morning.

Castle of Pompeii.

This is a very ordinary day.

The maids were busy cleaning the castle, the butlers were busy moving things, and the guards were either standing guard or training.

Outside the castle, there was still some time before the busy autumn harvest, and the farmers basically stayed at home, occasionally going to the fields.

So the territory of Pompeii was generally peaceful.

This is a normal small country territory. It would be abnormal if it changes every day.

Pompeii Castle, inside Mary's room.

The specifications and size of the room are almost exactly the same as Luther's room, but the layout is much more girlish, with pink sheets, pink wardrobe, and pink dressing table.

Mary is very good at nagging, and sometimes she chatters on and on like an old lady, but she is actually still a girl at heart.

Mary got up a long time ago, but she ate too much for breakfast and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she took off her shoes and sat on her pink bed to rest.

With her are Lily, Pompeii.

Mary's best friend.

"Mary, why do you eat so much so early in the morning? Look, you've gained weight again." Lily stretched out her pink little hand and pinched Mary's face.

It feels soft like marshmallow.

"I just can't help it." Mary pouted, a little unhappy.

Lily isn’t the only one who says she’s gained weight recently, her mother even seems to dislike her.

"If a woman is too fat, she will not be liked by men. So for the sake of a better future, you have to endure it even if you can't help it." Lily said seriously, as if she was a boy killer.

Mary was a little flustered, but she still managed to say, "A beautiful and slim woman will certainly please men. But a woman with a generous dowry will also please men. My mother said that she will prepare a generous dowry for me."

"As long as your family is rich, you won't have to worry about getting married." Lily nodded heavily, and then sighed: "Being the daughter of a lord is good. Especially since Luther is so good at business, your future dowry will be very generous. My family is much worse. Although my father is very warm, he really can't manage the household. When he has money, he eats and drinks lavishly, and he also has to maintain weapons and so on. Alas, single men."

Mary thought Lily was sad, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Lily. When you get married in the future, I will ask Luther to prepare a dowry for you. After all, we both have the last name Pompeii."

Lily shook her head and said, "Although we have the same surname, our blood relationship is very distant. In this case, how could Luther prepare a dowry for me?"

Having said that, Lily was still a little excited.

Luther is a very kind and easy to talk to person, but sometimes I still can't help teasing him. I will be nicer to him in the future.

Trick him into preparing a dowry for me and finding a good husband.

It's really hilarious to see the two lolis sitting side by side discussing these things, but both of them are very serious and earnest.

Suddenly Lily remembered something and said to Mary, "Mary, I heard that Luther has been very depressed recently. Not only does he not eat breakfast, he even skips knight training."

"This is news from a few days ago." Mary shook her head and said, "I heard that Luther's girlfriend was taken away by a terrible monster. Luther didn't have the ability to save his girlfriend, so he hid in his room and cried."

Mary would not admit that this was just her guess, because she had never been to Luther's room to see him, so who knew if Luther had cried or not.

Because Mary thought that if her boyfriend was taken away by a powerful and terrible monster, she would definitely cry secretly.

So Luther must have cried.

This is the truth.

"Luther is crying?" Lily was stunned and found it hard to believe, although Luther was very kind and had a reputation as a "merciful person".

But he doesn't behave like a sissy in normal times. On the contrary, he trains very hard as a knight and makes himself as hard as King Kong. So Lily couldn't believe that Luther would cry.

“I cried.”

Mary felt a little guilty, but she made up her mind and spoke with great certainty.

"Oh, poor kid. No matter how strong Luther usually appears, he still cries when he encounters something like this. Actually, it's true when you think about it. Luther's girlfriend is so beautiful and gentle, but she was taken away by a monster. If it were me, I would cry too."

Lily said with emotion.

"Let's go and comfort Luther." Then Lily remembered her previous idea, that she should be nicer to Luther so as to trick him into giving her a dowry, so she said excitedly.

"Okay." Mary hesitated a little, but agreed.

The main reason is that Mary thinks that her relationship with Luther is just average, and Mary will not admit that Luther hates her nagging, so she has to pretend to hate Luther.

In fact, I can’t hate him at all, because Luther is a really nice guy.

So the two of them climbed out of bed, put on the same pink leather shoes, walked out of Mary's room and headed towards Luther's room.

Go for it.

On the way, the two little lolis met the big loli Maya.

"Hi, Maya."

“Maya.”

The one who said hi was Lily, she was a polite little girl. The one who didn't say hi was Mary, not because it was impolite, but because Mary had called little Maya that since she was a child.

"Ms. Mary, Miss Lily." Little Maya bent down and greeted them. Unlike Luther, she was very friendly to the two little girls.

Loli and the like, from an 80-year-old grandfather to an 8-year-old boy, they are all popular.

trump card!

"Are you two ladies going to look for Luther?" little Maya asked.

"Yes." Lily nodded, and then said: "I heard that he has been very depressed recently. Let's go visit him. Is he awake?"

"He's still sleeping. I got him some water, but he said he wanted to sleep for a while. He's so lazy." Little Maya pouted, with undisguised dissatisfaction on her face.

By the way, she raised her hands, in her left hand was a clean towel and in her right hand was a small bucket.

Being a personal maid is very hard work.

Seeing the disgust on Maya's face, Mary felt the same way and nodded heavily. Then she said, "Luther is too lazy. How can he inherit the name of Pompeii and become the next generation of Pompeii Knights? I have to tell Dad to train him well."

Lily was much smarter than Mary. She stretched out her short legs and kicked Mary, then smiled sweetly and said, "Maya, I heard that Luther lost his girlfriend. I think we should be more tolerant of him. It's okay to sleep in for a few days."

"That's true." Little Maya agreed after thinking about it, and then she thought of Miss Ruth and said sadly, "Miss Ruth is such a gentle person. It would be great if she could become the next generation of Mrs. Pompey."

Soon after, the two little lolis said goodbye to the big loli Maya and came to Luther's room together.
