I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Sorry for coming back late. I'm a bit stupid and it took me a while to learn how to make tea with Master Doyle." As if she knew it would be difficult to explain if she delayed any further, Marian could only pull Doyle back.

Marianne was secretly observing the states of Manjushage and Luo Shiqi, but unfortunately the two were too reserved. They neither secretly held hands nor took the opportunity to hug each other, which really depressed Marianne who was anxious to watch the show.

As for Doyle, he seemed to be concerned about other things, so he was absent-minded the whole time. He didn't even notice that the water spilled when he was making tea, and he didn't pay any attention to the subtle atmosphere between the two people.

"Wow, Marianne, you are quite good at cooking."

Seeing Marianne, Lycoris radiata felt as if she had seen a savior. She hurriedly took the hot tea and took a big gulp. She originally wanted to relieve her inner tension, but she didn't expect that this cup of tea was brewed to such a high standard.

The tea is warm, smooth in taste, refreshing and fragrant at first, and leaves a long aftertaste. Such an excellent cup of tea does not seem to be something that can be brewed in the first time.

"Were you good at doing these before?" Manjushage asked curiously.

As Doyle said before, Marianne was born in an ordinary family and should not have the opportunity to come into contact with these things. However, seeing how polite and methodical she is, she can easily make a cup of tea so well, which even ordinary landlords and gentry may not be able to do.

In addition, she was in such a miserable state when she first appeared in the castle. It is hard to imagine that an ordinary person would go through this.

Doyle should know something, but seeing that he has been distracted since just now, he probably can't say anything useful.

Speaking of which, the maids in the castle seemed to have mentioned during their conversation that when they first arrived, they were all pale and thin due to years of hard work, hunger and cold clothes. It took them a long time to recuperate before they were able to show the vitality and energy that they should have at this age.

Marianne, however, somehow managed to look slender but not frail, and she showed no sign of suffering at all, except perhaps the bloody, dying look she had in the carriage.

Logically speaking, Marianne was in good health and should have lived a good life in the past, but why was she loaded into a freight carriage covered in blood?

Just as Cora said, if the cargo on that truck was not soft cloth, or if there was a slight accident and Marianne had not received timely treatment, she would probably have died on the spot.

It was obvious that Marian had encountered something terrible, but she couldn't remember anything after losing her memory. Otherwise, she should at least have taken precautions to prevent something like this from happening again.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Manjushage can clearly feel that the aura of shadow magic on Marian is becoming stronger and stronger. This is not a characteristic that an ordinary person would have.

She looked at Marianne and always felt that the girl in front of her looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

"Ms. Manjusawa, is there something on my face?" Marian was a little nervous being stared at like that.

"I just think you are really good at making tea." Manjushage praised.

The Kingdom of Aslan is not suitable for growing tea. Most people who like to drink tea are either rich or noble. Not to mention that Marian's craftsmanship is quite outstanding. It is no coincidence that she can make good tea.

According to Lycoris Radiata, Marianne was well-mannered, gentle and quiet, but she did not behave like an ordinary rich girl. It was very likely that she was of a mediocre background as Doyle said, and was treated well later.

Or you may be lucky enough to be appreciated by a rich young man and marry into a wealthy aristocratic family.

Otherwise, only the nouveau riche will remain.

Suddenly becoming rich and acquiring a large amount of property, and just beginning to learn etiquette and manners, this obviously fits Marianne's image better.

In this case, the reason why she appeared in the freight carriage in such a miserable state was probably because of jealousy and conspiracy.

Unfortunately, when she first arrived, Manjushage's attention was all focused on Luo Shiqi. By the time she realized that she should send someone to investigate Marian, heavy snow had blocked all the passages.

However, speaking of snow, there is also someone in the castle who is worried about the heavy snow.

It was Ruth Marie.

She originally thought that after getting the money from Donna, she could bribe her superiors and find some easy work to do.

