"Tini, I need you to become stronger more than staying by my side."
Sistini's heart seemed to be hollowed out in an instant. She stared blankly at Matthew's calm expression, her lips slightly parted but unable to say anything.
After a long time, she asked quietly: "Then who do you plan to ask to be the secretary-general? Is it Miss Shirley?"
"Of course not. She is not familiar with the situation in the territory, and her main task is to improve her personal strength. I plan to let several girls in the maid group take turns, starting with Surante."
Hearing that it was not Shirley who took over, Sistini felt inexplicably relieved.
Her tone also softened a lot, "Master is really thoughtful."
"It's not that I've given it much thought, I still want you to be the secretary-general. It's just that I've troubled you with everything big and small these past years, which has taken up a lot of your time for practice and meditation. This is also the reason why you haven't been able to improve your realm."
"I hope you will also enter the advanced level as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"As ordered!"
Although she didn't quite understand Matthew's desire for power, Sistine still resolutely obeyed the arrangement.
Seeing her being so solemn, Matthew felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties in cultivation, just tell me."
Sistine thought about the doubts about Shirley and wanted to mention it, but she had no choice but to hold it back because there was no evidence.
She thought for a while and insisted: "Even if I don't become the secretary-general, I can't do nothing. I can't be idle."
Matthew thought about it and felt that practicing all the time would be boring, so he simply agreed.
"What do you want to be responsible for?"
"Leave the kitchen to me."
Histini's cooking skills are terrible, and she didn't like to hang out in the kitchen before. Why should she be in charge of the kitchen now?
Matthew smiled and asked: "Why do you want to be in charge of the kitchen? Is it convenient to sneak food?"
"Yes, just to eat in secret. Anyway, I will never get the chance to eat chicken drumsticks again, so I can just hide in the kitchen and eat a few bites secretly."
She originally just said a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but the moment she said this, a scene from the lunch meeting appeared in front of her, and her smile froze.
Of course Matthew knew how she was feeling, and he comforted her gently: "I can ask the kitchen to prepare more portions of roast chicken, so that everyone can have a share."
Sistine said nothing.
Can this be the same?
The chicken drumsticks cut by Matthew himself are an invisible honor and approval, and ordinary chicken drumsticks are just drumsticks.
But she couldn't say the words, and speaking out made her look petty.
She can only insist that she is responsible for the kitchen. This is her bottom line and she will not give up no matter what.
Seeing Sistini's troubled expression, Matthew thought she was worried about a breakthrough, and said with a smile:
"I'm a magician, so I can't give you too precise guidance. Your profession is the Almighty Warrior, and Diana is the Almighty Knight. Maybe you can ask Diana for advice."
Not to mention that Diana was fine, Sistini had a headache when Diana was mentioned.
She whispered: "Aren't you worried about her running around?"
"Why should you worry? Is there any territory in the entire empire that is better managed than Lundbel's?"
Matthew thought to himself, he was not afraid of Deanna wandering around, but he was afraid that she would stick to her own ideas.Sistini didn't expect Matthew to be so confident, but thinking about it, it seemed to be the same.
Since there is no problem, why worry about Diana going to the countryside?
Just when Matthew was full of confidence, Sistini remembered another thing and said softly: "Master, there is a little thing I forgot to tell you."
"Say." Matthew lay on the cushion, closed his eyes and let the breeze blow by, enjoying a moment of silence.
"Miss Deanna went to the archives yesterday to check the minutes."
"These are all trivial matters, let her see! Did she say anything?" Matthew was very generous.
"No, I was just silent for a long time after seeing the service list."
When Matthew heard the service schedule, he was stunned for a few seconds, then sat up suddenly and looked at Sistine in astonishment.
"How can she let her see this!"
"As you said, she can do anything, and we must cooperate." Sistini looked innocent.
Matthew's face changed from confused to shy to speechless, like a Sichuan Opera face changing.
After knowing that things were irreversible, he had nothing to say.
Forget it, just know it if you know it. Who among the nobles these days doesn’t have a few maids in their home?
Why can't he do it?
If Diana refused to conclude the contract, it would never be because of this trivial matter.
Small things, are small things.
Matthew looked up to the sky and sighed.
My glorious image is over!
Chapter 013 Diana goes to the countryside
Diana's style of doing things has always been vigorous and resolute.Since I decided to fully understand Matthew, I naturally had to go deep into the field to understand the most real situation.
Sitting in the office and writing random information to deceive people is not Diana's style.
She wants to go to the grassroots level, to contact ordinary people in the streets and villages, and to listen to their real voices.
To ensure the accuracy of her work, she dressed up carefully before leaving the castle.
Of course, she doesn't want to show off her beauty. If it's just for beauty, she doesn't need to put on makeup at all.
Her dress made her skin look a little rough and her facial features less refined.
A perfect figure is really hard to change, so she put some effort into the details. She tied some belts around her waist to make her originally slender waist a bit thicker.
When she went out, she didn't notice several maids snickering.
In their opinion, despite Miss Diana's hard work, she is still very good-looking.
She wanted to keep a low profile, but her strength didn't allow it.
