Chapter 181 Sisi!
After saying goodbye to Pat, Gervis went straight to the castle. He happened to meet a maid at the corner and stopped her immediately: "Do you know where Alice is? Take me to find her!"
"My dear lord, if you want to see the Earl, you need to go to find Housekeeper Lina. I can't take you to see the Earl!"
The maid was stopped by Gervis. She was quite enthusiastic at first, but when Gervis directly called out the Earl's name and didn't even know where the Earl was, she looked a little wary and rejected Gervis's request.
"My name is Gervis, and I'm Alice's husband!"
Gervis was a little helpless. As the husband of the Earl, probably few people in Rose Castle knew what he looked like, which really made him feel uncomfortable.
"Ah! I'm sorry, sir! I deserve to die. Please forgive me! I didn't know you were Lord Gervis..."
When Gervis revealed his identity, the maid was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground. Of course they knew the Earl's husband, but they had never seen his face. If the man in front of them was really the Earl's husband, then if he wanted to punish her, it would only be a matter of words. She could not help but be afraid.
"Okay, get up! Now you can take me to find Alice!"
Gervis didn't have time to waste here with this little maid. Gervis felt a little uncomfortable in his head, as if the colorful hat was about to be put off, so he urged the maid to lead the way to find Alice.
"Yes, sir!"
It was lucky for Gervis because the maid had just cleaned up the tableware that Alice had used to eat the monster meat in her study, so she knew where Alice was. If it were any other servant, they would not be able to know Alice's location in real time.
Soon, Gervis followed the maid to the third floor of the castle. After walking down a corridor, he heard some noise around the corner. He looked over and saw that it was Alice!
"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Alice by myself!"
"Yes, sir!"
The maid also saw the Earl in front of her, and after hearing Gervis's instructions, she immediately retreated.
After the maid left, Gervis did not rush forward, because Alice was not alone at the moment. There was a young man in front of her who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a handsome appearance. Gervis guessed that this should be the man named Kevin Trash.
"Alice, please forgive me. Don't you understand how I feel about you?"
Thanks to his super hearing and the quiet environment, Gervis could hear Alice and Kevin's conversation even though he was dozens of meters away.
"Kevin, I told you, I already have a husband, I hope you won't bother me anymore. If you're just here to visit and attend my birthday party, I'd welcome you very much, but if you continue to be unreasonable like this, please leave Rose Castle immediately. I don't want to see you again!"
"Are you talking about that pretty boy named Gervis? I know you had to marry him. I don't mind. As long as you divorce him, I will marry you!"
As he spoke, Kevin knelt on one knee on the ground and held the rose in his hand in front of Alice.
…
"Damn it, you actually dared to call me a gigolo and even tried to put a hat on me in front of me. Do you think I'm made of clay?"
After hearing Kevin's words and trying to poach his girlfriend right in front of him, Gervis finally couldn't stand it anymore. He originally wanted to hear more information before taking action, but now he felt that there was no need to wait.
"Alice, you're here! I haven't seen you for a long time. Did you miss me?"
At this moment, Gervis didn't care about Alice's reaction. When he was about to walk in front of Alice and Kevin, he just made his opening remarks.
"Hey! Sisi, did this servant do something wrong? Do you want my help? I am a first-rate whipper. One lash will definitely destroy everything!"
“…”
Alice's entire attention had just been on the annoying Kevin in front of her, and besides, except for a few maids and Lina, no one could go up to the third floor of Rose Castle without asking for permission. She was so shocked by Gervis' words that she couldn't react for a moment.
"Who is he? Sisi? Is he calling me? What is that name?"
"Sisi, aren't you surprised? You said you wanted to see me earlier, so I rushed over from Storm Territory, but it took me several days!"
Seeing that Alice was still in a daze, Gervis probably didn't know her identity yet, so he immediately added another sentence. Moreover, Gervis saw that Kevin, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, had a face as red as a monkey's butt, and he was probably very angry, so this sentence was also to continue to attack Kevin.
After hearing the word "Storm Territory", Alice finally reacted. She looked at Gervis carefully for a few times and saw a hint of familiarity. Then she recognized that the man in front of her was her cheap husband Gervis. She was about to speak, but was beaten to the punch by Kevin.
"Who are you?"
Kevin's face turned red, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Finally, he couldn't help it. He threw the flowers aside, stood up from the ground, and asked Gervis with a grim look.
"Sisi, this servant is so rude. He deserves to be punished. He didn't even recognize the Earl's husband. He should be hanged and left exposed on the city wall for three days and three nights! And before he is hanged, I should whip him dozens of times."
"Are you the pretty boy? Gervis?"
Kevin saw that Gervis ignored his questions and even looked at him with disgust, as if a master was disgusted by his pet because it was so ugly and disobedient. Kevin finally got so angry that he asked again loudly.
"That's enough! Kevin, for the sake of our former classmates, I won't mind what you just said, but if you dare to be rude to Gervis again, don't blame me, Alice, for being merciless!"
Hearing Kevin calling Gervis like that again in front of her, Alice finally exploded. Although she and Gervis were only husband and wife in name, as she said on the night of their wedding, no matter what Gervis's previous identity was, since he was married to her, anyone who disrespected Gervis in the future would be disrespecting the Jones family.
This principle applies both inside and outside.
"Oh no! So I'm not a servant! Sorry! Sorry! My name is Gervis, Alice's husband. I don't know how to address you. If I'm not a servant, why did you kneel on the ground just now? This can easily give people misunderstandings. You'd better change this habit in the future!"
After Alice's stern rebuke, Gervis finally calmed down a lot. Although his cheap wife was not so kind to him, at least she knew how to unite against the outside world.
"You...just wait and see!"
Kevin couldn't stand being scolded by Alice and humiliated by Gervis any more, but Alice was there, and he knew Alice's temper best. Alice was a person who kept her word, so he could only look at Gervis with resentment, say some harsh words, and turn around and leave.
"How rude, Sisi, what kind of classmates are these? Are they nobles? They have no manners at all! Even my servant Johnny Slipper is more polite than him."
Seeing Kevin almost vomiting blood in anger, Gervis was overjoyed, as if the colorful hat had been knocked away by him, temporarily avoiding the fate of being labeled.
Kevin, who had only taken a few steps, staggered when he heard Gervis' last words. After he stood firm, his whole body trembled and he clenched his fists tighter. However, he did not turn around, but quickened his pace and walked down the stairs.
"You'll make him hate you!"
After Kevin left, when Gervis was feeling happy that his hat had been knocked off by him, Alice's voice came to his ears.
"Haha, hate him if you want! It's better than wearing a hat. Besides, he's not my neighbor, so what can he do if he hates me!"
To be honest, I'm not really afraid of being hated by that rubbish Kevin Gervis. How could he fly over from thousands of miles away to bite me? Besides, I'm not like when I just arrived at the territory. I don't have any force or soldiers!
For a moment, the corridor fell silent. Although the two were nominally husband and wife, they were actually just strangers who had met for the second time. For a moment, they didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"I think we need to talk..."
"I think we need to talk..."
After a moment's silence, Gervis just opened his mouth and was about to talk to Alice about the colorful hats, but Alice also said at the same time that she had something to talk to Gervis about. The two people's conversations collided and finally stopped.
"Come in and sit down!"
After taking a closer look at her so-called husband, Alice opened the door beside her, said something to him, and then walked in on her own.
