The days when I was a maid in another world

I sat alone in the little dining room and ate, being so distracted that I didn't know what I was getting into my mouth.After eating in a hurry, I got up and left immediately, but when I opened the door, I found Alger standing at the door.

"Why are you standing here?" I asked.

"...Waiting for you, Talis said you are here." Alger hesitated for a moment before replying.

"What's up?"

Since I separated from Alger last time, I only took a quick look at Sterling when he brought someone to rescue me. Seeing that he was in good spirits and didn't see any injuries, I was relieved and didn't look for him.

Now, he came here specifically to look for me, and his expression was not very good. I vaguely felt that he had something important to tell me.

He glanced around, then said softly, "Can we go out and talk?"

I nodded and followed him downstairs into the yard.

After finding a secluded place, he stopped and turned to look at me. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Tang, I... just want to take a look at you before I leave..."

"..." I froze for a moment, and then caught the key words in his words, "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"

He nodded, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I will go to the border with the army in the afternoon."

border?

"Which border?" I blurted out.

"The border adjacent to Robito."

"Isn't there a war breaking out there?" I was surprised, and the volume also increased a lot.

He looked at me deeply, and said in a calm but helpless tone, "Yes, I was sent there because a war broke out."

sent to?

"You mean, Sterling sent you there? Why did he send the pro-guards to the front? Shouldn't he send the garrison?" I was puzzled by this.

Alger smiled helplessly, and said, "It's not sending the personal guards, but only me..."

"Just send you?" I was so surprised that I didn't say anything for a long time.

What is Sterling trying to do?If he wanted to send his confidant over there, Alger probably wouldn't have such an expression of never returning.The current situation is almost as if Sterling deliberately let him die...

"Wait a minute, I'll go find him." As I said that, I turned around and left, but he grabbed me.

"No, you can't go." He looked at me and said anxiously, without waiting for me to ask why, he continued, "Even if my lord doesn't send me, I will volunteer."

"Why?" I don't believe that he did it to show off his talent or to take the opportunity to get promoted. His current behavior is simply like avoiding something.

He pursed his lips, and after pondering for a long time, he looked aside and replied in a low voice: "Because I have failed my lord's trust in me..."

"If you are unintentional, I don't think he will get to the bottom of it. I will intercede for you, and he will forgive you." I patted his arm and motioned him to cheer up, "You still stay and protect Our lord, please take good care of Tled, and only then can we hope to win."

"You don't understand," he shook his head and sighed softly again, "I have only two options, either to resign and go home, or to be transferred to a place far away from here... But I don't want to go home now, and I don't want to be with you just now. After the quarrel with my father, I lost my job and went back to join him; I don’t want to go to other towns to do some boring clerical work..." He looked at me, his eyes became darker and more complicated, "Maybe, the only way to go to the battlefield is to fight happily , is the best choice for me right now.”

"Are you crazy?" I really couldn't understand his logic, "Guns have no eyes, no matter how powerful you are on the battlefield, you are still close to death. Are you going to die?"

"Heh..." He smiled wryly, "If I can come back alive, I will apply to be transferred out of here, if not..." He looked at me silently and didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

"Why did you just say there were only those two options?" I still don't understand.

"You don't need to understand." His answer was a little abrupt. Seeing that I was stunned, he stretched out his hand and rubbed my head, and said, "You just need to live every day well and happily."

"Alger..." I wanted to persuade him again, but I didn't know where to start.In my impression, he is a cheerful young man and a strong member of the guards. This is the first time I have seen him with such a deep and depressing appearance.

"Okay, I'm going back to get ready, so don't let it go." He patted my shoulder, turned and left.

"Alger!" I hurriedly called to him, and seeing him stop and turn around to look at me, I said loudly, "I'll buy you a drink when you come back! Don't forget, I still owe you a drink!"

He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to having a drink with you!"

Seeing him walking away, I immediately turned around and ran back.

I want to discuss this matter with Sterling, and hope that he can take back his order and not send Alger to the front.

***

I stood in front of the meeting room and waited for a long time before the closed door was opened, and Sterling's subordinates came out in a file, and finally only Sterling was left in the whole meeting room.

Seeing that everyone else had left, I stood at the door and knocked on the door panel. Sterling heard the sound and looked over. Seeing it was me, I smiled and said, "Come in."

