"Hey, what a coincidence? Shirley's mother is a cook!"
After Vivian helped Shirley away, Narant opened the population register.
Narant must guarantee that he will win the lucky girl under his control, and he is prepared to show kindness to Shirley's family members as usual.
What he didn't expect was that Shirley's mother was the only cook in the Storm Territory.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Sir, the guard reported that a female serf came outside the castle, claiming to be Shirley's mother. She knelt at the gate of the castle and asked to see you!" At this moment, Thomas's voice came from the door.
"You're here just in time!" Nalant was originally going to send someone to Doom Village, but he didn't expect her to come by herself. "Go and take her to the lobby on the first floor!"
After giving instructions to Thomas, Nalant also stood up and walked out of the study.
…
"Serf Rose has seen the lord!" Soon, Thomas led a woman in her thirties into the inner castle. Although the woman was wearing an old linen skirt, the linen skirt was cleanly starched. In poverty,
This was rare among serfs.
"Well! Get up!" Nalant nodded, "Thomas, bring a stool for her to sit on."
"Lord, Rose doesn't dare to sit down. I'm here to beg you to let Shirley go!" Nalant's kind gesture was beyond Rose's expectations, but she didn't dare to actually sit on the stool.
He quickly opened his mouth to express his intention.
Shirley has been suffering from an inexplicable fever since last night. Since there are no doctors or priests in the Storm Territory, Rose, a mother, can only take risks and go into the edge of the Fire Forest to pick herbs.
Unexpectedly, when she came back from picking herbs, she heard from the villagers that Shirley had become the daughter of misfortune and was taken back to the castle by the lord.
So, in panic, she hurried to the castle, knelt outside the gate and asked to see the lord.
"Lord, I know that with Shirley's current status, it is very presumptuous to make this request to you, but Lord, I only have one daughter, Shirley, and she is also my only hope of living... I am willing to pay ten coins for this.
Gold coins, and promise to take Shirley to the Fire Grassland in the future and never set foot in the principality again! I only ask that you accept my begging generously and kindly!"
"Huh? Ten gold coins?" Before Nalant had time to express his position, he was stunned after hearing Rose's words. Ten gold coins were a huge amount of wealth for a serf, but he didn't expect that Rose actually had it.
"Rose, where are you from?" Although he knew that Rose was a cook, it was impossible for a cook to earn such wealth. Narant was actually interested in Rose's past.
"Back to the lord, I used to open a tavern in Tulip City, called Rose's Tavern!"
"Rose Tavern in Tulip City?" Nalant's eyes widened, because at this time he found a relatively profound memory in the memory of the original owner.
A few years ago, the original owner was attending a noble college in Tulip City. Many of the noble children in the college liked to go to a place called Rose's Tavern to have dinner and drinks.
It is said that the cooks there are not only beautiful, but the dishes they cook are also very delicious. They also know how to cook Warcraft meat. Many minor nobles even extended invitations to the owner of Rose Tavern, but unfortunately they were all rejected.
Looking at Rose's appearance now, although she has hidden a lot of her beauty due to her deliberate dressing up, she is not as miraculous as those noble heirs said at the time, but she is indeed a beautiful woman.
Of course, as the good-for-nothing second son, Nalant had never been to Rose's Tavern, so he didn't recognize Rose before.
"You opened the Rose Tavern in the east of Tulip City?" Nalant confirmed again.
"Yes, Lord, sir, these are ten gold coins. Please let Shirley go. I swear to the gods that I will take Shirley to the Fire Grassland and will never return to the principality from now on!"
The Fire Steppe is not far from the Storm Territory, just across the baronage of Quint. However, the Fire Steppe is not a good place, and it is no less dangerous than the Fire Forest.
There are not only all kinds of magical beasts on the grassland, but also uncivilized grassland barbarians. There are no civilized human settlements on the Fiery Grassland, and it is almost considered a civilized restricted area.
And when the Lady of Misfortune goes there, she can't even see anyone, so naturally she can't talk about bringing bad luck to the people around her.
"No, Ms. Rose!" Looking at the sincere Rose, Nalant smiled and shook his head at her.
Rose's face turned pale, thinking that Nalant had rejected her plea.
At this moment, Nalant's words came again: "I won't burn Shirley to death, and I won't require you to leave the Storm Territory!"
"Ms. Rose, in the eyes of others, Shirley may bring bad luck, but as a lord favored by the God of Glory, I, Narant, think Shirley will bring me luck! So I will keep her here.
Inside the castle!”
"What?" Rose was stunned. She had never heard that the Daughter of Misfortune could bring luck.
But the young lord in front of her didn't look like he was teasing her. Rose said in disbelief: "Is this true? Lord!"
"Of course it's true, let's go, I'll take you to see Shirley!"
Nalant stood up directly and walked out of the hall with Rose.
…
"grown ups!"
Soon, Nalant took Rose to the maid's room. Vivian was still guarding Shirley in the room.
When Rose saw Shirley sleeping, she felt relieved when she found that there was nothing unusual about her. However, when she cast her eyes on Vivian, she was stunned again the next moment.
"Hello, Ms. Rose!" Vivian greeted her with a smile.
Vivian knew that she had been recognized because she was not wearing a mask now, and Rose had asked her to sew a dress before.
"Hello... Vivian! I didn't expect that you didn't..." At this moment, Rose finally believed the Lord's words. Maybe Shirley really didn't need to be sent to the stake. After all, the last one
The Lady of Misfortune, Vivian, was right in front of her, and she was wearing the costume of a castle maid.
"Thank you Lord for sparing Shirley!" Rose knelt down on the ground to express her gratitude to Nalant without any hesitation.
"Get up, Ms. Rose! This is a revelation from the God of Glory, and it is also what I, the lord, should do!" Nalant nodded with a smile, paused, and then continued: "Rose, although I can't
Kill Shirley, but she will only be able to live in the castle from now on and will not be able to reveal her identity outside for a long time..."
"Lord, Rose understands that as long as Shirley can live safely, I have no other extravagant hopes. I will say goodbye to Shirley and warn her to serve the lord well in the future!"
Rose naturally understood what Nalant meant. Just like Vivian, she made everyone think that Shirley was dead, so that Shirley was truly safe.
"No, Rose, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I didn't ask Shirley not to meet you. I have a better idea, and that is to appoint you as the chef of the castle, so that you can
You can meet Shirley every day without worrying about her identity being revealed!" Narant said with a smile, "Ms. Rose, what do you think?"
"Ah, to become the chef of the castle and meet Shirley every day?" Rose was overjoyed, tears of gratitude instantly burst into her eyes, "Thank you Lord, Rose is willing!"
