One morning a week later.

In the bedroom of the mansion, Miss Gweil had just gotten up. A maid was helping her with her hair, while another maid was helping her with her dress.

Today she was wearing an aristocratic dress with blue and black as the main color. There was a dark blue gauze between the sleeves and the hem, covering the fair skin underneath, making her look hazy and beautiful.

The door was gently knocked open, and a slightly younger maid walked into the room. She had golden hair that was tied into a fluffy shape at the back of her head, part of which was hidden in a white maid's hat.

"Good morning, Miss."

"Good morning, Iyena."

As she spoke, the slightly younger maid walked over to Gavel's side and stood still.

After Loran Hill joined this viscounty, Iena was also brought in by her. Now she is Gweil's personal maid, and can be said to be half of Gweil's deputy.

In the imperial court, being a personal maid for aristocratic women was a special position. Unlike ordinary maids who performed odd jobs or served as servants, this position was often filled by the daughters of lesser nobles, given titles by a great noble.

These daughters of minor nobles have received education since childhood. They can help the hostess to handle some paperwork or convey some wishes and ideas. They are the right-hand men of the women of great nobles.

Because they stay by their side all year round, they are trusted by the noble ladies and sometimes help them manage certain industries, etc. As a result, their power and status far exceed those of other servants and are second only to the butlers.

Iyena now plays such a role. She often stays by the young lady's side and helps her with simple matters. Of course, this also includes monitoring Gweil. After all, Loran Hill can't completely trust Gweil.

Compared with completely indulgent trust, this kind of restraint can actually allow both parties to cooperate better.

However, what surprised Loran Hill was that Miss Gweil did not reject such behavior. She even knew the reason behind it very well and told Iena beside her every detail.

"Mr. Wuming, are you up yet? Can we have breakfast together today?" After finishing her hair, Gweil asked Iena beside her.

The nameless knight lived on the other side of the same building, but their rooms were at opposite ends of the corridor, quite far apart. On weekdays, the nameless knight would eat in his room, not with the others. The occasional cleaning of the room was also done by Iyena, and no one else was allowed to enter that room.

"Lord Wuming has gotten up. He should be directing the reconstruction work with Mr. Guhuas." Iyena recalled the scene of seeing Loran Hill this morning and explained.

"I'm sorry that I can't have lunch with Miss Gweil." Iyena bowed and apologized on behalf of the nameless knight.

According to public statements, Iena was the girl rescued by the unknown knight on the roadside. Now she is homeless and has no choice but to join here.

Pursing her lips slightly, Gweil lowered her head in disappointment.

"I see..."

During the past few days of getting along, Iyena could see that Gweil had an extraordinary liking for this nameless knight, even a kind of blind admiration for him.

Iyena was very puzzled by this, and once she even asked Gweil privately.

"Don't you resent Lord Wuming? After all, it was he who saved your father's murderer."

Gweil was sitting under the candlelight, looking out the quiet window, and answered slowly.

"While that's true, it wasn't his father he killed."

"Besides, how can everyone be so sure that I have a good relationship with my father?" The noble girl turned around and said this, the look in her pupils was like a void and starry sky.

"I bleed his disgusting blood, and I have to be grateful to him for giving me life, but love is not that simple."

The noble girl was unwilling to say more about what happened afterwards.

These days, Loran Hill also asked the residents in the city about the past of the former Viscount Wenlani, and learned some things about the past.

The Wenlani family originated in the central part of the empire. It was not a famous family, and none of its ancestors had any outstanding military achievements. So how did they obtain such large tracts of land?

You know, the origins of many nobles in the southern border can be traced back to their ancestors, most of whom are officers and generals who made military achievements during the empire's southern expedition.

Although the Viscount is not considered a great noble, he is also a middle-level noble with a certain status, and his family legacy can be passed down through generations.

This has to mention the several lucky things that happened to his ancestors. Perhaps it was because the family bloodline was indeed good. In that generation, Wenlani's ancestor had a sister with an extremely beautiful appearance. In order to establish a relationship with the general, he made his sister the lover of a general.

In this way, he also used his connections to get a military post, gained a lot of military merit, and eventually even received the title of Baron. But any higher title was out of the question. After all, at that time, the Green Empire was at its peak, and the system was strict. At the level of Viscount, one had to report to the emperor and be strictly reviewed.

Later, relying on their status as barons, the Wenlani family began to build a manor here and initially constructed a castle belonging to their own family.

After two generations, they gradually integrated into the local aristocratic circle. Since they were granted titles, their bloodiness gradually subsided, and the nobles in the surrounding circle were no longer as aggressive as their ancestors, and naturally they no longer rejected the "useless" family like Wenlani as they did in the past.

Because we're all useless.

A comfortable life is so comfortable that people don’t want to take any risks and get involved in bloodshed.