But at this time, thick snow covered all the roads, and it looked like it would not stop for ten days or half a month.

Ruthmary is now busy from morning till night every day and is so tired that she doesn't even have time to rest, let alone find a way to take revenge on Lycoris radiata. It would be better to ask her to think about how to eat better tomorrow.

But if we don’t find a way to change the current situation, we will be exhausted every day in this cold winter and will be particularly prone to illness. What should we do if our bodies fail before the snow melts?

When she was a maid, she especially looked down on these porters. They were always covered in sweat, had no regard for hygiene, could only speak vulgar words, and had no idea what etiquette was.

If it weren't for Lycoris radiata's order to let the porters treat Ruthmary harshly, with her beauty and gentleness, she would have already charmed these ignorant men.

Anyway, if Ruthmary keeps working so hard, it will be hard for her to stay as beautiful as before. In this case, she might as well use her proud appearance to charm her boss and ask him to give her some benefits.

When she gets out of the predicament and becomes a lady of a wealthy family or even an upper-class aristocrat in the future, she will find an opportunity to get rid of the stinky man who has defiled her. All her forbearance is for a better future!

"Honey, do you want to try something exciting?" Taking advantage of the night, Ruth Mary ran to her boss' room in thin clothes.

He was a rough-looking uncle, and his only advantage was his muscular body, which was developed from years of lifting heavy objects.

Ruthmary showed a lovable expression, trying to seduce him, but he was disgusted when he saw her like this: "Go away, I want to sleep, don't make such a fuss here."

After saying this, he carried Ruthmary out like a chicken and locked the door from the inside.

"This is outrageous! What kind of attitude is this!" Ruthmary shivered in the cold wind, shaking with anger.

She had clearly been merciful enough to give this lowly servant the opportunity to get close to her, but he didn't cherish it?

Ruthmary was furious. Since her boss didn't appreciate it, she would go find someone else. It was also a good choice to use the tenderness of a young girl's night to ask others to help share the work and reduce the pressure of life.

However, the reality was the exact opposite of what Rosemary thought: "With your poor appearance, are you even worth a finger of Miss Manjusawa?"

"Little girl, you are young, but I have worked here for so many years, and my heart has long been captured by Miss Manjushage. Her beauty and elegance are beyond your reach in this life!"

"Unless you have the delicate features and slender figure of Miss Manjusaka, I can't accept it."

The more Ruthmary thought about it, the angrier she became. These ignorant and stinky men. She had finally made up her mind to use her feminine beauty to warm their lonely and hungry hearts, but these guys not only did not appreciate it, but also despised her for not being as pretty as Lycoris radiata.

What is she? She just has a good father! In terms of beauty, Ruth Mary is confident that she is not inferior to anyone. Moreover, Manjusaka is already 24 years old. When ordinary noble ladies reach her age, they will have children. But she is pitiful and no one wants her. She has never been married. No matter how you look at it, Ruth Mary is better, right?

Why are these ignorant helpers so fascinated by Lycoris radiata? She must have used some despicable tricks.

"I remember there is a magic potion that can increase a woman's charm and help her attract everyone's attention. Lycoris radiata must have used something that is not allowed to be seen in public, otherwise why do all the men like her, and even Doyle and Luo Shiqi are around her all day long." Ruthmary immediately thought of a possibility.

Anyone who secretly brews potions will be severely punished, let alone this kind of potion that harms others and seduces people. If this matter is reported to the sheriff, no matter how important Manjushage is, she will probably suffer a big blow.

If the Knights' Order's sheriffs, who hate evil as much as they do evil, knew about this, would they kill Manjusaka on the spot?

After all, those who can enter the Knights Templar are all middle-class nobles with large fiefdoms, so there is no need to worry about the impact of executing Lycoris radiata.

Thinking of this, Ruth Mary was overjoyed: "I will find a chance to write a letter and send it to the capital to report this bitch!"
