After discussing the new students with the Voidwalkers for a while, it was already lunchtime. Baiyi stood up and went downstairs. When he passed by the kitchen, he noticed that it was quiet. 'Where's Attie? Did the fox eat her like a kitten? '
When he reached the living room, he saw his little dark-skinned maid and Mia lying on top of the fox, enjoying the comfortable touch of its snow-white fur. The fox was very tolerant of them, even using its tail to gently stroke their bodies, causing the two little fellows to giggle from time to time.
"Aren't you two hungry?" Baiyi snapped. He waved his hand at the owl, who was still hanging upside down on the roof, and said, "There's a restaurant south of here. Could you please order some food for us? Hmm, just say that it's the Aegis's mansion. They know what to do."
The owl raised its left wing and placed it next to its round head, as if it was saluting. However, just as it was about to flap its wing, Vidomina quickly said, "There's no need to trouble Senior Boyd. I've prepared something for you."
Just as she finished her sentence, someone knocked on the door. It was a sound that was neither too light nor too heavy. It was a sound that was in accordance with the etiquette of nobles. Puzzled, Baiyi opened the door and saw a middle-aged man standing at the door. He was dressed in the standard attire of a noble butler, and he wore a one-rimmed spectacle. On the left side of his chest was the emblem of the Wright family.
"It's an honor to meet you, Master Hope!" The butler bowed to Baiyi. "Today, we've prepared a special aerial feast from Gouve. It's the most popular dish these days."
As he said that, he took a step to the side, revealing a row of neat rows of maids. Each of them was holding a silver tray, which was covered with a cover that could clearly reflect one's face.
'Tsk, I almost forgot that I have a rich man in my house. The daughter of a Duke is a princess, and she's a Duke with real power. She's always been low-key and reserved, and she's always gentle when dealing with people. She doesn't have the air of someone who's high and mighty, which makes people forget that she has a powerful father.'
"Master Hope? Are you satisfied with the dishes? " The standard butler lifted the cover of a maid's hand, revealing the golden, crispy, and tender main dish. A rich aroma wafted in the air.
Baiyi knew that if he said that he was not satisfied, the man would immediately take everything back and make a new set, so he could only nod and let them in.
Under the service of the maids, everyone enjoyed the meal with great satisfaction and comfort. For example, the big fox was squatting on a chair in a very elegant manner. The maids beside it carefully helped it to put food on its plate, and it lowered its head to take small bites of the food. It didn't look like a wild beast at all. The owl beside it was the same. It could be seen that it wasn't the first time it ate with humans, and it behaved very politely.
At that moment, Tisdale was the only one who seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Erm … Sunny seems to still be outside? Sorry, we seem to have forgotten about it … "
At that moment, the butler, who was disguised as a statue, suddenly said, "Please don't worry, Miss Aegis. We have specially prepared food for Mr. Sunny."
Vidomina chimed in, "Erm … Senior Sunny prefers raw food, so he usually doesn't eat with us …"
'Oh?' Baiyi pondered for a moment before he used his Psychic Energy to scan the yard outside. In an instant, he understood what Vidomina meant. The scene of the countless snake-like branches tearing a live chicken apart was really horrifying. If an ordinary person were to see it, they would probably lose their appetite.
'Can't this thing learn from the fox and the owl and be a little more cultured?' The maids had even built a canopy for it to prevent it from scaring the passersby.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. In order to find a topic to talk about, Vidomina proudly introduced her team of maids to everyone. They were sent by her father, the Duke, when he heard that she had returned to his territory. They had been serving her for many years, and their professionalism in all aspects was beyond reproach.
"As expected of a princess! Is this how Vidomina usually enjoys her life? I'm so envious … "Mia exclaimed.
"I'm the one envious, Mia," Vidomina said modestly. Vidomina replied modestly, "These are just some mundane things. They're nothing compared to the constant care and concern of your mentor, Mia."
