The days when I was a maid in another world
Chapter 28 Assassination
The ink was on the tea table in front of the lord, but he insisted that I get it for him.I don't know if he is lazy, or if he is so clean that he is afraid of getting his hands.
I wiped the ink-soaked pen and handed it to him, saying: "My lord, it's done."
He took the pen, then put away the pen and the documents on the table and put them in a brown paper bag.
I:"……"
Since there is no need for a pen, why do you urge me to quickly fill him with pen water?It's just finding fault on purpose!
He raised his hand to look at his watch, and said to me without raising his head: "It's time to eat, go get me a wet towel."
Well, he probably wants to wipe his hands.I said to myself: You don’t need to grab food with your hands, so why pay attention to it?
"Yes." No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he still had to answer like this.
I took a towel to the sink and wrung it dry, then returned to him and handed him the towel.After he took it, he wiped his hands carefully, and then returned the used towel to me.I had to go to the sink again, wash the towels and put them away.
At this time, Talis came back pushing the dining car, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.As long as she is here, the lord will not order me to do things.
"Eat now, both of you." He said casually when he picked up the knife and fork.
Because we were leaving at dawn, we all got up very early, and no one had eaten.Hearing what he said at this time, I, who was already hungry and irritable, had a little liking for him.
Maybe it's because I've had a good breakfast with the help of the lord and the butler, and I even got a sandwich with sliced ham.
If you can eat good food every day, then this trip is worth it.
After the meal, I was sent off by Talis to wash the dishes.I thought I could take the opportunity to go to the dining car to find some good things, but it turned out that the food in the dining car was locked in a cabinet. I don't know if it was because I was afraid that someone would steal it or someone would poison it.
When I finished my work and headed back, the train happened to stop at the nearest station.
"Donnie," the lord ordered immediately when he saw me walking into the carriage, "go and make me a pot of tea."
"Yes." I rolled my eyes secretly, and had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the dining car.
A person was walking towards me, and because the aisle was a bit narrow, I had to step aside and let him pass first.He was wearing a suit and a top hat, with his head slightly lowered, with one hand reaching into his bosom to take out something.Since he was going to the lord's carriage, he must have come to look for the lord, and he didn't know why.
I took a look at him and moved on, only to hear a "bang" gunshot behind me!
I was startled for a moment and immediately turned around, only to see the man dodging into the carriage with a gun in his hand, and a guard had already fallen in a pool of blood at the door.
"Bang!" Another shot rang out.
Before I had time to think, I immediately ran to the carriage.Talis, and Lord Sterling, they are all inside...
I ran to the door and took the long-barreled fire/gun from the guard. At this time, I couldn't care less about my inability to use this kind of gun. I only knew that I had to get a weapon.
My heart was pounding, I took a deep breath, and then gently stepped into the car with a gun in my hand.
Sunlight came in from the window on one side, and the lord was still sitting in his original position, looking at the door against the light.Talis was standing in the aisle beside the lord, her cane had changed its appearance at this moment - a dark red handle was held in her left hand with a slender sword, while her right hand was holding a black staff body.
Not far from Talis's feet, a person was lying there motionless.The man's top hat fell off to the side, a hole was cut in the back of the neck, and blood was bubbling out, and there was also a large puddle of blood on the ground under the neck.
The rest of the guards were all standing in the aisle, surrounding Talis and the lord.Seeing me walk in, everyone's eyes were on me, and all their guns were aimed at me.
"What, what's going on?" After I was stunned for a moment, I stuttered.
With a cold face, Talis glanced at me, then moved her eyes down, and said, "Donnie, you have a gun."
"Ah? Oh!" I realized that I was holding a gun, and the muzzle was facing forward. In their eyes, I might look like I might shoot at any time.I quickly put the gun down, then raised my hands and asked, "Are you all okay?"
Talis nodded expressionlessly.
"Donnie," the lord said suddenly, "go and make me tea."
I don't know why he still thinks about drinking tea at this time, but he has a straight face now, I think if I dare to disobey him, there will be no good results.
"Okay." I replied, turned and walked out the door.
When I passed the door, I subconsciously glanced at the dead guard, and I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart.Although I don't know him well, and I haven't even spoken to him, but a person who was standing upright just now fell down like this, and no one will feel better after seeing him.
When standing next to the tea stove in the dining car to receive water, my hand holding the teapot trembled slightly, and I was almost scalded by the hot water.
Now, I don't need anyone to tell me that this is an assassination.
Someone wanted to assassinate the lord, and the person who passed me was the murderer.The man put his hand into his bosom to draw a gun...
If his first shot was not at the guard, but at me...
Perhaps, he thought that I was just a woman to be ordered around, not a threat, so he didn't attack me.
After filling up the teapot, I put the teapot on the table, put my hands on the table, and took a few deep breaths.
I think I need to calm down.
Assassination, gunshots, blood, dead bodies...
I was sorting out my chaotic thoughts when I heard countless "bang bang bang bang" gunshots not far away!
It's the lord's carriage!
I ran out immediately, and as soon as I opened the door of the dining car, I bumped into a person.
"Go back!" With a low growl, the man hugged me and pushed me back a step, then squeezed in and locked the door behind him.
I looked up and saw that this person was Lord Sterling.
"grown ups……"
"Bang! Boom!"
Before I could finish my question, gunshots sounded outside the window, the glass shattered, and something even flew close to the back of my head and hit the tea stove.
Before I could react, a huge force suddenly hit me and pushed me back, but because my feet didn't move, I fell backwards.And Sterling, who was holding me, fell down with me and fell on top of me.
"Don't get up!" He immediately climbed up after urging, then squatted aside and used a table as a cover, and raised his right hand - at some point there was an extra gun on his right hand.
"Bang!" He pulled the trigger, and the fine wooden pistol rang loudly.
Our assailant standing outside the window fell backwards.
"Come here!" He beckoned to me.
I got up, squatted and walked to him, he reached out and grabbed my arm, and said, "Follow me and hide under the window."
I nodded and followed him slowly under the window.
"Is it safe here?" I pointed to the inner wall of the train, wondering if the iron sheet would be penetrated by bullets.
"Who knows." At this moment, he was still in the mood to twitch his lower lip slightly, "As long as they don't know we're staying here, they probably won't shoot here."
I:"……"
When human life is at stake, is it really good for him to make such a decision so casually?
"Where's Talis?" I asked.
"I'm dealing with the aftermath with other people." He said, and sat down with his back against the wallboard, completely relieved of the tension just now, and even folded his straight legs together, raised his watch to count the time, "It's almost time."
I:"……"
He looked confident, not only sure that he would be fine, but also that his men could handle everything.
It was quiet outside, there was no gunfire, and there were not even any noises from the passengers because of their panic.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door of the dining car.
"My lord, it's settled." Talis's voice came from outside.
The lord stood up and patted the dust off his trousers, glanced at me, and said, "Let's go. Oh, remember to bring my tea."
I stood up silently, then picked up the teapot that had become warm on the table, and followed him out of the dining car.
I wiped the ink-soaked pen and handed it to him, saying: "My lord, it's done."
He took the pen, then put away the pen and the documents on the table and put them in a brown paper bag.
