The slender figure appeared quietly. When the other maids saw it, they immediately shut their mouths with obedient faces. Only the short-haired maid Barbara still looked ecstatic and continued to describe what she had done at the coronation ceremony.
experience.
Until she noticed that Beatrice had been winking at her, while the other maids were all looking behind her, their expressions looking extremely stiff. One of the maids was so nervous that she even knocked the bucket to the ground, but
Don't dare to move an inch.
"What happen to you guys?"
Barbara looked back subconsciously, and then she noticed the slender figure behind her.
The other party is also a maid. She has fair cheeks and exquisite makeup, and looks very sassy. Her cool temperament and capable short hair complement each other. She obviously looks more mature and stable than the maid who is also a short-haired maid.
"Ling, Ling, the maid!"
Feeling the vague sense of oppression coming from the visitor, Barbara's slender body also froze, and she hurriedly said: "Ms. Maid, please listen to the little woman's quibbles... No, please listen to the little woman's explanation. I'm waiting for you."
When I finish my work well, I never deliberately slack off or whisper to others."
After Barbara finished speaking, Beatrice and the other maids nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, obviously extremely wary of the visitor.
It's no wonder, who doesn't know that Maid Ling is the personal maid of His Highness the Holy Lion Prince? With a brave heart and a sharp sword, she has served His Highness through life and death, and has made great achievements in battle. She is the envy of the maids.
, and he is a senior who is in great awe, how can he not be respectful?
"You are the third daughter of the Jace family, your name is Barbara, right?"
A-ling put her hands on her hips and examined the short-haired maid in front of her. She said with all her family treasures: "Your father, Viscount Jess, as the deputy general of the Guards, fought three battles alone to protect His Majesty Lawrence in the Battle of Glow City not long ago.
A fallen knight, he was eventually seriously injured and fell into coma. He demonstrated the bravery and perseverance of the Grimm nobles through his actions. How is he now?"
"Back to the maid, my father has almost recovered with the blessing of several precious healing potions. I heard from His Majesty Lawrence who came to visit that the healing potions that saved the little girl's father were personally given by His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince.
Woolen cloth!"
A hint of gratitude suddenly appeared on Barbara's face, and she quickly responded: "This little girl will never forget the kindness bestowed by His Highness!"
"Then why are you still slacking off at the banquet that His Highness the Prince values so much? For a maid, this is our battlefield!"
A Ling frowned slightly, then looked at the long-haired maid on the other side and said: "And you, Beatrice, the second daughter of the Brown family, your father, Baron Brown, as the captain of the new Temple Guard Knights of the Temple of Light, is
The glowing city walls are on high alert, but you are here holding a mop and dancing happily!"
"I'm sorry, maid, I realized my mistake!"
After hearing Aling's scolding, Barbara, Beatrice and others immediately lowered their heads, looking like children who had made a mistake.
"That's all, leave this to me. You all go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. There happens to be a team of people missing there."
Looking at the aggrieved expressions of all the maids, Aling's frown quickly relaxed and she waved her hands gently.
"As you command, Master Maid!"
When she heard that she was asked to leave the banquet hall and help in the kitchen, although Barbara and others looked a little gloomy, they immediately accepted the order and left quickly at a trot.
"These young ladies really have no problem with etiquette, but they still need to continue to hone their work."
Watching the maids leave, Aling sighed softly, picked up the mop and began to clean up the water stains that had just been spilled.
"Ling, are you a little too harsh on them?"
A Bing, who was not far away, saw this and immediately rushed to help. He smiled and said: "After all, they were just a group of pampered noble ladies not long ago. It is really rare to be able to progress so fast."
"They did a good job indeed, but they are not outstanding enough. It would be fine if it were normal times, but this is a meeting that the lord values very seriously. He specifically told me to wait several times through reading words. How could I not wait?
Walking on thin ice?”
A Ling wiped away the water stains on the mop cleanly, a touch of disappointment appeared on her fair face again, and sighed softly: "Now more and more outstanding and powerful people have gathered around the lord, I will wait for you now."
