The next morning, the warm sunshine fell from the window, and Vivian's eyelashes trembled slightly as she was about to wake up.
The sleep she slept last night was sweeter than ever before, the soft feeling under her body, and the faint fragrance in the room were something she had never experienced before, having only lived in dark and damp shacks.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Vivian realized something and quickly opened her eyes. She actually forgot that this was the lord's bedroom.
Sitting up quickly, Vivian found that she was covered with a brand new wool blanket. She quickly opened the blanket and looked at her clothes.
The clothes were all as usual, and then Vivian breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Vivian's eyes became darker again. She was the daughter of misfortune. The lord had washed her and brought her to the bedroom, but there was nothing...
That means the Lord's words last night must also be false.
Vivian was not actually afraid of death, she was just worried about her twelve-year-old sister.
She recalled that after being abandoned by her cruel father, she followed her to pick wild vegetables and fruits to eat, but she never cried because she was hungry. Instead, she was always sensible and pretended to laugh and make her happy.
"Little sister! It's my sister who is sorry for you! You must live well!"
Vivian prayed silently in her heart, if the gods hate her, then let all bad luck befall her, and please let her sister live happily!
"you're awake!"
Just when Vivian didn't know that she should walk out of the bedroom directly and was still waiting, a soft voice came from the door of the bedroom, it was the handsome and kind lord.
"Lead...Lord!" Vivian hurriedly got off the sofa and knelt on the ground with bare feet.
"Get up!" Nalant ordered softly, and then said: "Vivian, look who is here!"
"elder sister!"
Just when Vivian was confused, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
"Lilia!"
Looking up, a girl wearing a brand new maid uniform was standing at the door of the bedroom. It was her sister Lilia.
Vivian suddenly showed an expression of surprise. She thought she would never see her sister again.
"Sister, the lord told me to come to the castle as a maid in the future! He said he would give me a salary of ten copper coins a day!"
"What? Make you a maid?"
Vivian was in disbelief when she heard this. Castle maid was a very noble profession. How could a relative of the Lady of Misfortune become a castle maid?
Vivian couldn't help but look at Nalant.
Nalant smiled and nodded: "In the future, you will be my guard captain, and your sister will become the maid of the castle. I think this way you can serve me with more peace of mind! Vivian, are you willing?"
"I...I am willing, thank you Lord..."
Vivian's eyes were slightly red, and she finally knew that what the lord said last night was true.
"But Lord, I...I don't know how to fight!"
Not to mention the captain of the guard, even the ordinary guard needs a strong and powerful figure, and Wei Wei'an has no confidence.
"Ding! System side mission: Help the lucky girl Vivian understand her own abilities!"
"System reward: information about the second elf!"
"Huh? Is there such an operation?"
The system actually released the task again.
However, this line task is considered a gift to Nalant, after all, he originally wanted Vivian to show off her abilities.
But he didn't expect to get information about the second elf, which made Nalant overjoyed.
"Vivian, you don't have to worry about this. You will know what you are capable of later! Let's go. The servants in the castle have already served dinner. Go and eat quickly. After that, I will officially appoint you as the captain of the guard.
!”
"Yes, Lord Lord!" Vivian replied nervously.
Then Nalant took Weiwei to the first floor and handed them over to steward Thomas.
In this world, civilians cannot sit at the nobles' long table in the castle restaurant, otherwise they will be hanged for contempt of the nobles, and the nobles must also keep this rule in mind.
Sitting alone on a six-meter-long table, Nalant was eating what was considered the most sumptuous breakfast in the Storm Territory, a piece of white bread and a piece of grilled bacon. Just when he was about to finish eating, the castle valet came with
Captain Quick came to the restaurant.
"Is the matter done?"
Nalant looked at Quick, first took the white towel handed by the servant and wiped his hands, and then spoke slowly.
"Yes, sir, I have brought you the ten young serfs you need. Four of them have been hunters, and the others are also the strongest young men in the territory!"
"Very good!" Nalant nodded.
These ten young serfs were Nalant's candidates for forming the second guard team.
Nalant ordered Quick to organize a second guard team on the first day he came to the territory, in order to suppress Anthony.
After all, Anthony also has five guards. He needs to form a team of twenty people to effectively suppress Anthony.
After saying that, Nalant picked up an exquisite mask beside the long table and left the restaurant.
Arriving at the vestibule of the castle, Vivian had already finished breakfast and was watching Thomas teach Lilia how to become a qualified maid.
"Lord Lord!"
Vivian, who originally had a faint smile on her lips, immediately stopped her smile when she saw Nalant coming out, and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Get up, Vivian! Put on this mask! From now on, except inside the castle, when you go outside the castle, wear this mask!"
This mask was found in the warehouse of the castle and was used by the nobles when they held dances.
This castle has experienced four barons and nobles, and they all finally collapsed here, leaving behind many trivial objects.
No one thought about these not-so-valuable things. After all, everyone was worried that the objects in the castle would be contaminated with bad luck. In the end, it happened to be cheaper for Narant.
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Vivian also knew that if she walked out of the castle, she would definitely scare everyone who knew her, so she took the mask and put it on her face obediently.
"Hiss, no wonder the nobles like this tune!"
When Vivian put on the mask, Nalant was shocked.
The mask is very delicate and only covers the area around the eyes. It is made of hollowed-out copper sheets.
The hollow pattern of the mask is beautiful. Not only is it not stuffy when worn, but it looks extremely luxurious. Coupled with Vivian's fair skin, which is rare among serfs, it is graceful and a little wild. This is a combination of temptation and
The image of walking between dignity and dignity plays with the heartbeat...
…
"I've met the lord!"
Outside the castle, ten young men in rags, aged eighteen or nineteen, knelt on the ground and shouted greetings.
You can see the uncontrollable joy on their faces.
Being the direct guard of the lord can be said to be the most prestigious profession in the territory. Not only does it have rich rewards and high status, but it can also be followed by the lord.
To be selected by Quick was as lucky to them as winning the lottery jackpot in their previous life.
"Do you all know what you are going to do?"
"Got it! Lord Lord!"
"Very good! Then I declare that from now on you will officially become my subordinates, Nalant Beric, and the guards of the Storm Territory!"
"Thank you, Lord! I will swear to serve you to the death!"
Hearing Nalant's words, all the young people instantly became excited and used all their strength to swear an oath of allegiance.
From this moment on, they swore allegiance to Nalant, which meant that they had the qualifications to break away from their status as serfs.
If they are lucky enough, have enough military exploits, and are strong enough, they will have the opportunity to become civilians and even be rewarded with a piece of farmland.
Although not many of a hundred people can achieve this, at least they have something to look forward to, which is why the guards under the little nobles are so loyal.
"Very good, then let's meet your captain!"
"Vivian! Come here!"
Wow!
When Nalant finished speaking, everyone at the gate of the castle was in an uproar.
Not to mention the young serfs, even the guards like Quik looked like they had seen a ghost.
