Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Then there were their three meals a day, each with wine and meat, which was quite a feast compared to many families in their time who were still eating black bread.

Paul, the father, and Senis, the mother, were not ordinary people either.

Paul possesses extremely refined swordsmanship skills, while Senis is a magician, though she rarely reveals them, but judging from her skill level, she is also a quite powerful magician.

Wood's older brother Rudy, who is the same age as him, is no ordinary person either... Of course, the "extraordinary" here does not mean that he is also a swordsman or a magician.

Instead, Wood discovered that Ruth, at just one year old, would have a lewd expression on his face and crawl around wearing Lilia's panties.

Lilia is a maid in the Grerat family. She is a strikingly beautiful woman with long red hair and an extremely mature appearance.

As a maid in this household, it is her duty to show respect to the master family and to care for their children.

However, Lilia felt that something was really wrong with the two children in the Grerat family. She even wondered if the two children were possessed by a so-called demon.

Chapter 236 The Second Chapter Thirty-Six: The Prodigy Wood Gray

Rat

Leaving aside young Master Wood Grellatt, although Wood often falls into long periods of reverie and has never cried or made a fuss since childhood, he is very quiet.

Compared to other children, this is quite extreme, but it can be roughly understood as being by nature; he is a child who is not very active.

However, it was different with the eldest son, Rudeus. Lilia had discovered more than once that she was being spied on by strange eyes while changing clothes.

At first, she was on guard and assumed it was the work of Paul Greirat, the only male head of the household.

However, after an unexpected discovery, Lilia found that the person spying on her was none other than young master Rudy, who still walked with a limp!

At first, Lilia thought it was a coincidence, after all, how old was young Master Rudy? How could he understand these things?

However, by chance, Lilya witnessed young Master Ruth, who was only a little over a year old, displaying a lewd expression like an adult, and Lilya was instantly unsettled.

A child couldn't possibly make that kind of expression, so Lilia was certain that young master Rudy was possessed by a so-called demon.

After all, in this world of swords and magic, things like this are not uncommon in rural areas.

Lilia wanted to tell Mrs. Senis about this, but Rudy behaved perfectly normally except in special circumstances.

Furthermore, Senis doted on her two children, and Lilia was worried that revealing this would anger the family and cause them to kick her out of the house, so she kept the secret to herself.

Of course, although the secret was kept in her heart, it didn't mean she would forget about it. Lilia, who believed Rudy was unclean, began to distance herself from him because of this.

No, to say that we've grown distant is more accurately described as being afraid to have too much contact with them.

Grellat's livelihood depended on Paul's knightly income, and because his family was large, the food they ate was not cheap.

So after fulfilling his duties as a knight, Paul would occasionally go into the forest to hunt game, after all, he was the head of the household.

Because Senis had no experience, she often found herself overwhelmed when trying to take care of two children on her own.

Therefore, Lilia, the only maid in the house, became Senis's best and most capable helper.

According to Senis, in addition to the daily feeding, Senis hoped that Lilia would also share the work of taking care of Wood and Rudy.

When asked whether she would prefer to take care of Rudy or Wood, Lilia almost immediately chose Wood Grellatt, the second son of the Grellatt family, without much hesitation.

Generally speaking, if she were a maid, she would definitely choose Rudeus, who is the eldest son, as he is the eldest son and the one who will inherit the family in the future.

However, every time Lilia saw Rudy, she couldn't help but recall Rudy's lewd smile, so while feeling a chill, Lilia still decisively chose the more normal Wood.

Undeniably, Wood, who was relatively independent from a young age and never cried, was also a strange child in Lilia's eyes.

But no matter what, "strange" is much better than "perverted".

"It seems Lilia prefers Wood. Even though they are twins, does Lilia like her younger brother more?"

Paul and Senis are both good-looking, and as their children, Wood and Rudy are naturally not bad-looking either.

As twins, Wood and Rudy look exactly alike, the only difference being the beauty mark under their eyes, one on the left and the other on the right.

Lilia could only respond with a wry smile to Senis's words.

To be honest, it's not that she doesn't like children, it's just that she's really at a loss when it comes to strange children.

At first, Lilia was somewhat afraid and resistant when she was taking care of Wood and teaching him some manners.

There's no other reason than that, although Wood isn't Rudy, the two look alike. Rudy left a deep impression on Lilia, causing her to recall Rudy's rather lewd smile whenever she sees Wood.

"Don't worry, Lilia, I'm not like that guy Rudy. I'll behave myself."

In exchange, could you teach me to read and write, and some other things?

