I have a Synthesizer
#194 - I am an honest person
After the three gathered, they quickly arrived at a manor near the center of the imperial capital.
"Are you sure this is the place?"
Looking at the house inside the manor, which was practically a castle, Eric felt a pang of resentment. These officials were all richer than each other. Compared to them, Jessup was really too poor!
Not only Eric, but Becky and Klein were also somewhat moved.
Although Jessup had many advanced equipment, machinery, and technology, when it came to money, they were really not as good as these officials and businessmen.
Others looked like bosses no matter how you looked at them, but they looked like a bunch of wage earners.
"Such a big house, and only the three of us as guards?"
"Of course not. The main security work is done by people from the Security Department. After all, it's the family of a military inquisitor. The Security Department is short-handed, so they have to come over and take a look. Otherwise, the military would lose face.
We were invited mainly to protect the three children of the Proteni family head. They are the eldest son Donald, the second daughter Gaye, and the youngest daughter Agatha."
Klein was puzzled and felt a little strange.
"The Proteni family should have their own trained or bought-off experts, right? And even if they don't, why don't they spend money to hire more powerful experts?"
Eric gave an explanation regarding Klein's question.
"Do you think it's so easy to hire more powerful experts? Almost all the top experts are being conscripted to the front lines.
The head of Proteni, Quentin, is a military inquisitor. When something happens in Skyrim Province, he will definitely take a large number of family experts with him. It's impossible to leave too many people behind, because compared to the border, the imperial capital is already relatively safe.
According to Her Majesty the Empress, if you're at Tier 3, 4, or 5, and you're not rolling to the front lines, but just loafing around in the empire, then you're just eating idle rice. Anyone above Tier 3 who is loafing around in the country for no reason should die.
So, unless there is a really important position, most of the experts will be conscripted by the empire, even the dean of the Royal Academy is no exception."
Tier 3 and above loafing around deserve to die? Klein patted his chest, glad he hadn't exposed himself.
Klein was slightly surprised by this approach and roughly understood why there were so few experts in the imperial capital.
The three walked to the door and were stopped by the guards of the house. After Becky showed the documents and all three displayed their Executor marks, they were allowed to pass.
There were many members of the Security Guard around the manor. It seemed that this Proteni family really had a big background.
"The defense is very tight. It feels like there shouldn't be any problems. Their enemies wouldn't just barge in, would they?" Eric muttered.
"Who knows? Maybe their enemies will break in tonight, bring dozens of experts and destroy the Proteni family, and we'll die miserably in the house, and this book will be over."
"That's so ruthless?"
"You just realized that?"
The two chatted nonsense while following Becky to the main hall of the Proteni family.
An elderly man came over to greet them and bowed slightly to the three.
"I am Seth, the Proteni's butler. Are you three from Jessup?"
Becky nodded. "Hello, Butler Seth. We are Jessup members who received your commission. I am the captain, Becky. This is Klein, and this is Eric."
The old butler Seth glanced at the three, his eyes lingered on Klein for a moment, and then he nodded.
Klein also noticed the other party's gaze, but he pretended not to see it.
"Then I will trouble the three of you. As you can see, we have carried out strict defenses throughout the manor, but the young master and the two young ladies still need special protection.
Currently, the family head has taken most of the experts in the family away, and they will not be back for another week. For safety reasons, we decided to hire some security personnel.
I heard from the people in the Security Department that your company is very capable, so we entrusted you with it. This time, please be sure to protect them well."
"Butler Seth, don't worry. Jessup has always been dutiful and responsible in handling affairs."
At the head was a woman in a wheelchair, dressed very luxuriously, but she was listless and sickly.
The person pushing the wheelchair was Klein knew, it was Agatha Proteni who had approached him in the academy cafeteria before. At this time, she had golden hair and was still sweet and moving.
Standing next to Agatha was an older woman who looked somewhat similar to Agatha.
The old butler Seth began to introduce them to the noblewoman and others. "This is Captain Becky, this is Mr. Eric, and this is Mr. Klein."
When Klein was mentioned, Agatha's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Klein without reservation. Her smile was still as gentle and warm as last year.
Klein didn't respond too much, just nodded slightly. It wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof, but that he really wasn't that familiar with her.
After Butler Seth introduced the three of Klein, he introduced the members of the Proteni family.
"Captain Becky, this is the Proteni family's mistress, Madam Celia, this is the second young lady, Gaye, and this is the third young lady, Agatha."
Becky nodded and bowed slightly, politely greeting them.
"Hello, Madam Celia."
But Celia didn't seem to pay much attention to Becky. She waved her hand, left Becky aside, and said to Seth.
"Where's Donald? Tell him to come down."
"I have already notified the young master, he will be down soon."
Celia nodded and then said to Becky.
"Whether I live or die in this state doesn't matter, so your task is to protect the three of them. I spent a lot of money to hire you, I hope you are not a bunch of trash, understand?"
The tone and attitude were very bad, just like the two people Klein remembered. It was really a terrible family. There was a reason why such a family had enemies. Maybe it was because they offended people with their harsh words that they were murdered.
While Klein was muttering to himself, Becky had already nodded in agreement. After all, they were paid, and they were paid a lot. They didn't need to argue about such things.
"Please rest assured, we will protect the three of them well."
At this time, a man who was a little short but had his hair combed very high came down from upstairs.
"These are the people from Jessup? So young, will they be okay? Someone is targeting our family, this is a very dangerous thing."
"Young Master Donald, the people from Jessup are always very capable," Butler Seth defended Becky and the others.
"You say they are capable, so they are capable? Have you worked with them? Isn't it all hearsay? I'm still bragging that I've slain a dragon! Do you believe it?"
Donald curled his lips in disdain. His appearance was the image of a playboy in Klein's mind.
The few second-generation people Klein had come into contact with before, whether they were rich second-generation, strong second-generation, or official second-generation, were basically very polite and had extraordinary manners and conversations.
Even Mira's boyfriend who was killed by Lance had a very good personality, which almost made Klein think that there were no playboys in this world, and all kinds of second-generation people were excellent people.
However, Donald's appearance obviously broke Klein's concept. Sure enough, garbage second-generation people and playboys exist in every world.
Becky glanced at Donald. She knew that Klein would definitely not be able to stand his temper, so she said:
"In the next week, Eric will protect Mr. Donald, Klein will protect Miss Gaye, and I will protect Miss Agatha.
During the mission, please be sure to trust us. If there is not enough trust between us, there is no point in talking about protection. Everyone, is there any problem?"
"I have a problem, Miss Becky. I know classmate Klein, can we switch?"
The third young lady Agatha spoke directly, appearing generous.
Becky looked at Klein, showing an inquiring look, and Klein nodded.
"I have no problem."
"Okay, I will protect Miss Gaye, and Miss Agatha will be protected by Klein."
Eric on the side looked at Klein with resentful eyes again. "Why do you always get the girls, it's not fair."
Klein also lowered his voice. "Because you look too lewd."
"Klein, every time at this time, I feel like you are especially annoying."
"Why do you think I'm annoying? Just because I'm telling the truth? I'm an honest person, shouldn't an honest person tell the truth?"
