Chapter Seventy-Nine: Arbitrariness
"Everything must be focused on the master, and you must have the consciousness of dedicating everything to the master, and you will slowly understand the specific situation later. ”
Albert Einstein spoke with a smile on his face.
Lulu got it. ”
Lulu replied in a soft, waxy voice.
"Answer 'yes'!"
"Yes!"
Sophia and Agni returned to the mansion and saw such a picture.
“...... What are the two of them doing? ”
To this, Jonathan, who was lazily sitting on the sofa and dozing off, replied.
"Albert Einstein is instilling in Lulu what to do as a maid. ”
For this kind of answer, the first impression that popped up in Sophia's mind was some kind of cult ritual.
"Is that okay? Aren't you going to teach Lulu some weird things again?"
Based on Sophia's actual experience, what Einstein did was a good thing for Lucia, but not necessarily for others, it could be an unexpected blessing or a flying disaster, and whether it was a blessing or a curse completely depended on how close to Lucia was.
Sophia's question was not easy to answer, so Jonathan smiled smartly and pretended not to hear.
Sophia also knew that Jonathan didn't want to offend Einstein's careful thoughts, and seeing that Jonathan didn't want to answer or reluctantly, she quickly changed the subject.
"Where's Lucia? Why didn't you see her?"
As soon as Sophia entered the door, she began to look for the figure that haunted her, even she didn't know what was wrong with her, recently as long as she thought of Lucia, she would feel very relieved, and when she saw Lucia, she would feel that the burden on her shoulders would be much lighter, and the fatigue of the day would disappear, and when she couldn't see it, she would feel empty in her heart, like she was missing some important part.
This time Jonathan still did not answer, not that Jonathan did not answer, but that Einstein stole the conversation before answering.
"My lord is very tired today and has fallen asleep. ”
Since the last conversation with Einstein broke up, Sophia didn't want to talk to Einstein at all, and from the impatience and disgust in Einstein's smile, it seemed that the other party should think the same as herself.
After a little struggle in her heart, Sophia was still ready to talk to Einstein, but there was no way, Einstein's words were too concerning, and she couldn't care much about what Lucia had done to be tired like this.
"Tired?"
"Yes, it's tiring. ”
Einstein closed his mouth after saying this, not looking to elaborate on it at all.
Sophia gas knot. What's going on with this black-hearted housekeeper, since he doesn't want to say it, why did he take the initiative to talk?
Without waiting for Sophia to express his displeasure, Einstein had unilaterally continued the conversation.
"My lord let me tell you that there is dinner left for you in the kitchen. ”
There was a little reluctance in Einstein's smile, but he still conveyed the master's words to Sophia.
"Thank you, mountain monkey, the mercy of our lord is the most precious thing in the world. ”
Einstein said something after that, but Sophia didn't listen to it at all, her mind was now completely filled with the dinner that Lucia left her, obviously just ordinary care, but it made Sophia's heart feel as warm as a little sun.
What is this feeling? warm, itchy, sweet, as dazzling as a jewel in the sun.
Ignoring Einstein, Sophia walked upstairs with a bright smile.
"I'm going to see Lucia. ”
The princess has been strange lately, and this is the most intuitive insight of the fire that was left in the hall.
This was the first time Agni had seen such a princess, and from time to time her mind wandered, often showing a sweet smirk, and her whole body bubbled pink at the mention of Lucia.
It's not normal, it's so abnormal, this doesn't look like what Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, who is known as the "treasure of the snowfield", will do it, no matter how you look at it, it's just a girl who is carried away by love.
No, no, no, how is this possible, how can it be so, you must know that it is Princess Sophia, who regards responsibility more than private feelings, and Agni has never seen Princess Sophia express her affection for anyone since she was a child, not to mention that the other party is a girl who is younger than Princess Sophia herself.
"It seems that I've been a bit overworked lately, and even I'm starting to think cranky. ”
The flames threw aside unreliable speculation. Although these cranky ideas are unreliable, they also sound a wake-up call for Agni, who has recently been too close to Lucia's master and servant, which is not a good thing for Her Royal Highness the princess, who is carrying the future of the country.
Agni remained suspicious of Lucia and Einstein, the unidentified master and servant. Albert Einstein, the butler, was resourceful, inhuman, and magical, and Lucia at first glance seemed to be a little natural, unworldly, but even more disobedient than Einstein.
It seems that it is still necessary to confirm it.
It was at this moment that Agni made a very risky decision.
――――[Dividing Line]――――
I don't know if it's because of the location or the climate, but the nights in Khiva are darker and darker than in other countries.
By moonlight, the flames burrowed into Lucia's room through the ventilation tunnel above the ceiling.
Lucia's room is isolated from the outside world by powerful lethal magic, but there is no magic for the inside to avoid accidental damage, which is also convenient for Operation Fire, after all, Fire has no means to break the magic.
Holding his breath and falling lightly from the ceiling, Agni was nervous, his eyes staring at Lucia who was in bed for a moment.
Lucia lay quietly on the bed, her silver hair spread around her body like a halo, and the moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains on Lucia's face, making her as quiet as the goddess of the night, without the vitality of the day, but with a more transparent beauty.
Seeing that Lucia did not move, Agni breathed a sigh of relief, and the next action could be launched.
Agni chose to sneak into Lucia's room in the middle of the night not to admire Lucia's sleeping face, but to look for any clues that might exist.
This is simply a plan full of loopholes that Agni himself feels that the success rate is too low, but it is also a plan that has to be executed, the reason is simple, that is, in the crisis that may come at any time, you can't allow such a dangerous uneasy element to exist around, and in any case, at least confirm whether Lucia is friend or foe, not that vague sense of companionship, but need more conclusive evidence.
Time was pressing, and Agni confirmed that Lucia showed no signs of waking up, and began to search the room carefully. It's a very difficult time, and I think that there is no target for the body, so I can only say that everything that comes into sight is included in the search object, because there is no specific target, so I can't be sure if there will be any omissions, although it is not to the extent of finding a needle in a haystack, but it is not much worse.
The drawer of the dresser was opened, and there were jewels made of precious materials, the worst of which were made of Mithril, and the closet was filled with clothes and boots made of furs, scales, or other materials of various powerful monsters. Not only that, but the furniture and the wood and stone used for decoration in this room belonging to Lucia are all extremely luxurious and high-end materials, even in the royal palace.
Agni was sure that this room was definitely not like this, after all, the decoration used in this one room far exceeded the value of the entire mansion, and it was not necessary to guess that this kind of behavior of not taking wealth as a matter was definitely the work of Einstein, and only this inhuman butler would use this level of wealth for a young girl to play with.
Almost the entire room was turned upside down, and Agni didn't find the evidence he was looking for, and the only thing he knew was that Lucia's master and servant were rich.
Agni was a little discouraged, but such a result was also expected, so Agni didn't get too entangled, but it was a little regrettable, as long as there was no solid evidence for a day, Agni Jue couldn't completely let down his guard against Lucia and Einstein, which is the caution that Agni must be as a princess guard.
Maintaining a high level of vigilance made Agni feel mentally fatigued, and she rubbed her temples with her fingers, and the stimulation of acupuncture points relieved Agni's fatigue to a certain extent.
When he felt better, Agni was ready to search more closely, this time even some details that were not normally possible.
With this in mind, Agni reached out to the mirror on the wall, intending to see if there would be a hidden dark grid behind the mirror, and such an action would inevitably see the picture in the mirror, and it was this moment of glimpse that made Agni feel that his heart had stopped.
