The sky is still bright.
In the spacious and warm guest rooms of the mansion, the dark curtains made of high-quality fabrics effectively isolate the early morning light, keeping the room dim, which is conducive to sleep...sleeping in.
This design was widely praised among the nobility.
Generally speaking, nobles who have self-cultivation requirements usually get up at ninety o'clock. In fact, most nobles combine breakfast, lunch, and sometimes afternoon tea.
As for the remaining few nobles of Huodian City...
What? Isn’t it meant for sleeping during the day?
Anyone who can get up at six or seven in the morning is a monster, right?
Hello, no, there is also a hard-working little girl.
Although a lot of things happened yesterday, which can be said to be exhausting physically and mentally, but even so, the biological clock in Vivian's body still woke her up on time around six o'clock.
Carefully, he opened the satin quilt covering his body, which was as soft as water.
Likewise, this is the first time the little girl knows that the bed... can sink inwards a bit after the body lies down.
Is this the life of city dwellers?
So...so scary.
Because she only stayed for one night, Vivian found that she was a little addicted to it, and even involuntarily had the evil thought of "staying in bed" in her mind, which she had never had since she was a child. .
No, no!
The body cannot be controlled by evil.
I had to get up quickly, wash up, and prepare breakfast for Xin Yan and Xiao Hei.
Now that I thought of this.
Vivian quietly looked towards the position next to her on the bed.
The beds of nobles are generally very large, able to accommodate two or three people, or even more people may spend the night together. As for the reason, you can understand the reason.
At this moment, not far from the little girl, a little loli with cream-colored hair was lying down in a big posture without any sleeping posture.
Although she is just a small figure, she can occupy half of the bed. One of her two cute and arrogant little feet kicks the quilt on her body and sends it somewhere.
As for the other one, it's even more extreme.
Good guy, he directly put his feet on the face of a certain wolf cub who was also sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Ah this..."
Vivian quickly rescued her little wolf cub from Xin Yan's pink feet, and then gently smoothed the squashed hair with distress.
He covered the quilt again, and finally wiped the corners of the little Lolita's mouth with his hand, and the inflammation almost dripped onto the quilt.
After doing all this, Vivian took off her slightly loose nightgown, put on her original linen clothes, and tiptoed out of the room.
Count Thistle's mansion is huge, so big that it's really possible to get lost.
Vivian realized this after she came out, so she didn't dare to walk around. It wasn't until she waited in the corridor for a while that she finally saw a person breathing in. It looked like he had just gotten up. Soon maid.
The little girl quickly walked forward.
"Um...Hello, where can I get water?"
Vivian was still thinking in a rural village. When she got up in the morning, she had to go to the well to prepare water for washing and cooking.
She also considered that the people in the city might be different from them in fetching water.
For example, they use simple wooden barrels that can be found everywhere, but city people may use...silver or even gold utensils to scoop water from wells?
And the other side.
"Fetch water?" The maid, who was still sleepy, looked stunned after hearing Vivian's question.
Maybe it was because she was still confused after just waking up, or maybe because Vivian was reluctant to part with her old country clothes and kept wearing them. Coupled with such an obvious country bumpkin problem, the maid immediately sighed.
"Hey, are you new here?"
As soon as the words came out, before Vivian could answer, the maid waved her hand.
She felt like she had asked an idiot question.
Isn't this nonsense? She has other special purposes. Let's talk about it separately. Besides the new maid, who else would get up early in the morning as soon as the genius breaks?
"Come with me." The maid continued to cheer her, leading the way to the bathroom where she was going.
"Oh...Okay, okay, thank you!"
The little girl in the back quickly caught up with her after thanking her, and followed obediently behind the maid.
Seeing Vivian's appearance, perhaps it reminded her of her own youthful and clumsy appearance when she was first bought into the Earl's mansion from the countryside.
So as the maid walked away, she talked to the little girl in the tone of an elder who had come before.
"In a while, you can follow me and watch and learn well."
"Being able to come to our Earl's residence is many times better than going to other nobles!"