I closed the door casually, walked over and sat beside him, looking at his exhausted appearance, I couldn't help feeling worried and distressed. "Tired? Do you want me to pinch your shoulders for you?" In the past, when I was his "maid", he always asked me to pinch his shoulders.

"I wish I could." He gave me a smile, as if glad I'd offered it.

I walked behind him and lightly kneaded his shoulders. Seeing that he was leaning back on the chair comfortably, I rubbed his scalp and temples again.I don't know professional massage techniques, so I can only knead him as lightly as possible, hoping to relieve his fatigue.

Seeing him closing his eyes comfortably, with a look of enjoyment, completely different from the exhausted state just now, I couldn't help laughing and said: "When you encounter troubles again, I will give you a massage so that you can see Until you feel better."

He didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising, his voice was still low but cheerful: "Your suggestion sounds good."

Although I don't want him to be bored anymore, I still want to ask about the current situation.

"Sterling," I whispered, running my fingers into his thick black hair and rubbing his scalp, "we're going to win, right?"

He didn't answer right away, but chose to remain silent, which made my heart heavy instantly.

"Wouldn't the king and other lords not ask about what Roberto did?" I said angrily.

Sterling sighed softly, held one of my hands in his, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the lord of Opsedo, the other lords have always disliked me, and now they hope that Robito can teach me a lesson. Let me give it a shot; and the king..." Just as he was speaking, he suddenly took my hand and kissed it lightly on the back of my hand, "After the couple knew that I liked a man, they regretted that they ever wanted to recruit me As a son-in-law, so now I wish I could get the lesson I deserve..."

After hearing his words, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and even the last hope was lost, so I lost my confidence when I asked: "Then will Opsydo help us?"

Sterling shook his head and said: "Opsydo not only borders Tled and Robito, but also borders Texas in the northwest. If Brian dares to send troops to fight Neuss, then Leonard will definitely Send troops to attack him, after all, Neuss and Leonard were the first to form an alliance."

Therefore, in order to protect himself, Brian will not let Opsydo participate in this war.Therefore, Tled can only rely on himself.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

When Sterling heard me sigh, he gently squeezed my hand and said, "Don't sigh, we will definitely win against Robito."

"Then why do you look so sad?"

"How can I have a sad face?" He looked up at me with a helpless expression, "I was just thinking about some things, for example, what kind of chain reaction will this war cause? What kind of attitude and countermeasures will Tled take..."

Well, he thinks far enough, my thinking is destined to not keep up with his rhythm.

"Sterling, please do one thing." Since we have a relatively high chance of winning this war, I will be more relieved.

"Please?" Sterling sat up straight, looked back at me and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

"Can you not send Alger to the front line? It's too dangerous there." I thought, since Alger is not the commander-in-chief, it shouldn't have any impact on the outcome of the war if he doesn't go.

Sterling's face was gloomy, he glanced at me, and asked in a low voice, "Did he ask you to do this?"

"How is it possible?" I couldn't help giving him a white look, "He just came to say goodbye to me. I can't bear him to go to such a dangerous place, what if something goes wrong?"

Sterling looked at me, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly, "You love him? Did he ever love you?"

"Where did you say that?" I was taken aback by his words.

Sterling stood up, turned to look at me, and said angrily, "What did he do when I handed you over to him? He threw you at Buck's place and ran away by himself!"

"No, no, you misunderstood!" I quickly shook my head and waved my hands and began to explain, "I told him to leave first, if we were both arrested, it would be all over, so I let him leave first and then find a chance to come back to rescue us." I……"

Sterling interrupted me angrily and said, "It's a good thing Buck didn't do anything to you, otherwise I wouldn't let him survive the day!"

I know that Sterling has always been concerned about my safety, but if he blamed Alger for this, wouldn't Alger be wronged?

"Don't be angry, listen to me!" I immediately approached him, stroked his chest, and motioned him to calm down, "That day, after Alger took me away, he took great care of me. It's dangerous and hard. If it wasn't for him, I would have died a long time ago. He treated me really well, and it was definitely an accident that I was caught, so I can't blame him."

If Sterling blames Alger for this incident and transfers him to the front line, then I have to make him change his mind.

"Can't blame him?" Sterling sneered, "Ricky is his subordinate! I don't care whether he did it unintentionally or on purpose. In short, if his subordinates made mistakes, it was his negligence!"

