This old maid who is over sixty years old and has a somewhat stooped body is responsible for managing all the maids in the castle, because except for her and the new maid Thor, there are no other maids in the castle.
Of course, in addition to the maid, the castle also has a part-time coachman, a purchasing gardener, and a guard team composed of ten ordinary people.
It's not that the Isis family doesn't want more servants and guards, it's that the barony, which produces only a dozen gold coins a year, doesn't allow them to spend extra money to maintain this group of unemployed people.
In order to ensure the income and security of the territory, Baron Isis in the past generations would only stingyly select one or two pleasing women from the serf families in the territory and start training them when the previous maid was about to retire.
The advantage of this is that the Isis family can enjoy the meticulous service of servants while maintaining the income from the territory. In fact, this approach is also the approach of most small nobles.
And Monica has been working in the castle for more than fifty years. It can be said that her predecessor's father was already working as a maid in the manor before he was born.
As she gets older, Monica, who is too old and frail, may not be able to continue working as a maid, so this is where Thor comes into play.
Thor will be carefully trained by Monica for a few years to become a qualified maid, and then Monica will take a back seat.
"Aunt Monica said that one thing you must learn to be an excellent maid is to wait patiently! (???_??)?"
In the dim castle corridor, Thor just stood outside Sauron's room with a wooden basin filled with hot water in his hand, constantly cheering himself up because her arms were already very sore.
Long-term malnutrition has made her physical condition much lower than that of normal children of the same age. Even if she replenishes her health within a month of living in the castle, the consequences of long-term malnutrition cannot be changed in just one month.
of.
Thor's arms began to tremble slightly because she had been holding a tub filled with hot water for a long time, but she was stubborn and refused to put the tub in her hand on the ground to relax her arms, as if this matter was harmful to her body.
As a maid, this is a kind of denial.
Just when she thought that this time it would be the same as before, the door that was originally closed... opened.
Click~
The room opened from the inside, and a ray of light shone from the window of the room into the somewhat dim corridor.
Zoro scratched his messy hair and looked at the little skinny monkey at the door. According to his habits in Blue Star, he would not get up without three poles in the sun.
However, after successively devouring the tree nest and the soul of Sauron Isis, his current mental power is far beyond that of normal people in terms of quantity and recovery speed.
Thor had already woken up before knocking on the door, but the habit he brought from Blue Star prevented him from getting up immediately, but stayed in bed. During this period, Sauron missed him more than once.
The Yali mobile phone I just bought from Blue Star.
So when he heard the maid calling him to get up, he got up quickly. However, the clothes of the nobles really bothered Sauron, so he opened the door of the room with endless resentment towards the clothes of nobles from other worlds.
"Master, Thor brought you hot water.=^_^="
Thor was still a child after all. When he saw Sauron open the door, he couldn't help but show a happy tone and expression.
"Forehead!"
Zoro looked at the little girl at the door with a startled look on his face. He couldn't believe that the skinny little girl in front of him, who couldn't tell the difference between male and female, and who was afraid that she would be criticized for her lack of meat if she gave it to kobolds for stew, was his maid.
Even the children in the poorest areas of Blue Star do not have an exaggerated body like hers, dark and dry skin, skinny and skinny, golden hair full of split ends and boring, and hands covered with calluses even though they are young.
, but those big and smart eyes show that the girl in front of her is still full of hope for life.
He didn't find any details about this little girl in his predecessor's memory. He only vaguely remembered that Monica, the old maid in the castle, had brought back a new maid, and even the name was vaguely remembered.
The main reason for this is that my predecessor became obsessed with pharmacy after his father passed away. He spent most of the savings in the castle to purchase some magic materials and a set of basic medicine refining equipment, and transformed the third floor of the castle into an experiment room.
He spent all day and night tinkering with some strange things in his room. Even the new maid in the manor had been here for more than a month, and he didn't know her detailed face.
"Okay...ok, thank you!"
Sauron, who had not yet adapted to life in another world, almost blurted out the native language of Blue Star. Fortunately, he reacted in time and changed it to the language of the other world, but even so, it still had a great impact on the little maid Thor.
In Thor's few memories, every time the master answered her, he would either say "um", "oh", or "I know", without even turning his head to look at her. He had never interacted with her like this before.
Have spoken.
In other worlds, nobles who own fiefs, no matter how small they are, rarely say "thank you" to low-status servants. They tend to look at all non-noble ordinary people with arrogance.
Zoro ignored Thor's stunned expression, forcefully took the tub from her hand, and brought it back to the table in the room.
He first glanced at his slightly pale but delicate hands, then picked up a handful of water from the tub and rubbed it vigorously on his greasy face. He repeated this several times, and then picked up a cup of water and put it on his face.
The towel beside the tub wiped away the water stains on his face.
Zoro, who hadn't washed in two days, felt much more comfortable after doing this, and the originally clear hot water became a little turbid.
In line with the principle of shameful waste, he directly poured the washing water from the wooden basin into the flowerpot with the tree nest planted in it, without considering whether this small flowerpot could hold so much water.
But the tree nest planted in the flowerpot was like a shriveled sponge, absorbing all the wash water Sauron poured down.
After a night of growth, it has grown from two or three centimeters tall last night to seven or eight centimeters now, and has several more leaves than last night.
But Sauron's series of actions were clearly seen by Thor at the door. She clearly felt that the master seemed to be a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what exactly it was.
Thor just stood blankly at the door, looking a little hesitant. When he didn't know what to do next, it was Sauron who spoke first.
"Your name is Thor, right?" Zoro asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes...yes, Master."
After hearing Sauron's question, Thor was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and quickly answered Sauron's question. At the same time, he wailed in his heart: "Mammy said that as the master's maid, she should always pay attention to her master's every move.
I move so that I can respond in time in case the master needs it. I just... failed so much. The master must have a very bad impression of me now. I want to die! I want to die! I want to die! I don’t want to be driven home!
(?_?)”
Looking at the little maid who didn't react for a moment, Sauron didn't care and smiled: "How old is Thor this year?"
"Master, Thor is eight years old this year." The little maid answered with some hesitation and even a little fear.
"But in a few years, Thor will be as big as Aunt Jessica. Then Master...Master can...!"
As if she thought of something, she first covered her washboard-like chest with both hands, and then made gestures on her chest. A faint blush appeared on her face, and her voice became softer and softer.
Zoro felt speechless for a while.
"Joseph is Sister Cao Lege. Who are these people? Why are there so many dramas?"
Thinking about it with his buttocks, he also knew what Thor meant by this sentence. Although he didn't have a girlfriend, it didn't mean that he didn't understand.
He decisively ignored what she said next, then strode forward directly, stretched out his hand to rub Thor's long golden hair, and joked: "Hahahahaha! That little Thor still needs to continue to be good.
Work hard!”
"Eat more papaya~" Zoro added in a wicked tone.
It was not as smooth and soft as expected, but only endlessly greasy and rough. However, Zoro still kept a smile on his face, but in his heart he sprayed those unscrupulous writers all over, saying that he was a cute and pink little loli.
What? Why did your appearance change when you came to my place?
"Hmm~(*^ω^*)"
As a native of another world, Thor did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but it did not prevent her from echoing Sauron, but her mind was full of questions: "The master's appearance today is so different from before, but why do I
...Not so annoying?”
"If only the Lord were like this all the time."
"And what exactly is papaya that the master is talking about?"
The rising sunlight passed through the windows of the castle room and shone on the two people, one tall and one short, one large and one small, leaving a warm and harmonious picture at this moment.
