gentleman's servant

I thought he was bored and moldy, so I suggested: "I'll go downstairs and get some more books, you can choose whatever you want."

"No, I don't want to read now."

"Yes."

Standing beside him, I could feel him looking at me all the time, which made me nervous.

"What do you want...?" He suddenly asked a strange question.

"What?" I was taken aback.

The baron leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes, and said: "I mean, you have taken care of me during this time, and you should be rewarded, do you want money? Or something else, as long as it is reasonable, I will try to satisfy it you."

His attitude is so high that you can even feel his contemptuous glance when he looks down at you from a high position.

I don't remember whether I have encountered such an embarrassing situation in my previous life.

I said as humbly as possible: "It is right to take care of you. You are a distinguished guest of Mormont Manor. As for the reward, the Viscount has already rewarded me. He said he would promote me to be a senior servant."

"...Okay. If you have other requirements, you can tell me." He looked at the two books in his hand and said, "Since you can read, read to me. I don't want to bother to read."

"Yes." I took the book handed over by the baron. It was a book about Feizhou called "The Adventure of Feizhou".

"It rains from time to time in the dense jungle, and our group was drenched. We lost our way in the depths of the jungle, which is very dangerous because there are poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere. If we haven't found a campsite by night, then Our lives will be threatened." I read aloud word by word in a slow tone.

"The dark-skinned human beings are like wild beasts. They hold rough spears and animal bones, jumping and jumping around us." This section tells the story of several explorers who discovered a small tribe and entered into communication. It was normal at the beginning, but later: "...those dark-skinned girls in no clothes pulled me into the depths of the jungle, and they tore off the only fig leaf on their bodies..."

"Why don't you read it?" the baron asked me.

I glanced awkwardly at the Baron, only to find that he was looking at me with interest.

"This... I..." I hesitated for a long time. The words in the book were too bold and debauched, and I couldn't even pronounce a single word.

"How old are you?" He asked suddenly.

"." I replied.

"Just? So you are still a child. You were so calm the day you came to take care of me. I thought you were more mature than me." The baron glanced at me and said slowly, "Keep reading, I want to hear you read."

I turned over the two pages of long and erotic descriptions, gave the Baron a careful look, and then started to read.The Baron smiled sarcastically, but did not expose me.

In the warm afternoon, he closed his eyes and leaned quietly on the pillow.I sat by the bed and read to him.

Occasionally a shadow passed the window, it was a sparrow that came out to look for food in winter.

I saw that he was breathing steadily, and thought he was asleep, so I put down the book in my hand.Unexpectedly, he immediately opened his eyes, looked at me and said, "Why don't you read?"

"I thought you were asleep."

"Your voice is beautiful."

"...Thank you for your compliment."

"Continue reading..."

This leisurely winter day passed quickly amidst the sound of reading in the afternoon.

In the evening, I walked out of the room with the baron's plate, and when I passed the stairs, I met Miss Catherine. She was wearing a light green satin dress, and she wore a golden wig as usual, with brilliant rubies shining in her hair. .

I bowed to her. She waved her fan slightly and asked me with a smile, "Are you Owen? How is the baron today?"

"The Baron is recovering physically."

"It must be very dull for him to be alone in his room. What did he do to entertain himself?"

"The Baron has read a few books."

"What book? Tell me the title."

"Uh..." I hesitated and looked at Miss Catherine.

Catherine also seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to inquire about a man's privacy. She smiled softly: "It's okay, just tell me, the Baron and I often discuss our favorite books."

"Yes, I mainly read a few travel notes..."

Catherine left, and I stood there, staring at her leaving back.

The light of the setting sun sprinkled on the carpet in the corridor through the glass windows, and the voice of Selina's housekeeper ordering to light the candles came from downstairs.

Nothing seems to have changed, only my heart has changed.At that time Miss Catherine took the initiative to accost me, how happy I was, such a noble and elegant woman, I was overjoyed and my imagination was full of joy.And all this led to my tragedy, self-righteous people will be disappointed in the end, how could a noble like her fall in love with a humble person like me.

