189 Joseph’s Displeasure
The butler had a mustache and looked very gentlemanly, but his face was serious and he looked like a very serious person. ◇↓◇↓小◇↓ said,
Generally speaking, a qualified housekeeper should tactfully remind the owner at the appropriate time what should and should not be done.
However, there are actually very few housekeepers who can do this. Because housekeepers are servants after all, even if their status is much higher than ordinary people, they inherently lack confidence in front of their masters, and the masters' personalities are different. Not all housekeepers can be neither humble nor overbearing.
The butler in front of him now is one of the rare real butlers who dares to speak out and persuade his master.
When he said this, Emma immediately stayed away from Liang Lidong, and then said with embarrassment: "Joseph, I am still the saint of the Storm Temple, so what you said is correct."
"Since you understand, Miss, I won't say anything more." Joseph smiled slightly: "Welcome back, Miss, we haven't seen you for more than two years, and everyone in the castle is missing you. .”
Emma showed a reassuring smile: "Yes, I know."
There is no luxurious welcome ceremony or strict guards. It is difficult to imagine that this is an exclusive castle for a real princess. Liang Lidong and others followed Emma, walked across the suspension bridge, entered the gate of the castle, passed the garden, and then stopped in the large main hall.
Every castle will have such a place, which is usually used to entertain guests and hold banquets.
A few people sat down, and the butler Joseph ordered the servants to prepare dishes and fruit wine to entertain the guests. Emma's teacher was next to her, always looking at her with loving eyes, as if her mother was watching her. My daughter has returned home after a long absence.
Liang Lidong had dealt with many big nobles in the game and had been in and out of many large castles, but this place gave him a very different feeling, even though the castle was not big compared to other nobles. But it gives people a warm feeling.
Perhaps it was because of the servants who appeared and left from time to time. Although they were still very polite, Liang Lidong could see it. Their expressions were very relaxed, completely unlike the trembling expressions of servants in other noble castles.
Only a tolerant and kind master can have such subordinates or servants.
Liang Lidong knew this very well, so he couldn't help but think Emma was a pretty good person. At least she doesn't have the arrogant habit of ordinary aristocratic women. For example, Alice is a very arrogant person. If Liang Lidong hadn't been far superior to her in terms of personal strength and knowledge, she would have been looked down upon by her.
Of course, being arrogant is not a bad problem, it just makes people a little unhappy. Overall, Alice is still a good girl.
After several people had eaten the dinner carefully prepared by Emma, they were ready to rest.
The middle-aged butler Joseph helped them arrange their rooms, and Liang Lidong was assigned to the top floor. Although the room was still luxurious, even Kyle, who was the slowest to react, could see the profound meaning of this arrangement.
Emma smiled softly, and then followed her teacher to her room to rest.
The room on the top floor is also very clean and beautiful, with all the necessary daily necessities. Liang Lidong sat in front of a desk with several books on it. He picked up one of them and read it slowly.
This is a very ordinary knightly biography, telling the revenge of a down-and-out prince, and the content is quite erotic. Deeply loved by many men in the world.
Joan of Arc got in through the window, climbed into bed and went to sleep. Liang Lidong ignored it and continued reading the novel.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Liang Lidong smiled lightly, knowing that he was indeed here.
He opened the door, and the person outside the door was indeed the middle-aged butler Joseph.
"Is something wrong?" Although Liang Lidong guessed his purpose, he still needed the necessary opening remarks.
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Joseph said with a smile.
I have to admit that this is a very gentlemanly middle-aged man. He stood up straight, his clothes were clean and tidy, and his smile was very kind.
"Please." Liang Lidong opened the door.
The two of them entered the room and sat down. Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the book spread out on the table. As long as they are normal men, they seem to like that book, but in some cases, the book seems a bit dazzling.
"Reading is a shortcut for human beings to become noble, but in many cases, the things recorded in books may not be all good." The middle-aged housekeeper said in a calm tone: "I wonder if you have any objections to what I say?"
"Completely agree." Liang Lidong nodded: "But you must burn the book that makes people learn bad things."
The middle-aged butler frowned, and then he sighed: "Well, since you are also a smart person, I won't beat around the bush. I just saw that the young lady seems to have a good impression of you!"
Liang Lidong nodded: "It seems so."
