The former captain of the guard was named Yunxiao Aix. He was a person who drifted from the sea to the Snow City Bay due to a shipwreck ten years ago and was rescued by the people of Snow City.

Because of his talent in martial arts, he was accepted as an apprentice by a great swordsman in Snow City. Five years ago, he became a guard of the castle and was promoted to captain of the guard three years ago.

I'm only twenty years old this year.

After the butler introduced Yunxiao's identity, he said curiously:

"He said before that he was going to go back to sea to look for his family. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly decided to stay."

The little black boy was pouting while chewing a snow fruit. What else could he do? Of course he saw his owner.

But soon, Xiao Hei became curious again.

"Master, if you hadn't suddenly come downstairs today, would your husband have gone out to sea, and you two would have been separated forever?"

"No," Bai Chi said with certainty.

"Huh? What? Your husband won't leave? Or you won't go downstairs?"

Xiao Hei was a little confused.

"The ship goes out to sea once a month, and I have to control the wind on the sea."

So Bai Chi is not worried at all. It’s just the difference between meeting it earlier or later.

At this time, Yunxiao was taking an exam with other butler candidates, and the content of the exam was arranged by the butler.

From checking the castle's accounts, to arranging servants' work, managing the gardens, and even preparing banquets.

Although Yunxiao had not received any systematic training, he had at least been in the castle for five years, and as the captain of the guard, he was very familiar with the castle's affairs.

Even though I didn't do as well as others, I still completed the assessment in an acceptable manner.

Yunxiao was very nervous, his heart was in his throat. Compared with the confident people around him, he was in stark contrast.

But unfortunately, the assessment was arranged by the housekeeper, but the final decision was in Bai Chi's hands.

Bai Chi's gaze swept over everyone, and everyone stood up straighter instantly, in a very standard, aristocratic butler's standing posture.

Then, Bai Chi looked at Yun Xiao.

"You stay here and familiarize yourself with the management of the entire castle within three days. Can you do it?"

Yunxiao was instantly excited: "Yes! I can definitely do it. Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Bai Chi nodded slightly with reserve, stood up, went upstairs, took two steps, stopped, and turned to look at Yunxiao.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly caught up.

Although the old butler was puzzled, since it was the city lord's decision, he naturally didn't say much.

When Bai Chi reached the corner of the stairs, he looked down.

His eyes swept over everyone and then looked at the old butler.

"Give them ten gold coins each as their salary for this period."

In fact, when these people were interning with the old housekeeper, they also received salaries, but not as much.

Everyone who was originally disappointed immediately smiled when they heard that there were still ten gold coins.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

There was only one person who was very unwilling and looked aggrieved.

Xiao Hei was still sitting on Bai Chi's shoulders, his two little feet swinging back and forth, also looking at the unwilling person.

I took a bite of the crispy and sweet snow fruit.

"Master, that's your brother. They really don't look alike at all. You can't tell they're twins at all."

That’s right, the original owner and the younger brother who was taken away by his parents were twins.

He came back two years ago, but did not reveal his identity. Instead, he mixed in with the team of applicants for the butler position and studied diligently for two whole years.

But again, he failed, so he left Snow City again, and two years later, he returned to Snow City and the castle with the fake prince as the prince's guard.

Her incandescent gaze swept over him and then retracted again, without any extraneous emotion throughout.

"Ever since my parents took him away and left me alone ten years ago, I have no brother and no family."

They wanted freedom, wanted to see the vast world, and even brought their children with them.

But he forgot about the other child, who was also only eight years old.

Although they were all children, they had to face being abandoned by their parents and brothers, and had to take on the burden of the entire Snow City.

For ten years, apart from calming the storms on the sea every month, he spent the rest of the time practicing non-stop, so that he would not have enough magic power the next time he was needed to calm the storm.

For ten years, a wave of snow beasts attacked Snow City every year. The city lord, who was only eight years old, had to rush to the front line. In order to protect the people of Snow City, he was the person who hunted the most snow beasts.

He's only eight years old!
