37 The Achilles' heel of the steward

"Simple?"

The girl with long black hair who kept her posture surprised when she heard this.

Looking at Andy in front of her, she seemed to be looking at a drunkard who had drunk too much and was talking nonsense.

Has this man forgotten how badly he was suppressed by the housekeeper in the first place?

Obviously, as the first place, he was deprived of all rights and interests by the housekeeper in a few words.

should have an infinitely bright future and become a hero touted by everyone.

In the end, he suffered so much coldness and humiliation, and even had to hide in this remote island for a long time, trying to become a formal transcendent.

Not long ago, the person who rescued him was tortured by the steward, and the ugliness of wailing and begging for mercy was watched by thousands of people in the form of video......

All of this shows that the gap between the two sides in strength is extremely wide and that they are not at the same level at all.

As a result, now Andy said that the old butler who made him extremely embarrassed was very easy to deal with?

"Do you mean to assassinate him?"

Lily then came up with a barely plausible explanation, and then felt a burst of amusement.

"Let's not talk about how serious the consequences of assassinating the royal housekeeper will be, the assassination itself alone cannot be done at all."

"That butler himself is a senior wizard professional, and his abilities are among the best in his country, not to mention that he still has many subordinates and secret treasures as a means of protection......"

Thinking that Andy, an outsider, did not know the stakes, the nun who sat down again explained it to him carefully.

Andy, however, was not referring to assassination.

"Do you like to go shopping?" He asked a question that seemed to be the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth.

"I have a friend who likes it very much." Lily replied, looking a little puzzled, not knowing what Andy meant by asking.

"Well, you and your friends." Andy asked, "Have you ever experienced a situation where you were neglected by the staff in some luxury stores in the past?" ”

"There aren't luxury stores."

Lily frowned and said, "But when we go to the Imperial Royal Bank to handle business, we are always annoyed by the arrogant attitude of the bank staff. ”

"Why are those people so arrogant?"

"I have a bad personality, and I still can't understand why the bank manager has attracted such a group of ......."

Her voice gradually weakened, and finally stopped the sentence completely, and the look on her face that had been puzzled by Andy's question turned to yes.

"The Royal Bank of the Empire is a high-end business, and they receive a lot of big people, and the big people are usually very polite to them."

"So gradually, they think that they are people of the same level as those big people, and they are naturally not very patient with small roles like us who come to handle business - am I right?"

Without waiting for Andy to respond, she added:

"You mean that the housekeeper, like the bank clerks, is not qualified to be rude to his customers, but by his position?"

"No," said Andy, "you have to think a little deeper, why I say that the butler is very easy to deal with. ”

"Thinking deeper?"

After pondering for a moment, the girl faintly realized: "The Royal Bank hired those staff members to serve customers, not to let them rely on the power of the bank to act arbitrarily?" ”

"Their current behavior may be protected by their leaders, but once the real boss of the bank knows all this, those arrogant staff will definitely be punished or even fired?"

"You think deeper," Andy repeated, "why do I say that the butler is very easy to deal with?" ”

"Still going deeper?"

The girl frowned when she heard this.

Looking at the black-haired boy sitting on the other side of the wooden table, his face slightly hazy from the dim light of the early morning, she groaned for a long time and suddenly understood.

"The purpose of the royal family's hiring of a butler is to hope that he will serve the royal family, not rely on the authority of the royal family to act recklessly."

Seeing Andy's eyebrows raised, she hurriedly added: "But the housekeeper himself ignored this and worked for the royal family all the year round, making him mistakenly believe that the authority of the royal family is his own authority, so he did some actions one after another that seemed to serve the royal family, but in fact he was satisfying his own desires." ”

To put it simply, the housekeeper has been lost in the power trap that does not belong to him, and his mind is not clear. The surface is majestic, but it is destined to have no good end! ”

The more she spoke, the more correct Lily felt that this idea was correct.

It can be seen from the fact that Andy was suppressed in the Star Sanctuary at the beginning.

Obviously, you can deal with Andy in private, and let Andy disappear and exit silently.

The butler, however, had to stand up at the right time, in the midst of all the excitement of the crowd, and force all opposing voices......

Of course, this can be seen as an example to the monkey and proclaim the inviolability of the royal family.

But York, a thousand-year-old royal family, has long been in the bones of all subjects.

Can the housekeeper do that kind of behavior that seems to be majestic, but actually makes the onlookers suffer a blow in the face, feel very aggrieved, and even annoyed?

Andy was the biggest victim in this incident, but didn't the onlookers who had supported him feel offended?

There must be.

