Chapter 37 37 I Need a Housekeeper

Chapter 37 -37- I need a housekeeper

Quasimodo obviously didn't notice his master's increasingly darker complexion, and was still discussing the benefits of marriage.

It wasn't until Nice, who had already felt the gusts of cold wind, glanced at Charlotte, who had a gloomy expression, shuddered coldly, and coughed a few times quickly that the old servant was awakened from his fantasy.

"Meow...after the marriage, can we prevent the great master from being attacked again?"

Ness cleared his throat and asked meaningfully.

Quasimodo was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly fell into silence.

Obviously, he also thought of situations like "horse falling accident".

What if an illegitimate child enters the marriage?

As long as Castel himself is not strong enough to suppress it, even with the protection of the "Sacred Code", he will still be fat in the eyes of others.

Placing your hopes on others is equivalent to giving your life to others.

"I'm sorry...Master, I thought of things too simply..."

Quasimodo leaned down, with guilt on his old face.

Looking at Charlotte, who looked slightly relieved, Nice shook his head secretly:

Really, this old servant didn’t know what he was thinking, actually letting such a great being marry a mortal...

I just want to be punished by God!

Charlotte regained her composure, smiled slightly, and comforted:

"It doesn't matter, you are doing it for the family."

After finishing speaking, she also let out a long sigh.

Charlotte had realized it.

Unknowingly, he had become the vortex of the power game in the Principality of Boulder.

The trigger for the whirlpool was the succession to the earldom of Castres a year later.

The core behind it is the conflict of interests between the Duke's family and the vassal nobles.

The Duke must have had thoughts about the wealthy Castres, as did the other nobles.

Whether it's frame-up, assassination, or vicious rumors, everything revolves around the same purpose:

First, destroy the relationship between Castres and Bold, thwart the possible marriage between the two families in advance, block Bold's possible inheritance of the Earl of Castres, and prevent the Duke's family from further growing.

Secondly, using rumors and survival pressure to put pressure on Charlotte, Castel had to seek marriage among the nobles, and strive for more opportunities for his side to obtain the Earldom of Castel...

However, there was one thing Charlotte didn't understand.

That was the assassination in the afternoon. Was it a show or was it for real?

This really confused her.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is still an ordinary little girl, and there is a real chance that this assassination will succeed.

If I die and the Duke's Palace is revealed to be an attacker, who will gain the most?

Nobles of the same level in the principality? Other lords of the kingdom? king? Or...is it someone else?

Charlotte was lost in thought.

Unfortunately, there was too little information and she didn't have a clue.

After thinking to no avail, the girl gave up thinking.

The authorities are blind to the outside world, and continuing to stir things up will only make her more disadvantaged.

Instead of doing this, it was better to jump out of the vortex. Even temporarily jumping out to overlook the overall situation would allow her to see the situation clearly and discover the clues.

Thinking of this, Charlotte suddenly said:

"Quasimodo, I have changed my mind. I will not see any nobles in the next few days."

Quasimodo was stunned for a moment, then hesitated:

"Isn't this...not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Just tell the outside world that I was assassinated at home. I'm too frightened and need to rest. I refuse any visits or invitations until the banquet at the Duke's Palace arrives."

"Okay...ok."

"You should secretly pay attention to the movements in the city, especially the movements of various families, and...rumors."

"OK."

"In addition, I will perform a full set of dramas. In the next few days, I will go to the church hospital to invite some priests to come to my home regularly to perform spiritual soothing and magical treatments on me. Then I will go to the nearest church to invite some priests to take me to worship at home. ”

"Huh? Invite the priest to your home? This may be a bit difficult..."

"Change the previous lunch fee into treatment fee and invitation fee, and someone will come."

"Okay...ok."

"Also, go to the Demon Hunting Station in the western city to find Captain Chatham and tell him that I want to ask them to protect my safety in the next week."

"Hire demon-hunting knights? Master, demon-hunting knights belong to the church and generally do not accept employment tasks from nobles..."

"It's okay. This is not an employment, but a request between friends. Didn't we become friends yesterday? Of course, you have to prepare hard money."

"Isn't this just employment..."

The black cat Ness muttered, then received Charlotte's gentle glance and quickly closed his mouth.

Charlotte paused and then said:

"I don't need them to follow me all the time. It's enough to arrange for people to patrol around the manor. It's mainly to take advantage of the situation. I also want to see the courage of those guys in the dark."

"As commanded."

"If you don't have enough money, find some of the most valuable collections of paintings from the manor. Sell a bunch of art and other things first. Then you will have money by the end of the month, and you can buy them back again."

"Uh... ok."

Quasimodo's eyelids twitched, and he managed to hold back from saying that the collections in the manor were the old master's favorite treasures...

Well, I don’t feel bad about selling my father’s land.

