Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

The back garden area is mostly cleaners. The servants here are responsible for maintaining the sanitation of the entire manor. They are busy from morning to night every day. Most of them are adult men, and there are also a few hard-working middle-aged women.

It was autumn at this time, the sun was shining, the autumn wind swept through the trees in the manor, and the leaves were all over the ground, like laying a colorful carpet on the turf. The servants were cleaning the autumn leaves on the ground, and the child ran towards the crowd without hesitation.

In the distance, a middle-aged woman rushed over. She was wearing a linen maid outfit, with a few leaves stuck to her body, and she looked dirty.

"My God, where have you been?" the woman called out to the child, "Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

Xi Xiumi and the old housekeeper walked over, the woman panicked immediately, subconsciously pulled the child behind her, saluted, and said, "My lord, good day."

"Is this your child?" Xi Xiumi asked kindly, and the woman began to tremble.

Today's situation is special, and she had no choice but to bring the child secretly. Who knew that one of them ran away without paying attention, and unexpectedly alarmed the Earl and the housekeeper. If she was expelled because of this, the whole family would have to drink Northwest Wind .

The woman didn't know how to answer, she subconsciously glanced at the child behind her, and suddenly noticed the milk stains on his body, then she understood, and immediately begged in a broken voice: "My lord, Mr. Housekeeper, no matter what he damages, I am willing to compensate you." , use my salary to compensate, please don’t punish me.”

"Don't be afraid, nothing happened." Xixiu Mi signaled her to calm down, and then said, "I just came here to ask, is this child your own?"

"Of course, of course it's my own." The woman replied hastily, "I'm sorry, my lord, I brought him with me because something happened at home today."

"He knocked over a whole jug of milk on the table," the butler snapped.

The woman trembled even more, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, she was terrified, afraid of being punished by the old housekeeper, or even reduced to a slave.

"That's not the point, butler." Xi Xiumi said to him, his face was a little worried, and he was not angry. The old butler immediately nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Xi Xiumi continued to the woman: "The child told me that he was attracted by the aroma of bread and entered the house by mistake. He hadn't eaten bread for a long time. I don't understand this. Ma'am, I will pay Your salary is enough to feed this child with bread every day, can you explain why?"

The woman didn't speak, trembling all over, and Xixiumi didn't urge her, and waited patiently for her answer. Finally, the old housekeeper couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered from the side: "Your Earl is asking you something, and you still don't answer?"

The woman was about to cry, and after a brief hesitation, she faltered and said: "My lord, you really pay a lot of salary, and I didn't deliberately harsh on my child, but his father, that is, my husband, he, he likes to go Casino, he lost all the family money..."

Xixiumi was startled, but she didn't expect this to be the reason, and the woman began to breathe shortly, secretly observing Xixiumi's expression from time to time to judge whether she had to pack up and leave, or even a catastrophe was imminent.

Xi Xiumi smiled and said, "Since it's because of the family, I don't want to interfere too much, but you still have to be punished for breaking the rules and bringing your children into the manor without permission."

"My lord, can you not punish my mother?" The child stood up from behind the woman, with tears in his eyes, begging bitterly: "It's my fault, it's my fault, if you want to punish me, please punish me." .”

The woman grabbed the child, her eyes were red, but she didn't say a word, just waiting for Xi Xiumi's sentence.

"Well... let me think about it." Xi Xiumi pretended to think, and then said: "Okay, I will punish you as you wish."

Both mother and son were shocked, and looked at Xixiumi, but Xixiumi said: "You are fined to help mother sweep the fallen leaves for a day, don't be lazy, let her take you to eat bread at noon, and the housekeeper grandpa will prepare it for you."

As if they couldn't believe their ears, they stared wide-eyed at the same time, but the old housekeeper frowned and growled, "My lord, this is not in compliance with the rules! If you violate the rules, you should be fired. In case anyone who comes in next time Do you want to murder you?"

"I spend money to raise knights and guards, and it's not just a display." Xi Xiumi said indifferently, "What's more, there are so many magic tools to detect abnormalities in the manor, how can it be as scary as you said."

"Lord Earl, you can't always be like this." The old butler was heartbroken, "As a distinguished hereditary earl, you must clearly reward and punish your servants."

"If you do this, it will only make them push their feet..."

"They won't appreciate your tolerance, they'll just..."

"You... %￥#@..."

Xixiumi automatically blocked the old housekeeper's thoughts, and waved to the stunned mother and son, saying that they still don't want to leave?The mother and son hurriedly bowed to Xi Xiumi, and left in a hurry, lest the lord be annoyed by the housekeeper's words, and might go back on his decision just now.

