    Elena? Vincent.  Professional housekeeper.

    Rosenberg¡¯s old butler John Winston believed that among the entire viscounty, she was the most suitable candidate to take over the position of housekeeper after he resigned.  Out of loyalty to the Rosen family, or because he had other agendas, he went against tradition and did not recommend his own son or daughter, but instead recommended this young girl who had previously had no reputation.  Elena is the second daughter of the old housekeeper's third son. She has shown interest and talent in this field since she was a child.  Thanks to her grandfather's profession, she received an education in line with her talents since she was a child, but she still lacked some practical experience.

    Therefore, her grandfather, the old housekeeper of Rosenberg, will continue to perform his original duties for a period of time, and in the process gradually teach her the knowledge that needs to be learned in practice.

    Her impression of the new lord was quite good - he was a young man only a few years older than her. He had a gentle smile, unlike her father or grandfather who often carried a suffocating serious look.  expression - in her first contact with the new lord, due to excessive nervousness, her performance was not very good, and could even be said to be a failure. However, the new lord did not mean to blame her and gently encouraged her.  .

    But, but he actuallyactually required that all newly recruited maids must be virgins!

    For a lord with no female relatives, the deeper meaning of this request is already very obvious.  She couldn't imagine that the seemingly gentle and harmless new lord could actually be such a guy. Elena wanted to find a reason to make the other party fire her several times, and even thought about deliberately screwing up some things to achieve her goal, but the confidence deep in her heart and  Pride finally stopped her from thinking this way.

    That would be a betrayal of his grandfather¡¯s trust in him, and even more so, his efforts over the years.  That's a very irresponsible approach.

    Somewhat afraid of seeing the new lord again, Elena claimed that she was not feeling well and did not go with her grandfather to introduce the new maids to the new lord.  She hid in her room, half lying on the bed, wrapping her body in a blanket, thinking wildly in her mind, struggling to find a way to leave here naturally.  She felt that if she really became Rosenberg's housekeeper, she would sooner or later be killed by the terrifying new lord. She had seen the new maids, some of whom were girls about her age.  ¨DIt was said that this was to cater to the special preferences of the new lord. Those rumors made her shudder.

    ??????????????????????????.

    There was a knock on the door.

    Before the person inside could respond, the person who knocked on the door impatiently pushed the door open, walked in, and closed the door hard with his hand.  Without any thinking, Elena could guess who this person was.  He was the only person in the whole castle who could be so rude as to break into someone's room without asking permission.

    That must be the person who also lives on the second floor and has the status of a guest, so that Elena cannot reject him rudely or express her feelings directly to him.

    That girl who is about the same age as her.

    Lofi Pryor.

    It is said that she is a friend of the new lord, but she looks like a country girl who lacks education and hygiene. She spends her days eating and drinking in the castle with nothing to do.  In weeks, Elena had never seen this man doing anything serious.  She basically wanders around every day, causing little innocuous troubles to others from time to time. She only eats and sleeps all day long, as leisurely as a captive animal.

    Sometimes Elena even envies her freedom, but more often than not, the feeling she brings to Elena is trouble and she is afraid to avoid her.

    It is rare to see a girl of the same age as himself. Since the first day Elena entered the castle, Luo Fei often found reasons to appear around Elena, causing the latter a lot of trouble.  Elena wanted to tell her straightforwardly that not everyone was in a state of boredom like her at all times, but seeing the unabashed and heartfelt love shown by the other person in front of her  She was happy, but Elena always felt that she couldn't express it.

    It looks like she must have gone on an ¡®adventure¡¯ somewhere again.

    Elena looked at the clear-cut footprints the other party had made on the floor with regret - it was the maids' job to clean up these stains made of mud and dust, and that one was constantly creating extra workload for others.  Although there were many people there, they still seemed completely unaware - Luo Fei walked over with a smile and an obvious sense of pride on his face, like a mouse that had just stolen cheese.

    "I found something good! Two of them!" Luo Fei patted his waist, and there was a sound of hard objects hitting.  "It just so happens that we have one each!" She smiled and said to Elena: "Guess what it is! If you guess it right, I'll let you pick first!"

      Now Luo Feicai is more like a girl at this age, rather than a young gangster who relies on robbing others for a living, but also has to be wary of threats from around him, and his hands are often stained with blood.  She is active, outspoken, and good at making and enjoying happiness.  After settling in Rosenborg as a guest, especially after meeting Elena, she smiled far more times than she had smiled in the past few years combined.  Leaving the original dangerous and difficult living environment, her mentality is undergoing a huge change, although she is not aware of it yet.

