Chapter 155 Request (I want to enjoy Ancient OL starting today)
Earl Hasha is in his early forties this year. He is an ordinary man in his early forties. But to be honest, looking at his Mediterranean hairstyle and his melancholy face, Duanmu Huai would have even doubted him if An had not introduced him in advance. He is a person in his fifties or sixties...
Hmm, people who deal with numbers seem to be getting older? At least looking at him like this, he looks like someone who worked hard and dedicated himself to death. Maybe he has written a suicide note at home and is waiting for death from overwork all the time... It's not impossible.
After all, I heard that he is the Minister of Finance or a Minister? Forget it, it's not important.
"Thank you so much for your help in the matter before, especially Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the Knight... If it weren't for your sharp eyesight, I'm afraid my little girl would have already..."
Speaking of this, Earl Hasha was also in tears. Well...how to put it, it's understandable. After all, there are many scenes in urban emotional dramas where the heroine is looked down upon or bullied after her engagement is broken off. Although Duanmu Huai does not hang out in aristocratic circles, it is conceivable.
"Please don't do this, Ha Xiaqing, we just did what we should do."
An Ye hurriedly answered, signaling the earl not to care so much. After getting the princess's permission, Earl Hasha stood up, but he still lowered his head, looking ashamed. Then he expressed his gratitude to everyone again, and after rambling for a while, Earl Hasha finally plucked up the courage to make his request.
"Um... Actually, I have a merciless request."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Actually...it's about the little girl Audrey."
As he spoke, Earl Hasha looked at his daughter.
"I think all of you adults already know that no matter what, my daughter has no way to get married again..."
"There's no need to be so sure."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Even if it didn't happen before, it might happen in the future. Maybe she will find a good husband?"
"In fact, after this incident, my daughter has given up on marriage, so... I boldly request..."
Having said this, Earl Hasha looked at Duanmuhuai and hesitated for a moment.
"Please let my little girl be your exclusive maid, Your Majesty the Knight!"
"…………Huh?"
Hearing this unexpected request, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, but An jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands vigorously.
"Yes, there is also this trick, why didn't I think of it?"
"…………"
Which side are you from? !
Because An suddenly rebelled, Duanmuhuai finally just said that he wanted to think about it, and then sent the father and daughter away. It wasn't until the other party left that he reached out and grabbed An's cheek.
"Wow wow wow... Boom, boom! Wash the suction first——!!"
"It's true that a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Which side are you from?"
After rubbing An's face hard again, Duanmuhuai let An go and stared at her unhappily. The latter rubbed her red face and pouted her mouth.
"What does it matter? A dedicated maid is very good. In fact, if Earl Hasha hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. Mr. Knight, you are a noble now and you also need a dedicated maid."
"What kind of maid do I want? Besides, don't you two have maids?"
"Who said there isn't one? I have it at home! The same goes for Guleiya, right?"
"Ah..."
Hearing An suddenly pull her into the battlefield, Gu Leya was stunned for a moment, then she nodded.
"Yes..."
"Even so, it's too unreliable to let the eldest lady be a maid."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you said it wrong, Mr. Knight."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, An proudly puffed up his chest.
"Perhaps you don't know, in fact, almost all the maids in the palace are eldest ladies of the nobility?"
"...Is that so?"
"Of course! After all, we have to work in the palace. How can we hire people who don't know the details? And it's a waste of time to recruit people one by one for investigation, so we select people from trusted nobles to work as maids in the palace. So even though she is a young lady, in terms of daily life, she is not bad at all.”
"Oh, that's it..."
When An said this, Duanmu Huai was a little surprised at first, but it was right after thinking about it carefully. After all, the palace is an important place, and there is no way that people of unknown origins and identities can be allowed to do things in the palace. In particular, the job of a maid, although not too important, is to take care of the daily life of the royal family. If someone with bad intentions is allowed to come in, it will only bring danger to the royal family.
On the other hand, if they are the children of nobles, it means they have family endorsement. Once something goes wrong, it is likely to involve the entire family, so they will not mess around in the palace.
