Dominate the world in three weeks?
Chapter 3 chapter3 gentle calculation
When Terrence returned to the Duke's mansion, the sun was only left with the last twilight.
He walked through the garden in front of the door, glanced casually, and saw a man pruning flower branches in the deep twilight.The man's back was facing him, and that figure didn't look at all like a gardener who had been working in the garden for a long time. He stood upright and behaved dignifiedly, apparently having received good etiquette training.
Terrence became interested in him for a moment, looked at the maid behind him and asked, "Who is that person standing in front of Moonlight Flower?"
Freya gave the little master a strange look, and replied respectfully: "Master, Adam is the deacon who served you before."
"Oh——" Terrence responded, and looked at the young maid, "It was too dark, and I didn't see it clearly for a while. It seems that Her Majesty's pastries have already dazzled my eyes."
This wonderful explanation made Freya cover her mouth and laugh.
Terrence turned his head and said, "Tell him to come to my study after dinner."
"How could the housekeeper who served me do such heavy work." Terrence walked forward seemingly talking to himself, but the voice of these words happened to be heard by Freya.
God knows, Terrence, who has lived through three lives, doesn't have the brains to instantly remember who the deacon was by his side at the beginning.But a good master should not let his subordinates down, he is willing to put on a show.
Adam Smith knocked on the door of the study at 06:30 on time. Terrence glanced at the clock on the wall and was very satisfied with the well-trained man.
Standing in front of Terrence was a tall, red-haired young man.Contrary to his ostentatious hair color, is the serious and solemn face of this servant.
Terrence bent his eyes in satisfaction and said, "Adam, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
The housekeeper who was a part-time gardener bowed to salute, and the arc was exactly the same as the norm.
"Perhaps you are blaming me in your heart for not thinking of your existence at all, leaving you with talent but only displaying it in the garden." Terrence said softly in a slow tone.
"As an excellent servant, how can I complain about my master's arrangement."
"No, no, Adam, you have to listen to my explanation." Terrence jumped off the seat and stood in front of Adam Smith. He reached out and grabbed a corner of Adam, and his raised little face was full of pain. . "I just lost my parents. Facing a huge family business and an almost unfamiliar social circle, I really don't know what to do. Adam, I'm so scared every day..."
"Master..."
Adam Smith looked at the child in front of him who he had taken care of, and wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort him, but he still hesitated.
Terrence stepped forward and put his arms around the young butler's waist, his suppressed voice seemed to be crying: "I wake up every morning and feel that all this is like a dream. But at yesterday's award ceremony, I suddenly realized that, Even if I don't want to admit it, this is the reality. I... Adam... I'm even more scared, I don't know what my future will become, and I don't know if I can shoulder Aldrett's burden glory."
Hugging Adam Smith's stiff body vigorously, Terrence lowered his head, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and walked away from Mr. Housekeeper. He straightened his back and looked squarely at the person in front of him.Even though the corners of the eyes were still red and swollen from crying just now, those eyes were shining brightly, like a dark green lake full of starlight.
"However, I will try my best to do everything I can - Adam, please help me. I have been muddled for too long as a child, and I can't even master everything in the Duke's Mansion. Someone I can trust , now only you are left with me.”
Terrence stretched out his hand to Adam, and that thin white palm shone brightly under the reflection of the lighting ball.Adam stared at the hand, looking at the little master's face.
The other party is no longer the carefree and innocent boy he used to be. He has become tough, brave, and full of responsibility. It's only been a month... As the young master said, he has already experienced too much pain. thing.
The young butler never resented the young master.Adam Smith is an outstanding talent who graduated from a top butler academy. He entered the Duke's Mansion full of vision for the future and hoped that he could become a good butler trusted by his master.But after the death of the master and wife, all the food and daily life of the young master were taken over by the head deacon. Not only that, he was also suppressed to weed and trim the garden every day.At the beginning, he still had hope in his heart, hoping that the young master could recall him, but as time passed, this hope faded, and the ensuing resentment became stronger.
Only now did he realize how selfish his dissatisfaction was. The young master was only ten years old and had to support Nuo Da’s family. It's against the deacon's ethics to take into account his own little troubles!
"You'll help me, won't you?"
Terrence's soft childish voice sounded again, like a stone knocking a heavy echo in Adam's heart.
Adam closed his eyes and opened them again. He held Terrence's hand and knelt down on one knee: "As long as it is your wish, I am willing to fulfill it for you. Whether it is the past, present or future, I hope that I can always Support the young master."
His voice is firm and full of emotion, and there is no sense of falsehood in his words.Terrence stared at the top of the red head, silently raised the corners of his mouth.
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
Adam raised his head and cast a questioning look at his master. Terrence shook his head, pulled the young butler up, and sat back on the chair by himself: "Come in."
Bog Clooney opened the door and walked in: "Good evening, master. I don't know what you want from me?"
As he said this, his eyes paused for a moment when he glanced at Adam, and then he looked at Terrence as if there was nothing unusual.
Terrence clenched his hands, and frowned slightly in distress: "Borg, I saw Adam weeding in the garden today. Could it be that the Aldrette family can't even hire a gardener?"
Borg bowed his body, without any emotion on his face: "Of course not, master. It's just that there are enough deacons at the moment, so I temporarily gave Mr. Smith a vacation and asked him to take a good rest. Probably because Mr. Smith couldn't take time off, I went to help the gardeners."
He turned around and smiled admiringly at Adam: "Mr. Smith is indeed an excellent talent, and he is always honing himself."
- old fox.
