After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

Fiona, whose mind had been thrown cold water by Vera once again, instantly calmed down.

Yes, yes.

How could a newly arrived slave use such a disrespectful term to address her master?

In that case, this human wouldn't trust her at all, right?

Since you're going to feign submission to this human, you must suppress your pride and adopt the posture of a slave in order to gain this human's trust.

Even this potion, although it was secretly given to her by Miss Vera, everything in the manor belongs to the master. Slaves like them are not entitled to own their own property, so Miss Vera said that it was a gift from the master, right?

Fiona, believing she understood Miss Vera's implication, nodded emphatically: "Miss Vera, I understand! So, what's next...?"

"Next, of course, is for you to get inside and take a good shower!"

Vera pouted, a look of disgust on her face: "You look filthy right now. How long have you been living in that dog cage? How many days has it been since you had a bath? It's a wonder your owner had the time to pet your horns just now..."

As she spoke, she opened the bathroom door and urged, "Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

"Uh……"

Fiona opened her mouth, wanting to refute. If Mu Qiu were here, she could shout, "Even if a knight doesn't bathe for a week, she'll still be cleaner than a dirty human!" But facing the snow-white, obviously clean elf girl in front of her, she really didn't have any confidence.

After all, she had been locked in a dog cage by Lilith for several days, and the accumulated odor from not bathing for days was indeed quite unpleasant. However, Fiona was used to her own smell, and in that kind of environment, no one would care about it.

But now that she had suddenly calmed down, Fiona just sniffed her armpits and felt a churning in her stomach.

Ugh... So the idea that female knights smell nice even without bathing is just a lie from manga?!

Fiona, her dragon tail drooping, walked sullenly into the bathroom.

The moment she closed the door, she heard Vera's footsteps fading into the distance, along with the words, "The new clothes are on the bed, and the key is on the bedside table. Remember to take it with you when you go out."

key?

Fiona was somewhat puzzled.

Miss Vera probably brought her to this luxurious-looking room just to take a bath because of her favored status. Surely such a large room couldn't be meant for her to stay in, could it? Who would believe that?

This place is clearly a room for the master to live in. How can a slave sit on equal footing with the master and live in a room of the same standard?

"This should be my future job, right?"

Fiona pondered for a moment, and a guess formed in her mind.

This room is probably unoccupied at the moment, so the key was given to her to clean it regularly. Her actual place of residence is definitely not here.

"Cleaning work? I hope this human won't make any perverted demands on me... Although even if he did make such a demand, I wouldn't be able to refuse. I just wonder if Miss Vera has lost her virginity to him."

Fiona took a deep breath.

Miss Vera takes good care of her. If this human becomes a beast, she must protect Miss Vera. If this human wants to harm Miss Vera, he should first step over her seductive flesh!

She came out of the bathroom after less than twenty minutes.

Although she really wanted to take a hot bath a little longer, she felt she should be a little more aware of her role as a slave and decided to get out of there as soon as possible...

Wrapped in a bath towel, barefoot on the floor, she glanced around and saw a rather revealing black and white maid outfit on the bed.

"Do I really have to wear this?"

Fiona felt some resistance.

But... if she doesn't wear it, her human master will definitely think that she hasn't submitted yet and will continue to discipline her with sticks, after all, she has already made a choice between a kitchen knife and a stick.

Moreover, this was a task assigned to Miss Vera by her human master. If she didn't obey obediently, Miss Vera might also be punished.

"Miss Vera just helped me, I can't let her down!"

Fiona gritted her teeth and changed into the black and white maid outfit.

As soon as she picked up the key and stepped out of the room, she saw the elven girl waiting at the door.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have a meal."

Is the meal... leftovers from the host's family?

Fiona sighed inwardly.

Hopefully, this is at least better than the expired dog food I was eating next to that succubus.

Chapter 80 Vera, who wants to do bad things to her master, and Fiona, who does bad things!

To Fiona's surprise, Vera did not take her to the cold dungeon or the filthy woodshed, but instead led her through the corridor to the manor's dining room.

As soon as Fiona stepped into the restaurant, she immediately spotted the black-haired boy sitting at the head of the long table.

Her gaze was immediately drawn to the dazzling array of items on the long table, and she could not look away.

Today's breakfast is very rich.

Fiona sniffed; even standing at the restaurant entrance, she could smell the rich aroma of meat emanating from the tables.

Just then, she noticed a cat-eared girl with wheat-colored skin and orange hair crawling under the dining table.

"Luna's Grilled Fish Meow!"

Luna looked at the grilled fish at Mu Qiu's feet with a pained expression.

Because there was too much monster meat to prepare today, all nine catgirls except for Xiaoxiao and Luna went to the kitchen to help.

Only Luna, with the attitude of "I'm the boss, so I should enjoy myself," casually entered the restaurant and waited for the food to be served with Mu Qiu.

Just now, Adele brought out the first grilled fish. Luna felt that she should give it to her master first, but she was also craving a bite, so she pestered Mu Qiu to play a game with her. They covered all the plates on the table and then took turns guessing which plate the grilled fish was on.

Since Mu Qiu had nothing better to do, he decided to play with Luna for a while.

Luna was having a great time spinning her plate, but she accidentally spun the plate of grilled fish so fast it flew off...

"Master, do you want to continue playing with the cat?"

Luna, who was hiding under the dining table, picked up the grilled fish on the ground and looked up at Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu rolled his eyes. He had a feeling that Luna had deliberately flung the plate away.

"Since it's already fallen to the ground, this grilled fish is naturally yours. What's the point of playing anymore?"

"Yes!"