During this time, everyone didn't dare to say anything in public, but in private, about Andy, they were always discussed.

The news even spread to neighboring countries, provoking many ridicule.

What would this be a good thing for the royal family of York?

In addition, from the incident that happened yesterday, we can also get a glimpse of the housekeeper who has been "lost" and cannot recognize his own evidence.

Distribute the video of the execution to all the transcendent families in the local area to deter the thieves in the shadows.

This move is understandable.

A large-scale search of the mansions of major families to collect clues against the thieves is also barely acceptable.

But what is the reason for asking the transcendents to write the video of the execution?

Can the housekeeper still dig out the clues of who is the thief from the after-view?

What could such a humiliating act do but satisfy his own desire for control?

It can be said that this kind of behavior will not only not bring deterrence to the anti-thieves, but will also make the potential group of people who support the anti-thieves continue to expand......

"He's not going to be from our side, is he?" Lily even had that thought.

A servant does not take the interests of the master as the core, but relies on the authority given by the master, indulges wantonly, does not care whether his behavior damages the interests of his master, and still makes a big show......

Now that I think about it, the service effect that the butler brings to the royal family is not as strong as the destructive effect he brings!

The royal family knows all this, but is too lazy to pay attention?

Or did the royal family not know that there was someone above who shielded the butler and hid some "small details" of his work for him?

Can't be sure.

But in any case, this kind of temperament of wantonly using power that does not belong to oneself to "make profits" is a weakness for the steward.

Achilles' heel!

He doesn't know how to retreat!

Just like a corrupt official accumulating wealth, the more he is "greedy", the more negative effects he causes, and the more deadly it will be!

It is even conceivable that the housekeeper on the surface has been so arrogant in abusing power for personal gain, and secretly, has he done more things to "profit" for himself?

If there is, after digging out all this, can the royal family remain indifferent?

Does he have a backer, does he rely on?

But you know, the royal family of York is now fighting crazy for the upcoming crown prince......

This discovery made Lily's heart beat faster, and she had a faint feeling that she might be able to accomplish something big.

But then, she suddenly realized the other side of the story.

Andy's words made her suddenly realize that she saw the butler's Achilles' heel.

But this weakness is obvious, and even she, a young man, can react with a little reminder.

Didn't her elders find out?

Found out, but didn't tell her?

No way.

Last night's conversation with my grandfather was open and honest, and the old man couldn't have been more straightforward about many of the dark sides, even at the expense of revealing the family scandal.

If the grandfather really knew about this, then when she, the granddaughter, felt frustrated, he would definitely use it to boost the "morale".

Even if grandfather doesn't say it, father will definitely mention it to her!

Why don't they say it?

Because you don't know?

How could it not be known?

Is it because you're too stupid?

Or are they, and all the people in the kingdom, ...... Domesticated?

Domesticated by the millennial authority of the House of York, and even the most obvious weakness of the steward, they turn a blind eye and take it for granted?

But if this is the case, then what are the so-called anti-thieves, the so-called resistance organizations, leading this rebellion?

Their unclear-headed, unoffensive will?

"It's easy to get rid of the butler, but the means to get rid of him need to use the behemoth of the royal family."

Seeing that the excited expression on the girl's face quickly cooled down, it became cloudy and uncertain, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Andy, who was sitting across from her, comforted: "It's risky, some people may think about it, but don't think it's worth it." ”

"Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits."

The girl with the blood of an island country slowly spit out an ancient saying from the Far East.

"If there is a risk, how big can it be? Everyone knows that the royal family is now fighting fiercely, what risk can it take advantage of that weakness to get rid of the housekeeper? ”

"Even a single butler doesn't dare to target them, who would believe that they dare to fight the royal family head-on?"

Andy didn't speak.

There are some things he can say, and some things that are inconvenient to say.

As the girl said, the risk of this matter is indeed not great, and if it is handled well, there will not even be any sequelae for the anti-thief organization.

But what's the use of that?

Housekeeping is the result of the problem, not the root of it.

Without this result, there is the next one.

It can even be said that if there is a housekeeper, the thieves will make a profit......

But the nun in front of her was already emotional, and did not think about all this.

Maybe it was the humiliation she had suffered last night, or maybe it was her grandfather's words that made her unbearable and desperate to prove something.

"What do you think I should do?"

The girl asked the question next, her expression full of determination, and she looked willing to take risks.

Andy didn't speak, and after glancing at the nun with a slightly complicated look, he got up and went to the bedroom to get a piece of letter paper and a pen.

After sitting back in his seat, he wrote a letter without raising his head: "To be precise, what should we do." ”