    "Candy? Silverware? Strange-looking bugs?" Elena thought about several answers in succession, but Luo Fei kept shaking his head.  "Is it a gem that fell in the corner? A valuable jewelry?"

    Luo Fei still shook his head.  Unable to resist the urge to show off her results right away, she lifted up the corners of her blouse, revealing what was hanging on her belt.  "I went to the corridor on the first floor today and found this on the ground!" Her tone was full of pride.  "Two or three boneheads discovered me and wanted to catch me, but they couldn't run as fast as me!"

    Hanging on Luo Fei¡¯s belt are two ordinary short daggers.  It is often considered a backup weapon in an emergency.  Many experienced soldiers will carry such a dagger with them to avoid being trapped in the embarrassment of being unarmed at critical moments.

    In the battle more than half a month ago, about fifty soldiers died in the corridor on the first floor that is now occupied by the undead.  Since the corridor had not been cleaned since then, many things were left in place - the sheath of one of the daggers was still stained with dark brown dried blood, and there was a faint strange smell, like someone  The smell of rotten meat.

    This is enough to prove that Luo Fei did not lie about the source of the dagger.

    Elena couldn¡¯t help covering her mouth and coughing a few times.  The smell made her feel very uncomfortable, and the blood stains on the dagger sheath reminded her of some horrific scenes.

    "This is really a 'surprise'." She moved her body back slightly, trying to distance herself from the murder weapons, but Luo Fei came up in time and almost sat on her bed.  "Thank you, but I don't want to accept your gifts. They give me a very bad feeling."

    "How is that possible? I've checked. They are all reliable and easy-to-use high-quality goods. They should be made of steel." Completely misunderstanding the meaning of the other party's words, Luo Fei took out one of the daggers and held it in his hand.  "Look!" She waved her arm and made a stabbing attack from the side.  "Lightweight and sharp, much better than anything I've ever used before! I bet it could pierce a thick piece of leather armor!"

    Have you used it before?

    Elena couldn¡¯t help but wonder how the guy in front of her became a friend of the new lord.  "Neither you nor I need it, nor should we need it," she tried to convince the other person.  "Violent behavior is the most barbaric, rude and horrific behavior. That doesn't really solve the problem. Only animals and beasts will put everything into force."

    Luo Fei shook his head firmly, completely unable to agree with this view.

    "You will need it." Regardless of Elena's obstruction, she took the cleaner dagger from her belt and stuffed it under Elena's pillow.  "You're going to need it when you're face to face with someone who wants to do you harm."

    As he spoke, Luo Fei's expression took on an unprecedented seriousness.  That reminded Elena of her uncle - a middle-aged man who volunteered to join the lord's army and had personally killed many orcs, bandits and those with evil intentions.  That uncle is the person closest to the image of a warrior in Elena's mind, and he is also one of the few members of the Vincent family who has actually been on the battlefield and returned alive.  After being forced to leave the army due to injury, the uncle did not remain depressed. He also relied on his own efforts and the talent of the Vincent family to open a tavern called "Orc Blood" in Washa Town.  I heard that the business of that tavern is pretty good.

    Thinking of her uncle who even had scars on his face, Elena finally accepted Luo Fei's gift.  "Thank you." She solemnly thanked Luo Fei.  "I will remember."

    In response to her gratitude, Luo Fei nodded seriously to Elena.  After that, the serious look on her face disappeared instantly.  "I heard that the servants here have been replaced!" Luo Fei put his own dagger back into its sheath and covered the dagger sheath on his belt with his jacket.  "I'm going to see the excitement. If I'm lucky, I might even meet the boss - I mean, your lord." She said.  "You should really rest in bed for a while, it's best not to catch a cold. I once endured abdominal pain and got caught in the rain. After I went back, I roasted by the fire for a long time before I could barely walk with my legs. That time I felt like I  dying."

    Luo Fei obviously misunderstood the reason why Elena was lying in bed during the day.  In fact, she just doesn't want toThe reason why I met the new lord was not because I felt unwell.  However, it was enough for Elena to feel her kindness.  This kind of pure kindness made Elena, who suddenly left her parents and her past living environment, feel a little warm in her eyes.

    Not wanting the other party to see her current expression, Elena turned around and covered her head with a blanket.  "Remember to close the door when you leave," she whispered under the blanket.  "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently."
