Alan had heard Hilda's footsteps a long time ago, and had been observing her silently for a while. At this time, he had basically judged from Hilda's reaction that she had no expectations for his arrival, and Philip had no reason to tell his wife that his child would come.
He couldn't control Hilda's emotions.
So it’s best not to tell.
She just happened to be here.
The evidence was Philip, who was still staring at Thomas's body in a daze.
Alan looked at Hilda wiping her tears and lowered his eyes to her shoes.
I don’t know if it was because the resentment that had been silently accumulating in his heart for a day was finally released, but at this moment, his mentality seemed to be caressed by a spring breeze, and the waves of anxiety disappeared in an instant.
Mother?
First meeting.
Not much real feeling
Then don't create any more trouble. This is the best choice for everyone.
Alan nodded and saluted.
"Yes, ma'am, I am the new teacher who will be responsible for teaching Alice the Water God Style in the future. It's our first meeting, and I'm sorry for the offense."
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he did not introduce his name.
Hilda didn't say anything either. It seemed as if she just realized the body of Thomas on the ground. She looked at Thomas, then at Alan, with a confused expression, and let the beast maids tidy up her skirt.
Alan took a step forward and walked towards him.
As they heard the footsteps, their eyes met briefly.
Then they passed each other.
Alan walked towards Sylphy and Rudy, trying to comfort them.
But the next moment.
His steps paused slightly.
But it soon returned to normal.
The system panel was shattered and then resurfaced in a short time.
[Everyone is still dwelling on the fact that you killed someone, and they haven't recovered yet. Even if it was for "justice", even if they have been with you day and night, even if they know you well, at this moment, the bloody "slaughter" behavior always makes people feel more or less in awe.]
[If your actions have a ‘color’, then at this moment, it is undoubtedly a sticky black-red color like coagulated blood.]
【even so.】
【Whose eyes are you in?】
[Shining with a brilliant light like the sun? ]
【Human emotions are always so interesting. 】
[Evaluation of participation, rising. ]
[You have gained Hilda's 'favor'. ]
Chapter 114 Tutoring Arrangements [skip]
The Thomas incident did not cause much waves in the lord's mansion.
First, the evidence is conclusive and he deserves the death penalty.
Secondly, his death was too direct. The way someone handled things was completely different from the nobles' usual way. It was very direct and efficient. Before anyone could react, Thomas, whose face had been washed clean, was already neatly "laid" in front of everyone.
It's true.
In Philip's plan, he would need to spend two days, first to induce Sauros to identify Thomas as the suspect, then to put him under house arrest and collect evidence step by step.
Finally, he was executed in public as an example.
However, the process was quickly shortened in more than ten minutes, and in the end, all Philip had before him was some solid evidence.
And a cold body.
But he still needs to do the subsequent cleanup work. After all, Thomas's "relationships" in the lord's mansion are complicated. Some of his own forces in the town need Philip to appease, and some of the scoundrels in the capital who are secretly spying on him also need Philip to spread the news and deter them.
So, after he helped another butler, Alphonse, who was already prepared, to sit down, he left in a hurry before lunch time.
No one knew where Shao Ross had gone and he never showed up again.
So the fiery red-haired lady felt that she was the owner of the mansion, and with Alphonse following her helplessly throughout the whole process, she hurriedly led Alan and the other two into the depths of the mansion, walked through the long corridors, and came to a residence with a rather gorgeous style.
He said he wanted to choose a bedroom for Alan and the others.
However, during this process, we encountered some minor problems.
Alice wanted to place Allen and Sylphy's bedrooms next to her own bedroom, but Alphonse tried to stop her at the risk of his life.
"why not?!"
"Miss, please forgive me. If the master knew about this, you would have a new butler."
"Huh? Don't stop me!!"
Alphonse, who was energetic, had a well-groomed goatee, wore a monocle and was well-mannered. Now he was in a very embarrassed state, with his glasses crooked at the corner of his mouth. However, he was still holding the young lady with all his strength.
