Seeing Lei Te coming, the two maids closest to him blinked their watery eyes and greeted him:

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Good afternoon, sir, would you like something to drink?"

"No need, just focus on decorating the venue." Leiter waved his hand, looked around the hall, and paused for two seconds on Shar. He said to everyone without changing his expression, "Everyone has worked hard. If you are hungry, you can eat something to replenish your energy. If you are tired, take a rest. Today is a festive day, and no one should be too tired."

"Thank you, sir."

"Master is very kind and generous."

"Yes, Master is very considerate."

“…”

Hearing that Rhett was thinking about them, the male and female servants immediately gave him heartfelt praises.

"Of course, the master is the greatest man in the world."

Sveta's voice came from the other side of the corridor. When she finished the second half of the sentence, she walked hurriedly to the hall, wearing a brand new and clean dress, exuding a fresh scent.

"Oh, Sveta, you bathe too fast. I thought it would take at least ten minutes." Rhett looked at Sveta and smiled.

"Master Ruilai has introduced a new alchemical bathing device, which he says is a new invention that makes bathing much more convenient for ordinary people like us. With just one button, water falls from the sky, just like taking a bath in the rain. It feels great." Sveta replied with a smile.

Suddenly, Sveta noticed Shar, who had his back to Leiter, and was startled. A trace of anger appeared between his eyebrows, and he rebuked:

"Sha'er, did you have your back to the master just now? Do you know that this is extremely impolite? The master is about to become a king, and you can be expelled directly for such a low-level mistake!"

"I, I, I'm sorry." Shar's face turned red like an apple, and he replied in embarrassment and annoyance. However, after being scolded like this, his whole spirit tensed up, and his attention was completely diverted. His 'good brother' actually relaxed...

He dared to turn around and confessed: "Master, I was wrong."

At this moment, Leiter looked at Shar with a straight face and said calmly, "Well... the mistake you made today was indeed a bit low-level. I will punish you by making you eat black bread for a week!"

"Thank you for your tolerance, sir!" Shar felt relieved when he heard the content of the punishment. Just eating black bread for a week was a pretty good consequence...

"Hmph, the master's mercy is not a reason for you to make mistakes. I don't want to see you make such a disrespectful mistake a second time!" Sveta, contrary to her usual attitude, said to Shar in an extremely cold voice.

Shar, who had extremely sharp hearing, seemed to hear the change in the butler's tone. He shuddered all over and realized how foolish his actions just now were. His heart fell to the bottom.

"Okay, Sveta, come out with me."

Rhett shifted his gaze away from Shar, suppressed his laughter, coughed twice, and shouted at Sveta.

Sveta's expression instantly changed to one of respect: "Yes, sir!"

The two of them came one after the other to the outside of the castle, under a huge phoenix tree.

The shadow is like an umbrella, bringing a cool place.

"Master, Shar is so rude. He was so disrespectful to you just now. I'm wondering whether I should take him with me when we establish a country in the future..." Sveta stood behind Rhett, looked at his back, sighed and said.

Leiter turned around, laughed and shook his head: "Sveta, the situation just now is actually a bit special, don't be too harsh..."

"Special? Please give me some instructions, sir." Sveta looked puzzled. He was just an ordinary person, an elderly man at that. His attention was mainly on the master just now, and he really didn't notice the "special" changes.

Rhett said "please" twice, lowered his voice, and told him what he had just discovered.

When Sveta learned the truth, she was stunned. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Shaer is really... too young..."

Perhaps it was because Sveta's prime years had passed, and she hadn't experienced the feeling of vigor and vitality for a long time, so she didn't associate it with that aspect at first, but now she could only sigh with emotion.

"Alas, this was due to my negligence. I didn't pay attention to such problems in time." Sveta thought for a while and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

This time, Lei Te was silent for a moment, and instead of comforting him immediately, he said:

"Well... if we look at the big picture from the small, this example actually reflects many problems that cannot be ignored. The reason I asked you to come here is also related to this."

Sveta looked extremely serious. She put her right hand on her chest and said in a heavy voice, "Master, please speak."

Leiter stared at Sveta's face, turned around slowly, and his calm voice rang out under the mottled shadows of the leaves: "The Green family will occupy the most extensive and central area of ​​the entire continent from a corner, which represents extraordinary significance."

"We as a whole will occupy the throne, enjoy a lofty status, and become more sacred and solemn. The status, identity, wealth, etc. of each follower will also be greatly improved compared to now."

"But at the same time, everyone's words and deeds will be under the magnifying glass and will affect the image of the Green royal family."

"On the surface, this only requires us to be more rigorous and pay more attention to our words and deeds in the future. This is true, but in fact, it requires superiors and managers to give full play to the art of management."

"Because it is certain that the manpower required by Green Palace is undoubtedly several times more than that of Green Manor today. Among them, the guards, servants, etc., are of both sexes, old and young, tall and short, fat and thin. Any group of people has various potential problems. Whether they are exposed or not is just a matter of probability and time."

"In the past, we didn't have to worry too much about it, but with the increase in manpower, even the smallest probability is more likely to occur. Only when managers are aware of the characteristics of each group of people and know their strengths and weaknesses can they manage the group more conveniently."

Sveta fell into deep thought, and unconsciously lowered her head to look at the ground, recalling every word the master had just said in her mind, which was so thought-provoking.

Lei Te cleared his throat and continued, "Just like the example just now, Shar's restlessness reflects the physiological needs of these young boys and girls. Well... as long as they are normal 'living things', they cannot avoid it, and there is no need to avoid it."

"It is better to guide than to block. Anyone can issue a prohibition order. Managers who only know how to prohibit are showing their incompetence. Only reasonable guidance can reflect the wisdom of management." Rhett said meaningfully, turning around and looking at Sveta again.

