Chapter 203 Routines(2/4)
Barde smiled a little sadly, and his evaluation of the lady in his heart should have been reduced by another level.
Although it was impossible to invite her over for this purpose, it was impossible, but it was also true that she was a little sad. That's right, it was just a matter of letting her be a bad person.
"I seem to have said it too much. I hope you can assume that this is not the case, but is it more appropriate to persuade your master?"
"You may be right, but when you think of the lady's father, that is, my master's kindness to me, you still can't..."
"Although loyalty is also very important..."
Barde muttered, and the following words were a little vague.
"If this happens, why don't I send you someone who is trustworthy?"
“You don’t need to worry so much.”
Although the tone of this sentence is gentle, it is a decisive rejection. It should be to understand the firm will hidden in this sentence, and Barde continued to propose it from other directions.
"Is that right? But I still think it's better to have a decent bodyguard to follow. The journey to the royal capital is quite long, and unlike the empire, the security in the kingdom streets is not very good. I can help hire a trustworthy mercenary."
The guard work in the street is the responsibility of the nobles in the territory where they are located. Relatively, they will collect passers-by taxes. This is the right of the nobles, but in fact this is just a name for collecting to taxes. The guards in many places can be said to be full of loopholes. Therefore, it is not uncommon for travelers on the street to be attacked by thieves or mercenaries who have turned into robbers.
In order to solve this problem, with the efforts of the "Jingyan" Princess, the street guards directly under the king were also patrolling, but because the number of teams was not large, it was really impossible to say that they had any effect. The few patrol teams were not large because the king now manages all this, but in fact, Kesma and the others are Chen Bai's subordinates, managing all this.
Of course, the reason why a large number of soldiers were sacrificed during the invasion of the demons was also the reason.
As a result, it turned out that state power alone could not maintain public security in the streets.
Therefore, merchants traveling on the streets basically hire adventurers or trustworthy mercenaries to defend themselves. Among such merchants, people as powerful as Bardes should know some well-trained and trustworthy mercenaries. But Shadt could not accept the other party's proposal.
"Maybe that's right. But the lady doesn't like someone to be by my side. I have to follow the master's wishes as much as possible."
"Is this the same?"
Valde wrinkled his face exaggeratedly, showing a embarrassed expression. It was the expression of an adult who felt helpless when facing the children.
"I'm so sorry for letting down your kindness!"
"Don't say that. To be honest, I want to sell you a favor. If I can't do it, at least I want to get closer to the relationship a little."
The daughter of a wealthy businessman and the butler from a city in the Empire. Shadt and others stayed in this hotel with this setting, showing strong financial resources that match the status of a rich man, allowing the surroundings to feel such an atmosphere. The object of Valder's favor is the wealthy businessman in this setting.
Sebas smiled tenderly at the fish that had eaten their bait:
"I will definitely pass on Mr. Barde's kind attitude to the lady's father [King]!"
A little shining light appeared deep in Barde's eyes, but it was immediately concealed. Most people could not see this change like a flash of starlight. However, such a change was enough for Shadt's book to make him clearly conscious.
"So, I'm very sorry, because the lady is still waiting, so I'll take my leave first."
When Valde was about to speak, Shadt took the initiative.
Barde, who was seen through, seemed to be trying to observe a little, and then sighed after spying on Shadt's expression:
"—Huh, since that's the case, there's nothing I can do. Mr. Sebas, please come to me next time you visit this town, and I will definitely welcome you warmly."
"Okay. Please take care of me at that time."
Watching the departure of Valde, Sebas muttered softly.
"This is a kind of rice to raise hundreds of people."
Sebas could feel that Bald's words and deeds were not all for the sake of interests. It also contained the desire to be simply worried about a woman and a housekeeper.
It is precisely because of such people, those who want to help the weak, that they cannot hate humans in their hearts.
Shadt happily showed an unpretentious and cheerful smile.
Sydney was not interested in their conversation at all! However, Sydney, who was not very familiar with the world, still realized that Shadt's difficulty was not simple.
Sydney always feels something is wrong with them, but it always feels that they can't speak out.