"Miss! Pay attention to the etiquette of the nobility. How can you let guests live next to your bedroom? This is too outrageous. There are special guest rooms for guests. This is the living area for you and the masters."
At the same time, he frantically winked at Alan, Sylphirudi and the other two standing beside him.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Rudy, who usually loves to watch the fun, and Sylphy, who is very considerate, stood on the left and right sides of Alan respectively. They both looked a little dazed by this scene, but their pupils shifted from time to time, indicating that they were not indifferent, but their attention was always on Alan beside them.
The latter had no obvious expression on his face and did not say anything. He had been looking like this ever since Thomas was massacred in the square.
The two children found it difficult to adapt to the depressing atmosphere they had never experienced before.
As a result, the current atmosphere is inevitably a bit stiff.
For a moment, the air in the corridor fell silent.
The footsteps also stopped.
Alan was aware of the sudden silence around him, and finally he pulled his thoughts away from the figure in the red dress who was being surrounded by the beast girls and left. He lowered his eyes.
In his sight were one old man and three children, all four of them staring at his face.
Alan blinked and turned his head to look at Alphonse.
"Does Lord Philip have any instructions regarding the residential area?"
Alphonse quickly glanced at Alice, who was staring at Alan with great dissatisfaction, and smiled awkwardly.
"The young master went out in a hurry. He just said."
He paused for a moment, as if he was a little confused, but immediately continued talking.
"He just told me to follow your instructions completely, but I still think it's not appropriate to live in this area."
"What?! Father told me to listen to Alan!"
As soon as the mad dog's voice rose, Alan reached out and flicked the ahoge on her head, curbing her urge to punch the old butler. This action also caused Alice to shake her head from side to side, as if she was very dissatisfied.
"Let's go to the guest room area."
"what?"
Alan squatted down and looked into the eyes of the somewhat irritable mad dog with a very calm look.
"Alice, this is inappropriate."
"what?"
"The area you live in is not just for you, but also for your mother, father, and grandfather. This is not your private space, but for your entire family. As outsiders, we are more sensible to live in the guest room area, which will not break the boundaries of the 'relationship'."
"As your family's butler, Alphonse is responsible for taking care of your family affairs for your grandfather. This is his duty, so don't make things difficult for him, okay?"
As soon as the words fell, Sylphy and Rudy looked at each other, their expressions somewhat stiff.
Alphonse nodded frequently, showing a relieved expression.
Alice looked at Alan for a moment and spoke reluctantly.
"I know! Then stay in the guest room area, Alphonse! Lead the way!"
-
The guest room area is located in a corner of the first floor of the mansion. No one has lived there for a long time. The classroom used for Alice's daily teaching is just opposite the guest room area and was converted from a guest room.
Compared to other rooms, it is spacious and has a very clear purpose.
It looks a bit sloppy.
But because it faces the sun, the lighting is still pretty good.
According to Alphonse, there are usually no guests staying in the lord's mansion. Rather than a guest room area, it is more like a "dormitory" area for Alice's tutors, and Alice's classroom is set up opposite for the convenience of teaching.
Afterwards, a certain young lady took advantage of the unique convenience, got up early in the morning and attacked the sleeping teachers with a wooden sword. This was purely an accident.
At this moment, inside the classroom, the midday sun shone on the table in front of them. As Rudy stared at them with a twitching mouth, the old butler asked Allen and the others not to worry.
The words were very sincere.
As he spoke, Alice looked at the stool in front of the table and counted on her fingers in a very subtle way.
As soon as Alphonse finished speaking, she pointed at the chairs in front of the table and made arrangements loudly with great excitement.
“This is my spot!”
A chair in the middle of the table.
"This is Sylphy's position!"
To the left of Alice's position.
"This is Alan's position!"
To the right of Alice's position.
"This is the location of Gilenu!"