"Then I don't know what you think of Miss."
Liang Lidong thought for a while and said: "A good girl, although not too smart, should have a good heart. And she is also ruthless in big and bad things, and she can be considered grand in her actions. In addition, she is from a noble family. I I don’t think there are many human women who are stronger than her in this world.”
"Indeed!" Joseph's face was full of pride: "Our lady is not only beautiful, good-natured, and strong, but she is also a princess. As long as any man who has seen her will fall in love with her. She is a symbol of fame. In fact, I don’t see any man who can be worthy of her, the pearl of Hollevin.”
Liang Lidong said a little strangely: "I know Emma is indeed a good girl, but what's the use of saying this to me?"
"You are not interested in our young lady?"
Liang Lidong smiled slightly: "First of all, let me declare two points. First, I have no interest in little girls. Second, I already have a wife. And Emma and I are just friends and comrades-in-arms, and we have no other ideas. .”
Joseph's face suddenly turned ugly: "You look down on our young lady."
"It's not that you look down on me, it's just that you misunderstood our relationship."
Joseph looked at the calm Lidong Lidong, snorted, and looked unhappy. There is an expression that makes you feel disgusted that my goods are so good. After staring at Liang Lidong for a while, he said bitterly: "This is best. Our young lady has an important mission. She has a lofty goal. She will become a saint and a hero known to everyone. As long as she hits Only a destined person can become her husband, not someone who appears out of nowhere."
After saying this, Joseph left. Liang Lidong looked at the door of the room and shouted: "Mission?"
Joseph went downstairs and went directly to the second floor, where he happened to meet the female mage who was coming out of Emma's room. She called to Joseph and said, "Butler, your face looks very bad. Did you encounter something troublesome? "
Joseph looked at Emma's door, and the female mage said: "Don't worry, the lady has already gone to bed. You also know her habits. Once she sleeps in her own bed, she won't wake up until the next morning. .”
"But let's find a quiet place to talk, it's safer.",
"All right."
The two entered a small house, and then Joseph said: "I went to talk to the young man just now."
"Oh? What's the result?" The female mage's face was full of curiosity.
Joseph looked depressed: "He blocked the conversation. He said that he was not interested in our young lady, that she was too young, and that he already had a wife... Are you kidding? There are still other people in this world. Is there a woman more beautiful than our young lady? How dare he not be interested in our young lady, he is really... so arrogant. "
Looking at Joseph with an angry look on his face, the female mage had a smile on her wrinkled face: "Why, you used to be the one to warn others not to get close to the lady, but now you are blocked by others, you know you feel uncomfortable. . You don’t even think about how pitiful those young people you scolded away before were.”
"I am doing this for the good of the young lady." Joseph said dissatisfiedly: "You should also know that the young lady has the important task of saving the world. If she deviates from her mission, it will not be good for her."
The old mage waved his hand: "I don't think it matters. There is no destiny that needs to be borne by a few young boys. If there is really a demon that destroys the world, it should be us old bones who bear it first, and then it is the turn of those little ones. Boy, if Miss can figure this out, I will be very happy."
Joseph frowned and said: "Pamela, you should also understand that the mission of the young lady should be given by God. You should also know that the young lady also tried to resist fate back then, but what kind of result did she get?"
Pamela fell silent and said nothing.
Joseph continued: "No matter what, what the young lady is doing now has begun to deviate from the trajectory of destiny. According to what she told us before, she should be on her way to get the cloak of bravery now."
"I still say the same thing, I don't want this fate." Pamela shook her head.
Joseph said: "I think it is necessary to drive that young man away. The young lady's fate is determined by God, and this is a fact that no one can change. If she follows her destiny, although the second half of her life will not be very happy, at least You can die a good death, but what if you don’t follow fate’s guidance?”
"Will something happen to the lady?"
After Joseph said this, he left the small house, leaving Pamela alone in the small room.
The next day, everyone woke up and after breakfast, Liang Lidong ignored Joseph's slightly hostile gaze and said directly to Emma: "Can I check the historical records you keep here?"
Emma was stunned for a moment: "Are you trying to find out about the shield sealing formation?"
"Well! If it is really here." Liang Lidong nodded: "Maybe the official records here will mention it." (To be continued.)
