The sound of trickling water and... the whispers of two young girls constantly sounded from an empty bathroom in the manor house in the early morning.
At first, the maid showed Vivian the city people's way of "fetching water" in a normal manner, which surprised the little girl for a while.
But after that, the style of painting began to deviate in strange places.
"Wow! Newcomer, I didn't pay much attention before, you...how can your skin be so good?" the maid's voice sounded in great surprise.
"That, I don't know too well..."
"Really! Hmm... This feels too elastic to the touch, as if water can be squeezed out. Please teach me, how did you do it?"
【How did you do it...】
[If you can and have level three strength, the powerful magic power in your body will naturally moisturize your skin, idiot! 】
[So, can you please take your dirty hands away from Vivian’s body quickly! 】
【Can you, a maid, touch that? ! 】
In order to avoid being in the mental space, the furious other she wants to come out and beat people.
Vivian quickly ran away. The maid across from her said she was going to help her take care of her appearance, but as soon as she touched her, she became more and more addicted to touching her.
"Hey, I'm so envious..."
The maid's face looked unfinished.
She returned to the bathroom mirror and took out a small collection box from her arms.
"Originally, I said I would give you some, but now it seems that you don't need these things at all."
The maid was saying with emotion, and then she began to feel pain in her body, taking a little bit of it out of the small box with her fingers, and gently applying it to her neck and wrists.
"What is this?" Vivian couldn't help but asked curiously when she saw this.
"The balm is said to have been passed down from Iwakuni. It is very powerful. Just apply it to the skin a few times and it will make the whole person smell very fragrant. It is like carrying a sachet with you."
"This is an expensive thing that I have saved up for a long time to buy. If I hadn't met that adult today, I wouldn't be willing to use it!"
As soon as the maid mentioned the words "that lord", it seemed to immediately remind Vivian.
Because if nothing else happens...
According to the maid, the big shot who turned the tide, saved Huodian City from the fire, and then moved into the Earl's mansion last night...
It should be referring to...
she!
What's even worse is that the maid seems to have reversed her gender just like Xinyan.
Originally, listening to others praising herself and praising her heroic deeds in front of her was enough to make the little girl feel ashamed, but who would have thought that in addition to admiration, this maid also looked...
It seems that she still has some special thoughts about her "big shot"! I want to take the opportunity to hook up! Something indescribable happened! Just like in the movie, Cinderella and the Prince.
Vivian really couldn't stand it now.
She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if the maid learned the truth. She died, Taishe died, not only the maid, but also her!
Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment later, the little girl decided to run away quickly.
"Well...well, thank you very much for today. I've already washed up, so I'll go back first."
As a result, Vivian had just taken a step out when she remembered the scolding from behind.
"stop!"
The maid hurried to the door of the bathroom, put her hands on her hips, and blocked the little girl.
"What are you doing? Are you scared? Hey, I'm talking about you! Although we are indeed from bad backgrounds, you have to be more confident!"
"Just look at your pretty face, which is as beautiful as mine. What's more, you can't even catch up with me. You're almost as good as those noble ladies."
"Although your figure... your figure is a bit off, you are still growing after all. Maybe you will grow up later?"
"Besides, as far as I know, there are indeed a small number of people who prefer tablets like yours! What if that adult is also this kind of person? Do you think so!"
The maid spoke eloquently and seemed to be very experienced, like someone who had been there.
And the other side.
Flat...slab.
The corners of Vivian's mouth twitched without leaving any trace.
Although the other person's original intention was to encourage her, she always felt that she was still offended.
He sighed inwardly.
It seems that if she doesn't expose the other party's dream, this maid seems to be determined and wants to take her to see the world and find the "big man".
"Well, I have a question."
"What's the problem? Tell me."
"How can you be sure that the big shot you are talking about is...a male?" Vivian was really embarrassed to say it, but she had no choice but to do so.
And on the opposite side.
"Huh!?" The maid frowned suddenly, and her tone suddenly became exaggerated.
