Thursday, June 21.

Half past nine in the morning, in the Hillston district, inside an upscale hotel.

After talking to the two housekeepers alone, Valera made a decision.

Interestingly, her final decision was the opposite of her initial intention to help the Metropolitan Household Servants Association.

At the time, she was more concerned about the level of professionalism, so she preferred the first housekeeper, Lori.

But when she was talking, Valilla could sense that from time to time there would be waves of evil desires in her heart, and although the magnitude was not large, it was enough to deduct points.

Later, Valilla, with her skills in the language of the "instigator", made Lady Lori tell her a lot of her experience and insights in the position of housekeeper under the pretense of not knowing enough about the functions of the housekeeper.

It has to be said that Ms. Lori is impeccable in terms of professionalism.

Valilla smiled and asked Miss Lori to wait at the café downstairs for a while, and asked her to help call the second housekeeper, Kana, to talk.

At this time, the professional content that Lori had just said became Valeera's tool to test Kana.

After some conversation, Valilla found that although Kana had not really worked as a housekeeper and was inferior to Lori in terms of professionalism, she still had a solid foundation.

Crucially, Valilla didn't sense any signs of evil rising in her.

In Valeera's eyes, this is a big plus!

So, as Kana finished answering her last question, anxiously waiting for a reply, Valera stood up with a smile and said:

"Reacquaint, Valilla Vecchi, your employer."

Kana looked up in surprise, her eyes full of surprise.

Before talking to Valilla alone, she and Lori had a brief conversation in the café downstairs.

At that time, Kana obviously felt that the other party was more professional than herself, and I was afraid that this time she would have to run in vain.

But she obviously didn't expect that Valera had a different selection criteria.

After a short period of surprise, Kana quickly restrained her expression and saluted:

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Three things."

Valilla picked up a silver brooch on the table and handed it to Kana.

It was a small gift that she had asked the hostel to buy for her in the morning, worth about two pounds, as compensation for the unsuccessful candidates.

"First, please help me bring this brooch to Ms. Lori in the café downstairs and convey my apologies and thanks."

"Second, please help me find a male butler who has preferably served nobles, and an appropriate number of servants, and a solicitor, and draw up a professional contract."

Kana nodded her head as she took the brooch.

"Thirdly, and what we are going to do next," Valilla said aptly with a look of remembrance, "to see my family's long-vacant home, where we will live in the future." ”

"Your task is to find a team of professionals to carry out a complete inspection and repair of it."

"Yes, miss." Kana nodded in response, "Then I'll go down first, and then I'll come up and call you when the carriage is hired?" ”

Kana was acutely aware that she would have to take on the duties of a valet until the other servants were in place.

Seeing Valeera nod in agreement, she saluted again, then took a few steps back and turned to leave the suite.

After about ten minutes, Kana returned.

"Miss, it's been arranged, we can go."

Valera nodded, and with Kana's help, opened the cloakroom and picked out a light-colored wide-brimmed gauze hat to put on.

Kana tied her dog on a leash and led Harpy to the door, opening the door so that Valier could go out.

She was glad that she hadn't forgotten her duties as a valet.

……

West End, 67 Williams Street, Qili's ancestral home.

Kana tore off several long vines from the black iron fence gate and with some difficulty opened the gate with some difficulty with the key Valera had given her.

The smooth concrete road behind the gate was mostly covered by a long lawn, and only in the middle of the province was a narrow path covered with a shallow layer of dirt.

Valilla took Kana's hand and walked to the three-story building in the middle.

Afterward, Valera and Kana entered the house and walked around the dusty house.

From the foyer with multiple chairs and umbrella stands...... to a hall where dozens or hundreds of guests can dance...... to the square cloister on the second floor and many rooms with different functions...... Finally, to the main living area on the third floor......

Valilla saw many items unique to the Vicky family, such as portraits of ancestors of a certain generation, such as armored figurines with family coats of arms, and so on.

Although it was the first time she had seen this, Valilla still made all kinds of corresponding expressions everywhere she went, whether it was a sigh, or a reminiscence, or a smile...... It's as if she's really had a life here.

Compared to the slightly mottled exterior walls, the interior of the house is fairly well preserved, and the furniture is rarely damaged.

Finally, in the semi-open room with a bar on the third floor, where you can enjoy the sun and the view, Valera pointed to the wooden cross in the direction of the backyard on the right and said:

"The two-metre area around the cross is to be kept as it is, and other than that, the area that should be repaired should be repaired and restored in as much as possible in its original style."

"This includes not only what I brought up before, but also what I haven't found out yet."

Kana met Valeera's gaze, nodded solemnly, and replied:

"I remember, miss."

……

After lunch, Valilla let Kana away and told her to complete her assigned task.

Before Kana left, Valilla handed her a bearer cheque from the Beckland Bank for £1,200.

This is one of several checks left by Qili, and Valeera hopes it will cover the upfront expenses.

Of course, since Kana hasn't signed a contract yet, Valilla has secretly collected one of her hairs as a guarantee.

Although she had already judged that Kana had a good temperament, but with a lot of money involved and no contract constraints, Valilla tended to be a little more conservative.

In the afternoon, she changed her outfit and went to Jowood, where she left a meeting message in the apartment rented by Hugh and Furth in the way she had agreed to and tried to restore contact with them.

After that, Valiera went to her lodgings in the Bridge District and rested for a while, preparing to go to the docklands after dark to trouble Marke.

……

In the evening, Crane returned to his room, spread out his notebook, and wrote:

"On June 21, he mentioned the 'Black Emperor', which is completely contradictory to the times deduced from the previous content, is the mentor's opinion wrong, 'Black Emperor' is actually the common title of every emperor of the Solomon Empire?"
