You call this the mastermind?

As the steward of Chelsea Manor, the round-faced grandfather Fox is of course the lady’s direct descendant.

But no matter how direct he is, he is not as important as the face of the big family——

As a servant, he kissed his master's cousin, and even made the scene known to everyone.

This is a taboo.

Although the old housekeeper was very innocent in this matter.

But innocence or innocence is not something that a master needs to consider.

The master would only consider letting the old man be the housekeeper of the manor, so what would the servants think of when they see him?

What do foreign guests think of when they see him?

Think of this old man working hard and treating others politely?

This is possible.

But more often than not, they would only focus on certain gossip events, and then look at the old man strangely.

The effect is comparable to Melen's previous use of throwing dirty water on the old widow.

This is human nature and cannot be avoided.

Mellen figured this out easily.

Then he understood that the old housekeeper had come to ask for mercy from his apprentice.

He hesitated.

Mellen had a good impression of the butler named Fox.

Because if the housekeeper hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have gone to see the teacher.

If you don't meet the teacher, you may not be able to enter the wizarding world so smoothly.

At least he won't get the Sun Knight Breathing Technique that has benefited him a lot.

So even though I was stopped at that time, I still felt aggrieved.

But now, Melen thinks that the old housekeeper is a good person, who is as good as a matchmaker for him.

However, he didn't think the teacher could listen to him on this kind of issue involving the dignity of the family.

But even if he didn't think the result would be good, Melen planned to give it a try.

Since people have come to ask for help, whether it can be done is another question, at least we can't remain indifferent.

"It's just that contacting the teacher now seems a bit too fast and not fermented enough..."

This regretful thought flashed through his mind, but on the surface, he had already opened the book of secret words to the page corresponding to the teacher.

After thinking about it, Mellen did not mention it immediately, but talked about what happened last night.

"I don't know exactly what you went through last night, but I can feel your difficulties and understand why you did what you did."

Mrs. Chelsea has not contacted him yet. She is obviously concerned about some behavior between the two parties, which has gone beyond the master-student relationship.

Therefore, classifying this matter as a serious matter rather than an ambiguous matter can reduce this concern to the greatest extent.

But if you want to use this to "break the ice", it is not enough.

"I have always thought that you, teacher, are a majestic yet kind person. Although sometimes you are too silent, which makes it difficult to communicate, but overall, in my heart, you are always a person who cares very much about students. A good teacher is an elder.”

"This concept will not change because of some accidents."

When you praise someone, you can't just say good things. Praising the other person's strengths while adding some less important shortcomings will make people feel more authentic, credible, and sincere.

However, Mellen is not only praising Mrs. Chelsea, but also expressing his current thoughts.

What made the teacher silent after this incident was not only that she felt that she had done something wrong, but more importantly, she was not sure what the student Mellen would think of her because of this.

She wasn't sure what Melen was thinking, so she would become suspicious and subconsciously think about things in the worst possible way.

So now that Mellen expresses what he thinks, he can remove this suspicion to the greatest extent, and then let the teacher feel the stability of the relationship between the two parties again.

In a sense, this actually gives the other party a sense of security in the relationship, so that when she thinks of her apprentice, she no longer has to waste energy immersed in the uncertainty between the two parties.

The situation was similar to torture. After waiting for a while, my confession finally got a reply.

Or something like a student exam.

Before the results of the exam come out, students will be uneasy and nervous, but as soon as the results come out, no matter whether they are good or bad, they will immediately relax——

Unless your grades are too bad, you will face a severe beating when you return home.

"But no matter what, this matter is clearly beyond your tolerance. I can understand your current attitude and thoughts, and I can also understand what you are worried about now."

"So I will leave the manor next, and I will no longer beg you to go with me to the world in the storybook."

This passage is very simple, use retreat to advance.

After three sentences, Meren put down his quill, sat back on the sofa, and began to wait quietly.

Responding with routines will be much more effective than talking nonsense dominated by emotions.

But the human heart is the most difficult to grasp. He actually dared not say that what he did would be successful.

So Mellen is still a little nervous now.

However, a few words from the other side soon made him relax immediately.

"I have some physical problems. I'm not deliberately neglecting you. Don't think blindly."

"Of course I won't just let go of what I promised you."

As if to increase the persuasiveness, the opposite person added another sentence.

"I've been busy these two days, so just wait a little longer. I'll take you to the challenge around the 13th."

The teacher is really innocent...

Looking at these replies, this thought flashed through Mellen's mind, and a proud smile appeared on his face.

But then, he used the tone of a student to tell him about the old butler coming to him to ask for mercy.

He didn't say much, because being able to bring this up was a statement.