"Are you kidding? You can suppress the monster wave by yourself, fight and kill the leader alone. And I heard from others that that gentleman is not a mage at all. He is so strong that he can crush the city wall with one kick. , the weapon in his hand is a very, very huge scythe, and with just a wave of his hand, he can cut a crack in the sky!"
"Let me ask you, can such a powerful person still be a weak and weak woman like you and me? You can think about it with your toes, right? How can a woman have such great strength and be able to swing like that? A big scythe? Then what does she look like? Her whole body is full of muscles? Are her arms thicker than her thighs? Hiss... she's so ugly!"
As if she really thought about the scene she described, the maid immediately felt excited, holding her slender arms, as if she had goosebumps all over her body.
Vivian: "..."
Well, the other me, put down the sickle first, we can't use violence...
Ahem...
Quickly coughing to bring up the topic, the little girl still said seriously:
"But when I saw the magic projection, the big... the person you mentioned seemed to be a woman, and her figure was not as exaggerated as you said. I felt that she might not be relying on muscle strength. But is it driven by magic?"
Vivian clarified herself in a very tactful tone.
the other side.
"Ah? Is it true? Were you actually watching the magic projection at that time?" The maid looked suspicious, with a bit of disbelief.
"Yeah...eh? Wait a minute, haven't you seen the magic projection?"
Vivian immediately grasped the end point and the sense of dissonance that had always been there.
"me..."
The maid hesitated for a long time, but was finally defeated when Vivian's clear but scrutinizing eyes dropped.
"Okay! Okay! I admit, I didn't watch it. After all, it was really scary at the time. After those monsters came out, I...I was so scared that I hid under the bed..."
The maid's voice became quieter and quieter, and finally it turned into the sound of mosquitoes that only she could hear.
opposite.
Vivian was speechless and held her forehead.
OK! It turns out that all the nonsense you said was overheard from others after the fact. No wonder your misunderstanding is so serious!
But that’s fine too.
I have told the truth, so the other party should give up, right?
"So, believe me, she is really... a rather slender woman. Your previous plan, uh, how should I put it, will definitely not work, right? So we should go back quickly and go do other things. Let’s do it!”
Vivian thought this would be the end.
But who would have thought...
"I don't!"
"?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! You must have seen it wrong! Besides... even if the other party is a woman, what's the matter? Who says that women and women can't, they can't... I have also heard of such a situation example!"
"???"
The alarm bells went off in my heart instantly!
The little girl looked warily at the maid in front of her, whose cheeks were flushed and coquettish because she had mentioned a taboo topic.
Vivian immediately felt dangerous and took a few steps back to distance herself from the other party.
"Oh, okay! I don't care if that adult is a man, a woman, or something else, I recognize him, because I will definitely meet that adult."
"So, um... please, just think of it as helping me, you, my best friend, come with me to meet that adult! In fact, I am actually very nervous and scared myself! Is it good~"
Family members, the picture is so clear that the true colors are revealed!
It's reversed, she wants to recognize Vivian as her eldest sister!
Looking at the maid who looked pitiful and old-fashioned, the elder looked like she was pleading with tears in her eyes, holding her hands tightly, Vivian was speechless again.
"my best friend?"
"Yes! Am I not the first friend you have met in our Earl's mansion? Isn't that the best!"
The maid blinked at the little girl.
Vivian: "..."
It seemed that for a while there was really no rebuttal to be found.
"Okay, let's not talk about gender for now. In fact, from the very beginning, I had a very strange question I wanted to ask you." The little girl sighed.
"Yeah, you say it, you say it!"
The maid nodded quickly, like a tamed little pet, her personality changed so quickly that it was truly embarrassing.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
Firstly, she really wanted something from Vivian, and secondly, ever since Vivian said that she was actually watching the magic projection the whole time, the maid had already been in awe of the little girl, and her impression changed drastically. She was so bloody and violent. Anyway, she didn't dare to watch the scene.
"You seem to have been sure from the very beginning that you would be able to meet that... big shot today?"
Vivian asked very puzzled.
