Chapter 1667 Diligent Maid
Sandrina is a maid working at the Castle of Blois.
To be honest, as a Squib, not only is it difficult to receive a normal wizarding education in the wizarding world, but it is also quite difficult to find a job that can survive.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a great kindness to her that she, who has nothing to do with the Bulova family at all, can be taken in here to work as a maid under some coincidences.
And perhaps it is precisely because of this gratitude to the Blois family that the young Sandrina works diligently every day. She is usually the first to get up in the morning and sleeps longer than most maids at night. later.
For example, these nights, no matter how late Maka and the three of them come back, they can always see her and the old housekeeper waiting silently in the corridor and the other in the hall.
Of course it was the same tonight.
Kingsley had already returned before, and when he passed the only path connecting the hall and the stairs, Sandrina stood there and softly asked if he needed supper as usual. Even though Maca and the others usually don't eat much at night, she still asks intimately every night.
As for now... It has been more than two hours since Kingsley came back, and the time has entered the middle of the night. To be honest, Sandrina was already very sleepy. Just standing there, her eyelids couldn't help but drop.
But she still stood there with her head slightly lowered, maintaining the posture that a maid should have, almost without losing her shape at all.
"Sandrina?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded not far in front of her, making her whole body tremble slightly when she happened to be dozing off.
The next moment, she hurriedly raised her head to take a look, then immediately leaned down and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Housekeeper, I..."
"No, no, there's nothing to apologize for," the old housekeeper who came to see her waved his hands lightly and said, "Sandrina, go to sleep if you're sleepy! After all, even if you stay here all the time, when Mr. McLean comes back You may not be able to see it."
"How can it be..." Sandrina shook her head and said, "Mr. Butler, you also said that Mr. McLean is the most honored guest of our Blois family-so, even if it is very likely to miss it, but He came back late tonight, what if he gets hungry by chance? It's better for me to stay here!"
"Ok,
The old housekeeper stroked the white beard on his upper lip, thought for a while and said, "Then you can take half a day off tomorrow morning!" Get a good night's sleep...it's not just for your body, it's also for being able to function better. "
Having said that, the old butler immediately turned and left.
Behind him, Sandrina looked at the butler who was slowly leaving, and couldn't help pursing her lips a little—didn't Mr. Butler stay so late himself? The old butler is getting older now, and perhaps he is the one who needs rest the most.
Just as Sandrina was thinking this in her heart, the old butler who had just walked back to the side door of the hall suddenly leaned towards a certain direction in the hall and gave a salute.
Then, I heard the old butler say:
"Welcome back, both of you... Oh, Mr. Shacklebolt has gone back to his room to rest—"
Just after saying this, the old butler suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head hastily, and beckoned towards Sandrina.
When the smart Sandrina saw it, she immediately stepped forward knowingly, and then stood behind the old housekeeper and looked towards the hall outside. After that, she also bowed down and saluted with the old housekeeper.
"Both, welcome back—do you want supper or a bath?"
The ones outside right now are Maca and Delphi who just came back from the royal manor. While Sandrina was speaking, the old butler had quietly stepped aside, watching Sandrina politely ask Maca for her needs with a smile.
"Oh! I really want to take a shower, but I still have a lot of things to do, let's forget about today!" Maca looked at Sandrina and shrugged, "Speaking of which, you look more tired than me Otherwise, you can take my place in the bathroom and take a dip to relieve fatigue!"
It seemed to Sandrina that this Mr. McLean was really busy. After making a little joke with himself, the other party took that exceptionally beautiful "female companion" past her and the old housekeeper, and went to the other end of the corridor.
"Fortunately, Mr. McLean is not going anywhere late tonight... Sandrina, go to sleep! Remember to rest tomorrow morning, understand?" At this point, the old housekeeper suggested as if to add:
"By the way, I think what Mr. McLean said is right—you go to take a bath and sleep well, which is quite helpful for sleep."
After finishing speaking, the old butler nodded to Sandrina, then turned back again.
Sandrina, who was urged by two people to take a bath just now, hesitated for a moment, as if she really wanted to go to the bathroom to take a dip and relax, she hesitated, but walked lightly towards the bathroom.
...
"Wait so late?"
Maca, who had just left there, suddenly nodded slightly with emotion, and muttered something to himself. After Delphi heard it, he couldn't help explaining further to Maca:
"She's here every night. Dad, you always walk out of the hall when you come back, so you rarely see her?"
"Every day?" Maca nodded hurriedly after hearing the words, "That's really not easy... Well, I'm starting to feel that it's really not good to come back too late."
Having said that, that's all he said. Even if he didn't want to do some things, he couldn't easily let them go.
"Delphi, you don't have to go with me, just go to rest!"
When passing the stairs going upstairs, Maca stopped for a while and watched Delphi go upstairs. When he could no longer see the figure of the other party, he turned around and continued walking towards the tower where he lived.
"Ah... let's continue to study the Devouring Mirror!"
The unfinished business is still piled up like a mountain, regardless of whether others sleep or not, anyway, Maca is probably going to work all night again today.
"Oh, I seem to have slept soundly."
When passing by the second floor where Ens was, Maca looked at the other's room and couldn't help but chuckled and nodded. Immediately afterwards, he walked up the stairs and re-entered the room where he was staring at the Devouring Mirror in a daze.
At about the same time, Sandrina had packed her clothes and walked into the bathroom dedicated to the servants. The bathtub, which is hardly smaller than the main bathroom, and all kinds of complete supplies and facilities show the preferential treatment of the Blois family to their servants.
