Chapter 1567 く(^_?)ゝ Roswaal's Letter?
It was not until several nights later that a certain little girl finally appeared in front of the gate of her mansion with cheers, and was warmly welcomed by her maids and guests (Emilia).
"Master, are you back?"
"Master, welcome back!"
"Master, master!!"
Beside Emilia and respectfully bowing to Annie who was returning home, were the twin sisters Ram and Rem in black maid outfits, and the newly promoted little maid Petra.
Of course, the emotions of Ram and Rem are still relatively calm, and there is not much disturbance about their master who did not know what they did outside and did not come back until now, while that Petra seemed a little excited , I don't know what she is excited about.
"Uh-huh!"
('???`)
"He's back!"
☆? (o???)?
Saying that, after casually greeting the four of them, Annie, who was carrying a somewhat dirty-looking bear, planned to enter the mansion.
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
"wait wait wait!!"
"Annie!"
"You're finally back. Why did you delay your return for so many days? We haven't heard from you all this time. What happened?"
Unlike the twin sisters Ram and Rem who could only worry in their hearts but didn't dare to speak out, and the newly promoted little maid Petra, Emilia, who was suspicious, directly Stopped Annie, and asked with some worry.
Because Little Annie didn't say when she would come back when she went out, and then disappeared for several days. Don't mention how worried they are during this time. Now that the other party finally comes back, she should always greet her if she is sensible. and ask for it.
"Um……"
('??? `)
"It's nothing, it's just that I just happened to meet some fun and delicious food, and then I accidentally forgot the time."
(????-)?
"Huh?"
(=′`=) Sniff~
"What's the matter, Emilia, there seems to be a strange smell in the house, did anything happen when she was away?"
(???.???)? ? ? ?
First, she sniffed the air, and when she smelled a faint smell of strangers in her home, Annie asked in surprise.
"ah?"
Looking at Anne's appearance, Emilia never thought that it could be like this.
"Is such that."
"Before, a few days before you came back, the head of Duke Karsten's family, His Excellency Crusch Karsten, who was quite prestigious in the kingdom, did come to visit, but you were not there at the time, so I had no choice but to Received them instead of you."
After being surprised, Emilia quickly recovered, and then began to talk about the incident a few days ago.
"??"
('?_?`)
"Cursch Karsten?"
く(^_?)ゝ
"who is it?"
(???.???)? ? ? ?
After thinking about it hard, Anne finally said that she didn't seem to know a person with that name, and since she didn't know him, it must not be an important guy.
"..."
"One of Lugnica's five candidates for succession to the throne, the lady in men's clothing with long green hair, the head of Duke Karlsten's family, she was the first to give a speech at the throne meeting, don't you Forgot?"
"You really forgot, right?!"
Staring round her eyes, Emilia was a little unbelievable.
Anyway, it was only a few days ago. Fortunately, the other party came to visit specially, so he just dropped by, but it is indeed a little strange that the little guy in front of him forgot so quickly. should.
"ah!"
(?_?)ヾ
"People still can't remember..."
=? ? ? ? ('ヮ'=????)
"Then what's the matter with her?"
(^▽^)
I bowed my head and thought for a while,
Annie still didn't remember who Emilia was talking about, so she directly asked the reason why the other party came to her house to visit her.
"..."
"She originally wanted to come to visit you, but you were not there at the time, so I went to receive them on your behalf..."
First he sighed, and then, Emilia explained the reasons why Lord Crusch Karsten came to visit, such as asking about the white whale, carrying the charred bones of the white whale, and showing goodwill to her side and "good intentions" 'Informing the Witch Cult and wanting to provide assistance, etc., I said it a little bit.
"The skeleton of the white whale..."
"Annie, I agree to let them move out, you don't mind, do you?"
"They said at the time that they would move to the capital to show the public, and at the same time, they would take the initiative to engrave your glorious deeds of hunting and burning the white whale on a stone tablet in front of the bones, so I..."
As she spoke, Emilia couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
After all, without Annie's consent, she directly agreed to the other party's removal of the bones based on her own imagination. If Annie had other uses, then she must have done something stupid.
"The skeleton of a white whale?"
(〃'▽'〃)
"Ah! So it hasn't been burned yet?"
(^▽^)
Annie thought that the weak white whale had been burned long ago, and was directly burned to ashes, but she was a little surprised that the other party still had bones left.
Thinking about it, it must be because she wanted it to burn longer, so she weakened the flame, it must be like that?
"Just move it away, anyway, bone dregs can't be eaten, so it's useless to keep them..."
(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut
Annie didn't mind, because she didn't care about that thing. Even if the other party didn't move it away, she would definitely not care about it, and she would definitely let the skeleton rot in the forest.
"ha!"
"That would be great!"
