"Just now… "
The idea of lying disappeared in a flash, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the ground, but they returned to normal immediately. Julia knew what consequences her words would have, but she had sworn that she would never deceive her princess.
"Mr. Williams came over just now and invited me to a dinner party..."
Even if she made up her mind to tell the truth, she still hesitated, and every time she uttered a word, she would consider the possible consequences. While telling what happened that night, he never looked up into the eyes of the girl in front of him.
Ever since she left the slums in Lower Loen City, Julia Minnevik has not encountered such embarrassing and embarrassing scenes for many years. She obviously made the most correct choice, but she still has to face such a situation matter.
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the mirror of the dressing table. The maid with her head bowed in the mirror looked like a little girl who had made a mistake.
"The Williams family dinner..."
She lowered her head and heard Dolores' big inhalation and panting before saying this. Following Dolores all the year round, she is well aware of Her Royal Highness's mood at the moment.
The last time she had a similar experience was when Her Royal Highness missed an extremely important C-category [Gift] transaction in order to attend the birthday party of her friend, the daughter of the Duke of Layer.
"Williamette..."
The situation this time is even more special than the last time. Although I missed that gift, it is not necessary to get it, but Julia knows that Her Highness the Princess is bound to get it for Mr. Williams.
"You did the right thing, Julia. Rather than letting Mr. Williams invite other women, it is the most correct choice for you to participate instead of me."
There was something wrong with the point in that sentence, but Julia knew she shouldn't point it out.
"I originally thought that a man like Mr. Williams should have a lot of female friends around him, but I didn't expect him to be in such a state now."
With Dolores' intelligence, it is easy to guess the situation Jenkins is currently facing from this incident.
"And took the initiative to bring you to his home. I think the Church of the Sages will also launch an investigation... This is very good, this is a very good opportunity, it seems that I will find time to visit for a suitable reason..."
This is a serious tone, at least it means that Dolores is not angry.
Wanting to understand this, Julia raised her head to look at her highness, and then carefully took off the jewelry on her body.
"No, it's fine if you wear it."
Dolores shook her head and said, taking the initiative to sit on Julia's bed. Although the little maid's room was better than that of other servants, it was only a one-bedroom room with a small cubicle. After entering the door, there was a desk, bed and dressing table.
Dolores added: "The next time you see Mr. Williams, I don't think he'll take those jewels back if you wanted to. So go find a nice case and keep it, It's a rare thing...beautiful."
She was still a little angry, but she refused to show it out of face. Julia wanted to laugh, but she had been trained to stop laughing.
"Dolores, Julia, are you here?"
There was another sound outside the door, and then the door was pushed open for the second time. Since the servants did not stop her, the only woman who could enter the door like this could be Alexia who returned from the tower. The time was past midnight, and she came back quickly,
"Oh, you're all here, that's all. I hear there's been some serious progress in the trial of Howard Stuart?"
The short lady saw Julia's unusual attire as soon as she entered. Unlike Miss Stuart, she could figure out what happened without asking.
He let the door behind him close naturally, and there was no problem with his tone of voice. Alexia is always calm, even at a certain moment Julia noticed a crack in the mirror beside it but it was repaired miraculously.
The gas lamp above the head flickered strangely, but looking at the calm face of the short lady, the princess and the maid thought it was the problem caused by the old gas lamp.
"How was the result of the interrogation? Did he know that the Duke of Antak, who was visiting Nolan, was surrounded by strange people? Oh, Julia, you are so beautiful today."
"Mr. Williams is going to invite a girl today. The time I offered to visit the tower happened to be today, and the last one invited was my maid..."
It is of course a coincidence that these things appeared in the mind of the young princess in an instant, and Her Royal Highness did not know about it in advance, but she still had to explain it. Dolores knew that her teacher had always been a calm person and never liked corporal punishment, but she still needed to explain some things.
"Ms. Alexia..."
She lowered her head and said, her voice was aggrieved and soft, like a little girl who made a mistake. That appearance was exactly the same as Julia just now.
