Xiwei didn't know that Ye Hao had become his "half-brother" unintentionally.

But even if he found out, he would just laugh it off. As the brother of Destiny Child, wouldn't it be very honorable to tell him?

…

It was evening, and Sivit and Clemont returned to Winterkeep, dusty with their travels.

On the way back to Winterfort, the two griffons were so hungry that they couldn't fly. Xi Wei had no choice but to stop and let the two idiots go find food on their own, and then set off again after they were full and drunk.

It was delayed a lot of time.

Sivey, who had just returned to Winterkeep, first arranged for Goodbye to follow Clemont to report to the Guards, and then ordered two knights, one to find the priest, and the other to ask for Mrs. Chris.

The priest was invited to treat little Loli's bruises. Mrs. Chris is Xiwei's nanny. She knows the etiquette and work of maids well, and is absolutely loyal to the Golden Lion family. Such a person is just the right person to teach.

Lori.

After arranging things, only Xiwei and Loli were left in the empty lord hall.

Xiwei looked at the timid girl not far away with confusion, wondering how the harmonious atmosphere between the two people had returned to the original point.

Luo Li lowered her head and stood solemnly in front of the conference table, anxiously awaiting her fate.

From birth to now, she has been wandering with her brother on the border of the Cologne Empire for most of her time. Today is the first time she has eaten bread as soft as clouds, the first time she has seen a flying giant beast with the head of a eagle and the body of a lion.

It was the first time I had flown so high that I saw such a huge town and the majestic and glorious Winter Castle.

All of this subverted her cognition. The man in front of her, who claimed to be the lord, used a direct and rough way to let her know the world again, and also made her realize her ignorance and insignificance.

The inferiority and weakness in her bones made her feel ashamed, and the noble and luxurious decorations and furniture around her made her even more overwhelmed. She felt that she might soil this expensive plush carpet with every step she took.

"Lord...Lord, does Loli really just need to be your personal maid?"

The girl looked at her toes and asked coquettishly.

Xiwei looked at the girl strangely. Why did the griffin, who had been sitting there all afternoon, still have doubts? But he still patiently repeated to the girl:

"Yes, my job is probably to take care of my daily life. Don't worry, I am different from other nobles. I don't have so many rules. As for the specific work content of the personal maid, Mrs. Chris will teach you later.

of."

"oh……"

Luo Li nodded timidly, but still seemed confused and a little unbelievable.

She had heard of the maid, but she didn't know if the lord's personal maid was the same as what she knew.

At the bottom of society in the human empire, maids are a common job for young women. It is common that almost two-thirds of young girls choose to be maids, because being a maid can not only learn some skills, but also receive some wages.

, and occasionally will be rewarded with some items by the owner.

However, this does not mean that the job is good. How the maid lives usually depends on the attitude of the master and his family.

Although in theory a maid is a member of the master's family, it is common for her to be beaten, scolded, and abused. She may even become a tool for the master, his son, and his servants to vent their desires.

If she really couldn't survive, which girl would be willing to bet on her own destiny.

But Lori had no choice. She was alone and without any friends.

After her brother died, the farmers who lost part of their income would no longer be kind enough to keep her.

If it weren't for the lord, she might have died in that alley. Even if she survived by chance, she would just starve to death on the wandering road like other demi-humans, or be captured and sold as a slave, and eventually be abused.

lethal.

At least she felt the long-lost warmth from the lord.

"Lori understands...Lori will work hard to be an excellent maid."

Feeling Xiwei's soft gaze, Loli mustered up some courage, but her voice was still not much louder.

"As long as you have this heart."

Hearing the girl's statement, Xiwei smiled slightly.

Looking at the girl's tattered clothes and dirty face, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

And to be honest, the girl didn't know how long it had been since she took a shower. Not to mention her hair was a mess, and she also had a strange smell. She didn't feel it when the wind was blowing on the griffon before, but now they are in the same room.

It's much more obvious when you're inside the house.

Common people in this world are generally unwilling to take a bath, and so are some nobles in remote territories. They actually believe that taking a bath will wash away the blessings of the gods, and some people even never take a bath for their entire lives.

Anyway, Xiwei can't accept this kind of foolish habit. He may not be able to manage so many people in his territory, but in his castle, he will strip off anyone who doesn't take a bath and hang them at the entrance of Winter City.

sky.

So Xiwei said to Loli in a tentative tone:

"It will be some time before Mrs. Chris comes over. You probably haven't taken a shower for a long time. Go take a shower now and then change into clean clothes."

Loli heard the meaning of Xiwei's words. She sniffed, her petite body trembled slightly, a wisp of red rose quietly climbed up her neck and her cheeks, and the fluffy ears on her head also twitched.

.

The big tail behind her was waving uneasily, showing the girl's restless heart.

Xiwei couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl's cute micro-expressions. He thought in a wicked way that if he put a pot of water on the girl's head, it might boil instantly.

Under Loli's surprised gaze, Xiwei held her hand.

"Winter Castle is quite big. If you can't find the baths by yourself, I will take you there."

…

In the luxurious bathroom of Winter Castle, Loli's face was flushed by the heat, and she soaked in a bath filled with rose petals.

She felt her body was light and airy, as if she was about to fly.

Luo Li hadn't taken a bath in a long, long time, let alone using clean hot water with the scent of roses in such a luxurious bath.

Occasionally she feels like she is dreaming.

It's not that she doesn't care about cleanliness. As a cute and cute girl, she actually cares about her personal hygiene.

But since the death of her parents, Luo Li has been living with her brother. How can the two of them wander around and have a chance to take a bath?

The land on the border of the Cologne Empire is barren and the lakes are in dangerous jungles. Loli dare not approach them at all.

Don't even think about taking a bath in a farmer's home. The old woman is a believer who strongly resists bathing. Besides, clean water is very expensive. Ordinary civilians can't even eat, so how can they have the money to pay attention to their own hygiene?

?

As she thought about it, the girl's nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

It would be great if my parents and brother were still here, so they might also be able to taste the soft bread like white clouds.

The girl always felt that she was not worthy of the lord's kindness to her, she was not qualified, she was just the humblest subhuman.

She pessimistically believes that the price may have been marked behind all this.

But regardless of whether the matter of "just being a personal maid" is true or false, even if the lord asks her to die, Loli will still not have any complaints.

Lori stood up from the bathtub, dried her body with a towel, then stood on tiptoes slightly and took down clothes from the shelf next to her.

It was a set of black men's pajamas. It was so spacious that it could almost be used as a quilt for her.

Are they the lord's clothes?