"Let me tell you, Lord Thistle treats us servants very well. He never beats or scolds us, and there is no bad scandal."
I don’t know if it’s Vivian’s illusion.
But the little girl always felt that there was a hint of disappointment on the maid's face after the last sentence.
"However, compared to Lord Count..." The maid paused after saying this.
She first looked around cautiously. After they were the only two people in the corridor early in the morning, the maid moved closer to Vivian, and then whispered:
"Compared to the Earl, our Miss Liz is not very good in character and has a very bad temper. She seems to often fire us directly for a small mistake. If you meet Miss Liz by chance in the mansion, , you have to try to go around as much as possible!"
"Eh? Is that so? But I think Liz is still very..."
Before Vivian finished speaking, the maid quickly interrupted.
"How are you talking! You dare to call the eldest lady by her name. If Sir Robert hears this, you will be finished!"
"Okay... okay, but I think Miss Liz must have her own reasons..." Vivian still wanted to defend Liz.
but...
"Don't interrupt me! What do you, a newcomer, know? Listen to me!" Although she may not be much older than Vivian in terms of age, the maid still pretended to be very old-fashioned and frowned.
"Oh...Okay, okay." The little girl shrank her neck.
"I just mentioned Sir Robert. Let me tell you, this big butler is what we really need to pay attention to. We must be careful! After all, he is the direct boss of all our maids. You should have been recruited by him, right?"
Recruiting...should count, right?
Vivian nodded.
"And I'm going to tell you a secret, but you must not spread it outside!"
Perhaps it was Vivian's approachability that made anyone feel friendly that made the maid talk more and more, and even just now, she even opened up some of her innermost thoughts.
I saw that the maid here lowered her voice even lower than before, stopped and leaned close to Vivian's ear.
"There is always a rumor among our maids. I also heard it passed down by the older maid, so I don't know whether it is true or not."
"But it is said that every once in a while, a maid will mysteriously disappear from the Earl's manor. Although Mr. Robert and us internally explained that there are legitimate reasons, in fact..."
"Some people say that those maids who disappeared were actually played by Lord Robert, then discarded or even resold to gangsters!"
"Ah!?" Vivian couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the last part.
This frightened the maid opposite and quickly covered the little girl's mouth.
"Shh! What are you doing!"
"Oh, it's true. Why am I talking to you, a newcomer? In short, you just need to remember who you offend here, even if it is the earl and the eldest lady, you must not offend Lord Robert. Do you understand? "
"Uh...uh uh..." Vivian nodded, her mouth still covered by the frightened maid.
"besides!"
"You must not spread what I just said to you, otherwise we will not only be fired, but the maid who disappears in the next rumor will be you and me! Do you understand? Newcomer!"
"Uh...uh..." Under the maid's serious gaze, Vivian, whose mouth was covered, nodded her head vigorously.
After seeing Weiwei's security department agree, the maid took her hands off her mouth with confidence.
"Okay, don't think so much. As a newcomer, the most important thing for you now is to quickly learn the skills of being a maid and get familiar with the castle as soon as possible."
"As for me, I feel that you are quite pleasing to the eye, and your attitude is also good. Otherwise... from now on, will you just follow me? What do you think? Sister, I will protect you!"
Patting the little girl's thin shoulder, the maid waited expectantly for a reply.
"Well..."
But Vivian hesitated.
For a moment, she really didn't know how to answer.
But in the eyes of the maid opposite, she thought it was Vivian who felt that she was not worthy enough, so she was hesitating.
then...
"Hmph! Even though you look at me, I seem to be very young, but let me tell you, I am... a woman who wants to become the head maid!"
"What? Don't believe it?"
Gritting her teeth, the maid seemed to really like Vivian, the well-behaved newcomer. She seemed to be willing to go all out and want to prove her ability in front of the little girl.
"You're lucky, I'll show you the world today!"
"See...see the world?"
"Yes, you must have heard about the major events that happened outside our Huodian City yesterday, right? Monsters besieged the city, the god of fire descended, and the divine phoenix appeared. Any one of these is a rare occurrence in a hundred years!"