"In that case, why not send her to be a maid in the palace?" Duanmu Huai really didn't want to have anyone around him.
"This is not possible. After all, everything has spread now. If Audrey goes to work as a maid in the palace, she will be bullied by others. Otherwise, Earl Hasha will not come to Mr. Knight specially. Because the knight Sir, you are not only of high status, but also very powerful. In addition, you don’t have a dedicated maid by your side. Isn’t this just right? Or..."
While talking, An looked at Ogis curiously.
"Miss Ogis is your exclusive maid?"
"Well...it's not..."
As for whether Ogis is Duanmu Huai's maid, she is definitely not. After all, Ogis will not cook for Duanmu Huai, let alone help him change clothes, nor give him a bath. Strictly speaking, for Duanmu Huai, Ojisi is more like his subordinate and comrade-in-arms.
Not a maid anyway.
In fact, strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai has a maid, but... the other party's spirit is really not normal, so that after Duanmu Huai took her back, he had no intention of taking her out again. .
That's more like a murderer than a maid.
If possible, Duanmu Huai would never want to use her in his whole life...
"So, I think it is very convenient to have a dedicated maid. Many things can be left to her."
"For example?"
"For example, if you want to notify someone, accept letters and letters, deal with others as a representative, and handle financial and internal affairs... Mr. Knight, don't you think that maids are only used for washing, cooking and cleaning?"< br>
Isn't it?
Looking at An, Duanmuhuai really wanted to say this... After all, in his impression, there was no difference between a maid and a maid.
But to be honest, Duanmu Huai doesn't know exactly what the maids in the palace do. Just like when he watched Qing Dynasty dramas, he couldn't figure out the use of so many maids and nobles in the palace. Is it laundry and cooking? Or slaughter chickens and pigs? Or is it like a maid in a hotel, who is simply responsible for cleaning and serving food and water?
I have to say that for Duanmu Huai, this is really a mystery.
"Just like before, Mr. Knight, if you want to find Miss Lorena, wouldn't you send Miss Ogis to deliver the message? If you have a personal maid, then you don't need to send someone around you for this kind of thing. ”
"Wow...it seems to make sense..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai felt somewhat helpless. As An said, it would not be difficult for him to summon Lorena directly, but if he wanted help from the Holy Church, he would have to go there to handle the matter. Just make it clear. Well... In fact, Ogis didn't say it clearly. According to Lorena, when Ogis found her, she just said, "There is a devil, and the master wants your help"...
< br>
It has to be said that Ogis is really not a good choice when it comes to conveying information.
"It's better than this!"
At this moment, An seemed to think of a good idea and clapped her hands vigorously.
"Aren't we going to the West? Let's take Audrey with us. It will also allow Mr. Knight to experience the strength of the exclusive maid! How about treating it as an assessment? If Mr. Knight is satisfied, then let her do it Your exclusive maid, if you are not satisfied, Mr. Knight, is it not too late to let her go?”
"We're not here to have fun."
"Don't worry, I know Audrey's strength very well. Although she is not as good as me, she is still very good in the magic academy."
Hearing An's answer, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless. Apparently, looking at An's look, she was eager to treat Audrey as her exclusive maid. It's just... is the eldest lady's power really that strong?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and crossed it in the air. Soon, a card information appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
【Black Swan. Audrey (Gold)】
【Consumption: 6】
【Attack: 6】
【Defense: 5】
[At the end of your turn, inflict two points of damage to all enemy units]
"………………"
So awesome? !
Duanmu Huai was shocked when he saw the card introduction in front of him. Although 2 points of damage is not high, the problem is that it is total damage!
Although the attack power of An and Gu Leiya exceeds that of Audrey, they basically attack alone or in a range. If they attack as a whole, Duanmu Huai currently only has the [Relic of Divine Power] that is used with [Sky City]. It's okay to have this kind of power.
A mere noble lady actually has a weakened version of the overall attack effect?
And that black swan…………
Looking at the cards in front of him, Duanmu Huai hesitated for a moment, then made a decision.
"Okay."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked at An.
"Just as you said, let me see what she is capable of."
