Should I raise you too?
Page 22
Simon walked past the kitchen maid, No, and brushed her hair aside. No looked around in confusion but didn't see Simon.
"Simon is certain, he has the ability to become invisible."
"???"
How did you manage to become invisible?!
Even I need the corresponding talisman to use the invisibility spell!
What on earth happened last night?! Did I sleep like a madman?!
Elisa quickly swiped through "Simon's Log" to view the history.
"...In the middle of the night, three thieves broke into the manor."
Elisa covered her head.
What?! A thief!
Another thief!
There was no time to think about stealth; the approaching thieves were more pressing, as most of my fortune was in the manor!
Damn it, in order to avoid being discovered as a superhuman, I only set up a warning spell in the bedroom. Although most of the gold and jewelry were kept in the bedroom, a small portion was still outside.
This included £1000 for the head maid's estate expenses, as well as those valuable silverwares and works of art!
My money!
Elisa quickly scanned the light screen, searching for the final amount of loss.
"...Simon discovered the thieves and subdued them."
Oh, so it was subdued.
Elisa breathed a sigh of relief; her gold pound was safe!
Well done, as expected of my number one male servant!
Elisa looked back at the process; the thieves had used their invisibility abilities, and the servant had used a "treasure-finding ritual" to pinpoint their location.
"Object-finding rituals" can be used like this? So this is the origin of invisibility magic.
Now a new question arises: how did that wretched male servant discover the thieves?
Even if a normal person can't sleep at night, they wouldn't think of using a "finding ritual" to find thieves, right? The thieves were stealing silverware and didn't even pass through the servants' rest area.
As Elisa flipped through Simon's journal, she wondered. Could it be that the male servant had tried to plunder silverware and then encountered someone like him?
Many people who have just mastered "mysticism" quickly go astray.
After reviewing the previous records, Elisa looked at the records at the back.
When the thieves' invisibility spell wore off, revealing their true forms, Simon sighed, "They really are Sheldon, Charles, and George."
Were they the former butler and the former male servant? And that ordinary male servant who broke the silver pot yesterday?
"Sheldon invited Simon to join them and split the silverware, but the honest, upright, kind, and handsome Mr. Simon refused without hesitation."
Elisa blushed as she thought about her earlier guess.
While the term 'honest' is debatable, the fact that the manservant could resist such temptation suggests he wasn't a bad person. These silver items could fetch at least a hundred pounds!
After apologizing to the servant in her heart, Elisa reviewed the entire incident and noticed a particular word.
The record says, 'Simon sighed, they really were Sheldon…' What does this 'really' mean?
Did the male servant already know it was them?
How come I didn't know you already knew? Did you hide information in the "log"? How malicious!
Chapter 23 My Male Servant Father
All the conclusions that the male servant suddenly threw out earlier were traceable, and the conditions for solving the mystery were in the records from the previous few hours.
Elisa went through all the records from last night but couldn't find any relevant information. How did the male servant know that a former colleague had come over to steal last night?
She couldn't help but suspect that the male servant hadn't written this down in the "log" at all, which was a major oversight on his part!
Elisa was thinking about the male servant in her mind.
"Miss Elisa, you're awake!" Eve pushed open the bedroom door and saw Elisa sitting by the bed. She walked in with a delighted expression.
Maria followed Eve.
The head maid was a manager and didn't need to help the young lady get up. Elisa understood that Maria wanted to talk about the thieves.
As expected, the head maid gave a brief account of what happened last night, with Eve occasionally adding a few words, mainly praising Mr. Simon's bravery, wisdom, strength, and handsomeness.
The two maids' words carried a hint of lingering fear and a touch of relief.
After they finished speaking, Elisa nodded calmly and said, "I understand."
Maria said admiringly, "As expected of Miss Elisa, so calm."
Eve looked at the young lady with reverence: "I was absolutely terrified when I first heard about it!"
My heart was pounding when I first saw "Simon's Journal." If I hadn't read the journal first and had instead listened to what you all said, I would have been incredibly anxious, Elisa thought to herself.
She smiled gracefully: "Being anxious won't change the past."
This statement isn't new; Eve and Maria have both heard it before. But only when you're actually in the situation do you realize how difficult it is to put into practice.
They bowed their heads and greeted Miss Elisa, indicating that they had learned something.
As expected of Miss Elisa!
Aside from being a bit childish for caring about her bust size, Miss Elisa is the epitome of elegance!
Elisa nodded demurely, stood up, and had two maids help her wash and change.
"How did Simon discover the three thieves?" she asked, voicing her concern and trying to understand what information the servant was hiding.
Maria replied, "Mr. Simon said that he felt something was wrong with George around noon yesterday."
noon?
Elisa was taken aback, then quickly used her mind to navigate through "Simon's Log" and found the log from yesterday noon.
The above story tells of a subordinate's mistake: an ordinary male servant broke a silver pot. Yesterday, she paid attention to this matter and received a proverb: "The first time, forgive; the second time, bring consequences."
The manservant who caused this incident and broke the silver pot was named George.
He's one of the three thieves!
Elisa stared at a sentence in the "log".
"...Simon asked George why he, who had been a valet for six years, would make such a mistake..."
A male servant for 6 years, he shouldn't have made a mistake, but he did...
The solution conditions were actually here!
This condition occurred more than half a day after the puzzle appeared! I only looked through the records from the first five or six hours, so I didn't find it.
No, even if I had just found it, I might not have realized it.
Just looking at this sentence, no matter how you look at it, it's just a normal reprimand, and it doesn't feel like there's any important information at all!
Only by thinking carefully can one discover the mystery; I didn't think about it carefully at the time!
Damn it, I've read "Simon's Journal" very carefully, and it's still not enough!
Elisa was quick to think; while she was regretting her actions, Maria had just organized her thoughts.
The head maid explained, "Yesterday at noon, George..."
“He dropped the silver pot,” Elisa interrupted. “Well, George is a servant with six years of experience. He shouldn’t have made such a mistake unless he was extremely flustered and anxious about the impending theft.”
Maria and Eve opened their mouths, their eyes filled with surprise and deep awe.
“Just as you expected.” Maria lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Miss Elisa.
Miss Elisa not only quickly learned the truth, but also found out that George had broken the silver pot and that George had been working for six years!
People in cafes and pubs say that the islanders are all rude, stupid curly-haired baboons, but that must be a rumor. Miss Elisa from the islands is practically a detective!
“Your wisdom is amazing,” Maria said sincerely.
Elisa smiled and shook her head: "It only requires a little attention and a little reasoning."
She felt a surge of joy: It felt so good to be treated like a smart person!
I was often praised for my intelligence by my teachers in the archipelago, but after arriving in the capital, everyone who knew I came from the archipelago looked at me with the same scrutinizing gaze one would give a curly-haired baboon, including the ladies at the salon that day and the servants at the manor.
I've finally broken free from that stereotype!
While she was overjoyed, she also felt a little guilty.
Elisa, Elisa, be confident! What belongs to the male servant is yours, what belongs to the subordinate is the leader's merit, what belongs to the subordinate is the leader's talent!
And I really did discover this myself!
Yes, I found it in "Simon's Journal".
Miss Elisa straightened her back and asked, "Where are the three thieves?"
