"Why……………"
Returning to her room, Audrey let out a long sigh. She sat on a chair, unable to hide the fatigue between her brows.
For Audrey, her life has been a mess since her engagement was canceled in public.
As a noble daughter, Audrey naturally received an elite education from an early age. She also knew that she would marry the son of a duke in the future. For this reason, Audrey is also working hard to learn the knowledge, posture and knowledge that a duchess should have.
To be honest, Audrey didn't have any special feelings for the Duke's son. The two met for the first time when they were very young. After that, they met once a year. But Audrey could feel that the Duke's son was not very enthusiastic about her and didn't care much about her. In fact, the same goes for Audrey. For her, the Duke's son is her marriage partner, but other than that, she doesn't seem to have any special feelings for the Duke's son.
Audrey is not surprised by this. Political marriage is such a thing. In fact, the same is true for her parents. Audrey also knows that her father and mother have good lovers outside. Their marriage is not so much a matter of marriage. Love is more like political work and obligation.
However, even so, when the Duke's son broke the engagement in public, Audrey still felt confused and uneasy.
She was not sad because of jealousy or abandonment, but because she was uneasy about the future.
After all, Audrey has been learning how to be a qualified duchess since she was a child. It can be said that the meaning of her existence lies in this.
But now, the duke's son has broken her engagement, which means that she can no longer become a duchess. This means that Audrey's more than ten years of life and efforts from birth to now have been in vain. It has become a meaningless existence.
So, where should I go from here?
Audrey didn't know what to do with her future. Although there was a shocking inside story about the Duke's son breaking his engagement, it was an indisputable fact that he had broken his engagement. No matter what the reason was, now he It is impossible to marry another noble.
Maybe... I will become a political bargaining chip for my parents and marry a big businessman? After all, this possibility is not impossible. Audrey also knows that some nobles will obtain some capital by marrying their daughters to some wealthy businessmen. Although it is no longer possible for him to find a buyer in the aristocratic world, it is not impossible if he is a businessman.
But when Audrey learned about her fate from her father, she was still surprised.
"You should become the personal maid of His Excellency the Dragon Slayer Knight."
Dragon Slayer Knight.
Audrey was no stranger to this name. After all, when the evil dragon Favna attacked the royal city, everyone had seen it. As for the powerful knight killing the dragon that even Her Royal Highness could not defeat, Audrey Dai'er was also deeply impressed. Moreover, she also learned from social circles that Regnis and the king of Manalia seemed to intend to betroth the princess to him.
But that's all Audrey knew.
The knight didn't seem to be interested in attending banquets and never appeared in aristocratic circles, but no one complained or complained about it. Frankly speaking, Audrey was somewhat surprised when she saw this dragon-slaying knight appear at her engagement dinner.
To be honest, Audrey's first impression of Duanmu Huai was in line with her imagination of the dragon-slaying knight. He was tall and mighty, and his whole person was filled with the aura of a strong man. Although he looked particularly scary, he was not I can't understand... After all, he was the one who killed the Evil Dragon King. If he were a pretty boy, it would make people feel out of place.
What happened after that, it has been a while since Audrey became Duanmu Huai's personal maid.
but……………
"What on earth am I supposed to do?"
Looking at her hands, Audrey also murmured to herself, yes, this is exactly what she has been worried about.
That is, she doesn't know what to do.
Her Highness the Princess is right. Although a maid sounds like a maid, in fact it is not just as simple as serving the master. She is also responsible for handling chores in the mansion and even interpersonal relationships. To put it simply, a personal maid is like a housekeeper dedicated to a certain person, trying to meet the other person's requirements as much as possible.
But the problem is... Duanmu Huai never makes any demands to her!
This adult didn't ignore her existence, he just simply... didn't seem to need her to do anything for him!
To be honest, even if this gentleman looked at her with a certain intention like other men, Audrey knew that she could do something.
but it is not the truth.