"Eh? Is that so? Vidomina likes Mr. Hope so much … "Mia sighed. Then, she moved her head closer to Vidomina and whispered," Actually, Mr. Hope can be very fierce sometimes. He'll punish us by standing and even spank us with a feather duster. It hurts so much! And the food he cooks is really disgusting. Usually, it's Attie who cooks for us … "
'I heard it! I heard it all! ' 'This unruly little brat! Has she already succumbed to a sugar-coated bullet?' 'I'll teach you a lesson later!' Baiyi thought gloomily.
Vidomina chuckled when she heard Mia's childish words. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, Mia. How about I trade my butler and my maids for Mr. Hope? What do you say?" "What do you say?
"How can you do that?!" I want to be with Mr. Hope forever! "Mia replied without hesitation, shaking her head vigorously." I want to be with Mr. Hope forever! "
Even though she was a little resentful, she was the first one who refused to leave Baiyi.
"Eh? But, Mia, you're going to get married eventually, right? You're so beautiful and so outstanding. There must be a lot of outstanding boys who like you. What will you do after you get married? "Vidomina asked in a joking tone.
Who knew that the little girl would take it seriously. She frowned and thought about it for a long time before replying, "I don't know. I'm still young. It's not the time for me to think about these things."
"But, Mia, you're almost 16 years old. There are many girls at your age who are already mothers …"
"So what? No matter what, I want to be with Mr. Hope! If there's really no other way … "Mia said stubbornly. Then, she looked at Baiyi, who was sitting next to her, with a complicated gaze. Did he not seem to be listening to their conversation?
Baiyi, who had been eavesdropping on their private conversation, felt his heart melt. He wanted to stand up and say to Mia, "It's okay. Even if I can't meet a man strong enough to defeat me, or an ideal man who can win the approval of all the Voidwalkers, it's okay. I'll always take care of you!"
Unfortunately, he could not say those words out loud. He could only cough twice to express the joy in his heart.
The two girls seemed to be afraid that Baiyi would overhear their conversation, so they shut their mouths and ate quietly.
After the meal, the maids quickly cleaned up the place. The butler asked Baiyi for his opinion on whether he should leave some people behind to take care of the students' daily needs. Baiyi quickly shook his head, saying that it would be enough if they could provide three meals a day. He did not want his students to develop the bad habit of being spoiled.
Thus, the group of maids quickly left the mansion, and before they left, they even helped to carry the sunflower into the mansion.
"There will be no classes this afternoon or tomorrow. In the afternoon, I want to get a feel for all of you. Tomorrow, Mia and the others will take you around Arfin City," Baiyi said to the five new students. Baiyi said to the five new students. Then, he took a piece of paper from Tisdale's hand that had a list of the subjects that each student wanted to study. After a quick glance through it, he continued, "I'll try to organize it and try to meet everyone's needs as much as possible, but …"
He looked at the potted sunflower. "You want to go to martial arts class?"
Sunny the sunflower wriggled its body happily, expressing its affirmation.
'You're just a potted sunflower, why would you want to learn martial arts?'
Then, he looked at Nota the fairy. "You want to learn more cooking? You want to learn how to knit a scarf? "
The fairy nodded solemnly and looked at Baiyi with an expectant gaze.
To be honest, Baiyi really wanted to reject her. He was afraid that the girl would forget where she put the pepper powder, or forget who she was knitting a scarf for. That would be too heart-wrenching …
As for the fox and the owl, they wanted to learn druidic magic. Well, that was not a strange request. However, druidic magic was relatively unpopular, and it was not very powerful or practical. After all, there were no Sapphire Golems in this world.
"Well, if it's druidic magic, you can learn it, but I don't know how much you'll learn," Baiyi muttered. There was a druid among the Voidwalkers, but she was a special one. Nobody knew how much of her magic could be understood by the others.
"And then there's Bord. You're interested in theology?" Baiyi asked the owl. 'Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?' Owls are bad omens in the first place, and your original body is a black lump. You don't look like a good thing at first glance, and you still want to learn theology?
In addition to these, everyone was interested in Ancient Rohserlian magic, which could be studied together. Then, to add to the existing public curriculum, they wished to add literature and biology.
'That's not a problem!'
"Wow! Master looks like he's super awesome! He knows everything! " Vidomina exclaimed. "But, if I may be so bold as to ask, is there anything in this world that Master doesn't know?"
