of restraint, she bent down towards him and bowed deeply.
"Hello young master!"
"......" Roy swallowed back when he said the words, and could only smile bitterly.
He could understand why Arya was so nervous to see him.
If she wants to stay in the Arnold family, she is the one she must curry favor with.
Perhaps it is because of this that she did not hesitate to make the decision to dedicate herself yesterday.
Roy walked over to Arya's side.
She still maintained the movement of bowing, and her pale blonde hair fell down her fair and delicate ears, so that people could not see the expression on her face.
It is also unknown how long she wandered alone after losing the protection of her family. It is also a matter of course to be wary of strangers and carefully hide your emotions.
Roy sighed in his heart, and then said, "If you're done with what you need to do, you can come to my room in the evening to read a book—if you're interested in studying." ”
As he spoke, he patted his bag.
In Roy's eyes, the four years of elementary college are like nine years of compulsory education in the previous life, even if you don't go to a college to study, as long as you finish learning step by step, the whole person's temperament and way of thinking will be very different from those who have not read.
Arya had been cultivated as a noble lady in her previous life, which also had the advantage that her cultural literacy was much higher than that of ordinary maids.
It's a pity if you don't continue to study with this kind of foundation.
At the same time, with the economic state of the Arnold family, I am afraid that the government will not recruit new servants for a long time.
He also hopes that the only maid in the family can have a certain cultural foundation, so that he can share more work for the family.
"I see, young master." Arya said obediently.
Roy nodded.
After breakfast, he went to school at the Kassel Elementary School.
In the second class of the fourth grade, he checked the class card and walked into the classroom.
Sure enough, Harvey was late. It is better to say that he skipped the morning class directly, and did not appear in the classroom lazily until noon.
"What's the afternoon class?"
Harvey patted Roy on the shoulder, then yawned.
"What classes are important to you?" Roy glanced at him, "Look at your dark circles, you must have had a great time last night, right?" ”
"You see that?"
Harvey's eyes were intoxicated, "The taste of women is wonderful, if you have tasted it, maybe you will be more addicted than me?" ”
Roy snorted, "The person you wrote love letters to lives in my house right now, do you think I've tasted it?" ”
Anyway, it's not illegal to brag, come on, hurt each other!
"You!" Harvey's eyes widened, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back three words, "Count you ruthless!" ”
"Roy, Harvey, someone's looking for you." A classmate shouted at them.
"Huh?" The two looked towards the door.
Standing at the door was a boy of their age, with a greasy back, and even when he was waiting for someone, he still used his hands to arrange his shiny hairstyle from time to time.
At first glance, it is an old hairspray hand.
His name is Arthur Adams, and he is from Class 1 next door. It's also a nobleman.,And also awakened the inheritance.,It's the "sword cultivation" of the warrior job.。
Roy had met him twice, but he didn't know him very well, but Harvey was born with diplomatic, and he didn't know if he had inherited the genes of the family businessman, so he walked up to talk to him familiarly.
School is a microcosm of society, and even a 14-year-old boy still understands the principle of people gathering like others.
They know each other because they are in the same circle of inheritors.
As inheritors, even after graduation, we will go to the Inheritor Academy together to study, and maybe we will still be colleagues in the future, so we got to know each other in several gatherings early.
Arthur came this time to inform them that there was a gathering of inheritors tonight.
For the party, although Roy is not cold, he still chooses to attend.
He thinks it's a hassle to deal with people, but he also understands that it's a necessary means of communication to fit in.
Mavericks don't have good juice to eat, especially in the small circle of inheritors, most of whom come from famous families and have a certain influence in all walks of life in Sidney.
Most of the inheritors come from nobles with names and surnames, because the blood of the inheritors can be inherited.
High-level inheritors refer to those inheritors who are above the sixth order, and when a person becomes a high-level inheritor, his excellent inheritor bloodline will have a probability of being passed on to future generations.
Therefore, the probability of the descendants of high-level inheritors awakening to become inheritors is dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people.
This is the so-called family of inheritors.
The ancestors of each hereditary nobleman have at least one high-level inheritor, so every noble family is a family of inheritors.
However, the purity of the bloodline between each inheritor family is also different, and the bloodline of the Arnold family belongs to the more ordinary kind, and before Roy, there have been three consecutive generations who have not awakened to become inheritors.
And there is a family of inheritors, each of whom has cultivated into a high-level inheritor, and its inheritor bloodline has been refined to the point where it can almost guarantee the awakening of the offspring one hundred percent thanks to the efforts of generations.
The descendants of this kind of family are not only born inheritors, but also have quite high talents, and it is not too much to call them the pride of the sky.
And it just so happens that such a proud son of heaven has one in Kassel Elementary Academy, and he is in the same class as them.
As a result, this proud son of heaven naturally became the core figure in the circle of inheritors of the Kassel Primary Academy, and he also took the lead in organizing the weekday gatherings.
He...... Of course, it wasn't Arthur Adams, the hairspray hand in front of him, Arthur was just his dogleg, usually responsible for helping him deliver news to the other inheritors in the school.
His name is Qin Xiang, and he is a descendant of the Qin family, a family of "sword cultivators".
Sidenia is the only main city of humanity in the continent of Eden, and it is inhabited by a variety of human races. Their ancestors came from different regions, but they all eventually migrated to the foot of the World Tree, so their surnames are also very strange.
And the surname Qin inherently gave Roy a sense of closeness, which came from the memories of his previous life.
The Qin family in Sidenia is recognized as the purest bloodline in the "Sword Cultivation" lineage, and from ancient times to the present, all of its descendants are inheritors, and most of them have awakened to become "Sword Cultivation".
They are also very strong, and a considerable number of them have left their names in the history of Sidney.
And Qin Xiang, as the young master of the Qin family, awakened as early as the age of five and became a "sword cultivator", and has attracted everyone's attention since he entered school.
It must be admitted that even if everyone is a inheritor, there is a huge gap between the inheritors.
Just like the Arthur Adams in front of him, he is also the inheritor, but he was called by Qin Xiang at will and was used as a useful microphone.
And not only did he not feel angry because of Qin Xiang's dispatch, but he was proud of it, believing that this was a proof of good friendship with the Qin family.
After all, other people want to tie up with Qin Xiang, I'm afraid they don't even have this opportunity!
