<...Chapter 668: Be safe
"Oh?"
Listening to Anne's speech, Avis suddenly became interested.
After all, she was Fiona's personal maid, so he was a little curious about what Anne wanted to do.
"Is this what the Lord wants, or is this what you want?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the Lord. It is entirely my personal behavior!"
As she spoke, the black-haired, green-eyed head maid straightened her chest to make herself look more powerful.
"Please do not betray the lord's trust in you. Your rights are not unlimited."
"Interesting... Did you notice something, head maid?"
Under Anne's vigilant gaze, Avis suddenly revealed a somewhat weird look.
At the same time, other sounds in the surrounding environment and the figures of the servants suddenly disappeared. In the faded and empty corridor, only Anne and Avis, whose hearts were filled with alarm, were left.
"I advise you not to act rashly, Lord Boli. If something happens to me, your actions will inevitably be exposed."
Trying hard to maintain her composure, Anne warned Avis sternly.
"Don't react so strongly, head maid. This is just a small isolation spell that allows us to discuss some things quietly."
Avis keenly caught the trembling and anxiety hidden deep in Anne's eyes, and revealed a strange smile.
"Here, no one else can hear our conversation. So if I tell you that I do have some purpose for the Lord, what will you do? The Princess of the Crystal Bird, the legendary Star of Prophecy... Look, how famous our Lord is.
Do you know, head maid, that in some places outside, the bounty of our lord has even reached a figure that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!"
"…Are you so confident telling me this?"
Seeing Anvis saying these things to her nonchalantly, Anne's heart gradually became shrouded in a haze.
This was a very dangerous omen. Such a secret obviously should not be revealed to anyone, but Anvis told her directly, which was abnormal... There was only one possibility, the person in front of her was not worried that she would reveal his secret.
What better way to keep a secret than to make the person who knows the truth disappear from the face of the earth?
Although she was extremely anxious, Anne found that she had no other options. She had already secretly sent out a signal for help, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no response.
"These are all public information. What can I hide?"
Knowing Anne's little movements well, Avis smiled and slowly began to approach her.
"Also, Miss Head Maid, before you showed me your threat, didn't you consider your own safety?"
"You...if I die here, the Lord will immediately sense it. If you want to attack me, you can try it, Lord Levenboli!"
Faced with Avis's pressure, Annie instinctively took a step back, but immediately took a step forward the next moment, responding with a stern face, while her left hand behind her back began to secretly make magical gestures.
Although she appears to be only a fourth-level professional, her real strength is actually fifth-level, so she is not completely powerless to fight back.
Even if the other party succeeds, her death can serve as a warning to the young lady, alerting her to Levenbery's conspiracy.
"I think you may have misunderstood something, Miss Anne. I just want to remind you that when doing something that may be dangerous, you should first pay attention to your own safety."
Facing Annie who was ready for battle, Avis suddenly smiled with ease, retracted his previous sense of oppression, and returned to his usual tepid attitude.
Meanwhile, the world around them begins to return to normal.
The colors of the corridor became vivid again. Other maids passed by the two of them. The sounds of moving furnishings, cleaning carpets, and whispering conversations reached their ears, making Anne suddenly feel as if she was in another world.
"Now, if it's convenient, please move aside for a moment. I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Ignoring Anne's vigilance, Avis walked forward on his own, passing by Anne, who was a little stiff.
"You... aren't you worried that I will convey your words to the Lord?"
Behind Anvis, Annie pursed her slightly open lips and spoke unwillingly.
"What do you mean? Those rumors about the Lord? Reminding you to be careful? Or my loyalty to the Lord? Please do as you please--"
In the reflection of the half-elf maid's gem-like light green eyes, Avis's back gradually walked away.
"Also, I don't care whether you trust me or not, Miss Anne. But as the head maid of the lord's mansion, you need to think more before doing things, instead of just acting on impulse.
Before you act rashly next time, at least consider how the Lord would feel if you died inexplicably." . ….….Returning to her room, Anne felt a little frustrated.
Not only did he fail to keep Avis alert at all times, but he was taught a lesson by the other party instead.
But what she didn't expect was that this was not the end.
That night, when she was helping Fiona to bed, the girl blinked her big lake blue eyes and suddenly asked her a question.
"Annie, I heard from Lord Boley that you went to see him today?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It is true, miss..."
Anne was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable. Before she had the chance to report it, Boli actually dared to take the initiative to tell Fiona about this?
"So, what did he tell you?"
"Lord Boli..."
Helpless, Annie had to repeat what Anvis said to her.
"Well...I understand."
What she didn't expect was that after hearing what she said about Avis' words, which sounded a bit outrageous to her, Fiona didn't get angry, but showed a thoughtful expression.
"This is for you, Annie."
Thinking that her personal maid seemed to lack the ability to protect herself, Fiona searched in the ring and found a silver-white magic ring inlaid with a dream gem.
"This ring can call for support from the eighth-order beings in the dream world, and it can also allow you to escape through the dream level in an emergency."
It was a magical artifact she created with the help of the dream fairy Margaretto.
At present, the land of inheritance has been completely integrated with the dream world of "Fiona's Adventures in Wonderland", and Margaretto has also become a book spirit-like existence.
Possessing the highest authority in this world, the powerful dream beings in the book can use the authority of the dream world to instantly descend to the coordinates of the main material plane where the ring is located.
It will obey the orders of the ring wearer, but can only move within a certain range with the ring as the center. It can also use the power of dreams to pull the wearer and people designated by the wearer nearby into the dream world, provided that the other party does not resist.
"This... I can't accept it, Miss! This should be a life-saving item given to you by your family."
Holding this extremely precious ring, Anne just felt a little messy.
She relayed to Fiona what Boley had said, which was obviously full of hidden intentions. Why did the lady focus on her needing to be careful? "I still have a lot of these rings, Annie. You are now the head maid, you must protect yourself."
Fiona casually took out a few more, leaving Anne completely speechless.
"Okay, that's it, good night--"
