They all call me master

Arthur and Malinda entered through the gate of the manor.

Walking through the corridor, living room, and along the spiral staircase to the second floor - this manor is full of the style of the Silver Age and emphasizes grandeur.

Or, it can be said to be extravagant.

Arthur could easily see the remnants of gilding on the stairs.

However, these gilts have long become mottled due to the lack of maintenance by corresponding personnel.

Moreover, Arthur can be sure that it was definitely not the period after Baron Camille's death, but it started long ago.

Just like the same mottled oil paintings on the wall.

"The decline of the Seven Years' War?"

Arthur whispered to himself.

“The Kemir family had already shown its decline at the end of the Silver Age.

At that time, Baron Kemir's father, like the other party's grandfather, had not awakened his bloodline.

And the same goes for Baron Camille.

Three generations have not awakened their bloodline, and the entire Kemir family has become shaky.

In order for the Camille family to survive for a long time, Baron Camille's father had to make some 'resource exchanges' with other Nanlos nobles in exchange for the continuation of the Camille family.

They even hope to change the embarrassing situation of the Kemir family through 'marriage'.

pity……

Some things are inevitable. "

Malinda held her cigarette holder in her mouth and then blew out a puff of smoke.

The smoke drifted forward and passed over the oil paintings of the ancestors of the Kemer family.

Seven in total.

They looked either heroic or elegant in the portraits. You can completely imagine how heroic they were back then, but the broken easel brought everything back to reality.

What is gone is long gone.

It cannot be changed, only...

replace.

"Do you think our portraits will also have such a day?"

Malinda suddenly asked Arthur.

After inheriting the title, as the founder of the Caesar family, he naturally needs to hang a portrait of himself according to the rules of the nobility.

And Arthur?

As a husband in name only, he is naturally needed.

Moreover, the portraits of the two people must be hung side by side at the highest point of the manor hall.

Arthur didn't care.

Not only did he not care where his portrait was, but he also didn't care about Malinda's worries.

"Then I must add a line of text on the bottom layer of the canvas - What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"

The young 'psychic medium' said this.

Malinda on the side immediately rolled her eyes.

However, I was a little moved by Arthur's proposal.

Later, the woman also decided to add a line of text on the bottom layer of the canvas.

Just write——

What are you looking at? Am I not more handsome than the asshole next to me?

Um!

Just write it!

Malinda emphasized for herself in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and the smoke she exhaled showed a sense of relief.

This touch of ease corresponds to the anxiety and anticipation when the current stage is completed and the next stage is about to begin.

Originally, according to this lady's character, she would quickly adjust her emotions after sighing and then jump into the next stage, but with Arthur's joke.

This adjustment ends at this moment.

‘Hmph, this bastard is still useful! ’

Malinda glanced at Arthur, who was smiling.

Then, he walked towards the master's study again.

A baronetcy is not the ultimate goal for this lady!

Her ultimate goal?

It's still a secret at this stage.

She won't tell anyone until she takes that step.

Arthur followed Malinda into the study - this was the strongest part of the previous gathering point of death energy.

Obviously, the traditional Kemir family also chose tradition when building the secret room.

It is far less flexible than the secret room built by the 'spiritual medium'.

The entrance to the secret room is on the bookshelf directly behind the desk.

Among the many broken books, the complete book really stood out.

"If you are so stuck in a rut that you don't know how to adapt, all you have to do is put up a sign and say welcome."

Arthur complained.

“The existence of such a secret room is well known to everyone.

In my opinion, it is like a "cloakroom" that promotes one's wealth. "

Malinda expressed another point of view.

At the same time, he raised his hand and pulled the book.

Click!

After a crisp sound, the machine spring began to rotate.

Then, the bookcase began to move slowly, and the dust accumulated on it started to rise.

"It's time to clean your closet."

Arthur said, covering his mouth and nose and taking a step back.

But Malinda was not afraid of such dust, she opened her mouth and blew——

call!

Suddenly, the light smoke mixed with the raised dust rolled back, and then gathered into a ball and landed in the corner of the study.

Bang bang bang!

Arthur on the side applauded directly, and at the same time he was about to open his mouth, as if he wanted to praise.

However, Malinda snorted and interrupted Arthur's words.

"Shut up!

Swallow your words back!

Don't force me to vomit all over you when I'm happiest! "

"Huh? You know what I want to say?"

Arthur looked surprised.

"Oh, it's nothing more than words like being able to do housework."

Malinda looked like I've seen through you.

Arthur frowned, and then said seriously.

"Malinda, have you underestimated your position in my heart?

How is that possible for a housekeeper or a nanny?

At least he's a butler! "

When Arthur first spoke, Malinda was still stunned, but as soon as the second sentence came out, Malinda knew that she was wrong.

How wrong.

Why overestimate a jerk?

“Ah, yes, yes!

I'm the housekeeper, where are you?

As a butler's lover, he is at most the first manservant - remember that when the master gets up at night, the lamp must be lit, otherwise you will be required to clean. "

Malinda gave Arthur the middle finger.

During the Silver Age, being the First Footman was a job that ordinary people either loved or hated.

Love, high salary, close to the master.

Hate, it is too close to the master.

Not only do you know too many of the master's secrets, but you also know some of the master's embarrassing things, and most of the time you have to clean up the mess.

For example: Lord Eisenao in West Berlin once kicked down the toilet because he couldn't see clearly after getting up at night, and then splashed all over the first manservant.

Of course, the key point is that the first manservant who got splashed had to clean the toilet and keep it a secret.

As for why it spread?

Then I have to say that the first male servant was too conscientious. He cleaned up the man who was splashed with feces and urine, and then, what was originally a puddle turned into a large area...

Eventually, Lord Aisanao denounced the idiot, and the incident was widely publicized.

Arthur knew this.

Scott told it to him as a joke.

However, Arthur didn't want to become a joke.

so--

"I'll hug you."

Arthur looked at Malinda walking side by side with an expression.

The lady immediately waved her hand in disgust and distanced herself from Arthur.

"Get away from me, you disgusting guy!"

Facing the disgusting images that appeared in her mind, Malinda retreated once again.

Arthur smiled and continued walking down.

The bickering and playing between the two ended when their feet touched the floor of the secret room.

The two of them looked seriously at the secret room filled with a large number of books, and both looked at the big desk in the middle. To be precise, it was on the desk...

notes!

Malinda immediately strode forward.

And Arthur?

But he took a step back calmly.