"In addition, starting tomorrow, the new servants in the family will be trained by me personally."

"Follow...huh?"

Quasimodo was stunned.

He raised his head and looked at the girl sitting behind the desk, hesitated, and said:

"Master, this kind of thing... can be done by an old servant. You have a distinguished status..."

"It doesn't matter, I've also learned aristocratic etiquette, so the matter is settled."

Charlotte said.

She came up with this idea after she stopped drinking the assassin in the afternoon, because at that time she found that her proficiency in the ceremonial technique had obviously increased, reaching 24/100.

Now that I don't plan to interact with the nobles for the time being, the best way to improve my majestic skills is to practice with these new servants.

It can not only make them awe of themselves and increase their loyalty, but also quickly master the power of etiquette, killing two birds with one stone!

"OK."

Seeing that Charlotte was determined to do it, Quasimodo no longer stopped her, but bowed respectfully.

In his opinion, this is a sign that his little master also wants to grow up as soon as possible.

Although it is not etiquette, it is still a good thing.

Oh no.

From the moment the meal price was lowered, aristocratic etiquette and so on were all fed to the dogs.

After some arrangements, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned back and stretched lazily, but suddenly remembered something, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile:

"Actually...what you said makes sense."

"I am indeed too weak now. Maybe I really need to find a strong force to ward off these flies in the principality..."

Looking at the naughty smile faintly outlined on Charlotte's pretty face, Nice's heart moved slightly, and he had some guesses about the girl's thoughts and goals, and silently lit a candle for her in his heart...

Charlotte did not explain further, but looked at the darkening sky and yawned lazily:

"Okay, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, let's stop here today. It's time for me to rest."

After hearing this, Nice jumped off the desk and handed the girl's thick-soled shoes over like a dog.

Charlotte's feet under the desk weren't honest.

The thick-soled shoes were uncomfortable, so she had long taken them off.

While thinking, a pair of little feet kept retracting and stretching out. The white calves were shaking, and I didn't know where to kick the shoes.

However, outside the desk, the old servant Quasimodo's face was hesitant and he hesitated to speak.

Charlotte's heart moved:

"Quasimodo, what else is going on?"

"Well... indeed, Master, this afternoon I saw that you used extraordinary power to scare the assassins. Well... what kind of blood power did you awaken?"

Quasimodo asked expectantly.

"What kind of power? Does our family have more than one bloodline power?"

Charlotte was slightly startled.

Quasimo thought for a moment, shook his head first, but then nodded again:

"This...how do you say..."

"If you want to trace back to the original power, there is indeed only one kind of blood power in Castel. Like Boulder and even the Crescent Royal Family, it is the 'Elemental Awakening' of the mage system..."

"But you also know that nobles have been married for generations. Now, the nobles of Miria have been cross-married for countless generations."

"Everyone has me among you, and you among me. In addition to the most likely original bloodline, it is also possible to awaken other bloodlines."

"On the whole, our bloodline power is no longer single, but has become diverse, and anything can appear, so..."

Looking at Quasimodo's troubled expression, Charlotte understood.

In other words, from an extraordinary perspective, the nobles who have been married for generations have all become bastards.

Any power deep in the bloodline may be inherited, and there may also be skipped generation inheritance.

This is a good thing for her.

Because in this case, the vampire's identity can be better hidden.

"I don't know what I've awakened yet. It's probably related to the spirit."

Charlotte thought for a moment and said.

The identity of the vampire must not be exposed, even if the opponent is Quasimodo.

Quasimo thought for a while and said:

"If you are not sure, you can look through the books in the family collection that record the power of blood. It records the blood power of all the families that have been married to our Castel family in history. This is to prevent you from now Such a situation.”

"If you know what kind of power you have awakened, then you can find targeted ways to improve it, conduct training, and improve your strength."

"I see."

Charlotte nodded slightly, planning to look through it later to find someone who could be exploited.

After telling Charlotte where the books are kept, Quasimodo leaves.

Watching the other party leave, Charlotte sighed slightly.

Quasimodo is loyal, very loyal.

But he is only a mortal after all.

Not only that, when considering the problem, the other party prefers to stand from Castel's point of view rather than from her point of view.

He is indeed loyal.

But not entirely true to Charlotte herself.

In addition, this dedicated old servant also lacks sufficient political sensitivity...

At this moment, Charlotte suddenly understood why the family had arranged for such a loyal servant to be a shopkeeper instead of staying in the manor as a housekeeper.

As a servant he is very qualified.

But as a butler... he is really not good enough.

"It seems that I need a more loyal and qualified butler..."

"It would be best if it was a supernatural person who had reached a higher level."

Charlotte said to herself.

After that, she quickly shook her head.

Even she herself has not yet been promoted to the first level of the stars, she is dreaming!