Seeing Lilia's somewhat timid expression, Wood, taking advantage of his young age, shamelessly acted cute and revealed his purpose.

This is a world of swords and magic, and many adventurer professions that every traveler dreams of.

More importantly, this world has magic, and it's not a magical world like "The Familiar of Zero" where only nobles can use it.

In this world, anyone with magical talent is qualified to learn magic.

Furthermore, both magic and swordsmanship in this world are clearly divided into seven levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor, and god.

As for swordsmanship, it's not that Wood is boasting, but rather that he believes he has reached a certain level after accumulating experience in both worlds.

Now, Wood is more interested in the magic of this world!

Because Senis was a magician, her family also had some magic books, but unfortunately, young Wood was illiterate.

Even if he wanted to learn the magic of this world through the grimoire, if he couldn't even read the most basic characters, then learning magic would be utterly pointless.

At first, Lilya found it quite strange that Wood, a child who was just over a year old and could not even speak fluently, wanted to learn words and knowledge.

However, when Lilia thought of Rudy compared to Wood, she also thought that, at least compared to Rudy's illogical and sleazy nature, Wood's studiousness was not necessarily a bad thing.

Lilia was originally a palace maid in the Asura Kingdom's harem, and she and Paul were even fellow disciples. She ended up here because of a coup.

As a royal guard maid, Lilia is naturally very knowledgeable and skilled in various noble etiquettes, and also knows some basic swordsmanship.

As for literacy, because she was just a maid, Lilia's literacy was actually quite limited.

Even so, Lilia believes that she is more than capable of teaching a child under two years old.

However, to Lilia's surprise, she overestimated her knowledge, or rather, underestimated Wood's talent and intelligence.

In less than two months, Wood had completely drained Lilia of her limited knowledge.

What surprised Lilya even more was that Wood not only showed outstanding talent in learning to read, but also mastered all kinds of complicated court etiquette in just two months, to the point that even she could not find fault with him!

Chapter 237 Wood: I've already bathed with Lilia.

Wood's terrifying talent greatly alarmed Lilia, and made her even more certain that Wood was definitely not an ordinary child.

However, unlike her initial belief that Wood was a child possessed by a demon, Lilia's thoughts have now changed.

Compared to Rudyus Grellatt, Wood was clearly more likable. While demonstrating exceptional intelligence and talent, Wood never did anything else strange.

Not only is she quiet and serious, but she is also polite and courteous, never showing any disrespect even to her own maid.

Wood enjoys reading because he can learn about the world's culture, geography, ethnic characteristics, and historical background from the various stories in books.

Stories are written by people, and to create a story, there generally needs to be logic and a reference background.

Every time Wood finished reading a book, he would pester Lilia to tell him the story.

Wood did this with ulterior motives: to tell the story in a boastful manner so that he could use it as a pretext to ask many questions without arousing suspicion.

However, from Lillia's perspective, Wood's actions were clearly a different matter.

Wood was very intelligent, a fact that Lilia had come to fully understand in the short time she had been taking care of him.

However, besides being intelligent, this child also retained the natural instincts of a child, namely, showing off to elders and seeking praise.

That's right. In Lilya's opinion, Wood would pester her to tell him stories just to get her praise and reward.

More than three years have passed, and Lilia's attitude towards Wood has gradually changed from dislike and rejection at the beginning to normal treatment, and then to care and love.

They said they lived together, and that Paul and Senis had never treated Lilia harshly.

However, Lilia was always an outsider to this family.

Young Wood saw through this, so he would often chat with Lilia, and sometimes he would comfort her in a precocious way, or cheer her up when she was unhappy.

Over time, Lilia's feelings toward Wood naturally changed completely.

In her view, Wood was such a smart and understanding child that it was impossible for him to be possessed by any demon. If he were, he must be an angel!

"Crack——————!"

Lilia was washing herself in her room when the tightly closed wooden door was secretly opened a crack.

A short figure was crouching behind the door, peeking furtively through the crack.

Unfortunately, Lilia was, after all, a former guard maid with some combat ability, so she was already alert when the wooden door made the slightest noise.

The white sheets were pulled up and covered her graceful body with lightning speed. Lilia stared at the pair of large eyes peeking out from behind the door with hostility, waiting for the other person to come out and admit their mistake.

"Lilia, I didn't know you were taking a shower. I just wanted to tell you a new story I just read."

The peeping tom behind the door realized he had been discovered and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside, putting on an embarrassed expression as he spoke.

“Young Master Rudius, please do not impersonate your younger brother, Young Master Wood.”

Although you are twins, I know Master Wood too well; he would never show that kind of expression, nor would he act that way.
