The days when I was a maid in another world

Madeleine was blocked by me, but she didn't feel nervous at all.She put her hands on her chest and abdomen, where the silhouette of a mirror appeared vaguely on the clothes.

"Donnie, you'd better be sensible, or I can make you ugly immediately if I just make a wish." She said with a malicious smile.

This kind of threat is still somewhat useful to me. After all, it is easier to pick up girls if you are good-looking.

"I don't mean to grab it," I immediately stated my position, "I just want to borrow it, and I'll give it to you when I use it up."

She sneered and said, "I don't have time to chat with you, and I won't lend you the mirror, get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!" As she spoke, she turned her wrist, and suddenly there was a gleaming dagger in her hand .

Looking at the dagger, I swallowed nervously, and at the same time squeezed the leather shoes in my hand even tighter.

"Don't let me use it, don't even try to take the mirror away!" I decided to go all out.

She snorted softly, her figure swayed, and she slashed at me with a knife in her hand.I immediately put a pair of leather shoes on top of my head and moved my body aside.When I successfully avoided her knife and dodged aside, she had already taken advantage of the momentum and ran to the window, and looking at me, the bottom of a leather shoe had been cut open.

"You should be glad I don't have time to talk to you!" She said, jumping onto the windowsill, and then pushed open the window and jumped out.

I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked again, I found that she didn't fall directly, but ran to the distance, only then did I realize that the window was still on the roof.I immediately chased to the window and jumped out.

After the two of us ran a few steps on the roof one after the other, we saw her running to the edge and jumping off without hesitation.I knew she couldn't seek death, so I chased after her, and sure enough, she jumped onto a balcony on the third floor, then climbed over the railing and went down to the second floor.

Seeing that I couldn't catch up with him alone, I hurriedly shouted: "Come on, there are assassins!"

I yelled and jumped down.By the time I jumped to the terrace on the third floor, Madeleine had already jumped from the second floor to the ground.

"Come on, catch the thief!"

When I was climbing over the railing, I saw a figure suddenly flashing on the balcony next to me, which shocked me!

The man leaned on the railing with one hand and jumped out, directly onto the ground, and then chased after Madeleine.

Damn, what a skill!

I lay on the railing, looking at that figure patronizingly, forgetting for a while whether to chase after it or not.

At this time, there were numerous footsteps on the ground, and someone shouted: "There is a thief! Don't let him escape!"

Seeing so many people chasing Madeleine, I felt that there was no need for me to step out, so I retracted a leg that was over the railing.

I thought that Madeleine's capture was a certainty, but who would have thought that, with a "bang", there was a sudden gunshot!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several gunshots followed, and the people who were chasing after Madeleine fell to the ground, and couldn't help howling.

I'm completely stunned!I should have thought that the era in which this country lived should have muskets!

Fuck, if Madeleine was carrying a musket instead of a dagger... Thinking of this, I'm already in a cold sweat.

"Bang bang bang bang!" It was the gunshots that sounded from the outside of the yard just now, but now the gunshots sounded from inside the yard. Obviously there were musketeers in the patrol team.

The gunshots woke many people up, and lights were lit in the basement windows, as were the hallways on the first floor.The lights and moonlight illuminated the situation in the yard very clearly.

At this time, Madeleine had run to the base of the wall safe and sound.A masked man in black was riding on the top of the wall. He threw down a rope, and when Madeleine grasped the rope, he immediately pulled her up.

Madeleine is running away, running away with the mirror!

I was so anxious that I subconsciously wanted to jump over the railing and chase her down.

"You'd better stay there." A voice came from the balcony next door.

I looked around and saw another person standing on the balcony where the figure ran out just now.

The man was tall and tall, with short black hair, wearing a white nightgown and a dark green military overcoat. Although he was looking into the yard at this time, and only gave me a profile, I still knew his identity—— —Lord Sterling!

I belatedly realized that the next room was the lord's bedroom.

Since the lord told me to stay where I was, I had no choice but to do so.

I don't have time to think about whether this matter will involve my purpose of entering the mansion. I am only paying attention to Madeleine's movements at the moment.

She had already climbed to the top of the wall. After a few gunshots, she suddenly swayed, but was supported by her companion who rescued her. The two jumped out of the wall at the same time, and then the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the wall.

Seeing that Madeleine disappeared outside the wall, and possibly escaped on horseback, I was so anxious that I quickly looked at the lord, but saw him standing there motionless, with no expression on his face.

Fuck, the holy objects are all lost, why is he not in a hurry!

Several members of the patrol followed Madeleine's group over the wall.At this time, someone brought a horse, and some members of the patrol immediately rode on the horse and chased it out from the gate.The leader was a young man with blond hair, who was the vice-captain Alger.

