Chelsea was a little surprised when she heard the eldest lady's order, but her face remained calm. She pushed down the glasses on the bridge of her nose and replied.
"It's going to take a while, ma'am, because there's a lot of overlap between the people I trust and the people he trusts."
"Well, be careful, there should be other people behind Ceres supporting him."
"Yes, thank you for your reminder." Then the head maid withdrew.
Roland Hill continued to sit on this small balcony, watching the beautiful night view of the harbor city. The quiet moonlight was reflected on the sea. As the waves rose and fell, the moonlight became broken, sparkling and rippling in the field of vision. She could even hear the sound of the sea lapping on the beach from afar, the soothing sound of the water, like a soft sleep music.
Serres was Angus' housekeeper and had been by his side for nearly ten years. In his early years, he was an aristocratic officer of the West Wind and went to the battlefield. It was a war between the west wind and the northern barbarians. The scale was small, and only some nobles in the north of the kingdom participated. Although the west wind won, it also lost a lot, so that it exposed its own weakness and could no longer completely suppress the chaotic forces in the territory.
Later, the nobles in the north shrunk in an all-round way, focusing on their castles and cities, and no longer care about some marginal villages. This also led to bandits running rampant, and mercenaries became popular in the north.
At that time, after Ceres retired, because he was not the eldest son and had no inheritance rights, he worked as a mercenary for a while, and happened to meet Angus who came to West Wind to do business. The two have many similar experiences. They were both born from a West-style aristocrat, and they were both unlucky second sons in their families. They both experienced many ups and downs. Later, Angus invited Serres to be his deputy, and finally he slowly became a card. Great butler of Lites. He was also one of the people Angus trusted most during his lifetime.
It's hard to imagine that such a person would betray, but Roland Hill did sense that something was wrong with the housekeeper.
First of all, when Mrs. Mela opened the door and saw Serres, she said 'you' and then changed her name to 'you'. At that time, Mela recognized Serres for the first time, and there was even a bit of tone in her tone. Fear, and later changed his mind.
"The Ronin from Douluo"
Secondly, when Mrs. Mera smashed the teacup and he stepped forward to pick up the pieces, his eyes and expressions were not so kind. At that time, he turned his back to Roland Hill. Maybe he thought that such a girl could not see, but in fact, Roland Hill Er noticed this from the reflection in Mrs. Mera's pupils.
Finally, when Lorraine Hill asked Ceres to investigate what happened ten years ago, his first reaction was to refuse. Although it was a euphemistic reminder, he may not have realized it himself. This was the first time he refuted the girl's instruction. , and this behavior should not occur in a good housekeeper.
After leaving Mrs. Mela's residence, Lorraine Hill asked him to investigate the past ten years ago. This is actually a test. If he doesn't know the truth, out of instinct, he should ask around for ten years. related people and events.
But if he already knew the truth, in order to continue to hide it, he would deliberately avoid some people and things, and instead act unnaturally. And these points he avoided would in turn remind Roland Hill. So no matter what he does, part of the truth will be exposed.
Roland Hill sat quietly on the wooden chair, and unconsciously tapped the teacup in his hand with his fingertips. Slight ripples appeared on the amber liquid, and at the same time, there was a subtle and crisp sound.
When did I become so scheming, she was suddenly thinking about this question, and she was a little scared and contradictory.
People are growing up slowly, and after experiencing many things, it is difficult to maintain the innocence and simplicity of children, because the reality is complex, cruel, and full of accidents.
She understands this point. In that age of information explosion, the stories that a person who has just grown up has seen, heard, and even experienced are unimaginable by people in this world. There are all kinds of strange plots and intrigue of countless characters. Strange cases of all kinds of suspenseful reasoning.
It may seem that outsiders cannot understand Serres' behavior, but Roland Hill has prepared twenty logical and reasonable reasons and plots for him, such as ethical revenge, hatred for love, and ten Years latent and so on. So much so that she was not surprised by what was wrong with Serres, and even a little curious.
What kind of distortions will there be in the heart of this excellent and resolute butler
Traveling on the road called life for too long, the prosperous scenery and ups and downs along the way, it is easy for people to gradually forget the original intention when they started.
But when Roland Hill found that he used some tactics without a teacher, he also felt a kind of alertness. scheming can be used as a temporary means and method, but blindly playing tricks will make people lose the courage to fight to the death, as well as the initial persistence and dreams in their hearts.
At the end of the day, due to the situation, it is understandable to use strategies. The weaker you are, the more you have to learn wisdom and planning. But with the slow growth of oneself, this kind of behavior gradually internalized into an instinct, always wanting to take shortcuts in everything, always wanting to achieve efficiency beyond ordinary people. When I see dull work and things, I don’t want to do it. I always measure whether it is cost-effective to do one thing, as if my whole life can be calculated.
It is undeniable that this is also a kind of power, but what is it for? Self-proclaimed smart, for the sake of profit, regardless of the bottom line, but as everyone knows, he has long forgotten the original intention when he started. When you put your most precious dreams on the scales, you are already committing a crime.
After drinking the cold tea slowly, Roland Hill decided to stop thinking about these intrigues for the time being. She didn't like to speculate on other people's complicated hearts, and she was more willing to do some practical things, so she went back to the room and closed the door and told The maids, she will rest early tonight, and then begin to perfect and practice her own transcendental sequence.
No matter how many intrigues and tricks the other party has, she will respond to all changes with the same strength and overcome all methods with one force. Strength is the constant truth of the world.
The transparent light blue pupils seem to have the light of emeralds flickering. Roland Hill's natural sequence has long since stabilized, but the focus has been on the demon sequence some time ago, and the journey has not stabilized, and today finally Take the time to advance to Natural Sequence 3.
In the sea of consciousness, an emerald green gem is like a bud waiting to bloom, with brilliance constantly flowing on it. As the girl concentrated her attention, countless mana slowly floated up from the sea of consciousness in a spiral shape, wrapping it around. , slowly integrate into it, constantly fill in and reinforce the structure, and begin to outline new lines and veins.
In the dark bedroom, bursts of emerald green fluorescence appeared on the girl's body. The hair that had been dyed golden by the extraordinary potion began to return to silver, and then dyed with a faint fluorescence, turning into a cyan between blue and green.
The bouquets on the dressing table also began to grow rapidly under this burst of fluorescence. The vines and buds protruded from the bottle and spread to the ceiling along the dressing mirror.
One, two, three.... more and more vines spread all over the ceiling until it was completely covered, and then along the walls, covering the wardrobes, beds, wooden chairs, tables, etc. These vines regarded Roland Hill as the sun in the dark, all the leaves were facing her, and the bursts of fluorescence emanating from the girl seemed to have some kind of magical power, giving these plants endless energy and stimulation.
When Roland Hill finished his promotion and opened his eyes, he was greeted with a scene like a fairy tale.
Emerald green plants filled the entire bedroom, the green branches and leaves stretched quietly, and flowers protruded and bloomed among the green leaves. These flowers are blue, light red, and bright yellow. The stamens in the flowers have a natural sequence of magic, which emits a faint light in the bedroom at night, like a small night light, which illuminates the bedroom and looks peaceful and harmonious. .