"Even if he was careless for a while, you shouldn't let him die because of this, right?" Seeing that Sterling was unmoved, I was a little anxious for a moment.

Sterling's face became more and more gloomy, and the line of his lips was tightly pursed. After staring at me for a long time, he said: "Even if you leave a cold-blooded and ruthless impression in your heart, I will not change this decision. This is my decision. His last chance."

"Sterling, don't be like this..." I suddenly felt a headache and couldn't help but put my hand on my forehead, "I know you must have your own plans, but I don't want you to embarrass Alger because of my affairs, otherwise I will Feel sorry for him..."

"Are you sorry for him?" Sterling seemed to chuckle slightly, "Because he likes you?"

"What?" I exclaimed.

"Don't say you don't know, Don." He stared at me expressionlessly, "Why did he cancel the engagement with his fiancée, did he tell you? Every time he looks at you, have you noticed it? Did he persuade you to leave me before?"

My throat was choked, but I couldn't say a word.I really want to say "no" to wake up the jealous man in front of me, but when I think of Alger's expression when he kissed me, I can't deny it no matter what.

I suddenly heard the words that Alger said just now - "I have failed my lord's trust in me..."

He didn't want to disappoint Sterling's trust, but he couldn't restrain his feelings, so he could only put the back of his hand between us when the kiss came... Even though he didn't really kiss me, his expression was Such affection and focus...

So, does Alger feel ashamed of Sterling because of me?That's why he chose the most desperate path...

"It seems that you know his mind." Sterling concluded coldly, "What about you? What do you think?"

I suddenly felt exhausted, so I couldn't help but sat on the sofa and rubbed my face hard with my hands, and replied softly: "I said that I only like you, but for Alger, I always treat him as a Look, friend." I looked up at Sterling and said sincerely, "You are my lover and he is a friend, there is no contradiction, Sterling."

Sterling laughed at himself, and replied: "There are two stupidest things I have ever done. One is to fuck you, and the other is to send Alger to test you." Become a little lost, "One thing made you hate me, and one thing made another man get closer to you..."

"Sterling, I said that he and I are just friends, you can't just be jealous because of this, and you can't take personal revenge because of it..." I said helplessly.

"Personal revenge?" Sterling's eyes showed a hurt expression, "I sent him to be the second-level commander, not a soldier who charged into the battle. If this is considered public revenge, well, I admit it!" His expression changed again ruthlessly, "I'll send him out, not only to keep him away from you, but also to see if he's with Ricky!"

Seeing that talking about it would only lead to a quarrel between the two of you, I had no choice but to stand up and say, "Okay, I won't plead for him anymore, and don't be angry anymore. You haven't rested since last night, take this opportunity to rest ,I go first."

I turned around and walked towards the door, footsteps suddenly sounded behind me, and the next second I was held tightly in his arms.

"I admit that I'm a little jealous..." He whispered in my ear, "I hurt you once, but he has been silently caring about you and helping you. I think he must be perfect in your heart …Seeing you chatting and joking with him with a smile on your face, and even asking him out for a drink, I am really envious and jealous… Don, you know, I hope your eyes only fall on me…”

"..." I was speechless for a moment.I didn't know that he was so insecure in this relationship. I thought he was so strong and confident, so strong and confident that he could control everything, so he was bound to win this relationship.As a result, he is not as strong as he appears on the surface, and is he also vulnerable and inferior?

"However, I didn't send him because I wanted him to die. He is one of my most capable assistants. I must send one of him and William. Because of Ricky, I must keep William, otherwise, The safety of the Lord's Mansion cannot be guaranteed..."

"I blamed you wrongly." I said apologetically, "I was the one who was outspoken. I shouldn't say that you are avenging yourself. I apologize."

He hugged me tighter, and his voice became hoarse: "I said those words just because I was angry. But after I wake up, I still don't want to leave a bad impression on you."

I pulled away the hands on my waist, then turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I love you, even if you're a villain..." I tiptoed to kiss his forehead, then looked into his eyes and said softly.

He doesn't know how powerful and dazzling he is in my eyes, how considerate and reliable, how handsome and unrestrained... As a straight man, I have all kinds of envy and hatred for him; but as his lover, I only The rest is full of emotion and pride!
