I'm a heartthrob in the wizarding world [Western Fantasy Elf]
Chapter 36 Southern Territory
"We're here to deliver the pre-ordered desserts." Alexa called to the door.
A small window was opened in the side door, and a head with a braid wrapped in a white ribbon poked out, looking around.
Seeing Ye Qimeng and Alexa, she asked with some confusion: "Are they the dill cookies and jam tarts that Connor bought at the market yesterday?"
This is a young elf girl. She looks somewhat similar to the middle-aged elf maid who came to buy desserts at the market that day. She only has some small freckles on her face, but it cannot hide her beautiful appearance.
"Yes, there are also some canned jams and triangular cheeses delivered together." Alexa stepped forward and explained.
"Ah, okay. Then come in through the side door and I will open the door for you."
After the elf girl finished speaking, she retracted her head. The window on the small side door was quickly closed with a bang, and there was the sound of keys clanging behind the door.
Ye Qimeng and Alexa walked to the side door and waited patiently for a long time as the elf girl inside looked a little fussy.
The small side door was finally opened by the elf girl, and Ye Qimeng also saw her whole body.
She should be wearing a uniform elf maid outfit, with her braid meticulously tied behind her head, and two beautiful bows tied with white ribbons. The figure is the most common among elves, slender and tall, and he also has a very cute little face.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I just joined the job and haven't tried to open this door yet." She turned sideways and whispered to them, her tone gentle and friendly.
Then she changed her pretending serious look, signaled with her hand that Ye Qimeng and Alexa could come in, and continued: "Please come with me, my name is Roz."
Alexa nodded and followed Rose's instructions into Colin Anthony's old mansion. Upon seeing this, Ye Qimeng quickly followed.
Behind them, Rose closed the iron door. She seemed to be a little impatient, probably because she was a newbie who had just taken up the job.
Along the way, Rose led them forward. Ye Qimeng looked at the way the bow on Rose's braid swayed with her steps, and couldn't help but think of the cute girls in anime.
So she leaned into Alexa's ear and asked curiously: "Is this elf maid also a puppet? Why does she have no wings? It seems that the elf maid at the market that day also had no wings?"
"These should be ordinary elves hired by the Anthony family. After all, there are not so many elves to inherit. In addition, the price of making puppet servants is very high, so it is more cost-effective to hire ordinary elves." Lexa also quietly explained to her.
"That's it." Ye Qimeng suddenly realized.
Rose said that she was a new domestic servant, but she seemed to be very familiar with the other members of the Anthony family. Whether they were the gardener, the cook, or the cleaner, she could accurately call out their names and chat with them. They greeted each other warmly.
This mansion is not very big, but it is well-equipped and employs many ordinary elves. Their faces are filled with happy and contented smiles, and it seems that working here is a good job.
Ye Qimeng felt that she was very relaxed here. She didn't feel as nervous as when she was shopping in Baiyan City. She was afraid that if she accidentally exposed her identity as a human being, she would be thrown out of the city by the guards guarding the city.
But Ye Qimeng still refused Rose's request to put her white robe aside on the shelf.
Alexa helped her explain that it was because her face was burned and she was afraid of scaring them, so she refused to take off her big hood. Simple Rose also accepted this somewhat awkward reason.
Ye Qimeng originally thought that Rose would take them to a kitchen in the basement, hand over these desserts to the elf maid, and then leave.
Unexpectedly, Rose took them to a room on the top floor. She said that the wife saw that they had something to do and asked them to wait in this room for a while. If the wife was satisfied, she might even buy more desserts for them.
Ye Qimeng readily agreed to Rose's request. After all, who would have trouble with money?
Rose gave them two cups of black tea and some snacks, and then asked the other maids to take the desserts out of the big bamboo baskets, place them neatly on the silver tray, cover them with silver covers, and take them out one by one.
Following Alex's lesson last time, Ye Qimeng didn't dare to eat other people's food at will. He didn't even touch the black tea in the ceramic cup. Alexa had a clear understanding with her and didn't touch anything on the table.
Speaking of which, this room was a bit strange, and Ye Qimeng's always keen intuition had already noticed the strangeness.
This is a small room with only a few dozen square meters, and the center of the room is empty. There was only a small table and two soft velvet chairs on the wall next to the door. At this time, the two of them were sitting on the chairs bored and talking to each other.