Then, Shadt walked upstairs to the VIP lounge, Sydney remembered their room number, and then smiled and said to his mother and sister:
"I'll go and make some more convenient! You can order after you finish eating! Eat whatever you want!"
Then Sydney was about to walk up, but was stopped by the waiter on the stairs!
"Sir, I'm sorry! You can only go up to the VIP building!"
"Ah? That's right, I have a friend on it..."
Sydney explained.
"Then please provide the house number and name, and we will convey the message to you!"
The waiter said with a smile.
"Hahahaha... My friend's name doesn't like to tell others. I hope to tell others if I do this. If I do this, I'll wait below!"
Sydney smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat.
After knocking on the door several times and disturbing him, Sebas bowed and entered the room.
"I was rude just now, Lord Shadt."
Shaddette closed the door and entered the room. The woman who came to greet him was a woman who bowed deeply. If the people in the restaurant saw this scene, they would be dumbfounded. Because the person who bowed his head to greet him was the willful lady who was hysterical and making a fuss and was always angry.
The expression on his face was quite calm, and he felt that his hysteria was pretending to be pretending.
The attitude shown is suitable for people who are higher than you.
They have the same appearance and the same clothes, but they seem to have completely changed into another person.
There is another strange thing, that is, she closed one eye - her left eye. Although she did not close one eye when she was in the restaurant.
"There is no need to bow your head and apologize. You are just doing your own job."
Shadt looked around the interior of the luxuriously decorated room. Of course, the Hills Empire was also very prosperous. But it was indeed quite good here! Of course, it wouldn't be surprised, but it was just because I chose the wrong comparison partner.
A lot of luggage was concentrated in the corner of the room where I looked. It was already in a state of being able to leave, not being organized by Shadt, so the person who came first completed it alone.
"I'll just sort it out."
"What did you say? How can you continue to bother Lord Shaddth?"
The woman raised her head, one of the shadow female assassins in this operation, Solina.
"Is that true? But I am now your butler."
Shadt's face with a few wrinkles showed a childish expression like a prankster.
Feeling Shadt's smile from the bottom of his heart, Solina's expression changed again and she showed a embarrassed smile:
"Indeed, Lord Sebas is my housekeeper, but I am also a subordinate of Lord Sebas."
"...I've said that, then let me, as a boss, order my subordinates: Your work has come to an end, and next is my work, so you can rest here until you leave."
“…Yes, thank you.”
"Then, I'll also go and meet with Lord Pedeon, who may have been waiting in the carriage until impatient, and inform him of the moment of leaving."
[Pedion, originally from the Cas Empire, later defected to the Hills Empire.]
Shadt easily lifted the largest luggage from the piled luggage, and then asked as if he had suddenly thought of it:
"After that being said, did he act as we expected?"
"Yes, exactly as we expected."
Solina pressed and held the closed eye from her eyelid.
[Note: Solina's unique sexual skills! Unable to learn.]
[Specific skill: When closing your eyes, you can observe a target within one mile.]
"That's really a lucky thing, so, what's the situation right now?"
"Yes - currently meeting a sloppy man. Do you want to hear what they are saying?"
"There is no need for this. I'm going to move my luggage now, so just wait and sort out the key points before telling me."
"learn."
Solina's face suddenly twisted.
The corners of the eyes are drooping and the corners of the mouth are bent - although it is similar to a smile, it is very suitable for twisting into a ball of expressions. It is almost impossible to twist into that shape in the structure of a human face. The whole expression made of clay is twisted together.
"—By the way, Lord Sebas, let me change the topic."
"What's the matter, Solina?"
"…After the matter is over, can I punish that man?"
Shadt's free hand touched the beard on his mouth and thought for a moment.
"——Well, as long as you get the king's permission, it doesn't matter if you deal with it."
Solina's brow frowned slightly, and her disappointment was beyond words. Sebas continued as if she wanted to comfort her:
"It's okay, it shouldn't be a problem to just give you one person."
"Is that right? I understand. Then please tell Lord Pedean that if you can, I want that man! Be sure to save his life!"
Solina smiled all over her face, and anyone who saw that happy expression without any gloom would be fascinated by her.