Riding on a red horse, Diana turned into a red stream of light and left the castle. She did not go to Lundebel City, but chose the countryside more than ten miles away.
Mazha Village, the village where she saved people.
Starting from here, it is easier to get closer to the villagers and obtain more realistic information.
Holding the reins in hand, she galloped on the road between the fields, letting her golden hair flutter in the wind, and Diana enjoyed the joy of flying in the wind.
Although my physical strength is a little weak due to the unhealed poison injury, the feeling of freedom is great.
Although Matthew did not restrict her freedom, she was still uncomfortable in the castle.
Breathing the free air and humming a pleasant tune, Diana came to Maza Village.
The villagers quickly recognized the female knight.
Although she was wearing a visor that day, the villagers recognized her armor and weapons.Although she hung her helmet next to the saddle today, the villagers' eyes were sharp.
Seeing Diana appear, the villagers gathered around enthusiastically to express their gratitude to her.
Diana dismounted and approached the crowd.After exchanging pleasantries, she planned to go to John's house to visit the unfortunate villager.
In the monster attack that day, he lost his legs and the ability to work.
But with Matthew's treatment, he at least saved his life.
Although Matthew said that John could work in the alchemy workshop, Diana was still skeptical.
If Matthew had just said it casually, John would have been quickly forgotten.
If Matthew was a show, Mr. John might get a job, but sooner or later he would be fired.Diana had seen this kind of thing a lot.
In the eyes of politicians who like to show off, these people at the bottom are just tools they use for show.
If Matthew really fulfilled his promise, she would naturally find the traces.
Under her fiery eyes, there is no place for any lies.
As long as Matthew's hypocrisy can be exposed, there is sufficient reason to kill him.
Matthew saved her, but there are limitations to returning favors, that is, Matthew cannot blatantly trample on the law and the bottom line of being a human being.
Diana is the guardian of order and takes the law very seriously.
Guided by the villagers, Diana came to John's home with condolences.
The condolences she brought included a large bag full of grain, cooking oil, meat and vegetables.
This is enough food to live on for a family of five for a month.
If John can still work, these things are just the icing on the cake; if John loses his source of income, these supplies will be a timely help for him.
Diana couldn't tell which one she expected to happen.
John's home is located on the west side of the small village, and the closest distance to other people is more than 20 meters.
It seems that Farmer John is not very popular.
At John's house, the honest farmer and his wife are not at home. Only his two children are at home waiting for their parents to come back.
Since no one was here, Diana didn't want to be too disturbed. She handed over the condolences to the two children. Under the warm invitation of the village chief Paul, she was invited to the village chief's house.
The village chief is the lowest-level manager, and the management of a territory can also be seen from the village chief.
Diana was also somewhat curious about the young village chief.
In her inherent impression, the village chief is often not the most capable person in a village, but the most submissive person.The village chiefs in most of the empire's territories are respected old gentlemen who have a high say in their villages.
Without the cooperation of the village chief, it would be difficult for the lords and officials to implement the instructions at the grassroots level.
Paul, the head of Maza Village, is very young. He is about 20 years old and looks very capable and speaks well.
He doesn't speak or act like a village chief at all, but rather like a down-to-earth and capable town official.
Is he really the village chief?
Diana was a little unsure.
Could it be that in order to deceive her, Matthew had predicted her movement in advance and arranged for capable young officials to wait here.
She chatted casually with Village Chief Paul, and mentioned a wide range of issues, from the village's conditions and people's customs to the surrounding customs and customs.
The more questions she asked, the more puzzled Diana became.
If Mayor Paul is a temporary appointee, he will definitely not be able to answer questions fluently; if he is really the village chief here, this would be too humiliating.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask: "Paul, how long have you been the village chief?"
"Miss Diana, I have grown up here since I was a child, but becoming the village chief was only the year before last."
As if seeing the doubt in Diana's eyes, Paul simply opened the safe, took out a letter of appointment and handed it to her.
This letter of appointment is very detailed. It not only states the appointer and issuer, but also details Paul's specific responsibilities and salary.
The issuer of this commission was Histini.
Diana recognized Sistine's handwriting and could confirm that it was authentic.
After carefully observing the paper and ink marks, I found that this letter of appointment was indeed a bit old.From this point of view, Paul has indeed served as the mayor of Maza Village since the year before last, and there is no forgery.
Although the facts were confirmed, Diana was even more confused. She asked with some confusion: "Village Chief Paul, you have never seen me, why do you know me?"
Paul took out another document from the safe, with a red header at the top and a printed official document at the bottom.
This document was sent to all departments and villages and towns. The content was very simple and required all officials to obey Diana's orders completely.
Diana's mood was even more complicated because Matthew's words were actually executed so effectively.
This kind of administrative efficiency has never been seen in the imperial capital, let alone in a mere county.
She smiled and said: "I would like to review recent documents and accounts, is that okay?"
"As ordered!"
Paul immediately handed the safe key to Diana and stood aside to wait.
Diana smiled and said, "I may have to watch it for a long time, so you go ahead and get busy."