More than half of the wall they faced was inlaid with a square mirror, and their every move could be clearly seen from above. This reminded Ye Qimeng of the school's dance classroom, which also had a similar layout.
Suddenly, Ye Qimeng stood up somewhat mysteriously, stood up and approached the mirror, poked the mirror with his finger, and murmured to himself: "Isn't there someone on the back of this mirror who is secretly observing us?"
After saying that, she took off her hood and made a face in the mirror, then quickly put the hood back on, returned to her original position as if nothing had happened, and sat down obediently.
"There shouldn't be anyone who wants to observe us." Alexa guessed: "But the layout of this room is indeed a bit strange. Generally, elves would not install such a large mirror in their homes."
At this time, the old elf who was eating jam pie behind the mirror couldn't sit still. He was almost shocked by Ye Qimeng's grimace. I thought to myself that it was because I was getting older and my heart couldn't bear too many blows.
"Father, why is it that a human is making these desserts? Are you sure your sense of taste is correct?" An obviously younger elf woman questioned the old man in front of her.
"The taste of this dessert is indeed exactly the same as the one I tasted at Duke White's Mansion when I was young. I didn't expect that I could still taste this special taste after so many years."
The old elf put another dill biscuit into his mouth and chewed it with relish.
"Is it the girl with sapphire eyes next to you? She looks more like Duke White's daughter." The elf woman looked up and down at Alexa's delicate face, and couldn't help but sigh: "This elegant sitting posture should be that of a noble. That’s right, young lady.”
"Lola, don't forget, the girl we saw in the church that day had black hair." The old elf reminded her.
The elf woman named Lola was a little surprised and said: "Even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she will not be a pure-blooded human with black hair and black eyes! Doesn't this just coincide with the regicide prophecy..."
"Shh... Lola, that prophecy is not something that can be mentioned easily, and you know whose side our Anthony family is on. My brother told us before going to the Serpent Strait to protect the White family."
The old elf made a silent gesture to Lola, warning her that the prophecy was a secret that could not be told.
"Father, then we should..." Lola thought thoughtfully, waiting for the next instruction from the old elf.
But Rose opened the door, stuck her little head tied with a white bow in, and said, "Mrs. Lola, Mr. Hollin, they are already waiting in the room."
"Rose, didn't I ask you to knock on the door before coming in? Why are you acting so recklessly? It seems like Connor needs to teach you some etiquette."
Lola's tone was a bit reproachful, and she asked by the way: "Tell the two girls that you won't see them today, but you can make an order for 5000 silver coins and let them come here often to deliver desserts."
"Okay, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Anthony, I will remember it next time."
After saying this, Rose stretched her head back and carefully closed the door.
"Lola, Rose is still a child, and she is not evil-minded." The old elf named Huo Lin smiled and persuaded Lola: "But if you ask them to come often to deliver desserts, it can be regarded as a way to monitor their movements. A good way to protect them.”
"Father, you will spoil these new children." Lola said aggrievedly.
"I'm getting old too, and the task of guarding White Flame City may have to be handed over to you in the future. After all, Xiulin has been dead for so many years, and it's really difficult for you to still guard this family, Lola. "
Huo Lin lamented that his son followed Colin to the Serpent Strait, and his life or death was uncertain. Now he has accepted the death of his brother and son.
"Father, this is the mission of the Anthony family. I will definitely protect White Flame City and the descendants of the White family." Lola swore to him.
She glanced at Ye Qimeng on the other side of the mirror, thoughtfully.
Five minutes later, Ye Qimeng received the news that his wife was not available to see them and only said that she was very satisfied with their desserts. Rose paid another 5000 silver coins as a deposit and asked them to deliver desserts every three days, and they happily accepted this large order.
Rose sent them to the door of the villa and left. Walking straight ahead from the road was the side door that had been opened for them, while Rose hurried to the kitchen to do other things.
This maid is really fickle in her work, but she is a little unexpectedly cute.
Ye Qimeng thought.
She and Alexa walked happily on the wide stone road, with a bamboo basket filled with heavy silver coins in their hands, which made her feel happy and satisfied.
It seems that now I finally have the money to take a break from the long-forgotten magic zoo.
"Danger, get out of the way!"
A warning not far away suddenly woke up Ye Qimeng's brain, which was immersed in beautiful fantasies.
