The maid has no shortcomings in her professional skills.
The posture when pouring tea and water, the tone of asking Ronald's needs, and even the actions of standing in the room...
According to Ronald's understanding, they absolutely meet the etiquette requirements of this world.
But other than that.
Other things seem relatively boring.
Although she would not ignore any of Ronald's questions, the maid would not do anything extra other than basic services. She stayed quietly in the room and just stared at Ronald, as if to guard against what Ronald might do.
Like doing something outrageous.
"..."
Patricia's maid looked at her like this.
Ronald can probably guess the other party's psychological activities.
So while drinking the tea in front of him, he simply looked around at the room he was in leisurely.
I learned this based on the maid’s explanation.
This is Patricia's reception room.
There are two sofas in a space of about 40 square meters, with a low table in the middle for tea. In addition, this living room only has two potted plants placed near the window, and there is no decoration.
sexual items.
Simple, clean and rustic.
The first impression given by Patricia is quite similar.
Looking through the open window, Ronald could vaguely hear the sound of weapons clashing downstairs. That was probably the arena that Patricia just mentioned, a private training place belonging to the Nicklaus family.
.
Listening to the voice, Ronald asked thoughtfully:
"As for Patricia, does she usually train?"
The maid had a proud look on her face:
"certainly!"
"Miss, she is our strongest swordsman!"
"She usually doesn't have social activities or study courses. She spends almost half of her time honing her sword skills. This kind of effort is not comparable to those who are content with the status quo!"
Seeing the maid's proud look and tone, Ronald naturally smiled and nodded:
"As expected of her..."
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Among the various people Ronald has met since his time travel, if we don’t talk about other aspects, let’s just talk about combat skills.
Patricia should be the strongest one.
That kind of lightning-fast fighting method and perfect swordsmanship are definitely not something that an ordinary person can handle after gaining the ability to cast spells.
In this atmosphere of one or two conversations every once in a while.
Twenty minutes passed and Ronald also heard footsteps coming from outside the living room.
Soon, Patricia opened the door and walked in.
"Ronald, I kept you waiting."
"..."
What should I say...
Among the various girls that Ronald had met, it took twenty minutes to take a shower and change clothes, and then they could appear in front of him.
Patricia is definitely the first.
But even though the matter was done in such a hurry, the girl in front of him could not see any haste or flaw in appearance.
Her platinum hair is still tied back.
But the clothes she was wearing had been changed into a loose long skirt.
After saying hello and sitting on the sofa opposite Ronald, Patricia waved to the maid:
"Marita, you should go out first."
"Remember to tell the rest of the family not to disturb me or my friends."
"Yes, miss."
With one final glance at Ronald, the maid left the waiting room and gently closed the door.
Wait until there are only two of you and Ronald in the house.
Patricia then said apologetically:
"Ronald, I know the character of Frey's child very well, and I can probably guess what he did. As the child's sister, I am really sorry."
"It's nothing." Ronald smiled and shook his head, indicating that Patricia didn't need to care about this matter. "That's what young boys are like, not to mention you are his beloved sister."
"Um……"
Looking at Ronald's serious reply, Patricia nodded slightly, and then asked curiously:
"But I actually still have a lot of questions about what happened before."
"If it's convenient, could you tell me?"
Ronald replied generously:
"Things are actually a little complicated."
"The beginning of everything must start with the incident in Burrenwich..."
Next, Ronald told Patricia what happened.
Except for some potentially dangerous information and Heloise's complicated identity background, he basically didn't deliberately hide anything.
And when Patricia heard the news that the original code holder died.
This swordsman with superb swordsmanship could not help but express a hint of emotion.
"The matter actually has such a follow-up..."
"Ronald, you have been through a lot."
Ronald smiled bitterly and shrugged, and the expression on his face gradually became serious:
"Honestly."
"At the beginning, I didn't expect these things to happen."
"And regarding the [Nine Rings Secret Society], I also have a very confusing question."
Patricia took a sip of tea and quickly realized a contradiction in the whole thing:
"Are you talking about the first time you received the invitation?"
"That's right." Confirming Patricia's guess, Ronald continued, "If everyone in this organization worked together, I shouldn't have received that coded letter in the first place."
"So I doubt there are some contradictions within this organization."
"..."
Listening to Ronald's words, Patricia also frowned.
But after she gently put down the tea cup in her hand, the girl started to comfort Ronald:
"Ronald, I think you might want to stop thinking about it."
"[Nine Rings Secret Society] is a big organization after all. Their invitations are prone to loopholes. You may just meet it."
"..."
"Thanks for the comfort."
Of course Ronald also saw what Patricia meant.
After nodding his thanks, he continued to answer seriously::
"I have thought about what you said, but after all, he is a dangerous opponent, so it would be more appropriate for me to deal with him seriously."
Patricia replied in agreement:
"Too."
"It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution."
Bang bang bang——
Just as the two were exchanging polite words, the door of the reception room was knocked politely three times.
Immediately, the maid who had left before asked outside the door:
"Miss, dinner is ready."
"Would you like to come down to dine?"
"..."
"You go down first, we will be here soon!" Hearing the call outside the door, Patricia immediately got up from the sofa, and then made a gesture that Ronald had never seen before, but it was obviously an invitation.
"Ronald, do you mind having dinner with me?"
Ronald stood up with the same smile, and then responded:
