Chapter 427 Returning the Book
Kevin has been working diligently for a few days since he took up the part-time job as the administrator of the Royal Archives.
In his spare time, he eagerly read the various books in the archives. Except for some royal private records, most of the books are open to management personnel.
I thought there would be a lot of people here, but it was deserted for several days in a row. It seems that the children of the royal family are not particularly studious.
But this just happened to satisfy Kevin's heart, so that he has more free time to study.
That day, his superior gave him a tough job, copying a damaged ancient scroll. Kevin was busy from morning to noon, and his wrist was sore from exhaustion. The supervisor gave very strict requirements. The new book to be copied must be neatly written, word for word, and no traces of smearing and outlining can be made.
This really made Kevin suffer. He was not a professional copyist. Sometimes he accidentally wrote a wrong word and the whole paper was invalidated.
Kevin was busy until noon and only copied one-fifth of the work. His stomach was already rumbling, so he decided to go out and fill his stomach first.
He stood up and looked at his morning work, sighed and said, "It would be great if there was a printing press here."
"Printing press? What is a printing press?"
A female voice came from not far away.
Is someone coming?
Kevin raised his head and looked outside the door.
A cute and lovely girl walked in.
Kevin asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The girl raised her head proudly and introduced herself: "I am the granddaughter of the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Dias, and the cousin of His Highness Felix - Lady Vivian Dias, why don't you salute me quickly."
"Hello, Miss Vivian."
Kevin saluted her stiffly.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"
The girl pouted: "Hey, you haven't told me what a printing press is!"
"Oh, sorry." Kevin quickly introduced to her: "A printing press is a machine that can easily print the typeset text on paper by applying a kind of ink called ink, and then bind it into a book, without having to copy it word by word by hand."
The girl's eyes turned, and she touched her chin and said: "Interesting, if there is such a machine, wouldn't all the copyists in the world be unemployed."
Kevin shrugged: "Maybe."
The prime minister's granddaughter frowned: "You are not lying to me, if there is such a machine, why have I never seen or heard of it before."
Kevin quickly explained: "This machine has only been invented a few years ago, and it is It will probably take a long time for Aldo, which is thousands of miles away, to reach Gabela. "
The girl covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Oh, it's my second aunt's country, which is... really far away."
Then she whispered, "Huh, such a good thing was made by Aldo."
Kevin heard it and complained in his heart, "There are many new things you haven't seen in Aldo."
He picked up the notebook on the table for recording and said with some boasting, "This kind of paper is also from Aldo."
This time Vivian ignored him, but shouted outside with some displeasure, "Ms. Coleridge, aren't you coming here to do business?"
Kevin then noticed that there was another person not far away, dressed as a court lady. After hearing Vivian's call, the other party slowly walked over. Kevin felt a little familiar, and seemed to have seen her figure somewhere.
Ms. Coleridge had a veil on her face. As she came to the table, Kevin saw her face clearly.
What a beautiful face, this was Kevin's first impression.
Then he was surprised to notice that the other person had white hair, even her eyebrows were white.
And although the lady's skin color was as white as milk, it was the normal white color, which could be judged that she did not suffer from some disease that Kevin knew.
It was amazing. Kevin had seen black hair, blonde hair, brown hair, and red hair, but he had never seen a young person with white hair. It was rumored that there was a female advisor with green hair around Earl Graman, but Kevin had never seen it.
Seeing Kevin's dazed look, Ms. Coleridge seemed to be accustomed to this reaction and did not show any displeasure.
She reminded gently: "Mr. Administrator, I'm here to return the book."
"Oh, sorry, I'll do it for you right away."
Kevin hurriedly found the borrowing record and searched through it.
"Please sign here."
Vivian, who was standing by, saw Kevin like this and said disdainfully: "Humph, all men are the same."
Just when Ms. Coleridge was about to hand the book to Kevin, she suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
Then she grabbed the book and flipped through it. Kevin felt distressed by her rough method.
She flipped through the book and shook it, but found nothing. She threw it on the table, which made Kevin confused and didn't understand why she did it.
After the formalities were completed, Ms. Coleridge smiled and said to the prime minister's granddaughter: "Miss Vivian, are you going to follow me?"
"Of course!" Vivian's eyes widened, "I will keep watching you until you show your true colors."
"Although I don't know why Brother Felix trusts you so much, my intuition tells me that you have a problem, hum!"
Kevin looked at the two of them with a wry smile. It seemed that the relationship between the two women was not very harmonious. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it seemed that the subconscious hostility of a beautiful woman towards another beautiful woman was aroused.
Ms. Coleridge smiled helplessly, as if she was facing an unreasonable child.
"Then you can follow me. I still have a lot of work to do."
She turned gracefully and walked out the door, and Vivian followed angrily.
However, at the moment when Ms. Coleridge turned around, Kevin's eyes caught her expression at that moment.
Cold and indifferent.
As if matching the silver-white snow-white hair, it made people feel like they were in an ice cellar.
Was her gentle words and smile just now all fake?
Wait, Kevin remembered what Vivian had said just now, Brother Felix? Isn't that the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor?
Kevin met that prince when he first followed his mentor and senior into the palace.
There was a court lady following him, and it seemed... it seemed to be Ms. Coleridge.
No wonder I felt familiar when we first met.
"Well, it's important to fill my stomach, and I have to hurry back to copy books!"
Kevin shook his head, drove out the court politics he had read in the novel, and walked out quickly.
