  Chapter 155 Request (I want to enjoy the ancient OL from today)

Earl Harsha 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 melancholy face, Duanmuhuai would even doubt him if it wasn't for An's introduction in advance. People in their fifties and sixties...

  Hmm, people who work with numbers seem old? At least judging by his appearance, he looks like the kind who worked hard and dedicated himself to death. Maybe the suicide note at home has been written, and he is waiting to die from overwork all the time... It is not impossible.

  After all, I heard that he is the Minister of Finance or Minister? Forget it, it doesn't matter.

   "The previous matter, I really appreciate everyone's help, especially Her Royal Highness and Your Excellency the Knight... If it weren't for the sharp eyesight of the adults, I am afraid that the little girl would have already..."

   Speaking of this, Earl Harsha also burst into tears, um... how to put it, it is understandable. After all, there are many urban emotional dramas where the heroine is looked down upon or bullied after being divorced. Although Duanmuhuai is not in the aristocratic circle, it can be imagined.

   "Please don't do this, Ha Xiaqing, we just did what we should do."

  An also hurriedly answered, signaling the earl not to care so much. After getting permission from the princess, Earl Harsha stood up, but he still lowered his head, looking ashamed. Then he expressed his thanks to everyone again, and after rambling for a while, Earl Harsha mustered up his courage and made his request.

   "That... Actually, the old minister has an unfeeling request."

   "Huh? What's up?"

   "Actually... it's about the little girl Audrey."

   As he spoke, Earl Harsha looked at his daughter.

   "I think all adults already know that no matter what, the little girl has no way to remarry at present..."

   "I don't need to be so sure."

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "Even if she didn't have it before, maybe she will in the future. Maybe she will find a good husband?"

   "Actually, after this incident, the little girl has given up on marriage, so...the old minister dares to ask..."

   Having said this, Earl Harsha looked at Duanmuhuai and hesitated for a moment.

   "Please let the little girl be your exclusive maid for Your Majesty the Knight!"

"………Aha?"

  Hearing this unexpected request, Duanmuhuai froze for a moment, but An jumped up excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously.

   "Yes, there is another trick, why didn't I think of it?"

  “……”

  Which side are you on? !

  Because of An's sudden rebellion, Duanmuhuai finally said that he had to think about it, and then sent the father and daughter away. It wasn't until the other party left that he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ann's cheek.

   "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah Hm oh, oh oh! Rinse first!"

   "It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory. Which side are you from?"

  Rubbing An's face again, Duanmuhuai let go of An, and stared at her unhappily. The latter pouted while rubbing his flushed face.

   "What's the matter? It's nice to have a dedicated maid. In fact, if Earl Harsha hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. Mr. Knight, you are a nobleman now, and you also need a dedicated maid."

   "What kind of maid do I want, besides, don't you two have a maid?"

   "Who said there is no? I have it at home! The same goes for Guleya, right?"

"ah………"

  Hearing that An suddenly pulled herself into the battlefield, Guleya froze 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 are wrong, Mr. Knight."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, An proudly puffed out her chest.

   "Perhaps you don't know, in fact, almost all the maids in the palace are noble ladies?"

"……is that so?"

"Of course! After all, you have to work in the palace. How can you hire people who don't know the details? And it's too time-consuming to recruit people to investigate one by one, so I choose people from trusted nobles to enter the palace as maids. So don't look like a young lady, but in terms of daily life, she is not bad at all!"

"Oh, that's how it is………"

  When he heard what An said, Duanmuhuai was a little surprised at first, but it was right to think about it carefully. After all, the royal palace is an important place, so there is no possibility for people of unknown origin to work in the palace. Especially the job of a maid, although it is not too important, is to take care of the daily life of the royal family. If people with malicious intentions are allowed in, it will only bring danger to the royal family.

   Conversely, if it is a child of a nobleman, then it is equivalent to having a family endorsement. Once something goes wrong, it is likely to affect the entire family, so it will not mess around in the palace.

   "Since that's the case, why not send her to be a maid in the palace."

  Duanmuhuai is really one hundred and eighty people who don't want to put people around him.

"That's not okay. After all, things have spread out now. If Audrey goes to the palace to be a maid, she will be bullied by others. Otherwise, Earl Harsha would not come to Mr. Knight on purpose. Because the knight Sir, you not only have a high status, but you are also very strong, and you don’t have a dedicated maid by your side, isn’t that just right? Or…”

   While speaking, Ann looked at Augustus curiously.

   "Miss Augis is your exclusive maid?"

   "Well... it's not..."

   If you want to say whether Augis is Duanmuhuai's maid, she is definitely not. After all, Augis will not cook for Duanmuhuai, let alone wait for him to change clothes, nor give him a bath. Strictly speaking, to Duanmu Huai, Augis is more like her subordinate and comrade in arms.

   Not a maid anyway.

  In fact, strictly speaking, Duanmuhuai has a maid, but...the other party's spirit is so abnormal that after Duanmuhuai took her back into his hand, he has 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 for the rest of his life...

   "So, I think it is very convenient to have a dedicated maid. Many things can be entrusted to her."

   "Like?"

   "For example, 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 used for washing, cooking and cleaning?"

Is not it?

  Looking at An, Duanmu Huai really wanted to say that... After all, in his impression, there is no difference between a maid and a maid.

  But to be honest, Duanmuhuai doesn't know exactly what the maids in the palace do. Just like when he watched Qing dynasty dramas, he couldn't figure out what was the use of so many court ladies and nobles in the palace. Is it laundry and cooking? Or kill chickens and pigs? Or just like a waitress in a hotel, just responsible for cleaning and serving food and water?

   I have to say, for Duanmuhuai, this is really a mystery.

"Just like before, Mr. Knight, if you wanted to find Miss Lorena, didn't you send Miss Augis to pass the message? If you have a personal maid, then you don't need to send someone around you for this kind of thing Bar."

   "Woo...it seems to make sense..."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai was somewhat helpless, as An said, it would not be difficult for him to summon Lorena directly, but if he wanted the Holy Church to help, he had to go over there and settle the matter. Just make it clear. Hmm...Actually, Augis didn't speak clearly. According to Lorena, when Augis found her, she just said "there is a demon, the master wants your help"...

   I have to say that in terms of conveying information, Augis is really not a good candidate.

   "It's better than this!"

   At this moment, An seemed to have thought of a good idea and clapped her hands vigorously.

"Aren't we going to the west? Let's take Audrey with us. It just so happens that Mr. Knight can experience the strength of the exclusive maid! How about taking it as an assessment? If Mr. Knight is satisfied, then let her do it." Your exclusive maid, if you are not satisfied, Mr. Knight, it is not too late to let her go?"

   "We're not here to play."

   "Don't worry, I am very aware of Audrey's strength. 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. Obviously, seeing An's appearance, she wished to treat Audrey as her exclusive maid. It's just... that young lady's strength is really that strong?

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and slid across 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, deal 2 points of damage to all enemy units】

  “………”

  So awesome? !

  Seeing the card introduction in front of him, Duanmu Huai was shocked. Although 2 points of damage is not high, the problem is that it is all damage!

Although An and Guleya's attack power exceeds Audrey's, they are basically single-target or range attacks. If they attack all, Duanmu Huai currently only has the [Shenwei's Relic] that is used with [Sky City] to attack. It's okay to have that 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.

"All right."

  While talking, Duanmu Huai looked at An.

   "Just follow what you said, let me see what she is capable of."