Audrey could detect that there was no special meaning in Duanmu Huai's eyes when he looked at her, and it was not impossible for her to understand. After all, this Excellency already had two princesses, An and Gu Leiya, as his fiancée, and he had a wife beside him. The girls are almost as beautiful as myself, and... they are all more interesting than me.
Yes, Audrey also knows that she is a boring woman.
If you ask her what her interests are, she seems to have no idea what she is interested in. She rarely eats desserts because she has to control her intake to maintain her figure. Although she also studied hard in the arts, none of them were out of interest. They were all studied with dignity as a "duchess".
She has studied hard since childhood and made herself suitable for the position of "Duchess". This is the only meaning of Audrey's existence.
Not only that………
Audrey raised her head and looked out the window. The huge fireball that could be blazing outside the window, as well as the metal battleship illuminated by the light - she remembered that Duanmu Huai said that it was called a star, and it was also the sun. The place they are in is called a galaxy. In each galaxy, there is a sun...
Yes, this is Audrey's biggest trouble.
Following Duanmuhuai, she saw many things that she had never imagined before. She even followed Duanmuhuai to hell and faced the devil directly. This also made Audrey clearly understand that the master she was following was far more sophisticated than an ordinary noble. Because of this, Audrey was also very anxious. She had no idea what a person like herself could do here.
It was as if a poor man who had been living in a poor countryside came to the luxurious royal capital. There were things everywhere that Audrey could not understand, imagine, or correspond to.
What are these things?
How to do it?
The knowledge she has learned is almost completely useless in this world. The only thing she can do now is such a trivial thing as delivering meals and black tea to Duanmu Huai.
But this is obviously far from enough.
In fact, Odele is very envious of Ogis and Feline who can do their own things freely, but she is different. This is not because Odele is bound by her own identity, but that even if she is told "You can do it" "What I want to do", Audrey didn't know what she wanted to do.
All in all, let’s read the book first.
Audrey thought of this and reached out to take the book on the table. It was a book called "Astronomy" that she borrowed from the library. According to Her Royal Highness, it described the book called "The Universe" The knowledge of the world, maybe, after learning this, she will be closer to the place where the master is?
Maybe...that's it.
While Audrey was studying hard, Duanmu Huai was in contact with the guardian civilization.
"The prison was invaded?"
Duanmuhuai sat on the chair and looked at Caide No. 6 opposite, who nodded.
"We have just received a report that the Elder Prison where the Fallen Baron is imprisoned has just been invaded. It is certain that they are coming for the imprisoned Fallen Baron. We must go there immediately, but because the guardians are short of manpower, so... I wonder if I can ask the Inquisitor to help?”
"The Fallen...are those wandering pirates."
Duanmuhuai recalled the records of the Guardian civilization about the Fallen. According to the records of the Guardian civilization, the Fallen were once one of the alien races inspired by travelers. Later, the Guardian abandoned them and fled, and then this race became They turned into a group of alien pirates, burning, killing and looting everywhere... But then again...
"You actually locked up these damn aliens. If you ask me, just kill them and there won't be any problems. I suggest that the Voice of Truth go directly and shoot the prison to ensure that all the troubles are solved."
Duanmu Huai obviously couldn't understand the idea of the guardian civilization. In his opinion, these fallen barons were a scourge. Wouldn't it be better to kill them directly? Idiot things like this often happen in games. People who can obviously be killed have to be locked up, but after the other party escapes, they still have to chase them and kill them after they are caught.
Since they are bound to die sooner or later, why not kill them directly instead of waiting for them to escape? Isn't this unnecessary?
"Although I personally want to do this, it's a pity that I can't say it."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's complaint, Capita No. 6 shrugged helplessly.
"Oh well."
Duanmu Huai stood up.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll just go with you. By the way, you know the style of our Tribunal, and I won't be merciful."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you for help... By the way, I thought you were very busy?"
"I've been so bored lately that I'm almost panicking."
Duanmuhuai stretched while talking. He didn't lie. Apart from dealing with some paperwork, Duanmu Huai really had nothing to do recently. He was quite bored and wanted to find a place to stretch his body.
"Let's go."