Xi Xiumi walked back quickly, followed by the nagging butler. At this moment, he suddenly missed Hersius very much.

——Yes, that is the rainbow fart, silver-haired and red-eyed, extremely handsome angel butler who likes to brag about him.

Hersius never talked about him, nor did he object to all his decisions, no matter what he said or did, the guy always said: "Yes, Lord Sishoumi, you are right, everything is up to you To decide, as a steward I have no right to interfere."

How great would it be if he could come to the manor to accompany him from the dream palace?

It might work?He is an angel!

Forget it, let's be self-reliant.

Xi Xiumi decided to take back the decision the day before yesterday. Although the old housekeeper could not affect his business operations, it did affect his mood.

Grandpa the housekeeper is good at everything, but he is too old-fashioned and pedantic. He follows the so-called aristocratic etiquette and regulations. If this continues, everyone here will only be in danger, and the whole manor will lose its humanity.

Xi Xiumi interrupted the chattering old butler and told him that he would meet President Bennet at the main store in the afternoon, and then register with the Butler Association.

"Do as I say, grandpa housekeeper." Xi Xiumi emphasized after finishing his explanation.

The old butler replied helplessly: "Don't worry, I will arrange it right away."

Xinghe City business district, Trewell Street, at the entrance of Wanxiang House.

Xi Xiumi got out of the carriage, surrounded by several knights, and came to the main store under his name, which is also the largest store.

Wanxiang House is a luxury shop carefully built by his late parents. It mainly deals in various high-end perfumes, spices, magic props, and materials needed to make props. In short, it has a wide range of everything.

As soon as they entered the door, all the clerks were immediately in high spirits. They hadn't seen their boss, Lord Sishoumi, for a long time.

This head office is located in the prosperous area of ​​Xinghe City, the business is booming, and it is responsible for providing high-quality incense to the Guangming Church every year, so no one dares to make mistakes here, not to mention the royal law enforcement officers from time to time. If he doesn't come here for a lifetime, the store can still operate as usual, bringing him a steady stream of income.

The shop assistants all stared at the Earl intently, as if this was not the boss inspecting the work, but a god descending, and a god who was so beautiful that he couldn't be more beautiful.

"good afternoon everyone."

Xi Xiumi greeted the clerks with a smile on his face. Seeing his bright smile like a galaxy, the hearts of all the clerks beat faster, and some of them even felt dizzy.

God, the Earl is so beautiful!

His rare black hair, fair and flawless skin, deep black eyes, ruddy lips, and slender figure, are just like the gods described in ancient books, so perfect and noble.

As the foreman, Ernst had the right to say hello to the boss on behalf of all the employees. When he saw Xixiu Mi approaching, he respectfully said, "Good day, Lord Xixiumi."

"Hey..." Xi Xiumi couldn't remember the employee's name at all, and Ernst said sweetly, "My name is Ernst, and I'm the foreman here. It's a great honor for you to come to the head office for inspection."

"Hello, Mr. Ernst." Xi Xiumi said politely.

"My lord, there are still a few customers in the store who haven't left." Ernst said, "Do you think it is necessary to clear the place first, and then put up the sign that the store is closed?"

Xi Xiumi smiled and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Ernst?"

Ernst: "..."

"Of course the Earl doesn't need it." A young man suddenly entered the door and said with a smile, "He's notoriously good-tempered, isn't he?"

Everyone immediately looked at the man, and saw that he was wearing a magician's exclusive hat. He was handsome and exquisitely dressed. He strode up to Xi Xiumi, took off his hat, bowed smartly, and said with a smile: "President of the Association for the Protection of Children of Noble Merit , Bennet, send my regards to Earl Sishoumi."

The knight standing behind Xixiumi snorted, obviously he couldn't understand the greasy-faced president, he dared to interrupt his lord just now, it was really rude!

"Hello, Mr. Bennet." Xi Xiumi joked: "It seems that you did not keep the agreement and arrived on time."

Bennet was stunned, and looked down at the watch wrapped around his arm, which showed the time at 59:[-], and he realized it instantly, and smiled, "I'm really sorry, I'm really not on time, it's early."

"It's okay." Xi Xiumi said, "Let's go to the second floor to talk, so as not to affect other customers' shopping."

"Okay, my lord." Bennet said.

The unknown void, where there is no time, chaos and disorder.

Hersius stood naked in front of the wide bed. His naked body was slender and full of masculine strength, like a perfect sculpture. The pair of black and white giant wings behind him were fully unfolded and trembling slightly.

"He's calling me..."

Hersius stared at the empty bed, with longing for thousands of years, and whispered: "I am here, my lord."
