Chapter 57 57 The Lost Loyal Servant
Chapter 57 -57- The Lost Loyal Servant
Charlotte didn't expect that she would meet her former self when she came to the outer city to select a new servant on a whim.
The middle-aged couple was very excited after seeing the girl. Charlotte gradually figured out their identities through their almost incoherent narration.
In general, the male and female owners of this employment agency were once extraordinary people who were loyal to the Castel family!
Old Frank used to be a first-level combat mage of the Stars who served in the Boulder Mage Corps, and was even given the title of Baron by Charlotte's father.
And his wife, Lady Mina, was a combat maid who was given the Seed of Source Power and promoted to the Knight of the Stars.
At the same time, Lady Mina was also the head maid of the Castel Manor ten years ago, and she was loyal to the Castel family for generations.
She was also Charlotte's mother's personal maid, and also a etiquette teacher who taught Charlotte's mother the etiquette of the Crescent Kingdom.
That's right, Charlotte's mother is not from the Crescent Kingdom.
Her mother is from the Falling Star Kingdom, and she seems to have a very good background.
It's just that because the Star-Moon War, which originated from the succession war of the New Moon Kingdom, lasted for nearly eighty years, the two countries across the sea, New Moon and Falling Star, almost became mortal enemies, so this secret was buried.
Few people know it, and few people mention it.
Even the maid Lady Mina only knows that her master has a high birth in the Falling Star Kingdom.
Charlotte knows that her mother is from the Falling Star Kingdom.
Of course, she doesn't know more details.
But this just happens to match Lady Mina's identity!
Even the Castel family knows this secret, which means that the other party was really a maid of the Castel family!
And as the two excitedly told the story, some long-standing and vague information in Charlotte's inherited memory slowly emerged as if it was reawakened.
When the girl was very young, it seemed that there was indeed a maid named Mina.
Not only that, at that time, Castel Manor was still the temporary headquarters of the Boulder Mage Corps.
In Charlotte's revived memory, she seemed to often see mages in robes coming and going in the manor. Many mages of civilian origin would choose to marry the maids of the Castel family.
However, after the Balrog disaster ten years ago, Charlotte's parents died in the battle with the Balrog, and the Bolder Mage Corps was disbanded.
Many faces have not been seen since then.
"Uncle Frank, Aunt Mina."
"I heard from Quasimodo that after the Balrog disaster, many extraordinary people who were loyal to the family were sent back to the family territory. Why are you here? And... you have lost your power?"
Charlotte considered her words and asked in confusion.
Looking at the girl's pure and flawless big eyes, Frank and Mina looked at each other, looking a little lonely.
"Because... we are sinners of the Castel family and unclean people. Losing power is our punishment..."
Old Frank sighed and said.
"Sinners?"
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
"Yes... During the Fire Demon Disaster, we did not fulfill our duty to protect our master, and we were contaminated by the power of the Fire Demon..."
"In order to purify the pollution on our bodies, we lost our power. Because of our poor protection, we were driven out of the family by the angry old lady."
As if she remembered the sad past, Mrs. Mina sighed sadly.
Was it the old witch who drove them out of the family?
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
Then, she was slightly angry.
Excuses!
They are all excuses of the old witch!
What poor protection?
She has asked Quasimodo and Nice. The Fire Demon Valarroca summoned ten years ago is a legend!
What kind of protection is there under that kind of power! It's good enough to survive! Many people died!
Not to mention, in the memory inherited by Charlotte, it was not poor protection at all, but her parents took the initiative to stand up and fight the Fire Demon!
Charlotte's parents are both third-level Blazing Sun, how could they need the protection of first-level Stars?
It was obvious that the crazy old witch was taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and clear out all the servants who were truly loyal to the Castel family!
Ten years have passed, and the Franks are still so loyal, which is a clear proof!
No wonder...
No wonder the Castel family has almost no loyal servants left, leaving only a marginalized Quasimodo.
Charlotte has always been wondering, even if the old countess sent all the extraordinary people in the family back to the territory, there should be some loyal people who would insist on staying.
After all, the Countess of Castel is not a member of the Castel family. She just changed her husband's surname. There will always be loyal subjects who are worried about the young Charlotte.
It turns out that this is the reason...
Those diehards of the Castel family either died in the Fire Demon Disaster or lost their power and were driven out of the family by the old witch!
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte sighed:
"No, you are not wrong."
"You have never forgotten your original intention, it is the Castel family that has let you down."
"Lord Charlotte..."
After hearing the girl's words, both of them had red eyes.
At this moment, Charlotte found that her proficiency in the power technique she continued to release had actually increased slightly!
The girl was slightly moved by the loyalty and obsession that Frank and his wife showed to the Castel family.
Because if they didn't have a strong obsession, they wouldn't have aroused the reaction of the majestic technique just because of their light words.
In other words, Charlotte's just sorry words directly and completely inspired the loyalty buried deep in the couple's hearts!
They are loyal servants!
The lost loyal servant of the Castel family!
Charlotte had the answer in her mind.
"Uncle Frank, Aunt Mina, how many people in the outer city are there who were forced to leave the family just like you?"
After pondering for a moment, she asked softly.
Old Frank sighed:
"There are many..."
As he said that, he looked at Sebas gratefully:
"I would also like to thank Mr. Sebas. Those of us lost our strength and our bodies were almost disabled. It was Mr. Sebas who took us in."
"Now, under the protection of the Rose Society, we have all found jobs in the outer city and can barely survive..."
Sebas?
Charlotte subconsciously looked back at the would-be housekeeper standing behind her.
Sebastian coughed dryly and quickly explained:
"It just happens. As you know, Master, people like Mr. Frank and Ms. Mina, even if they lose their power, their experience and knowledge are still very valuable."
