On the way to the castle, Werther heard the instructions from the parchment again: open the hidden weapon ball to the second function.
Although he felt strange, he did as he was told and then put the ring on his finger.
When she returned to the castle, the escaped maid had already eaten a plate of roast lamb, two slices of cheese bread, and three potato pancakes.
She was stroking her round belly and taking a nap while leaning on the sofa, causing others to feel sleepy.
"Oh my god, is she here to be a maid?" Werther shook his head and sighed, "She's so rude."
Wile said from the side: "Your Highness, she said you promised her to give her a big meal."
"I promised, but I didn't know she could eat so much. Well, what will we do in the future? Her food intake is equivalent to that of three people."
At this time, the girl was awakened by Werther's voice. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and then said lazily: "Your Highness, even though I can eat and sleep, I am very capable. I just ate so much
I'm so sorry. Is there any work for me now? I'm good at cleaning, laundry, washing dishes, cooking and other household chores."
Werther couldn't say anything, so he had to sit on the sofa and said to her: "You used to be Mrs. Agnes's servant, so I can't completely believe you. I still need to ask you some things now, about you, and
About the conversation you overheard."
As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately sat up straight, stared at Werther and said, "You can ask, and I will answer truthfully. But I didn't quite understand the content of the conversation, so I can only tell you the fragments I heard.
"
With a serious look on his face, Werther asked: "First of all, I need to know your name."
"I don't have a name. As a maid in Mrs. Agnes's house, you can't have a name. I have already forgotten my name." The girl pointed to the silver ribbon she used to tie her hair and continued, "My nickname
It’s called Silver Ribbon, you can call me Silver Ribbon from now on.”
"Silver ribbon?" Werther was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned his expression to normal and continued to ask, "How long have you been with Mrs. Agnes?"
"It's a long story, and I have to start with my life experience." The girl showed a recalling look, "I was born in a noble family in Frank City. When I was ten years old, my family declined, and I had no choice but to seek refuge with my distant relative Dake.
The Duke. The Duke of Dark made me a maid because I was good at work, so when I was twelve years old, he sent me to serve Lady Agnes."
"So you are from a noble family." Werther looked at her in surprise and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Sixteen years old."
"How is Mrs. Agnes treating you?"
"It's pretty good. I've never had my wages deducted, but they often don't give me late-night snacks."
"Then she's been very good to you, and you don't have to have late-night snacks."
"But our salary is only two silver coins per month, so we should be given midnight snacks!"
After hearing this, Werther was shocked. It turned out that Mrs. Agnes paid the servants such little wages. Fortunately, Mrs. Agnes took care of their food and clothing expenses, otherwise they could really survive in Notland.
"Then will she give you something to eat?"
"Of course, there will be palace dishes occasionally."
"Then this isn't exactly what you want."
"Yes." The girl put her hands on the sofa and dangled her legs, as if she was beginning to recall the past.
After eating the food, my mouth watered again without realizing it.
At this time, Margery ran over on golden high heels, her originally big eyes narrowed into slits, she pouted angrily, pointed at the girl, and said calmly and angrily: "Laura, I don't understand what you just said.
I heard, you still can't get rid of your lying habit, what about silver ribbons, Aunt Agnes doesn't give nicknames to the servants, usually everyone calls you Laura."
When the girl saw Margaery rushing over, she covered her mouth with her hands in panic and whispered: "Oh my God, I actually forgot that Miss Margaery also lives in the castle. Does she know me?"
Margery continued to say reluctantly: "Also, you are not from a noble family at all. When you were ten years old, you almost fainted from hunger and were picked up by a kind maid next to Duke Dark. At that time, you were wearing burlap clothes.
, not the dress of an aristocrat at all.”
"Well." Laura scratched the back of her head and muttered in a low voice, "Who doesn't want to become a noble?"
Margery continued: "Also, aunt always feeds servants common people's food, so you shouldn't be able to eat palace food. I think the reason why you told brother Werther that you used to eat well is to make Werther
Brother, I’m sorry for not giving you delicious food!”
"You actually saw it. You are indeed Miss Margery, who I grew up with."
Margery clenched her fists helplessly and said: "I only met you at my aunt's house. Who grew up with you? The personal maid I grew up with is now in Frank City."
"I know I was wrong, Miss Margery."
"You are a maid who often offends Aunt Agnes. It is only because you are quick at work that you have not been kicked out of the house by her these years." Margaery folded her hands on her chest and looked down upon Laura, "Look,
Now my aunt can't stand you anymore and has finally kicked you out. I didn't expect that you have fallen to this, and you still like to talk nonsense."