The other party's response was simple.

"I don't have the energy to care about these trivial matters for the time being, but you can tell him that even if he is transferred, he will only be transferred to a higher-level position. Now, he should do what he should do."

This is actually as it should be.

In addition to considering his face, the master will also consider the servants' years of merit and what other servants will think.     So the old butler can only be "promoted" but not "demoted".

As the person involved, the old butler certainly couldn't have thought of this joint.

But the key to the matter is, what position can be better than staying with the lady?

Mellen didn't say anything about it.

Seeing that the teacher didn't reply, he turned the secret book back to the page of the little round face and passed on the teacher's response.

Then, without waiting for the other party to say anything, Mellen closed the secret book.

Since the old butler opposite could contact him through the little round face, he would definitely not ignore the fact that his apprenticeship status could not be known by outsiders.

So Mellen didn't have to worry about what he said being known by the little round face.

But in this matter, he felt that he was just a mouthpiece, nothing special, so he didn't care too much.

However, what Mellen didn't know was that this "ability" to contact Mrs. Chelsea in a minute, and even directly ask the other party's thoughts, was not something that anyone could do...

...

"The teacher is considering giving your grandfather a better position, but hasn't figured out how to arrange it, so you can ask him to be patient first."

The reply that appeared on the secret book was no more than ten minutes away from the message sent here not long ago.

Looking at this line of words, Butler Fox fell into silence.

"Can Egg really think of any way?"

The little round face, whose secret book was being used by his grandfather, was sitting not far away. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Although he is very smart, he can't think of any way to influence the lady's decision, right?"

"No one in the world has the ability to change the lady's decision."

Butler Fox answered.

In fact, he had expected the outcome of being transferred away.

So now, he was thinking about another thing-

He believed that no one knew more clearly than him what was going on between Mellen and the lady.

After all, he had been in contact with Mellen since he was still a secular person.

It can be said that he witnessed with his own eyes how this young man transformed from a secular person to a wizard step by step, and then became the lady's apprentice.

But in his cognition, Mellen became the lady's apprentice only because he had some strange "bonds" with the lady, which made the lady think of accepting him as an apprentice by chance.

Although it was later shown that the apprentice was very talented and had strong personal abilities.

But this was not the reason why the lady was particularly fond of this apprentice.

However, at the moment, the other party could easily find out the lady's thoughts...

Although there was nothing worth hiding about this idea.

But if the lady had the heart to care about this matter, she would not have passed the message through the apprentice, but would have spoken to him directly.

In other words, he, the direct descendant of the Chelsea family, would not get a response at all if he used the Book of Secret Languages ​​to contact the lady now.

But the other party did it easily.

Moreover, Butler Fox still clearly remembered that the "old widow" who caused his "career crisis" not long ago was a senior executive of the Ministry of Magic and the cousin of the lady.

He wanted to meet the lady, or even convey her thoughts directly to the lady, but he failed.

Mellen, this little apprentice...

"If it's not Egg, could it be someone else who responded?"

The little round face sitting not far away knew nothing about it.

He was surprised to see that grandpa's expression was confused and puzzled in a trance.

Grandpa didn't put too much hope on Egg. After all, no matter how smart he was, Egg was just an outsider who could only give advice and couldn't do more.

So before this, grandpa actually contacted other people, hoping to help plead for mercy.

But this kind of contact was all done by grandpa using his own secret book...

"You don't have to worry about it."

The old butler did not explain it.

After clearing the chat messages, he stood up and returned the secret book to his grandson, saying with a serious expression: "Next, you have to think about one thing."

"What is it?"

"After entering Saint Grant Castle, find a way to become Egg's roommate."

Become Egg's roommate?

The little round-faced man was stunned when he heard this.

"Didn't you tell me to find a way to become Kevin's roommate? Why did you change your mind now?"

There are countless small wizard families that rely on big families, and it is not so easy to stand out from them.

To achieve this, the ability level is secondary, and the most important thing is actually to build a good relationship with the masters.

So Butler Fox has been telling the little round-faced man to become a friend who can talk to Kevin, the future son-in-law of the Chelsea family, and to do his best to qualify as his roommate in Saint Grant Castle.

It can be said that this is related to the foundation of our future survival and cannot be careless.

So usually, Little Round Face has been preparing for this matter, and the progress is actually pretty good.

At least among the many vassals of the younger generation of the Chelsea family, Kevin's friendship with him is unmatched by others.

But now...

He didn't give the little round face a chance to continue asking.

Because a servant came to report that a truth believer named Guderian was waiting outside the manor with one of his companions.

The old housekeeper hurried away.

The little round face was left alone, feeling very confused.