"Gold will shine wherever it is. For the Rose Club, they are all precious talents."
Charlotte looked deeply at Sebastian, noncommittal.
Then, she looked at the old faces of the couple, the two beautiful little girls hiding behind the stairs and peeking at her, and the expressionless beautiful girl standing behind the couple...
After thinking for a while, Charlotte said:
"Uncle Frank, Aunt Mina, have you ever thought about... returning to the family?"
"Grandma has already fallen. She even wanted to kill me. Her expulsion of you was originally illegal."
"If you are willing, the door to Castle Manor is always open for you."
After hearing the girl's words, Old Frank was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited almost instantly:
"We would like to...well..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Mrs. Mina.
The former head maid was silent for a few seconds, then forced out an apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry...Ms. Charlotte."
"Although we really want to return to the family, we are also very satisfied with our current life."
"After so many years, we are... tired, so..."
"Feel sorry……"
She lowered her head guiltily.
Charlotte was a little surprised by Mrs. Mina's words.
Although she was a little regretful, since the other party declined, she no longer forced it.
"Okay, I was abrupt, sorry."
Charlotte sighed.
The strong-willed melon is not sweet, and the couple are not too young anymore. She can understand that they want to stay away from right and wrong and live in their old age.
only……
It was so embarrassing to be rejected in person!
Charlotte felt that the atmosphere in the whole room was tense.
"Haha, Frank, we've almost finished reminiscing about the past. Let's get back to the topic. We came to you today to hire some new servants for the master."
Sebastian said with a smile to break the weird atmosphere.
After listening to his words, Old Frank perked up.
He was about to say something, but was pulled back by Mrs. Mina.
"Lord Charlotte, I wonder what kind of servant you want to hire?"
She asked respectfully and yet distantly, completely different from the excitement just now.
"Newcomers, I want some newcomers with clean backgrounds and newcomers who have never done anything for other nobles."
"Of course, it would be best if you have already received certain training."
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said.
Old Frank's eyes lit up again almost instantly.
But he was soon pulled back by his wife.
"Your requirements are not strict. I think... we should be able to find the people you need. I wonder how many people you need?"
Mrs. Mina asked respectfully.
"About fifty people."
Charlotte replied.
"Fifty people..."
Mrs. Mina pondered, as if she was calculating something. After a moment, she pulled Old Frank to his feet:
"I see."
"Please wait here for a moment while Frank and I go upstairs to look for relevant information."
After saying that, she said to the beautiful girl standing on one side:
"Shirley, warm up a glass of milk for Lady Charlotte."
After saying that, Mina forcibly pulled Old Frank upstairs.
How come everyone in the world knows that I like to drink milk?
Looking at the beautiful girl who was silently preparing hot milk, Charlotte couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
…
Mrs. Mina pulled old Frank up to the second floor.
As soon as he went upstairs, Old Frank broke away from his wife's hand angrily:
"Mina! What were you doing just now? Why did you reject Lady Charlotte!"
"Aren't you the one who wants to return to the manor day and night? Aren't you the one who dreams about going back every day?"
"Not to mention...even if it's for Shirley, we have to return to the family!"
"Shirley has awakened her dual talents. Without huge financial support, she will not be able to support her future development."
"And this...only the great Castel can do it!"
Just as he finished speaking, he was slightly stunned, because he saw that his wife had already burst into tears, and she was not as calm as she was downstairs just now.
Mrs. Mina wiped her red eyes and whispered:
"Frank... do you think I don't want to?"
"I also want to return to Castel Manor, and I also want to return to Lady Charlotte's side..."
"That's my little master. When she was still very young, I helped her learn to walk..."
"But... we are no longer the same as we used to be..."
"We are old, we have lost our strength, and we have been labeled as polluted because of the Fire Demon Disaster..."
"In order to survive over the years, we have also done a lot of dirty work for the Rose Society. These things are not secrets, and it is very likely that It may become a handle for other nobles and even the church to attack Castel and Shirley. "
"We are no longer qualified to return to the manor. We will only become a burden to Castel, a stain on the family, and a burden to Shirley..."
"We... can't go back to the past."
Old Frank stared at his wife who was crying, and was a little depressed for a while:
"Then... what about Shirley..."
"Are you... going to let her become one of those wandering extraordinary people who are in danger of losing their jobs every day?"
Mrs. Mina suddenly raised her head, her eyes were more determined than ever, and her expression was more excited than ever:
"No, Shirley..." Shirley is different."
"Perhaps we can't stand proudly behind the master again, but Shirley can..."
"For so many years, we have been passing on our lifelong learning to Shirley, isn't it for this day?"
"Those of us who follow and serve the Castel family are interdependent with the family... The family needs us, and we also need the family."
"For so many days, you and I have been paying attention to the developments of the Castel Manor, and you must be very clear about the difficult situation of the young master."
"The young master came to the outer city in person, it must be that there is really no one available... …”
“She needs our strength, and it is time for us to give it to her! At the same time, this is Shirley’s chance to return to the family instead of us!”
“Shirley will return to the family, and she will have a brighter future. Perhaps one day in the future, she will even be able to follow her master and marry a good family, or even get a title!”
“And we…can’t be a burden to her!”
“Frank, go tell everyone the news that Lady Charlotte has come to the outer city.”
“Tell everyone that Castel is here, tell them that the opportunity for the children to return to the family has come!”
Mrs. Mina was excited.
Downstairs, Charlotte, who had sharp senses, also sighed and slowly withdrew her gaze from the second floor.
Her eyes were full of emotion.
They…are not only loyal servants.
They are also parents who are working hard for their children’s future.