If we can’t always be with the lord, we must at least try our best on our own battlefield.”
"That's right, we will never let the Lord down even a little bit!"
Ah Bing also nodded heavily and sped up the movements in his hands.
With the full efforts of these two fourth-level maids, this area quickly took on a new look, and even the floor looked shiny.
After calling another team of alternate maids to take charge of this area, A Ling and A Bing walked to other areas of the banquet hall with satisfaction.
"Ling, by the way, the maids are all proud to see the lord, especially Barbara, Beatrice and others. They were so excited that they didn't sleep well for several nights. You transferred them to the kitchen, right?
Is it too hard on them?"
Seeing that the preparations in the banquet hall had come to a perfect end, Ah Bing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.
"Don't worry, Miss Louise is attending the meeting this time. You may not know that the weird and greedy vampire lady who has been responsible for the reception will drag the lord to the meeting before every banquet.
Let’s take a sneak peek at the kitchen.”
Aling smiled and responded: "The area that Barbara and the others are responsible for is at the edge of the banquet hall. It is difficult to see the lord directly, but it is different in the back kitchen where the space is relatively limited.
."
"It turns out that our maid Ling looks strict, but in fact she is always thinking about the maids."
Ah Bing raised her eyebrows and began to joke: "What would the maids think if they knew that the unsmiling Maid Ling sleeps with a pillow depicting the lord every day?"
"Bing, please keep your voice down, you are the same!"
A Ling's cheeks turned red and she quickly covered the other person's mouth.
Just as the preparations for the banquet hall were being completed, Lei Xiao, who had just conquered the Zhuyue Clan, led Qiduo, Hongye, Huzhang and others, and arrived not far from the banquet hall under Sophia's guidance.
"Your Highness, the banquet hall is just ahead. We just received news from the head maids A Bing and A Ling. Everything is ready."
Sophia, who was wearing a holy priest's robe, touched her chest and saluted, and introduced: "Currently, the seven kings are in place, and the accompanying civil and military ministers from various countries are also on standby in the lounge."
"Very good. The most important purpose of holding this banquet is to let them get to know each other well and lay the foundation for future cooperation."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked again: "What about the other two old presidents?"
"Back to Your Highness, the leaders of the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild have all arrived. However, Her Highness the Pelican Princess Mayfair is still busy repairing the absolute defense barrier that was eroded by darkness before the main hall, and will not be able to arrive for a while.
"
Sofia nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "Your Highness, would you like to officially hold the banquet now?"
"There's no rush, there's still some time."
Lei Xiao just waved his hand, and Louise, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately rushed up and said with bright eyes: "Lord, since you still have some time, let's go to the kitchen and say hello!
It just so happens that my subordinates haven’t seen Rudy and the others for a long time!”
"I take it you are greedy?"
Lei Xiao casually touched the other person's head, then looked at Ariel and Catherine who were also waiting not far away, and Cecilia who happened to be walking around the corner, and said with a smile: "Then you will come with me.
Let’s take a walk.”
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, everyone immediately nodded in agreement and followed Lei Xiao obediently.
"Your Highness, please go this way."
Seeing this, Sophia smiled and began to lead the way again.
The group had just turned a corridor, and the refreshing aroma was already hitting their faces.
"Lord, this is my subordinate's favorite taste of cheese-frosted lamb rolls!"
Louise's starry eyes became even brighter, saliva flowed out of the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but grab Lei Xiao's sleeve.
"It seems Rudy and the others have expected you to come. After all, you have never been absent."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and could only speed up his pace.
When the group of people came to the kitchen door, Sophia's loud and clear voice sounded: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince has arrived!"
Upon hearing Sophia's voice, both the guards at the door and the people working in the kitchen were stunned for a moment, and then they all put down their work and fell to their knees with reverence and excitement on their faces.
In the human world, the title Holy Lion Prince not only represents a territory in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but also represents the transcendent existence that stands above the seven crowns and saves everyone!