Suddenly I thought of Oscar again, and my heart became sour. Maybe nobles would fall in love with a humble person like me, but it was a pity that I had fallen into the abyss of dreams at that time, and I couldn’t see or hear anything clearly.I just feel how disgusting and dirty it is to be liked by a man, and feel that my dignity has been insulted. The hatred and disgust for Oscar takes root in my heart, not to mention that he may marry my beloved Miss Catherine.

The thoughts in my heart were complicated, and I suddenly regretted being close to Oscar again. Am I planning to use him again?I approached him with the intention of using him, because deep down in my heart I wanted to take revenge on those who had hurt me, to punish them.And Mr. Oscar will be a powerful tool for me to carry out revenge, so I deliberately take advantage of his illness to take care of him and win his favor. What is the difference between the despicable me and the previous life?Do you want to deceive him again and hurt him?

The sun had set, and I was standing alone in the dark corridor. The murals on the corridor looked like a blob of ink, changing into all kinds of strange shapes.

"Oh!" a woman exclaimed, "God, you're Owen? What are you doing standing here? It's pitch dark, and the candles aren't even lit."

"Annie? Sorry, I scared you." I apologized to her hastily.

"You've become more and more strange recently. If this continues, Butler Aaron will be angry." Annie lit the candles in the corridor one by one.

"I'll keep an eye out, thank you." I said with a smile.

Annie looked at me blankly, and suddenly blushed, and muttered: "No wonder the new girl is fascinated by you, you are really a man..." After a pause, Annie turned to say: "Lord Oscar's man The servant will come tomorrow, will you continue to serve him?"

"The new servants are here, how could I still be needed." I shook my head and said, "I've been promoted to a senior servant. Butler Aaron will train me for a period of time, and then arrange for me to serve meals."

But that night, Lord Viscount Bruce suddenly called me to the study.

The viscount's study room is full of bookcases, but most of the books are beautifully placed. Our viscount doesn't like reading, he prefers food, wine, and beautiful women.

I still remember the previous life, he patted me on the shoulder and said: "Oscar likes you, as long as you pretend to accept him, he must be very happy, and when he trusts you, you can enter his study... We Bruce family will remember Your kindness will definitely repay your sacrifice. And Catherine, poor girl, she likes you, but was forced to marry that hunchback..."

However, after they got everything, the ugly face turned to me coldly. In the courtroom, this Viscount Bruce pointed at me and said, "Your Honor, he stole my property and should be sentenced to hang!"

When I was in prison waiting to be hanged, there was a war in Yorkshire. I escaped by chance, and then lived in hiding in hiding until the day I died of typhoid fever...

At this moment, I looked at the gentle Viscount and showed a humble smile: "Master, do you have any orders?"

"Oh, you are that brave boy. I heard that you took care of my nephew Oscar. It seems that your actions have won his trust. He told me today that he hopes you will continue to serve him as his personal servant .”

I was stunned when I heard that, Lord Oscar actually appointed me to continue serving him.Could it be because I took good care of him when he was sick, so everything was different from the previous life.

I began to hesitate, the thought of 'using him' disturbed my thoughts again, God let me be born again, is it to let me live another despicable life?If the person who killed me in the previous life was the Viscount family, then the person who killed Oscar was me, and I should stay away from him, far away from him...

"Why don't you talk, huh? When taking care of Oscar, you have to be more careful and let Aaron teach you more." The viscount said, "Report the things around the baron to me regularly, do you understand?"

"But, I..."

"But what!" the Viscount calmed down and said softly, "My child, I know you are a good boy, but I am Oscar's uncle, and I am very worried about him, do you understand?"

"...Yes, I understand, Master."

I almost forgot that as a servant, as long as the master orders, unless I want to be kicked out, there is no room for refusing.
