"That's not acceptable. How can His Highness go to meet those two ladies in this outfit?"
St. George's Avenue was shrouded in dim yellow gas street lights. Although the carriages parked under the street lights were a bit abrupt, they matched this quiet night very well. Crows flew in the night sky, and the coachman in charge of guarding in the dark looked up and spit out a white puff of smoke from the corner of his mouth with a cigarette in his mouth.
In the carriage, Julia, who was a maid, immediately opposed Jenkins' proposal, and Dolores and Alexia also felt the same way. The two women inside will live in the same home with them for the rest of their lives, and the first meeting cannot be so hasty, so even if they are only separated by a wall and a yard, they cannot meet immediately.
"I have invited them to live in my house in the future, for safety."
Jenkins spoke again, but did not immediately invite Alexia and Dolores to stay too. The talks between the two countries have not yet started. As the heirs of the royal families of their respective countries, Jenkins and Dolores absolutely cannot do such a thing. Not to mention, it is definitely a national scandal for the princess to live together without marriage, and Jenkins doesn't want the idlers on the street and in the tavern to have more talk.
Alexia and Dolores also understood his approach, but Her Royal Highness will not lose at the starting line. She thought for a while and suggested;
"Jenkins, now that you are a person of status, it is difficult to take care of your family, and there is always no one around to take care of you. Even if you invite two ladies to live with you, I don't think this will change much. How about I let Julia follow you temporarily, of course, I know you hate being followed, so she only appears as a maid at night when you are at home, and returns to me when you leave during the day."
Everyone in the car knew what she wanted to do. Julia seemed to want to object, not because she hated Jenkins, but because she didn't want to leave Dolores.
"I will marry Jenkins in the future, and you will definitely follow me. It's better to adapt in advance. Besides, it's only at night. I don't have servants around me. Julia, Jenkins really needs reliable people to take care of him. Although he is very powerful, But life-wise it's a mess, eating out more than eating at home."
The maid lady was a little embarrassed, but she nodded in agreement in the end. None of the three women asked Jenkins for his opinion, and of course Jenkins would not object.
Afterwards he mentioned taking the girls back to Privet Drive to meet their parents, and Alexia let him arrange as he pleased so they could meet the ladies of the house ahead of that dinner.
Then Jenkins asked Dolores about the Genesis Slate. At the Gem Party last year, Dolores had provided clues to Mr. Constantine. The point of no return for things.
"Yes, I remember that."
A smile appeared on Dolores' face, and she remembered clearly:
"The confrontation with Mr. Crazy Constantine, that was the first time we talked alone, right
I also heard about the Genesis Tablet by accident, so I can't guarantee its authenticity, and I don't even know what it is. I only know that a slab fragment has appeared near Nolan. If you want to know more, I will go to Loen tonight and check the previous letters. There should be records on it. "
Jenkins nodded when he heard the words. Although the Genesis Slate is of little value to him now, it is useful after all. After saying this, seeing that it was late and the ladies in the house had probably finished arguing, they planned to go back. But Alexia stopped him:
"So have you figured out how to spend your birthday?"
"My birthday?"
Jenkins was taken aback for a moment, only to remember that Alexia mentioned it some time ago:
"It doesn't matter, I can live however I want. Although I'm not married yet, I've already moved out of my home. I don't need to go back to Privet Drive for my birthday. I can probably just buy a cake for dinner. That way, the chocolate will be cheaper. .”
The cat in the house nodded reservedly, very satisfied with Jenkins' arrangement. Jenkins didn't care what birthday it was, because it wasn't his birthday at all.
"Why are you so hasty?"
Dolores said immediately.
"Wait a minute, I don't need a birthday party."
"Then at least everyone will have a meal together, and we will also give you a gift."
Her Royal Highness insisted, so Jenkins promised to invite everyone to dinner at home on his birthday, and promised not to make do with it.
The carriage took Alexia and Dolores away. It was already late at night, and they had to go back to rest. A few hours later, they had to attend the welcome ceremony of the King of Cheslan to Nolan.
Watching the carriage turn and disappear around the corner, Jenkins looked at Julia in a maid outfit again.
"Aren't you hot?"
He curiously asked the question he had been asking all along. Julia's uniform was not thin at all.
The maid shook her head and said that it was nothing. She and Jenkins were not strangers. Although they rarely met when Dolores was not around, they were still friends.