"The wisdom of management..." Sveta murmured these words, looking a little dazed.

A gust of wind blew, and the branches of the phoenix tree rustled and danced. Sveta's hat was almost blown away by the wind, but he held it down in time, looked at the master with a look of extreme admiration, and bowed deeply. "The master's words are like a revelation, which made me understand many truths, as if my past life experiences were sublimated all of a sudden - the word management requires both control and reason. If either is lacking, problems will arise."

Hearing the final summary, Lei Te's eyes were also extremely gratified. "Just a few words have given me such insights. Sveta, you are still an excellent housekeeper with extraordinary talents. I believe that you will also be my right-hand man in the palace."

"At this age, what talent do you still have?"

Sveta smiled self-deprecatingly and suddenly fell silent.

His eyes were somewhat complicated, he looked at the master with emotion, his eyes were slightly moist, and his lips moved as he said:

"Master, it is my honor to follow you in this life. Your brilliance makes my life extremely bright, and I have a destiny that countless people can only ask for. However... I am just an ordinary old man. Please forgive me for refusing to continue to be your chief steward. A kingdom is countless times more complicated than a Dark Eagle City. Please forgive me for my lack of talent and knowledge, and it is difficult for me to take on this important task."

"As long as the master is willing to let me water the flowers and sweep the floor, I will be satisfied..."

"Sveta..." Rhett's expression was moved, his eyelids moved, and he stared at his good housekeeper.

After a long while, Lei Te let out a long breath and said in a serious tone: "You don't need to say anything more now. I will never abandon you. You will always be my good steward..."

"Master, but..." Sveta was deeply moved and her eyes turned red.

"No buts. Let's go back and prepare for the dinner. We should cherish our last moments in Deep Rock Castle." Rhett waved his hand calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a handful of quicksand and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sveta watched the quicksand quickly disappear into the distance, her face seemed to age in an instant, she silently glanced at the old tree beside her, then turned around and walked slowly towards Deep Rock Castle.

"Butler Sveta, what's wrong with you?"

Rachel, who had just finished trimming the flower beds outside, came along the side path and looked at the lonely Sveta and said in surprise.

"No, nothing."

Sveta, who had been distracted the whole time, almost didn't realize someone was coming. She quickly came to her senses, took a deep breath, and looked up and down at Rachel, who was wearing a green gardener maid outfit with a knee-length skirt. She suddenly asked, "Rachel, you don't have a partner yet, right?"

"Ah, ah?" Rachel's cheeks turned red because of the question that was not asked. She stared at Sveta with wide eyes and covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, Mr. Sveta, why are you asking this? The age difference between us is too big, it's totally inappropriate. And if Cook Maru hears it, she will definitely be unhappy!"

"Well, you may be thinking too much." Sveta waved her hands quickly, looked towards the castle guiltily, recalled the master's instructions just now, and quickly explained: "Don't think wrongly, I just want to understand your relationship status. The master's advice just now made me suddenly enlightened. I was thinking whether to hold a social gathering for male and female servants? Of course, the premise is that you don't have a lover yet."

"What? A social gathering! That sounds great!" Rachel's face was filled with smiles, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she said, "I'll tell you a secret, Housekeeper Sveta, actually, Otto, the son of carpenter Kudin, and Scarlett have been having some romance in recent months! And Leo and Debbie, I've seen them flirting with each other while they were working..."

Rachel was talking nonstop as she shared some gossip with great excitement. Sveta listened with a smile, stroked his beard, and sighed:

"It seems that I have not been doing a good job in the aspect of 'reasoning' all along. There are so many interesting things in the castle that I don't know about."

"I need to get closer to the servants from now on and understand their situations thoroughly. Otherwise, as the master said, more and more problems will be exposed..."

Rachel's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She really wanted to know what the master had said, but she shouldn't say too much. She could only follow the previous topic and said, "Hey, Housekeeper Sveta, when are you going to hold the social gathering? I'm wondering if I should buy a beautiful dress for it..."

"Oh? It seems like you also have a man you like." Sveta said with a smile.

"Yeah, but I can't tell you yet." Rachel raised her chin and said shyly.

"It seems that he is still unclear about your feelings. Go for it bravely. I will suggest to the master that servants who are getting married can have a pleasant vacation."

"This is such a surprise, but I think we are still a long way from that step." Rachel's eyes sparkled, but she gradually showed a trace of regret. Then she looked at the decoration on Sveta's chest and suddenly smiled slyly. "When will you and Madam Malu reach that step? Let me tell you a secret. In fact, everyone is very curious about your progress. Some people are even betting on when you will get married!"

"Oh my God, you guys!" Sveta felt her cheeks getting hot for the first time in a long time. Her whole body tensed up, and the soles of her feet seemed to be equipped with pulleys. She couldn't help but quickly slide away.

As he left, he kept muttering, "You are so rude. How can you say these things in private..."

After leaving Green Manor, Rhett went to the outskirts of Dark Eagle City and strolled along a quiet and secluded path.

Looking at the windmill sign next to the cream-colored fence, Rhett felt upset for some reason.

He folded his hands across his chest, looked up at the sky from time to time, then looked at the grass and dust on the ground, and let out a long sigh.

"well"

Why do people grow old? Why can't ordinary people extend their lifespan through cultivation?

The people around him will gradually grow old. This problem has always existed in Rhett's mind, but he has always been reluctant to mention it in his subconscious.

But today, when thinking about establishing the Green Kingdom and managing the affairs of the royal palace, it is inevitable and cannot be postponed to face the question of where Sveta will go.

Can an ordinary elderly man really handle all the chores in such a huge palace?