"It doesn't have to be so grand. I'm just walking around casually. Thank you for your hard work. Just do your job."
Lei Xiao raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to get up, and soon walked into the kitchen with Louise who couldn't wait.
After letting Louise pounce on the small dining table that Rudy and others had prepared, Lei Xiao looked around.
The kitchen is at least three to four hundred square meters in size and looks extremely spacious. It is fully equipped with various ovens, stoves, chopping boards and other utensils, and at least a hundred people are busy working in it.
Whether it is the maids washing and picking vegetables at the outside, the chefs cutting and baking vegetables in the middle, or the chefs such as Rudy showing off their skills in the back, they are all in order and working together in perfect harmony.
"Your Highness, we just passed by the back door of the kitchen. There are many food delivery ports on Rudy's side that lead directly to the banquet hall to ensure that the distinguished guests can enjoy the freshly baked food as soon as possible."
Sofia introduced Lei Xiao and others while walking slowly in the spacious space.
But just as Sophia finished speaking, there was a sudden rush of sounds not far away.
Lei Xiao followed the sound and found out that a short-haired maid accidentally dropped a potato on the ground. After picking it up, she was about to get up when her head happened to knock the potato out of the hand of another long-haired maid, and then the next two
The people bumped into each other and sat down on the ground with stars in their eyes, making the whole scene quite funny.
"Why are these two girls so careless? What should I do if they disturb His Highness?"
Sophia frowned slightly and was about to step forward to scold her, but was stopped by Lei Xiao.
"It doesn't matter, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to Ariel and Cecilia beside him. The two girls understood and stepped forward to help the two maids up.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!"
When they saw clearly that the person holding them up was actually the queen of a country, and she was the perfect woman that they longed for the most, the two maids rolled their eyelids and almost fainted from excitement.
But only a moment later, their eyes fell on Lei Xiao involuntarily, and they knelt down together again.
The long-haired maid's breathing was rapid, and her tall chest was rising and falling. She first spoke excitedly: "Beatrice, Brown's daughter, pays homage to His Highness the Great Holy Lion Prince!"
The short-haired maid followed closely behind, her face full of excitement and awe as she said: "Barbara, daughter of Jess, pays homage to His Highness the Great Holy Lion Prince! Because she saw His Highness up close, the little girl was really excited.
I accidentally bumped into His Highness, please forgive me!"
"I'm not a weakling, so why should I argue against you?"
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, signaling the two maids who were still excited to get up.
Lei Xiao has actually encountered this kind of frightening sudden scene many times during this period, so he is not surprised.
"Beatrice of the Browns?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "If I remember correctly, your father is the deputy captain of the Grim Royal Knights, right? He is also one of the most loyal subordinates of Saint King Lawrence. He has stood firm from the beginning.
On my side."
"To be honest with Your Highness, my father once told the little girl that following His Highness was the best choice he has ever made in his life! Currently, my father has been fortunate enough to be transferred here, and has been appreciated by His Majesty Sofia, becoming the Grand Master of the new Temple Guard Knights.
Captain."
Beatrice's face was full of excitement, and she cried with joy: "I didn't expect His Highness to still remember such an insignificant little person like my father!"
"Your father is no small person. His courage is enough to make everyone admire him."
After that, Lei Xiao turned to Sophia and said casually: "Brown has made a lot of contributions to Lawrence's coronation. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great contributions. These heroes must not be ignored."
"As you command, Your Highness."
After Sophia nodded in agreement, Lei Xiao looked at the short-haired maid Barbara, and said: "I remember Lawrence once mentioned to me that there was a brave deputy captain who fought against several powerful enemies of the same strength, and only then did he save his life.
The safety is your father, right?"
"Your Highness can remember my father's small achievements. This little girl is so grateful!"
Facing Lei Xiao who was so close at hand, Barbara no longer had the image of a lady like an aristocratic lady. She was so excited that snot bubbles were about to pop out of her nose, and she nodded repeatedly.