Luna blinked, only then belatedly realizing what was happening.

The items on the table belong to their owner, and the ones that fall on the ground belong to Luna Meow!

She immediately cheered up, wagging her tail happily, her movements more like a husky than a husky.

"What despicable humans..."

Fiona, standing at the restaurant entrance, saw this scene from afar, and her heart sank.

To satisfy that pathetic sense of superiority, they deliberately threw food on the ground, forcing the slaves to abandon their dignity and crawl under the table like dogs to retrieve it...

Presumably, during the mealtime, this human will occasionally throw down some food, and these slaves will have to crawl on the ground like dogs, begging their master to feed them.

Humans are truly a superior species.

Fiona clenched her fists, silently making up her mind.

However, she would never allow Miss Vera to suffer such humiliation again!

I will bear this humiliation alone!

Miss Vera's kindness in changing her dressing will surely be repaid in abundance!

It was Miss Vera who replaced the sow potion, which is why she can still maintain her dragon-human form, instead of being reduced to a sow kept in a pigpen, making grunting noises.

With her Golden Peak Dragonborn Knight profession, even though her battle aura was suppressed, her outstanding physique was far superior to that of these seemingly weak demi-human slaves!

Come on, I'm ready. So what if I'm just like a dog, snatching food under the table?

I'll do this humiliating thing by myself!

Miss Vera, just stand behind me—

Fiona thought to herself, then turned to give the elf beside her a resolute look, only to find that she was all alone.

"?"

Where is Miss Vera?

Fiona was taken aback. She subconsciously looked up and saw Vera had already walked to the seat to Mu Qiu's right and sat down. Her movements were natural and smooth, as if this seat closest to the host was reserved for her.

Vera casually picked up a slice of bread, took a piece of pan-fried foie gras, took an elegant bite, then picked up a cup of warm black tea from the table, took a sip, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Ah—fourth-tier monster meat is indeed much tastier. I've heard that long-term consumption of mid-tier monster meat is also beneficial for improving one's physique."

As she spoke, she suddenly used her fork, still covered in sauce, to bring the remaining half of the foie gras to Mu Qiu's lips.

"what?"

Mu Qiu cast a questioning look at him.

"Of course, the host should also have a taste of the breakfast that others are eating."

Vera snorted lightly, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone: "After all, a lewd human like Master might secretly take out a syringe and inject some kind of magical potion into the foie gras when no one is around, so of course Master has to have a bite too!"

Mu Qiu took a bite of the half-eaten foie gras from his fork and glared at her irritably: "Who would put a drug in foie gras?! Potions aren't that kind of all-purpose stuff! You elf, you've gone to any lengths just to get me to eat your saliva!"

He chewed a few times, then suddenly frowned slightly: "Hey, why does this foie gras taste different from the piece I just ate?"

Vera picked up her black tea and took another sip, saying casually, "It's probably because I just drank black tea."

"Black tea... today's black tea seems to taste even better than the past few days."

Mu Qiu nodded and looked at the cup of black tea on Vera's table.

But he remembered that Adele had brought him milk, right?

She usually prepares wine and milk every morning, and I've never seen her brew black tea in the morning. Besides, she should be busy cooking in the kitchen, so she shouldn't have time to brew tea now.

Where did this cup of black tea come from?

Just as Mu Qiu was about to ask a question, he heard Vera's slow, leisurely voice:

"Although today's breakfast was very lavish, the master must feel it's a pity, right?"

"Among so many kinds of monster meat, there isn't a single one that you need most: bull penis, sheep penis, or tiger penis. Is it because the merchant lady didn't prepare these ingredients, or is Miss Adele simply being inconsiderate?"

Mu Qiu glanced at her and asked in return, "Have you ever seen a healthy, unharmed adventurer drink a recovery potion?"

"Master, you have a lot of confidence in yourself."

Vera stood up with a smile, her long silver hair brushing against Mu Qiu's nose. Her round, pert buttocks deliberately rubbed against his arm as she said with a grin, "Don't embarrass yourself at the crucial moment, okay? Tomorrow there will be more than a dozen gold-level professionals in the manor. Even Master's stamina won't be able to handle so many gold-level maids at the same time, will it?"

"Do you think I'm just buying potions for them to do that kind of thing?!"

Vera pouted and returned to her original position, her tone certain: "Anyway, we'll do that kind of thing sooner or later. Master secretly takes magic potions to become stronger in order to prepare for this great war, right?"

"Otherwise, why would the master, who has been unemployed since childhood, suddenly become a Gold-level professional in just a few days? Is it because he knew that the physical strength of an unemployed person couldn't sustain him to that level?"

"Master, master..."

As the two were talking, Fiona also came over and stood in front of Mu Qiu with a shy expression.

"What are you standing for?"

Mu Qiu put down his knife and fork, picked up a piece of grilled rib, and pointed to the seat next to Vera: "Your portion is over there."

Fiona subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that there was also a complete set of silver cutlery, as well as a plate that was exactly the same as Mu Qiu's plate, piled with roasted ribs, pan-fried foie gras and a bowl of clear duck soup.

It wasn't leftovers, nor was it begging on the ground...

Fiona pursed her lips and responded softly.

"Ah."

She had just noticed that even that orange cat-human could sit at the table to eat, and that its human owner didn't seem to care much about etiquette or rules. He ate very roughly, often grabbing the steak with his hands, tearing it apart, and putting it in his mouth, looking like a commoner who wasn't used to using a knife and fork.

In the Adventurers' Guild, many adventurers also eat like this.

But she seemed to have never seen anyone among the nobility eat like this.