The maid's tone was excited, as if she had really returned to that time.
But at this time, the weak interrupting voice from Vivian came out again.
"That...should be a divine phoenix, not a divine phoenix."
Phoenix Phoenix, the male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix. This is what Vivian specially did after contracting Xin Yan!
So when she heard that the maid had mistaken Xin Yan's gender, the little girl immediately pointed it out.
result.
"Oh! You don't care whether it's a phoenix or a phoenix. What's the difference to us? Also, you're not there, how do you know if it's a phoenix or not? I just think it's a phoenix! How handsome the phoenix is! "
Seeing that Vivian was still about to argue, the maid quickly reached out to stop her.
"Stop! That's not the point I want to say!"
"The real point is, a little further back, before Lord Vulcan came, you must also remember, that one man alone, fought against the monster tide, and even cooperated with his monsters, and worked together to kill the monster leader , the great hero who drove back the demonic tide!"
When the maid said this, her face was full of admiration, and even a little bit inexplicably blushing.
"Oh my God! Can you imagine that?"
"When everyone was in despair and fear, it was him! He stood up bravely alone! It was him who saved tens of thousands of refugees outside the city!"
"To be honest, I always thought that this kind of plot would only appear in movies, but I didn't expect that such a character could actually exist in reality..."
The maid became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, as if she couldn't help herself and couldn't control herself.
As she said herself, she was no different from the little girl after watching Knight.
But if it only goes here, it won't actually make the maid so excited.
The plot that really made her feel like a dream was...
"Do you know? Just last night, a distinguished guest quietly came to our Earl's mansion. Guess who it was?"
"..." Vivian was silent for a while.
The little girl had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Oh! Why are you so stupid! I have laid so much ground in front of you, but you are the only one with your brains and sister, so I am willing to help you!"
The maid shook her head at the speechless Vivian.
But soon, it was overshadowed by the excitement that followed.
"It's him! The mysterious hero of Quanhuodian City!"
"Can you believe it! That lord...he actually lives in the same castle as us!"
"Oh, God of Fire, my God! I find it unbelievable when I think about it now. Our Lord Earl is so powerful that he can invite such powerful guests."
Vivian felt that she could see little stars in the eyes of the maid opposite.
Wait...wait a minute, it seems that there are more than just small stars, but deeper, there are also some strange heart-shaped patterns...
"So...so, when you say seeing the world, you mean..." Vivian finally understood the bad feeling that had been rising in her heart since just now.
"You! Can you be smarter! People like us who come from the countryside, have no background and no money, if we can't take advantage of our good-looking faces and figures..."
When talking about "face and body", the maid glanced at Vivian and silently changed her words.
"If you don't know how to take advantage of your pretty face, then when will you be able to get over it! Do you really want to be an unknown maid your whole life!?"
No, I'm not, I didn't, you, don't talk nonsense!
But it's like once some switch is flipped, there's no going back.
Even if Vivian regretted it and didn't want the maid opposite to continue talking, it was already too late now.
"Do you know why I woke up so early today? Earlier than other maids, it's because I passed the oracle's message...cough...cough!"
As if she almost blurted out something she shouldn't have said, the maid quickly coughed to cover it up.
This secret in her must not be exposed.
"In short, through some channels, I got hold of this big news one step ahead. You are lucky to have woken up so early and met me. Otherwise, you would be like those people who still don't know anything and are still lying in bed. Like the other maids sleeping on the bed, they missed what may be the biggest opportunity in their lives to make a comeback!!"
While talking, the two finally arrived at the bathroom door.
"The early bird catches the worm. This saying is true. Okay, we're here! This is it. Let's hurry up. We'll help each other wash up and tidy up later. I'll try to make you look better as well."
"Then, we will squat in the mansion in advance, waiting for that adult... to approach us!"
As if impatient.
Grabbing Vivian, who was about to speak but was still a little confused by the logic of what she just said, the maid took the little girl and disappeared into the bathroom.
