In the evening, the city of Alicante was covered with light snow. Snowflakes danced in the air and landed on the roofs and the ground with a hint of coolness.
The air grew a little colder. Jiang Jin sat in the office chair, flipping through an ancient book that described how the first lord of Alicante relied on his intelligence and talent to lead his subordinates in establishing the city.
The little guy Lucas was sitting on the ground not far from Jiang Jin. He also had a book in front of him and was flipping through it in a serious manner.
Although he may not understand it at all, it does not affect his good mood for learning.
Lucas looked at the strangely shaped black blobs of characters on the page, imagining them as delicious chicken legs, and flipped through the pages with increasing enthusiasm.
"The mayor who built the city of Alicante was really powerful. I can vaguely see through the ancient books that Alicante was once extremely prosperous. The Alicante at that time was incomparable to what it is now. I really want to meet that mayor." Jiang Jin closed the ancient book with great emotion.
Back then, the residents of Alicante not only built a huge statue for the first mayor, but also had an extremely grand festival called the Birthday of the Mayor, which was specifically to commemorate the day when he founded the city of Alicante.
It's a pity that the prosperous utopia built by the first city lord has become so dilapidated and desolate.
It was really a cruel thing in life. Jiang Jin sighed for a while, then turned around, looked at Lucas' raised butt, and patted it with a smile.
Little Lucas didn't react in time and fell forward, right on the page of the book. His saliva flowed all over the page, leaving a layer of black stains on his face.
"Huh?" Lucas was confused and was hugged by Jiang Jin, who had a smirk on her face.
At this moment, Daisy's voice came from outside the door, "Lord City Lord, everything is ready according to your instructions."
"Come on, I'll take you to a bubble bath and wash off the dragon smell on your body."
Jiang Jin stood up, and Lucas wrapped his tail around her arms to make it easier for her.
The City Lord's Mansion had a large bathing room with very simple conditions. It was empty on all sides, and apart from the arc-shaped brick bathing pool, there was nothing in it.
The only bright spot is that this bathing pool can be continuously heated by the fire next to it, so even in such cold weather, it can create a warm hot spring atmosphere.
Jiang Jin fell in love with this bathing pool on the first day she came to the City Lord's Mansion. After some renovation, it can now be considered a comfortable and beautiful room.
When she brought Lucas in, the maid who was cleaning the bathtub just went out.
The maid had a white silk scarf tied on her head, probably to protect her from dust. Her sleeves and skirt were tied up high, and she looked very serious.
However, this maid had a nice figure and looked like she had worked hard cleaning. Her skin was a delicate pink under the light and she was full of warmth.
She lowered her head and brushed past Jiang Jin, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.
What a familiar smell! Jiang Jin's nose twitched slightly as she turned her head to stare at the maid walking so fast. The fragrance rose and fell in her mind, and finally a figure of a person came into view. Jiang Jin suddenly realized, "It's her."
This Ivy maid had not appeared in front of Jiang Jin for a long time, so Jiang Jin had almost forgotten about her.
By the way, will this cowardly and spoiled maid take the initiative to clean the bathtub?
Jiang Jin raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to the bathtub where hot water was slowly flowing. Suddenly, she had a guess.
"That was a close call." Ivy turned and hid in a corner, patting her chest breathlessly. "I was almost discovered. Really, this city lord is in no hurry for anything, just eager to enjoy himself. Ugh."
She cursed under her breath, sniffed the fragrance on her body, unbuttoned her clothes and hair, hummed in the direction of the bathtub, pinched her waist and twisted her hips as she walked towards Brook's room.
"Bella, did you call the cleaning lady to come up to the room?" Jiang Jin put the little guy on the edge of the bathtub and let him play with the water with his hands.
Bella, who was concentrating on making a fire, was startled by the sound.
She has a shortcoming that cannot be called a shortcoming: she is unexpectedly focused no matter what she does.
Bella had just been conscientiously completing the fire-making task assigned by Jiang Jin, and didn't even notice Jiang Jin's arrival.
"Cleaning, maid?" Bella was a little confused. "Daisy and I cleaned it a long time ago. It's done."
This means that no one was called to clean it.
That's the case, for some reason, Jiang Jin was not surprised at all that Ivy could do such a thing.
Daisy, who was fetching water, happened to hear this. Her brows furrowed, and her mind worked much faster than Bella's. She immediately bit her lip and half-knelt on the ground, "It was Bella and I who were negligent! Please punish us, City Lord!"
Seeing Daisy's actions, even the slow-witted Bella finally reacted and knelt on the ground to apologize.
To be honest, Jiang Jin thought that she was not a very harsh person, but Bella and Daisy's sense of crisis was too weak, and the work they did could not make Jiang Jin completely satisfied.
"Tonight, you and Ivy will clean the grounds of the castle together."
Jiang Jin pondered for a long time and gave a punishment that was neither too big nor too small.