Both Adam and Terrence had such thoughts in their hearts.
As the chief deacon, Borg had overwhelming rights over Adam. If he said that Adam only went to work in the garden out of his own will, Adam would not be able to refute a word, which indirectly blocked Terrence's mouth.Not only that, Borg's words imply that Adam Smith has no place to work in this family——Adam's self-esteem, or Terrence's misfortune, as long as the words shake one of them, then Adam will Will leave the Aldrettes for good.
No wonder the young master would say that he no longer has anyone he can trust in this family. The deacon who is by his side is such a shrewd and insidious guy. Fear, forcing myself to grow up.
The young housekeeper made up for Terrence's miserable life recently, felt more pity/pity for this young nobleman who was 12 years younger than him, and strengthened his determination to become an important helper for the little master.
Terrence didn't know that the newly recruited servant had refreshed his loyalty. He sat up straight and folded his arms to look at Borg Clooney, making a willful gesture: "Borg, the butler who serves me can only serve me Wielding little scissors in the garden is damaging to my reputation! I don't care how you arrange your duties, anyway, Adam will come back to me and serve me from today onwards!"
"...Master." Borg pursed his lips and said with a smile: "After all, you are the Duke now, and there are many things around you. The people who serve you must have enough responsibility to assist you in every detail. Beside. Mr. Smith has just been an official housekeeper for less than three years and has very little experience. If there is anything wrong...Young master, you should also think about the family's reputation."
"Well... that's correct." Terrence nodded his lips.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy to talk to the little master. While Borg breathed a sigh of relief, he inevitably felt contempt for Terrence.Who knows that Terrence didn't finish his sentence: "Compared to you, Borg, Adam is indeed very young. Then let him train by your side. You just said that Adam is very good, and you If you come to train him, in time, he will definitely become a powerful housekeeper, so you also have a good assistant, isn't it just right?"
"Master..."
"Okay, it's settled like this. You are so busy every day, Borg, and I also want to find someone to help you share it." Terrence waved his hand, "It just so happens that I have something for you to do right now—Queen Your Majesty wants me to hold a dinner party as soon as possible, in three days. You two must arrange it well, and there will be no mistakes."
"Master..."
"Do you need me to repeat about work, Borg?" Terrence tilted his head, he still smiled with childish innocence, but stared into Borg Clooney's eyes But it seems to hide a poisonous glow.Of course, such a weird expression was not seen by Adam Smith who was standing with his head bowed.
Like a frog being stared at by a snake, Borg suddenly stiffened his back.He opened his eyes wide, but found that Terrence's expression was still sweet and lovely under the dim light. It seemed that the hostility just now was just an illusion of Borg.
Knowing that the little master will never have such an aura that transcends adults, Borg swallowed the words he was about to say out of a certain instinct that he didn't even realize, and bowed respectfully: "Of course I will arrange everything , to present a grand dinner for you, young master, that will never disgrace the Duke's Mansion."
"I believe in your ability, Borg. My tutor will be here soon, you can go down."
Quietly closing the door, out of Terrence's sight, the atmosphere of the two housekeepers suddenly became subtle.
Bog Clooney looked at Adam with a smile on his face: "As expected of a servant who has served the young master for a long time, after seeing your young master, his temperament has become much more lively. But in the future, I hope you can keep your duty and supervise the young master's behavior. Let the young master become an impeccable nobleman."
——You youngsters, don’t think that you can do whatever you want with the appreciation of your master!If you dare to instigate the little master to do something, I will never let you go!
Adam bent down calmly: "I will ask you for advice, and I will never disappoint the young master's expectations."
——Despicable guy, how could you make a retrograde move to hold your master hostage!I have promised the young master that if I want to be his shield, I will never let anyone insult the young master!
"Ah……"
Terrence stared at the tightly closed carved wooden door, as if he could see through the door the two people secretly facing each other outside.The one month after his parents died provided him with a good opportunity—Borg, who had just taken over to serve him, didn’t know what kind of person he was originally, and he wouldn’t suspect no matter what changes happened to him, while Adam was already with him. He's been apart for too long, long enough that he can come up with any excuse to hide the change in his personality.No one will find his doubts. On the contrary, this change will also become an opportunity for Borg Clooney and Adam Smith to doubt each other.
At first, he just wanted to give Adam Smith a job at random, so that the other party would not have a secret hatred for him.But on the way to the restaurant, he thought of a better use for Mr. Butler——
Arranging Adam next to Borg was not out of Terrence's trust in him. At this stage, whether it is Adam or Borg, Terrence still has no way to use them at will.However, the mutual containment of old and new forces is enough for Terrence to discover more loopholes and sincerity between the two of them.It doesn't matter even if neither of them follow him wholeheartedly, under the surveillance and temptation of each other, there will be no way to hide the betrayal, and Terrence himself only needs to watch from the sidelines.
Speaking of being able to achieve this perfectly, it is also thanks to Angus, the hypocrite who loves acting.After seeing too much of the other party's excellent skills that can turn black and white, it is really easy to play a poor child who is in desperate need of help in front of his young housekeeper.
"The enemy's strengths must be absorbed and utilized. I'm really a qualified opponent, am I Angus?" Terrence turned his head to look at the full moon outside the window, curling the corners of his lips in a good mood.But in the next second, he immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"……it hurts……"
——Damn it, I rubbed my eyes too hard just now!
He walked through the garden in front of the door, glanced casually, and saw a man pruning flower branches in the deep twilight.The man's back was facing him, and that figure didn't look at all like a gardener who had been working in the garden for a long time.