Hearing that Anne didn't take it seriously, Emilia couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and kept patting her own somewhat swollen chest.
"Yes, there are more!"
"Annie, during your absence, many visitors have come from the capital. Most of them are nobles and merchants in the kingdom. They all left their own letters. Have you ever thought about paying a return visit to them?"
At this time, after Emilia remembered the things that happened in the past few days when Anne was away, she started talking again.
To be honest, she has been really busy these days, because if the capital came to their territory, it would only take a day to go back and forth in a dragon carriage along Lyfaus Avenue, so those guys almost all gathered together. They came a few days ago, and until the news spread that Annie was not in the territory and no one could see them with their own eyes, the two days gradually decreased.
"Visitor?"
ヽ(゜q.)ノ?
"Do you know him?"
∑('△`)? !
"this……"
"You probably don't know him?"
Many people didn't even know Emilia herself, so she felt that Anne, who didn't even know His Excellency Crusch Karsten, definitely didn't know those people.
"Then ignore them!"
(,,???,,)...
Since it was a group of guys they didn't know, and they came here to show their hospitality, they must have no good intentions! So, Anne felt that she didn't seem to need to waste her precious time of eating, drinking and having fun talking to those guys.
"..."
Sure enough, Emilia gave Ram and Rem a helpless look.
Because before Annie came back, the three of them had already discussed and discussed it, and they agreed: a certain bad girl lord must have such an attitude!
But looking at it now, it was really as they had guessed, the little guy in front of him was indeed very lazy.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
ヾ(=??=)o
After learning about what happened in the mansion during the few days she was away, until it was not an important event, Anne asked again.
"..."
"..."
Ram and Rem didn't answer. They really wanted to know where Annie, the master, had been these past few days. However, seeing Annie's already impatient face, they were considerate and didn't dare to ask at this time.
"Shouldn't there be any?"
"The territory has been very peaceful these past few days. It's just that Your Excellency Crusch Karsten and those noble merchants from the capital have come to visit, and everything else seems to be gone."
She crossed her arms and thought for a while, then stretched out her finger and tapped her lower lip. Emilia thought for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly.
"Then go back quickly and get ready to eat, Rem, I'm hungry, and I want to eat a double meal later!"
? (?)?
"correct!"
? ? ? ? ? )? ?
"Is there any fresh meat at home? If not, I don't mind if you slaughtered the ground dragon in the mansion!"
(? ̄﹃ ̄?) Hey!
Annie began to imply frantically that she had wanted to eat the earth dragon for a long time, but she was suffering from no good chance, so she dragged it off until now.
"ah?"
"Eat, eat earth dragon?!"
Emilia was taken aback by Anne's jumpy and nonsensical idea!
"Lord, master!"
"The earth dragon is the only means of transportation in our mansion. If you eat it now, it will be very troublesome to go shopping in the city tomorrow. Are you sure you really want to eat it?"
Without waiting for Rem to nod in agreement, Ram hurriedly persuaded him.
You know, on weekdays, she or her younger sister Rem is in charge of purchasing all kinds of things in the royal city. It takes half a day to arrive at the royal capital by taking the dragon car along Lifaus Avenue. Go back, and if you eat the earth dragon, without the earth dragon, the dragon car will not have the power to run at high speed, then they have to walk to the king city, and the time to go back and forth will be delayed too much, not just a day or two. It can be solved!
"Yeah, master, Rem doesn't quite agree with eating the earth dragon now..."
"As for meat..."
"The villagers in the village sent a prey this afternoon, which is very fresh and is still alive. Therefore, Rem believes that there must be no shortage of ingredients for today."
"And then..."
"Master, it is said that the earth dragon meat that is specially used to pull carts is not very tasty. If the master wants to eat it, next time when I go shopping in the king's city, Rem will buy some earth dragon meat specially for eating. What do you think? "
At this time, Rem on the side also spoke.
In fact, the laws of Lugnica, the pro-dragon kingdom, do not allow the slaughter of earth dragons with good IQs, not only because they are important means of transportation and livestock for farming, but also because dragons are symbols of the kingdom. And even though the earth dragon is not considered a 'dragon', and its bloodline is very thin, it is still not allowed to be slaughtered according to the law.
Of course, laws are formulated and enforced by people, no matter how strict they are, there will always be people who will take risks. Therefore, Rem also has a way to obtain and satisfy their master's appetite from certain special markets.
"..."
(lll¬¬)
"Then don't eat for now, I'll go back and take a shower first!"
? ? (?? ̄? ̄)? ? ? ?
Seeing that these guys answered so reluctantly, and even united against eating earth dragons, Anne had no choice but to secretly resent them, and decided that next time, she must find a chance to be with them. Just beat them hard.
