Chapter 53 Bold Ideas
Thomas was very embarrassed because the matter was urgent so he came to the door and started reporting before he even looked inside. The door of Gervis' bedroom was not closed. When he saw the situation inside the bedroom clearly, he didn't know what to do.
He was worried that if he continued to speak, he would disturb the Baron's interest, but the matter he needed to report was very urgent, so he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
However, although Thomas looked embarrassed and at a loss, he was shouting in his heart.
"Sure enough, my guess was right. Lord Gervis likes the service of maids. Otherwise, why did Lord Gervis always dress up before coming out when I was serving at the door? And today is the maid's first day of work, so Lord Gervis asked the maid to enter the room to serve. But why did Lord Gervis know that the maid would serve him today instead of me? Oh, maybe because I said yesterday that I would hire an extra maid, Lord Gervis understood the reason. What a wise lord!"
Thomas kept thinking about it in his mind, and put a check mark on his previous guess to indicate that it was correct.
Gervis held the little maid in his hands and looked at Thomas standing at the door. Although Thomas had an embarrassed expression on his face, Gervis clearly felt that Thomas' eyes were full of indescribable meanings. Gervis understood that the meaning was, Sir, you are really this kind of person...
"Ahem... Thomas, why is it the maid at the door today? I thought it was you."
Gervis was a little depressed, feeling that his perfect personality was about to collapse. He tried to explain a little to save the situation, although as a lord he did not need to explain any of his actions to his servants.
"Sir... well... because things in the castle are quite busy, you will need Anna to serve you from now on. She will be your personal maid and stay by your side to serve you. Anna can also read, so it will be convenient for you to use her."
"You can pretend if you want." Thomas thought that his master was just trying to show off, but as Gervis's loyal butler, Thomas was still prepared to take the blame on himself, and if the Earl blamed him in the future, he would bear the consequences.
"So that's how it is. What did you want to report just now?" Gervis looked at Thomas, who had a look of disbelief on his face. He felt like mud had fallen into his crotch, and he immediately changed the subject.
After hearing Gervis' question, Thomas realized that he had something urgent to report.
"Sir, villagers from the village near the Dark Forest have come to report that the white wolf that invaded their village has appeared again."
"The White Wolf has appeared?" Gervis was shocked. Why did it appear at this time instead of earlier? His whole body ached, but in order to complete the task, he had to go ahead anyway.
Gervis didn't delay any longer and wanted to put on his clothes and rush to the village immediately. However, after taking two steps, Gervis felt sore, so he looked at the maid in front of him and said helplessly, "Help me put on my clothes!"
"Yes, my lord." Anna stood beside Gervis rather uncomfortably, and was very worried that the lord would tell the butler about how she had angered him, and then she would be kicked out of the castle.
Unexpectedly, the lord not only did not tell the butler, but was willing to let her serve and dress him. This showed that the lord had forgiven her. Anna finally felt relieved and immediately ran to the clothes rack to get clothes for Gervis.
It was just because she had knelt too hard and for too long, her knees were a little sore, but Anna didn't care about that. She endured the pain and helped Gervis get dressed and wash.
With the help of the maid, Gervis put on his clothes, chain mail and leather armor, and took the iron helmet that he had never worn before, then walked out of the room with strange steps.
"Thomas, go and inform Audry to bring four guards with me." Gervis's whole body ached and he walked very slowly, so he simply asked Thomas to go and gather the troops first. Being able to mobilize four people was already his limit at the moment. Two people needed to stay behind to guard the castle gate and one more person had to stay at the Elf Bug Courtyard.
"Sir, it was Audrey who was on duty who brought the villager to me just now. He has already taken the soldiers to prepare the horses."
"Okay, good." Gervis nodded. His subordinates were not stubborn and knew how to adapt, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Sir, would you like to have breakfast before leaving?" Thomas followed Gervis and asked from the side.
"No, I'm afraid if I delay for too long, something might go wrong. Just bring me a piece of bread later."
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, Gervis came to the vestibule with strange steps and swallowed the bread in his hand in no time.
In the vestibule, Audrey was already waiting for Gervis at the door with four guards, and Gervis's horse was also ready.
Gervis walked straight to his horse, endured the pain and stepped onto the saddle. After sitting on the horse, Gervis found that in addition to Thomas, there was another little tail following him, the maid who helped him get up. The little maid was a little at a loss when she saw Gervis riding on the horse.
"You stay in the castle. I'm going to fight now. You don't have to follow me." Gervis felt that the little maid should want to follow him. After all, she was a personal maid and would follow him instead of Thomas in the future. But he was going to fight now, so of course she couldn't follow him.
"Yes, sir."
"My Lord, I wish you a great victory!"
Then Gervis nodded to Thomas, pulled the reins to urge the horse, and rushed out of the castle gate with several of his men.
After Gervis rode out of the castle gate, Thomas turned around and looked at Anna beside him with a slightly complicated look.
"What a lucky little guy!" Thomas thought to himself.
He had just seen Gervis's strange walking posture, but as a butler, he did not ask Gervis with concern because he had a bold idea in his mind.
Gervase walked in a strange way, Anna also walked in a strange way, and when he arrived at Gervase's room, Gervase was only wearing a pair of underwear, with his hands on the shoulders of the tearful Anna to comfort her.
Anna had been on the third floor for more than an hour, and something unspeakable must have happened during this time. Thomas noticed the abnormality of Gervis and Anna, and what he had just seen, and he came up with a bold idea.
He did not see Anna kneeling down, nor did he know what happened. Combined with his previous speculation, it prompted him to continue to keep quiet and form a bold idea in his mind.
If Gervis knew what Thomas was thinking, he would definitely use the critical three-sword slash on Thomas, so that he would not be a good butler and would learn from those failed authors on Earth all day long and make up all kinds of nonsense in his mind.