Although judging from the facts, the maid did meet herself. No, it cannot be said that she met herself. She should have left the room at that time and was completely lost, so she took the initiative to run over and find the maid.
Huh?
Wait a moment.
Have you heard this sentence somewhere?
Vivian clearly remembered that the plan the maid told her before was for the two of them to squat in the castle and wait for the adult to approach them.
At that time, Vivian was just wondering about the maid's logic.
Because normally, shouldn't it be a maid with a lower status who takes the initiative to find opportunities to get close to others? Why is it the other way around?
But now after sorting it out, Vivian suddenly realized that it seemed...
The maid really got it all right!
"It's a prophecy! A prophecy! I once had a fortune-teller told by a very divine goddess. Oh, yes! She, she said that I would meet a noble person today! That's why I believed it! "
The maid stumbled, her eyes wandering.
Then, it seemed that it was just to prevent Vivian from asking further questions.
"I...I suddenly want to go for a convenience again. Please wait for me. Also! Don't leave secretly! Otherwise I will be angry! Very, very angry! I will never be friends with you again. kind!"
The maid said, and then without giving Vivian a chance to refuse, she quickly ran to a private room in the bathroom.
Close the door.
After making sure it is your own independent space.
The maid took a deep breath.
I saw her hands crossed, fingers clasped together, as if praying.
Immediately afterwards...
Buzz!
A magical scene appeared.
The water in the wooden barrel in the private room began to ripple, and then, as if pulled by a mysterious force, began to arrange and combine, forming three lines of text with decreasing clarity.
The first line: [The shining star has risen, and the famous hero was in the same castle with you last night]
The second line: [Wake up... on the second... morning... and take a stroll... within... you will... meet...]
The third line: [...engrave...give...order]
This is the secret of the maid.
Secrets that must never be told to outsiders.
It's a coincidence that this is the magical ability she awakened shortly after entering the Earl's mansion. It is unique to her and can predict the future and give her guidance!
It's a pity that only the first line can be fully seen every time. The remaining two lines and the second line can be barely guessed, but the third line is completely unknown.
But it doesn't matter, that's enough.
The oracle is infallible!
Encounter refers to encounter, and combined with the first line, when you get up early in the morning, you will definitely have an encounter with that adult!
The maid, who was initially shaken by Vivian's words, regained her confidence after reading and confirming the oracle again.
After dispelling her power, she pushed open the door of the private room.
Then...
Looking at the empty bathroom door, there was no trace of the newcomer anywhere.
"you..."
"How could you do this!" The maid clenched her fists and stomped her feet in anger!
hateful!
Doesn't she care so much about losing her only friend?
No.
Because Vivian knew that if she didn't take the opportunity to run away, not only would they not be friends anymore, they would simply die in the open.
It's a pity that the maid didn't know.
She immediately chased him angrily.
There was no one else in the castle corridor early in the morning, so Vivian's figure running away as fast as possible stood out very prominently, and she was immediately caught by the maid.
"Hey! You, stop!"
It turned out that the angry woman moved very quickly, and coupled with her familiarity with the castle, the maid caught up with the little girl in two or three times.
But later, after seeing clearly what the little girl was doing, the maid was about to ask why she didn't keep her promise, but she swallowed it back.
Because, I saw Vivian opening her room now.
As a maid in the castle, Alina could of course recognize that the guest room facing the little girl was not for servants to use at all, but was only for VIPs invited to the mansion by the Earl.
I immediately became anxious!
Alina thought it was because Vivian had just arrived and couldn't distinguish the rooms at all, so she accidentally went to the wrong room. Although most of the castle rooms were empty, it would be tragic if there was someone inside!
But.
Just when Alina wanted to quickly stop her.
But there was a delicate voice, one step ahead of her, coming from behind the maid.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Why are you so noisy?"
It's over... it's over!
There was no need to look back at all, just from this extremely familiar voice, Alina knew who was standing behind her.
The Count's daughter.
The rich daughter of the manor.
Liz.
But just when Alina was so scared that she wanted to kneel down quickly...
"Eh... Vivian!! You're awake! I said I was going to find you!"