Taking the maid into the yard, Jenkins introduced the structure of his house to her, and explained that she didn't need to clean it, as long as she could make breakfast.
Putting his hand on the doorknob and trying to pull it away, he suddenly realized that it didn't seem like a good idea to let Julia into his house under the circumstances tonight, and he hadn't fully resolved the Britney matter .
But Jenkins, always a decisive man, just paused and opened the door. Both Hathaway and Britney were in the living room, startled when they heard the door open, they thought Jenkins was upstairs.
"I went out and talked about something."
His vague explanation led Brienne to guess that Jenkins had escaped through the window. Before she could ask, Jenkins let Julia in through the door. This was the first time for Hathaway and Britney to see Julia, and she knew she was a maid just by looking at her clothes, and she was quite beautiful in terms of appearance.
"She's the maid in the house."
Jenkins explained:
"Dolores came to see me just now and left her personal maid to take care of me. Anyway, she will be her family from now on."
Britney's face changed. She had heard about Jenkins and the Princess of the Northland from the newspapers, but she didn't expect to hear Jenkins admit it in person.
Originally, this matter had to wait for Hathaway's so-called "plan" to be implemented, but Jenkins no longer had that patience. The left and right Britney also knew something, so taking this opportunity tonight, they planned to have a complete showdown.
The cat heard that Jenkins was back, and ran down from the second floor happily. Jenkins caught it and smiled, and then asked the three ladies to sit down together. Julia did not refuse on the grounds of her own status. She knew what Dolores' dispatch and Alexia's acquiescence meant.
Hathaway wanted to say something, probably because it was difficult for Britney to accept all this. But Jenkins had made up his mind, and he didn't want to wait.
The story with Dolores and Alexia begins with the "pen pal letter" sent to the wrong address by the maid last autumn. Because of that simple math problem, Jenkins had the opportunity to establish contact with Dolores, and because of those letters, Dolores helped him publish a math book, so he had the opportunity to be in Alexia. When going to the Church of the Sage to attend classes, there is a chance to communicate with the short lady.
Of course all this sounds very romantic and has a sense of fateful encounter, but the premise is that the protagonist of the story is not his own man. Because Hathaway knew about it a long time ago, she didn't feel deeply about it, but Britney had mixed feelings in her heart. Of course he was annoyed, but counting the time, it was before he and Jenkins confirmed their relationship. It was hard to say who was earlier.
Looking at Hathaway's reaction, she knew that she had known about this for a long time, and her desire to yell at someone present became even stronger.
"So that's it."
The story is not long, and Jenkins explained it as concisely as possible to prevent further embarrassment for Britney.
"So who are you sleeping with now?"
There were no outsiders here, and Britney didn't have to worry about words.
Jenkins lowered his head and said three names in a low voice. Britney glanced at Hathaway. The red-haired girl stared at Jenkins's cat, but didn't look at her.
"So what are you going to do next?"
Goldilocks asked again.
"You are all my wings..."
Feeling that saying this would make him fall further into the abyss of scum, Jenkins put it another way:
"I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I don't intend to let go of anyone's hand. Yes, I don't want to sit in a rocking chair and lament who I gave up when I was young decades later. This is absolutely impossible. I plan to Becoming King of the Kingdom of Fidgetly and changing the laws a bit...it's not hard to do. I'm really sorry, Britney, but I want it all and I won't let anyone go."
Speaking of this, Jenkins has blushed, and he knows how shameful what he said is.
But hearing that Jenkins had his own plan, Britney subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became angry with herself again:
"I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
She said this to Jenkins with red eyes. Jenkins was a little worried that Britney would not be able to accept it, but Hathaway, who knew Britney's temper well, knew that tonight would probably be fine. Blonde girls are in big trouble if they sit there crying without saying a word.
"When I first met you at Papa's antique shop, I thought you were a shy young man. I didn't expect you to become what you are now in just one year."
Chocolat was very upset about others accusing Jenkins like this, but since Britney was right, and the cat also felt that Jenkins should not let more women into his home, so he did not stand up to defend Jenkins, but still lay on his lap Watch this funny scene.
PS: Regarding Britney's acceptance of Jenkins' "I want it all", she is not too angry. It shouldn't be a very abrupt plot, right? This chapter is 3k, please support and subscribe.
