Chapter 67 Anna's Understanding
Gervis just watched for a while in the vestibule and then stopped paying attention. He couldn't help at all here, so he might as well seize the time to practice. Now that Nashen and others have arrived, they are just waiting for Viscount Lanny to take action. Gervis also has to prepare for his first fight in this world.
Two days ago, Gervis had sent Audrey and another guard to keep watch there, and they would come back to report if there was any unusual movement.
By then, he and Nashen will become the main fighting force. In this world, the Titled Knights play a decisive role in a small-scale battle. As long as the number of soldiers does not reach a certain level, they cannot pose any threat to the Titled Knights.
If you want to rely on ordinary soldiers to deal with the title knight, the only way is to use a sneak attack, or rely on numbers to consume the title knight's fighting spirit. When the title knight's fighting spirit is exhausted, a few ordinary soldiers can kill him.
…
In front of a wooden house in the vestibule, a lot of sweat had already condensed on Anna's fair face. Although she had stood in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight, the high temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius made her sweat as soon as she walked out of the inner castle, which was warm in winter and cool in summer, no matter where she stood in the vestibule.
Although she was sweating profusely, Anna had no complaints. Instead, she was in high spirits, because in this castle, apart from the butler, she was the only one who could do these things for the adults. This made Anna feel very satisfied. She remembered a sentence that Doctor Brian had always taught her: If you want to gain recognition from others, you have to show your abilities.
Anna now really wants to gain the Lord's recognition, just like she did a few days ago when she helped Him count the population of Storm Territory and received His praise.
Anna found that she had fallen in love with this job as a personal maid. Since becoming the lord's personal maid, her family has been reborn. After taking the medicine that Yura's father helped buy, her mother's condition has gradually improved, and she will recover after recuperating for a period of time.
She also liked the atmosphere in the castle, the servants who were very friendly to her, the tolerant and kind butler Thomas, and most importantly, the handsome and mighty lord.
Whenever Anna thought of the scene where the lord rescued her from the horse, a blush would appear on her face.
"Hey, Anna, what are you thinking about? Your face is so red? Are you thinking about the handsome and mighty lord?"
At this moment, Anna was suddenly patted on the back, and then Yura's voice came from behind.
"Yula, what nonsense are you talking about? Be careful if the housekeeper hears you or you'll be scolded again."
Anna was lost in thought when she was startled by Yura's sudden question. Her cheeks, which were originally slightly shy, became even redder, as if she had done something shameful and was caught by Yura on the spot.
"Haha, Anna, I guessed it right, did you? Do you really want to be a Baroness? I'm rooting for you!" Yura was just teasing Anna, but seeing that her reaction was a little strange, he couldn't help but become suspicious and started laughing and joking.
"Be careful and don't say anything. I was just thinking about my mother. Why don't you go to work? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the housekeeper?"
Anna was a little unable to hold back. Although she felt even more ashamed in her heart, she deliberately put on a serious expression. She was now Gervis's personal maid, and everyone in the castle, whether guards or servants, respected her. Only her good friend Yura dared to joke around in front of her.
"It was the housekeeper who asked us to take a break, so I took this opportunity to bring you some water. Humph, who knew you were so heartless that you turned your face to me after becoming my personal maid!"
Like a magician, Yura took out a wooden cup from behind and handed it to Anna, pouting deliberately to express his grievance.
"Thank you, Yura. I know I was wrong. Don't be angry." Anna took the cup without hesitation, drank a few sips of water and continued, "But don't make jokes in the future. It would be bad if the butler heard it. The lord is the husband of the earl, and butler Thomas used to be a male servant in the earl's castle."
After working as a personal maid for a few days, Anna knew a few things about Gervis, such as that Gervis' wife was the Earl, and Thomas used to be a butler in Rose Castle.
Anna learned this news from Butler Thomas bit by bit, and it was all said by Butler Thomas himself.
Anna thought that there must be a reason why Butler Thomas told her such a secret thing, such as warning her not to do anything beyond her status, otherwise the Earl would be very angry and the consequences would be serious. Butler Thomas was the Earl's subordinate and would keep an eye on her and supervise her at all times.
If Thomas knew what Anna was thinking, he would surely be so depressed that he would vomit three liters of blood, because his original intention was to make Anna remember his kindness. It was he who risked angering the Earl and arranged for Anna to become Gervis's personal maid. Anna now had that kind of relationship with Gervis, and a few days ago Gervis even arranged for Anna to be in charge of counting the town's population. In Thomas's view, this was a sign that Anna was deeply favored by Gervis.
That's why Thomas revealed Gervis and his own situation intentionally or unintentionally. As long as Anna remembers his kindness, it would be an insurance for his position as butler in the future. For example, if one day in the future he accidentally makes Lord Gervis unhappy, there will be someone to plead for him. Although Thomas doesn't think he will make Gervis unhappy, more insurance means more peace of mind.
"Ah? Really? Then I won't dare to do it again. I almost hurt you, Anna. I'm sorry!"
When Yura heard about the relationship between Gervis and the Earl, he was shocked and terrified. To them, the Lord was already the most important person, not to mention the Earl. If he teased Anna casually and the Earl knew about it, Anna would definitely end up in a miserable state.
"Well, you don't need to talk about it anymore. The housekeeper seems to have started counting again. You should go quickly, or he will deduct your salary!"
Seeing that Yura was scared, Anna felt relieved. Although her good friend was extroverted, she was very serious when facing important things. After this time, Yura would definitely not make such jokes again.
"Well, I'll go then!"
Seeing that Thomas was busy again, Yura did not dare to neglect him. He waved to Anna and ran towards Thomas.
