The west and north sides of the Barony of Isis are both shrouded by groups of large and small hills.
The land to the south borders the territory of another baron, and to the east is the endless sea that everyone knows.
The Castle of Baron Isis is located in the middle of the territory.
Outside the walls surrounding the castle stand old wooden houses with one floor and three bedrooms.
This tall stone wall located between the castle and the serf village divided the two worlds.
On the outer periphery of the serf village, there are wooden pile walls that have been specially treated and deeply inserted into the ground and closely connected.
Among the many wooden houses of the same style in the serf villages.
In an ordinary-looking house, a total of four people, two men and two women, two adults and two children, were sitting around on the floor of the wooden house.
It can be vaguely distinguished from their appearance that they should be members of the same family.
The furnishings in the wooden house are very simple, it can be said that there is not even a piece of decent furniture.
A discerning person can easily tell from the environment of the house that the economic situation of this family is not very good.
However, in the middle of the huge straw mat where four people were sitting around, there was a silver-white dinner plate that was not suitable for the poor family.
Suck it~
“Sister, this is delicious!
Mmm~ so sweet~”
A little boy wearing shabby clothes one size larger than his body was twiddling his fingers and whimpering inarticulately.
There was a string of crystal snot hanging on his dirty little face.
"Little Tai Lun, do you like to eat this?"
Thor stretched out his hand to wipe away the crystal substance hanging under the nose of the little boy sitting on his left.
At this time, Thor is more like a mature sister than a crying maid.
"I like it, sister, can I have some more?"
The little boy licked his fingers that were extremely clean and looked at the plate in front of him with a longing expression.
There are still two other pieces of honey crab meat of similar size on the plate.
Originally there were three pieces of crab meat of the same size on it, but one piece was eaten by the little boy Tai Lun.
"Little Tai Lun, no.
You have already eaten one piece, these two pieces belong to mom and dad."
Thor smiled and told a fact that was quite cruel in Tyron's eyes.
Then he turned around and greeted the middle-aged couple sitting nearby.
"Mom and dad, please try it. This is specially made by the master. It's delicious."
In appearance, Thor is more similar to the middle-aged woman sitting on her right.
She is Thor's biological mother - Edna.
However, Edna did not touch the crab meat on the plate. Instead, she stroked Thor's cheek tenderly and said softly:
"My Thor, I haven't seen you for a while, and my mother and father miss you very much.
I don't know if you are having a good time in the lord's castle.
Mom and dad are useless, otherwise you wouldn’t have to leave mom and dad.
If you are not doing well, then your parents..."
Edna couldn't help but have tears in her eyes as she spoke.
"Mom, don't cry, Thor is living well in the castle."
Thor quickly reached out his hand to wipe the tears on Edna's face, and then said happily:
"Although sometimes a maid has a lot of work and is tiring,
But Aunt Monica and the master were very kind to me.
Especially the master is very kind to Thor.
The master always feeds Thor delicious white bread,
Do you know white bread?
It was a kind of white bread that only nobles could eat.
It tastes much better than brown bread, and it's soft and fluffy.
It’s nothing like the hard black bread at home that can hit people.”
Thor excitedly explained to his mother his treatment in the castle.
But most of the content is from the past week.
This made Tai Lun, who was listening, look at his sister with envy.
He couldn't imagine in his mind what those delicious foods looked like.
“If that’s the case, that would be really great.
Your father and I are relieved.
Do you think so, Lawrence?"
Lawrence is Thor's father.
While Thor was talking to his mother, the weather-beaten man sat silently aside.
But after seeing Edna bring the topic to him, Lawrence knew that he could no longer remain silent:
"Thor, dad is very happy to see you again.
Although it only lasted a little over a month,
But you have grown taller and become more beautiful than before.
It’s just that Dad hopes that in your heart you won’t blame Dad for sending you to the castle to be a maid.”
It was Thor's father Lawrence who originally proposed sending Thor to the castle.
Who would be willing to be separated from their children if they were not forced by life?
But when faced with the painful multiple-choice question of who should stay and who should go, he finally chose to abandon his eldest daughter.
Send her to a noble castle with an uncertain future.
This means that Thor will completely sever ties with the Lawrence family and will never see each other again.
If Thor meets a kind noble, then she will have no worries about food and clothing in her life.
On the contrary, what may be waiting for her is the endless abyss of hell.
The couple has not seen their daughter for more than a month since then.
Edna and Lawrence felt very regretful about this.
"Dad, Thor never blamed you!
If it weren't for you, Thor wouldn't have met his master and Aunt Monica.
And the master is very kind to me,
You see, the master asked me to bring this back too.
It's very delicious. Dad, please try it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Thor was deeply impressed by what Sauron did in just a few days.
As for his behavior a month ago, Thor had long since thrown him into Java and never mentioned it to his parents.
"And mom, you too, come and have a taste."
Thor took the initiative to pick up the fork on the dinner plate, picked up a piece of crab meat, and handed it to his mother Edna.
"Mom and Dad don't want to eat, so I'll leave these two pieces for you and Tyron to eat." Edna held Thor's little hand and said softly.
"Really~?" The little boy Tai Lun said excitedly and impatiently after hearing this.
"No, these two pieces are for mom and dad. You've already eaten them, Tai Lun!"
Thor put on a fierce look on his face and once again cruelly rejected Tyrann Dao.
"Oh~"
As if the strength in his body was drained, Tai Lun shrugged his head and responded.
But he still looked at the crab meat on the plate with a trace of longing in his eyes.
"Thor, it doesn't matter.
You and Tai Lun are growing and need to eat more.
It doesn’t matter if mom and dad eat it or not.”
Father Lawrence offered words of comfort.
"But...but Thor has always hoped,
I hope that one day I can sit with my parents and eat meat together.
The master specially gave Thor three pieces of crab meat for this purpose."
The little maid looked at Edna and Lawrence with aggrieved expression.
Looking at her wronged daughter, Edna felt a little sad in her heart.
She took the fork from Thor's hand and turned to look at Lawrence.
Lawrence, who had lived with Edna for many years, understood the meaning at a glance.
He stood up, took out a small knife from the back room and handed it to his wife.
Ding~
Ding~
Two light metal clashing sounds resounded in the room.
The two large pieces of crab meat that were originally on the silver dinner plate now turned into four much smaller pieces.
“This way our family can eat together!”
Edna's face was filled with love for Thor.
She didn't care whether her hands were clean or not, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of crab meat from the dinner plate.
"Yes, we will eat together as a family!"
"Eat together, eat together!"
Lawrence and Tai Lun also agreed, reaching out their hands to pick up the crab meat.
After getting the crab meat, Tai Lun's little hand went straight to his mouth, but Lawrence, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stopped him.
After seeing his father's stern eyes, he shrank his neck and lowered his hand holding the crab meat.
Tai Lun could only hold the crab meat in his hands like his parents and looked expectantly at his motionless sister.
"That...okay then."
Thor saw that everyone in the family was holding a piece of crab meat in their hands, and there was still his own piece on the plate.
She did not continue to insist on what she just said.
He just stretched out his hand in a daze and picked up the only piece of crab meat left on the plate.
"Great, Thor's wish has finally come true!" Thor was quite excited.
"Let us cheer for Miss Thor who provided this delicious food~" Lawrence, as the head of the family, congratulated.
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
Edna and Tyron responded to Lawrence.
When Thor heard the cheers of his family, he also showed a happy smile.
Amid cheers, everyone stuffed the crab meat into their mouths.
But Thor didn't notice,
The crab meat in her and Tai Lun's hands was larger than that in their parents' hands.