I said in my heart: Alger, you must fight hard and get that mirror back!

The courtyard gradually quieted down, the sound of horseshoes gradually subsided, and there were a few gunshots in the distance from time to time. The specific results could only be known when the patrol team came back to report.

"Donnie, go in and wait for me!" The lord said to me suddenly.

"Yes." I replied quickly, then turned around and walked from the terrace to the house, which is the lord's study.

After I turned on the light, I stood in front of the desk, pretending to be respectful and waiting, but I kept thinking about how to deal with the lord's interrogation.

Soon, the door of the study was pushed open, and the well-dressed lord walked in.

He went around and sat down behind the desk, took a deep look at me, and said in a low voice, "Tell me what you know."

I nodded and spoke slowly.From thirsty looking for water to discovering someone sneaking up the stairs, to discovering that the guard on the third floor had fallen and there was a noise in the attic, and finally discovering that Madeleine had stolen a mirror and could not stop her from running away.

Among them, I borrowed the mirror from Madeleine, and I will not say it.

After listening to my narration, the lord frowned and thought for a while, then looked at me and asked, "Why didn't you call someone to arrest her from the beginning?"

silly?If you catch her from the beginning, can you still know what she wants to do?Obviously, though, I can't say that.

"I..." I pretended to hesitate, "I thought she wanted...to go to the adult's room..."

Anyway, a maid crawled over his bed before, so it should be normal for me to think so.Besides, the lord's mistresses were all driven back after dinner, and it was reasonable for someone to try to seduce the lord while he was drinking.

"I mean, why didn't you call someone immediately after you found the guard down?" The lord didn't feel embarrassed at all after hearing my words, and he was able to calmly analyze it.

This guy is really hard to deal with!

"I was so frightened." I looked up at him, trying my best to appear sincere, "Before I had time to think about it, I heard a noise above my head, as if the door had been opened..."

I'm going to do my best acting and completely remove myself from this thing.

"I suddenly remembered that there was an attic upstairs, and I followed out of curiosity. Later, I saw that she was holding a mirror and wanted to leave. I guessed that the mirror must be your treasure, so I rushed in and stopped her. As a result, she directly Slash at me with a dagger!"

I suddenly remembered my shoes, and immediately took off the one I had just put on, and turned the sole over to show him, "Look, I blocked the knife with my shoe, otherwise I would be the one who got hurt."

Now that I think about it, daggers are usually used to stab people, and Madeleine slashed at my face, probably trying to scratch my face!Well, it's vicious!

The lord glanced at my shoes, nodded slightly, and then asked, "What did you say?"

I altered the conversation between Madeleine and me a little, omitting any reference to my wanting to use the mirror, and recounted it to him.

"You didn't ask her why she stole that mirror?" The lord pointed at the point again.

I:"……"

The reason why I choose to be silent for a while is because this makes me appear entangled and makes my acting more real.

"Donnie, answer me."

I sneaked a quick glance at him, and then said as if I couldn't hide it and had to say, "I asked, and she said I might as well ask her if the mirror is a sacred object..."

"Why didn't you tell me just now?"

I lowered my head, but I could feel his eyes shooting straight at me. "I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, my life will be lost..."

"Why do you think so?"

"The lord's house has an ancestral sacred object, and everyone in Terai City knows it. Madeleine's actions and words make me think that the mirror is probably a sacred object..." I sneaked another glance at him, pretending to be panicked and said , "Everyone is guessing what the holy object is. Now, only I know that the holy object is a mirror. I'm afraid you..."

"Afraid that I will kill you to silence you?" He finished the last few words for me, saw me nodding, and continued, "Then why are you telling the truth now?"

"Because I can't hide it from you..."

In my opinion, the higher the status of people, the more they like the feeling of superiority, especially crushing others in terms of IQ, which makes them feel that they are different and naturally extraordinary.

"Have you found anything else or would like to add?"

I thought about it carefully, then shook my head and said, "No more."

He nodded and said to me: "Go back first. Remember, stay in the room and don't go anywhere. I will ask Talis to summon you when the time comes."

"Yes." I replied respectfully, then bowed and left the room.

When I got out of the study, I saw Talis and a man standing at the door. I glanced at the man quickly, then nodded to Talis and walked towards the stairs.

When I reached the stairs, I subconsciously glanced back, just in time to see Talis and the man entering the study.The man's silhouette was somewhat familiar to me. After thinking for a while, I suddenly remembered the figure that jumped out from the balcony of the lord's bedroom to chase Madeleine just now.

Let me go, that man has been staying in the lord's room before?