"Uh." Werther was shocked on the outside by the conversation between the two of them. It turned out that this girl named Lola was just talking nonsense, and he actually believed it.
"Wait a minute, Laura, are you really being hunted because you heard the conversation between Mrs. Agnes and Noli?" Werther was a little flustered.
"I promise this must be true." Laura's eyes were very firm, slightly different from the expression when she was running on the train just now.
"I believe this, so can you tell me now what exactly you heard?" Werther looked at Laura seriously.
Laura suddenly blushed, looked down, and muttered: "I didn't tell you."
"What?" Werther accidentally fell to the ground and hit his nose on the corner of the table.
After he got up, he covered his nose and said loudly to Laura: "If you don't say anything, I will kick you out of the castle!"
"I said, Your Highness, please don't be angry." Laura showed a guilty expression.
At this moment, Werther heard the sound of a thin needle-like hidden weapon flying not far away. When he reacted, a thin needle that was about to be inserted into Laura's neck was sucked into the hidden weapon ball worn on his finger.
.
He suddenly turned around and looked out the window, only to see a man wearing a hat running away in a hurry. The thin needle concealed weapon just now must have been released by that man, and the target must be Laura.
Fortunately, the parchment reminded him to adjust the hidden weapon ball to the second function. Just now, the thin needle was about to enter Laura's neck, exactly two meters away from the hidden weapon ball, reaching the level of attraction.
"Ah!" Laura suddenly covered her mouth
He shouted, "That man's back looks very much like Noli, it must be Noli who is chasing me!"
"Oops, your whereabouts have been discovered." Werther clenched his fists nervously, "It looks like you can't go out during this time."
Werther wrapped the needle in paper and handed it to Wile: "Give this to Ivan later and let him see if there is any poison on it."
"Yes, Your Highness, what should we do about Laura? She is in danger now."
"I'm going to put York in charge of protecting her."
Margery next to her suddenly said angrily after hearing this: "Brother Werther, how can you let my bodyguard protect her! You know, Laura used to be Aunt Agnes's, she didn't know that she did it for her aunt.
How much it hurts you."
Laura hurriedly said: "I used to serve Madam, and I never helped Madam to frame His Highness the Lord. Only once, Mr. Si Shan asked us to tie up Madam, so we did it. Mr. Si Shan said that it was Da
It was ordered by the Duke of Duke. Although I was serving the lady at the time, I was actually a subordinate of the Duke of Duke and could not disobey his wishes.
Slowly, I thought clearly that His Highness the Lord is a good person, so I no longer want to work under the Duke and Mrs. Duck. Just last night, I wanted to beg the lady to ask her to give me the deed of betrayal and give me my freedom.
Let me leave her and Duke Dark. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of the study, I heard the conversation between her and Noli.
Then I was chased by Noli and several armed servants, and accidentally hid in the winery, whereupon I met His Highness the Lord. Then I came to the castle."
"However, in the Kingdom of Notland, once a servant sells himself to a noble, it is almost impossible to get a chance to be free. What's more, you have no bargaining chips at all, how can you get your aunt to let you go?" Margery asked.
He took a step forward and said, "I think you passed by the study because you wanted to steal something to eat."
"Oh, I can't hide it from Miss Margery." Laura lowered her head and poked her two index fingers at each other, "You guessed it right."
Werther spread his hands helplessly, sighed, and said to Margaery: "Her situation is like this now, and I am very busy on weekdays, so I can only let York protect her."
Margaery seemed a little unconvinced and said: "But, she is a maid, so she can't live and eat here for free."
"Of course not, I have already thought about Laura's next job." Werther smiled, looked at Wile, and said, "Now there is a child among our long-term workers who has nowhere to go, and that child seems to be interested in raising cows.
He’s very good at it, why not let him take Laura to raise cows behind the castle.”
"Your Highness, this is a great idea!" Wile exclaimed.
Werther looked at Laura and said, "Next, can you tell me the content of the conversation between Mrs. Agnes and Noli."
Laura nodded and said: "At first, Noli proposed to help Madam deal with you. Madam was very angry with him for helping Master Si Shan instead of helping herself, and did not intend to pay attention to him. But after Noli's repeated persuasion, Madam was very angry.
Next, the lady was finally moved.
Noli said, all the signs now indicate that His Highness the Lord has a magical treasure, and they want to use a strategy to test you. As for this strategy, I can't quite understand it. They seem to be saying, find an opportunity to cause an accident.
Come out and see what you can do with your magic weapon."
Witte took a breath after hearing this. Noli was really vicious. He only knew that they had this plan, but he didn't know what they would do specifically. He had to be careful at all times.
