After the two men came down from the sentry tower on the top of the fortress, they went directly to the room on the second floor. With a creak, Hood gently pushed open the door.
The two girls in the room were sitting on the bed, sewing things seriously. When they heard the door open, they immediately stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the door. When they saw that the person coming in was Hood, they quickly stood up and saluted Hood.
"Lord Hod..."
After Nott followed Hod into the room, he scanned everything in the room, then looked at the two girls, and looked at Hod in confusion: "Boss? Who are they?"
"This is Emma and Bertha."
Hod walked into the room, briefly introduced the two girls, and then explained: "They are maids bought from other towns by the original owner of this manor. After the owner of the manor was killed by us, they became homeless, so I let them stay here. They will be responsible for taking care of our daily life in the future."
"Oh~"
Nott looked at Hod, then at the two young and attractive girls with an alluring aura, with a meaningful smile on his face, and deliberately stretched his voice and said: "So that's the case..."
"Okay, don't think too much."
Hod shook his head helplessly. Of course, he knew what Nott was thinking, but he was too lazy to explain and admitted it directly.
Then he turned and walked towards the two girls, picked up the clothes they were sewing on the table, observed them casually, put them on the bed, and said, "This is Nott, the person I trust the most."
"Lord Nott..."
Emma and Bertha lowered their heads quickly.
These four words instantly made Nott raise his head proudly. He patted his chest and said loudly, "If anyone bullies you here in the future, just come to me."
The two girls looked at Hood cautiously, and when they saw Hood nod with a smile, they immediately thanked Nott.
"You two go to the kitchen to make something to eat." Hood waved his hand casually, and gestured to the two with cold eyes.
"Yes, Lord Hood."
The two girls lowered their heads obediently and slowly left the room.
After the two girls left, Hood lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "Go and see if they will do anything. If they do... just..." As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Nott looked at Hood's actions and instantly understood what he meant. He smiled grimly, nodded, and quickly left the room.
Hood sat alone on the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light kept flashing in his eyes.
Although he had had close contact with the two women, it was only because he threatened them with his life. As for their true thoughts, he could not be sure.
This time, asking them to cook was actually a test. Once he found any signs and actions of dissatisfaction in their hearts, Hood would never let them go.
He was able to get to this point today, on the one hand, relying on the help of the system and the robbers, and on the other hand, relying on his cautious character. Hood would never trust anyone except Nott and others.
In the narrow and dim kitchen, two girls were concentrating on processing the ingredients in their hands. They were busy and talking in a low voice.
"Sister Emma, are we really only going to live here in the future?" Bertha's eyes were slightly red, and she asked in a confused voice, revealing a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
Emma, who had taken the initiative to serve Hood in the room before, was silent for a moment, sighed silently, then put down the vegetables in her hand, gently hugged Bertha, and gently comforted her: "Don't cry, Bertha, at least this master is much better than that hateful manor owner. He promised me that he would not hurt us."
Bertha sobbed softly, tears sliding down her cheeks, and whispered: "But, they are robbers..." Her voice was filled with fear and grievance.
Hearing this, Emma's face instantly became serious.
She held Bertha's face with both hands, stared into her eyes, and said solemnly: "Bertha, you must remember, you must never say these two words again in the future!" The tone was firm and unquestionable.
Bertha was frightened by Emma's words. She widened her eyes, looked at Emma, and nodded with tears in her eyes, indicating that she understood.
Seeing Bertha nod, Emma's expression eased a little, but she was still very serious. She continued: "No matter who they are, as long as they can ensure our safety, they are our masters. We must obey their orders, otherwise, we may suffer more severe punishment... or even death..."
After listening to Emma's words, Bertha lowered her head, silently picked up the food and continued to work. SheAlthough there are still many questions and concerns in her heart, she still chooses to believe Emma's judgment.
After all, in this strange environment, only if they support each other can they continue to survive.
However, Bertha is not as old as Emma after all, and she is still full of uncertainty about the future in her heart. She doesn't know how the new owner will treat them, nor does she know whether she can adapt to this new lifestyle.
But now, she can only choose to believe Emma's words and work hard to do the work at hand in exchange for the trust of the new owner to ensure a relatively stable life.
Seeing Bertha's actions, Emma could only sigh deeply, and then walked to the fire pit to cook the broth alone.
The two women didn't notice at all. There was a figure quietly listening to their conversation at the door of the kitchen until the two women started to get busy, and the figure left here slowly.
Nott went directly to the second floor along the stairs, pushed open the door, and nodded to Hood in the room.
Seeing this, Huo De's vigilance towards the two women decreased a little, but he would not be completely at ease with the two women just because of this test.
People's hearts are always hidden very deeply...