The kind where you take off your pants and spank your butt so swollen!
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"Why!"
"Master, master! You wait!"
At this moment, just as Annie was about to leave, the little maid Petra with a big red bow on her head suddenly remembered something, and quickly called Annie and rushed over at the same time.
"what?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"Master... Lord, master!"
"This is a letter that the patriarch's grandma asked me to hand over to you when I returned to Alam Village this morning, saying that it was the lord..."
"No, it was the former lord Roswaal who ordered it to be handed over to you!"
Petra spoke in a hurry, and then hurriedly took out the letter from her pocket, forgetting even the basic maid etiquette.
"letter?"
(?_?)ヾ
"Or a hot clown blame uncle?"
く(^_?)ゝ
Annie was a little baffled, wondering why that strange uncle wrote to herself instead of the other party personally?
However, she didn't mind those details, she took the letter carelessly, tore open the seal, and quickly browsed through it.
"..."
(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut
After reading it, Annie curled her lips in disdain, not paying attention to it at all.
"Annie, what's the matter?"
"Owner?"
"..."
Emilia, Rem, and Ram also gathered around curiously, and gave a certain little maid a bad look.
Because, after the other party came back from the village for such a long time, they have not informed them of this matter. As a trainee maid, she actually surpassed their seniors to ask for credit and rewards from her master to gain a sense of presence. This kind of thing is very, very bad. Very very taboo!
"Here! Anyway, it's not a big deal, you should see for yourself!"
(??? 3?)
"I have to go back and take a shower first!"
? ( ̄??)? ? ?
After finishing speaking, Anne threw the letter to the curious Emilia, then turned around and strode towards the corridor in the mansion.
"..."
And the little maid, Petra, glanced at the three of them, and remembered the horrible eyes they had just looked at her, she gritted her teeth, then hurriedly turned around and followed her. Behind Master Annie.
That's right, she intends to serve the great new lord to take a bath, instead of staying here to be reprimanded or punished by some two terrifying seniors.
"..."
"..."
"..."
After Emilia shook out the paper, Ram and Rem also came to the side curiously, and then the three of them looked together like this.
It turned out that it was written in my heart:
When Roswaal l. Mezzas went to investigate the situation a few days ago, he met two powerful guys, who seemed to be the lustful priest Regulus Cornias of the Witch Cult and the gluttonous priest Lai. Yi Badenkaitos?
Immediately afterwards, the two of them fought at a disagreement!
In the end, of course, Roswaal L. Mezzas was outnumbered and had to retreat temporarily after being injured. This was the real reason why the other party didn't show up for a few days.
Anyway, that's what the letter said!
He retreated to a place called 'Sanctuary' to recuperate, and before entering, he wrote such a letter and handed it over to a hunter in the village. In the end, the letter passed to the head of Alam Village, and the head of the village Today, I handed the letter to the little maid Petra. Finally, until now, the cunning Petra took out the letter.
"!!"
"It's Witch Cult again!!"
Ram and Rem looked at each other, their eyes gradually filled with murderous intent, and those two white and tender hands subconsciously clenched into fists.
"this……."
"Senior lust, bishop gluttony, and injured? Your Excellency Roswaal should be fine, right?"
Emilia finally knew why Roswaal l. Mezzas had no news for several days after he went to investigate. It turned out that he encountered two strong enemies and was injured after the battle. Didn't you find a safe place to recuperate?
"etc!"
"This kind of thing is obviously very serious. Their Witch Cult will definitely make a comeback after suffering a big loss, but Anne actually said it's not a big deal?"
"Why isn't this a big deal?!"
Immediately afterwards, Emilia frowned and exclaimed.
In her opinion, when the Witch Cult fell into the sand in the territory where they lived and lost a lot of manpower and a lazy bishop, they must have a grudge and will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so, then There is no doubt that it is a very important event, and it must be taken seriously!
"..."
"..."
Ram and Rem didn't speak, just stood aside silently.
Contrary to Emilia's worries, they, who have a mortal enmity with the Witch Cult, actually wish the Witch Cult would do it again in their hearts.
Then……
When the time comes, can they once again lead the Legion of Faceless Men and Mister N'Zoth to kill all the incoming enemies and wipe them out?
Yes, that's what they think!
Their twin sisters are maids here in the mansion, so they can't leave the mansion easily, and it's even less likely to ask for leave to take the initiative to attack the Witch Cult. Therefore, they really have no choice but to expect the other party to come to the house to provoke trouble. .
As for whether they can survive the fight at that time, they didn't pay much attention to that kind of thing.
Because, the two sisters firmly believe that with the great master Annie, all problems will be no problem, and all enemies are chickens and dogs, and they can fear nothing!
(????-)? Just don't be shy, ask for a monthly ticket every day~?
