Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 521 Waiting for your reply
After the boy finished speaking on his own, he looked directly at the girl and waited for her reply.

"Ah? This...but, but..."

Aso froze for a moment.On the surface, the identity of a maid is indeed like a slave who will be restricted in personal freedom, but in fact it is very different.To put it bluntly, slaves are bought to do hard work like livestock in captivity, without any power, while maids and servants are more like playmates and friends. Although they must obey the master's words, they have With their own dignity, they can even make some requests and suggestions to the master.

Every nobleman can have many attendants in his life, but there can only be one real personal attendant or maid, they are the most loyal people to themselves.There is a saying that a personal servant will not betray his master even if he betrays the country.So generally speaking, nobles would cherish their personal servants very much, and many would even treat them as their own brothers and sisters.Therefore, there are still many people who are willing to do this kind of work as servants. For those children from poor families, this is equivalent to giving them a chance to soar into the sky.

Not to mention the royal attendants.Being a maid of the royal family is a great honor for the clansmen, and this kind of job is what many people desperately want.

However, the selection qualifications for royal attendants are too strict, and they have to go through many screenings. More importantly, only those who have been selected into the Anbu are eligible to be selected. This prerequisite has excluded 90.00% of ordinary people.The one who can be selected into Anbu is not a genius of a race?So for ordinary people, royal attendants have always been just a dream.

And Asuo was able to get this opportunity this time, thanks to the queen.Naturally, she was not dissatisfied with having such an identity. After all, no matter how bad the maid was, it was better than freezing to death in that snow nest.

Especially after seeing the young man again, she found that His Royal Highness was not as scary as the rumors said. On the contrary, it made her feel treated as an equal for the first time, which also dispelled Asuo's last worries.So Asuo has completely accepted his fate and is ready to live as a maid.

However, at this time the boy suddenly proposed such a condition, which immediately made her at a loss.I froze in place, awkwardly not knowing how to answer.

"but what?"

Seeing the girl's shyness, the boy couldn't help frowning slightly. He thought that the conditions he proposed were good enough. Could it be that the girl couldn't satisfy such conditions?
"But, but... this is my job... Yes, His Majesty endured the criticism for me... I must cherish it..."

Asuo fiddled with his fingers, said falteringly, and at the same time secretly raised his head to see the boy's reaction.

"Huh? What is this?"

The boy was terribly struck by thunder, and he really didn't expect the girl to answer like that.

"Really...don't care about you..."

The conversation between the two froze again. The boy didn't know how to deal with this situation for a while, so he could only drop this sentence, turn his head and leave the yard.

"Hey?"

The girl came back to her senses, only to realize that the boy was about to go out, and hurriedly ran two steps behind him with her head lowered.

Although Asuo still doesn't understand what the maid should do, but...it's always right to follow the master...

"Hey, don't follow me!"

Just when she was thinking this way, the boy turned around and said this.Then he ran away quickly.

Now Asuo was even more at a loss. With a dazed effort, the boy jumped onto the roof with a few steps, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Leaving Asuo alone in place, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"What should I do? I lost His Highness... Now I'm going to be arrested..."

……

An hour later, somewhere in the palace, the boy was walking alone in the empty corridor.

"I have met His Royal Highness, may the sun shine on you forever!"

Every few hundred meters on the road, you will meet several patrolling soldiers, and you will bow your head and salute when you see him.

The sun has been the totem of the blood race since ancient times, symbolizing the supreme glory of the blood race, so guards usually use the sun to bless the royal family when they see the royal family.

"Thank you, and bless you in the name of the sun, brave warrior..."

At times like this, the boy would always return the gift naturally. Although he has a human body, the royal etiquette of the blood race has been integrated into his every move during the seven years of growth.

Humble and courteous, this is what his mother has always taught him, what he should consciously do as a royal family.

After passing a few patrolling soldiers, the boy stopped in an empty corridor, turned his head to look in a direction behind him, and suddenly shouted: "Come out!"

