Chapter 21: Cleaning

Char was much younger than Alicia had imagined, but as she had imagined, it was indeed beautiful.

Char's foundation in the past was good, perhaps because he inherited the power of fate, or perhaps because the hero of this fate he inherited was originally a little white face, his skin was in better condition, his teeth were whiter, and his facial features were more coordinated.

After losing his heart, he approached the mentality of wanting nothing and wantless, so that his temperament became calm and mysterious.

Char came down the stairs, took the copper kettle from the cupboard, took some water from the sink, and placed it on Cassif's body.

Then he looked at Alicia again, and looked at him with a little curiosity on his face.

"Have I seen you?"

"No, we've never seen one."

Alicia lied without changing her face, and in a sense, it was not a lie, after all, she really didn't "see" him, and she was not the same as before.

She didn't want the person in front of her to know that she was the princess at the ball, it had nothing to do with secrets, hearts, or anything, so she didn't want him to know anyway.

"So, can you tell me why you're here?"

Char continued as he removed the boiling copper kettle from the fire and poured himself a cup of hot water and set it aside to cool down.

"I just spent the night last night." Alicia said truthfully, "Your magic fire is very respectful of the old man, and it took me in when it saw that I was pitiful. ”

"Yes." Char glanced at Cassifer.

"But now, I feel like I have to stay here for a long time." Alicia said seriously.

Char looked at her with interest, "Why?" ”

"Aren't you unaware? Child. ”

Alicia's voice was hoarse and old, slowing down her speech, trying to pretend to be some old and wise elder, in fact, even if she didn't.

He walked to the workbench on the side, stretched out his wrinkled hand and wiped it on the table, and then showed Char his dusty fingers.

"Look, you're so dirty that you can't live in it."

Char looked around, then nodded, "It seems that there is indeed a little, so, what do you want to say?" ”

"You need a cleaner here!" Alicia said.

"Are you good at cleaning?" Char looked at Alicia and said.

"You can try me for a month!" Alicia confidently said, "I can do it without paying!" ”

"Sounds good." Char Road.

"That's great." Cassifer smiled on the side, "Char can't afford to pay your wages. ”

Hearing this, Alicia asked with some curiosity, "Will the wizard still be short of money?" ”

"I just got here." Char said, "There is no currency for this country yet. ”

Alicia suddenly remembered what she had heard from the maid when she was in the dormitory.

Shortly after arriving here..... Isn't it because he just arrived in the world.....

What the hell is he, enslaved a demon, could it be a demon too....

Eating hearts is also like something that demons would do.

Alicia felt that she was very close to the truth.

But it gave her an extra leverage to keep around.

She continued, "In that case, I can help you, I have a lot of money." ”

Char raised her eyebrows, continued to raise the water glass in her hand, gently blew the hot air on it, took a sip, and said nothing.

"When people are old and don't have children, they always save some money for retirement, don't they?" Alicia raised her eyebrows.

"You mean, not only will you give me day jobs, but you will also give me money?" Char teased.

"You see, kid." Alicia said in an old-fashioned manner, "At my age, money is already the most insignificant thing, but people always have to be self-fulfilling.

For example, I love to clean, and to be honest, you're the dirtiest house I've ever seen, so I can't get out of here. ”

Char bowed, "That's a good reason." ”

"You mean, I can stay?" Alicia said happily.

"I don't like to make choices, but if you want to stay, I won't kick you away." Char Road.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief, if it didn't last, she really didn't know what to look for.

However, the joy did not last long, and her stomach growled, and she had eaten some bread after walking so far yesterday, and was now hungry.

She looked at Char, "I suppose you wouldn't be stingy with providing breakfast for me, poor old lady, would you?" ”

Char got up, walked to the side of the cupboard, took out a dinner plate with a dinner plate lid from it, placed it on the table, removed the lid, and inside was a cut cake, the same kind that Char ate at the banquet.

Yes, he also packed.

Although the cake has a short shelf life, it is only a day away, and the inside of the castle is not very hot, so it is still edible.

"Eat." Char Road.

"Thank you." Alicia staggered to the table and sat down, while Char handed her a fork, the only one he had ever washed.

Although she was tired and hungry, she still ate very decently, and there was an unconcealable extravagance.

Enjoy the perfect meal, Alicia put down her fork and said.

"It's delicious, like a pastry chef in the palace."

Because it was made by the pastry chef in the palace, Char thought to herself.

"Where's the broom here?"

"Is it time to start?" Char laughed.

Alicia rolled up her sleeves, revealing her skinny old arms, "I'm so motivated right now!" ”

To be honest, she has been blind for so long, and she doesn't really pay much attention to the living environment, but as a person who has lived in the palace, the dust that can be raised by casual walking is really unbearable for her.

The thought of staying here for a while in the future made her eager to clean it.

She was a cleaner when she was a child, and although she was a royal daughter, she lived outside the palace until she was eight years old.

At that time, her father had some conflicts with the royal family, and she couldn't remember exactly why, but it should be some clichΓ© stories anyway.

At that time, the house she lived in was actually not much bigger than this, and that time was her happiest.

She tied an old strip of cloth to her sparse gray hair, made a simple mask, covered her face, and found an old tablecloth from the broom cabinet to use as an apron.

She plans to clean the first floor first, the room is not big, and it won't take much time.

She grabbed a bucket of water from the pool, then picked up a broom and got to work.

The castle was so dirty and scary, and as the broom was cleaned, the whole room was dusty, and Cassifah was choking and coughing violently, and he complained to Char.

"Hey! Char, can't you just make her move quieter? ”

"Never interrupt a woman when she's in the mood." Char said.

Then, he picked out a book from the pile of books on the workbench on one side, ignored Cassifer, who was choking on the dust on one side and coughing, and walked up the stairs....