(Chocolate is running... )
On Friday morning, Dad visited St. George's Avenue while Jenkins was out in his pajamas to pick up the newspaper. He was just in time for breakfast, and Jenkins didn't mind frying a few extra eggs.
It's been a week, and Dad still looks very energetic. When I saw Jenkins, I gave him a warm hug, and laughed loudly at the old Jack who sent a letter this morning, complaining that Jenkins had caused a lot of trouble to the Shire parish during his week in Shire.
"Ha, I knew it would happen. He himself didn't pre-estimate the danger of the matter."
The old man smiled so happily that he didn't even notice that the buttons on his coat were buttoned wrong, nor did he mention that Jenkins met the Duke of Antak yesterday afternoon.
He had come to Jenkins to take him straight to the Evergreen Forest for his baptism. The church's convoy arrived at around eight o'clock, and my father came first when he had nothing to do.
Speaking of which, this is already the "third" baptism of Jenkins. Although it has not been successful, Jenkins is already familiar with the steps and precautions, and there is no need for his father to remind him.
So during breakfast, the two kept talking about the new things that happened to Nolan during the week Jenkins left. Most of them are related to the skull sword.
The current situation is even more serious than Jenkins imagined. The resurgence and killing of the undead has actually begun to affect the normal operation of the city.
Dad gave an example of what happened last night. The big explosion in the Black Forest could be heard throughout the city. Even if the newspaper this morning used "Underground Coal Mine Gas Explosion" as the front page headline, and fully explained that this kind of thing would not happen in the urban area, it still caused panic among the citizens.
"It was really scary. Chocolate and I fell asleep at the time. When I was awakened by the explosion, Chocolate got scared and went straight into my quilt."
Jenkins nodded and said, not noticing that his cat was "carving" the surface of the egg he had just peeled with its claws.
"Scruw Pompeii got into a fight with someone. The scene at the scene was like being attacked by a meteorite. I knew that Nolan still had a lot of powerful gifters hidden, but most of the time these people were busy with boring things."
Dad said so.
Jenkins thought for a while, and according to his understanding, Miss Magic is currently preparing to hunt down the Pirate King Fermisio, and this is not a "boring thing".
When Jenkins left the city, the local church's pursuit of the skull sword was not without progress. Although the progress they have made is not worth mentioning compared to the achievements of the Shire Parish, at least the line of [Living Corpse Gem] is very clear.
"Through divination and the cooperation of the police department, as well as some special means, the whereabouts of the living corpse treasure jade after the massacre in the suburbs of the city is basically clear. We have caught the key criminals on the black market in the past few days, and one of them knows Skrull Pompeii. I think it's only a matter of time before we find his hideout in Nolan."
"And the thrift store that sold numbered items? Any follow-up findings, I remember the name of the store was [Carmel's Thrift Store]."
"There is no news for the time being. That thrift shop is as troublesome as the skull sword. We even found out that the vampires last year were also related to that thrift shop. Let’s deal with Kamal’s matter. Sage, please bless this city!”
Jenkins believes that the sages have always protected the city, otherwise, it would be unreasonable for so many accidents to happen here, but the citizens can still live peacefully and happily.
This kind of peaceful day itself is the product of miracles stacked up one after another. From this perspective, maybe the eyes of the righteous gods have really been paying attention to this place all the time.
"Speaking of which, the girl you brought home last night was fun, but she..."
The old man finally brought up this topic, and Jenkins thought about it, intending to hear the church's attitude towards the maids he knew in a distant foreign country.
"But she seems to be a year older than you, right? Does Mary know about this? I know Miss Minnewick looks very young, but your mother seems to find it difficult to accept that her son is marrying an older woman , I heard Bishop Parode mention this matter."
This is just a traditional concept in Nolan City. After jumping out of Nolan, people don't care about the age of their wives—unless there is a difference of more than ten years.
"It's okay, my father and mother are very happy that I can bring the beautiful girl home, and they don't raise too many questions about Julia's age."
"That's good. Have you talked to Robert? Miss Minnewick is a foreigner?"
Looking up at Dad's expression, he didn't show any extra meaning.