Following his voice, from behind the pillar in which direction, a small head poked out slightly.She was blinking her eyes, looking at him timidly.

The one hiding somewhere is naturally Asuo.

She had lost the prince before, and after searching for a long time without success, she could only cry and confess to the queen.

Unexpectedly, the queen not only didn't punish her when she found out, but gave her something back, which was a ring inlaid with red gemstones, which was worn by the queen before, and the queen took it from her finger so directly. handed over to her.

This gem is called 'Pursuing Gem'. As the name suggests, it can use the red light released from the top to track the target, as long as it is fused into the blood of the tracked person, but a gem can only be fused into the blood of one person, so it is considered a one-time use.And the blood of His Royal Highness is integrated into this gemstone, so the whereabouts of His Highness can be easily traced with this ring.

It was also because of this that Asuo was able to keep up with the boy's pace, but she was afraid of being driven away again so she didn't dare to show up, so she could only follow behind secretly.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow?"

The boy said coldly.

"But, but... I am His Highness's maid... I must... follow..."

Asuo hemmed and hawed, the more he talked, the less confident he became.

I thought I could get along well with His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big gap at the beginning, which made Asuo a little discouraged.I am even more confused about my future.

Seeing her looking down sadly, the young man swallowed back the words he was about to say, and sighed, "Anyway, don't follow me anymore!"

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and left on his own, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head angrily, and said angrily to the girl who was still following closely behind him, "So, don't follow me anymore! You Can’t you just do something you like to do?”

Asuo shrank back in fright from the boy's sudden loud voice, but after hearing his words clearly, Asuo still spoke intermittently in a low voice.

"But... this is the job of a maid..."

"Is that all you can say?"

The young man couldn't help but sighed.

"But... what else can I do?"

Asuo sighed, and replied with a rare serious sentence.

The boy froze for a moment.Maybe this is the other party's true words...

He suddenly realized that the other party had just come to the magnificent palace from a barren small town. Everything here was extremely strange to her, and the people here were all of a higher status than her.

Such a person suddenly came to the palace, does he really have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery here?I'm afraid it's more of fear.Be careful with your every move, because you are surrounded by things you don't understand, and any inappropriate behavior may lead to death.

Just like now, she can only speak cautiously in front of her, and if she emphasizes her tone a little bit, she will tremble with fright.

In her heart, she must be very afraid of herself...

The boy couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't have any ill feeling towards this girl, and he didn't intend to embarrass her. It's just that he was used to being alone and didn't want to be disturbed.

The young man stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment before replying: "There are many things you can do, and you don't have to stay by my side. If you don't want to stay by yourself, go find the girl in the palace. People here are not They are all bad people, go to Yin, Weiwei, they are good people, they will not bully you. But remember, boys want to play with boys, girls want to play with girls, so don't follow me. Got it? ?”

Asuo stared blankly at the young man, and after a while, suddenly asked: "Your Highness, Your Highness... I, if I follow you... will I cause you trouble?"

"what?"

The boy froze for a moment, and just when he was about to say something, there was a call from a distance.

"Hey, An Teng, I'm waiting for you, hurry up, or I'll leave you behind!"

In the distance, several teenagers were waving at him.

"immediately!"

The boy also yelled over there.Then he was ready to go where to run.Before leaving, he looked at the girl, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, you will cause me trouble if you follow me!"

Asuo watched the figure of the boy running away gradually, but this time he did not catch up.

"Is that so...is that so...what, shouldn't this kind of thing be known..."

Asuo murmured, repeating the words to comfort herself, but her body kept trembling.On the ground, crystal clear teardrops began to drip drop by drop.

"Ah, why... I would cry... I should have never expected such a thing... Why would I..."

Asuo wiped his tears anxiously, but the tears became more and more.

Asuo squatted on the ground, and she suddenly understood a little bit. It turned out that she also began to look forward to it unconsciously, looking forward to finally having someone who could understand her, and finally someone who would see her without colored glasses.

I am looking forward to being able to walk into his world, and at the same time looking forward to someone who can walk into my own world.
